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 ...

Brought my Apex 215RBK home last week. What a great unit, totally impressed, actually much bigger then I had ever expected.
Lots of storage space inside and outside! Tows like a dream with my 8 cylinder Toyota 4Runner.
The 38" slide out really makes a difference! And the dinette is very large, wide enough and long enough to sleep 2 tall grandchildren once awhile when they come with us. Our third grandchild can sleep on a 27" wide memory foam tri-fold mattress that we store inside the corner shower.
Their sleeping bags fit nicely in one of the dinette storage compartments, and their suitcases in the huge storage compartment in the bathroom above the outside kitchen.
The master bedroom is small however, with a short queen mattress, and that is where the 7"-6" width (vs 8'-0") becomes noticeable. Very tight! But it will do OK for sleeping, and the mattress is quite comfortable.
The total length of the camper was limited to about 25' to fit in my 28' long driveway. The 215RBK was the shortest unit I could find with an outside kitchen. And that outside kitchen is absolutely fantastic, even has room for an ice-maker! My only complaint is that the slide out grill operates on the disposable propane bottles, would love to be able to run it from the camper propane system. Still working on this problem.
So, our first outing will be this upcoming Memorial Day Weekend, hopefully we will not encounter any issues, but if we do at least it will be under warranty.
Almost forgot to mention, I replaced ALL the incandescent bulbs with natural white LED bulbs purchased from M4LED.com.
