I got 100 cu ft with space for the included spare in my 21' Coachmen.
Is that the Coachmen model I've seen at RV shows with the rear floor of the coach raised up so that there is a huge across-the-coach storage chamber in the back? If yours is that Coachmen model, then it's uninterrupted large storage bay is indeed very nice for a few big things like non-foldup bikes, lawn chairs, an inflatable boat, or a spare tire.
However, if so:
- We could never put up with stepping up/down all the time when going back and forth while camped and moving around inside the coach.
- That huge storage capacity is of course made up of all one compartment making is difficult to keep things separate without piling stuff on top of each other ... unless one installs a bunch of shelfs or uses a bunch of plastic storage containers.
Part of our 38 cubic feet is a large enough storage bay that could hold an inflatable boat and does hold lawn chairs - but not large enough for non-foldup bikes. Our other five(5) exterior storage bays are excellent for keeping categories of gear separated - like fishing poles, BBQ equipment, leveling blocks, tools, and other long items such as shovels/brooms/beach-umbrellas/tree trimmers.
We have two(2) more exterior storage bays that are not included in our 38 cubic foot specification ... one bay for electrical and one bay for plumbing.
