I agree with all of the above!!
basically, that's too much trailer for the jeep
also be careful with "ultralite" trailers, build quality is very "lite" you'll have floors that feel like a trampoline, I had one, hated the bouncy floor. had a hard time selling it because the floors were so "soft and bouncy"

You must have had a cheap ultra lite. Mine is very lite, and the floors are as solid as a rock. In truth the whole thing is solid. But then it is made from really strong lite weight composite material that won't rot.

All I'm saying is "many" lite weight TT are made very well. You have to be careful what you buy.

A Coachmen Apex is made from really strong lightweight composite materials? Thats a good one.

Do you know what it is made of?????? I do, and I did research on the material. The walls made from a material that was only available on high end coaches for a long time. The material is 50% lighter, and stronger than luan backed fiberglass. plus it has a 50% higher R insulation value. It also will not rot. Why do you have a problem with that????


In truth. Many Coachmen RV have started using the same material, and I believe the makers of Coleman RVs now use it or a variation of it as well. My Apex is 6 years old. It looks like new, The inside is like new. I have no problem with space age material. Why do you?

Google can be your friend

You have bought into the sales brochure BS. I dont have a problem with it and I do know what you're referring to.

Its called Azdel. The only place it is used on a Coachmen product is for the layer in the wall lamination that the filon is laminated to. And only on the two sidewalls. Not the floor, roof, front or back walls, or anywhere else. On the 2 sidewalls the inner layer is 1/8" luan plywood with the wallcovering glued to it.

The Azdel will not delaminate or rot, but get water in that panel and the low VOC water based adhesives will still let loose and the filon can delaminate from the Azdel, or the Azdel from the foam' or the inner plywood from the foam. Delamination is delamination.

Your floor, roof, and end walls are built just the same with the same materials as almost every other trailer out there thats not stick and tin. I have done the research when I almost purchased a Coachmen back in 2014. It was a front bedroom travel trailer with a single hybrid style bunk at the rear, the 243 DSX.

You may think you have some bulletproof indestructible space age miracle trailer. You're mistaken.
