Coachmen Apex 215RBK
Just ordered a Coachmen Apex 215RBK with the elite package, electric awning and frameless windows. Great floor plan with an outdoor kitchen and walk around queen bed. Traded in my Surveyor SV233T ...

After having camped for 34 nights this past summer in the Apex 215RBK, I have nothing but praise for this AWESOME unit.
Just a few minor issues that I intend to have fixed by the dealer under warranty next Spring when I take it there for the NYS inspection:
*cracked sewer outlet cover, and
*loose 30A main power receptacle.
As I stated before, the floor-plan is ideal for the wife and I and sometimes 2 or 3 grandchildren.
The outdoor kitchen was the most important selling point for me, and it is the feature that I would never again be without!
I added an ice-maker, 6 bottle wine/whisky rack, paper towel holder, and LED strip lights in the outdoor kitchen.
Have used the outdoor kitchen even in the rain since its door makes a perfect rain cover.
Replaced the slide out Coleman grill with the 2 burner model after my Nephew burned out the single burner grill that came with the RV. Much better grill. Slowly getting used to having to use the 1 pound propane bottles.
The mattress is quite comfortable even more so after I added a 1 1/2" of memory foam and a mattress topper. The short length of the mattress works marginally with my 275 pound, 6' 0" body.
Towing and set up is a breeze, specially with the Anderson levelers which I trimmed 1.5" so it fits better between the 2 axles.
With an AccuLevel that I mounted on the front of the trailer, I can back the trailer up on the Anderson levelers and see from inside my 4Runner tow vehicle when the trailer is PERFECTLY level. Worked like a charm each time, all season! Not even one of our 6 campsites was even close to level!
I highly recommend this eco-friendly travel trailer, the quality in materials and workmanship is truly outstanding.
Looking forward already to next season.
