Greetings all,
We actually found the perfect camper!
The 2014 Coachmen Catalina 25RKS.
However, we have been looking online for a dealer that has what we want in stock at a price we can live with. In the course of this search I happened to notice that some websites show exterior photos and the camper is labeled "Coachmen Catalina Deluxe Edition" while others, with the same model number, are simply "Coachmen Catalina". A visit to the Coachmen RV website is unenlightening concerning the difference between the two. In fact, there is no mention of a deluxe edition anywhere on the website that I can find. When I compare the photos from the different dealers' websites, it appears the only difference is color/pattern on the outside and inside. The floor plans are identical and even the fixtures are the same.
I'm confused because I can't find anything anywhere that actually says there are two different versions of the same camper, but I'm seeing what appears to be two different versions.
I'm hoping somebody on here is able and willing to explain the difference to me and provide guidance as to how I can ensure I get what the boss wants (she prefers the pattern of the one called "Deluxe Edition").
Thanks in advance for your help!

Their website lists 3 different Catalina: Destination, Santara, and Deluxe. A destination trailer is probably built more for long term placement and not really intended to be moved around very much. destination style campers may not have holding tanks for instance.

As for the "Deluxe" series I think the main difference is in features offered and possible differnces in construction/materials. Check the specifications on the website carefully. If you can - find a RV dealer or show so you can see for yourself. I was frustrated as well because I also saw what appeared to be the same camper listed at some dealers as Deluxe and some just as Catalina when they were clearly the exact same camper.

I looked at the Deluxe series last year while we were researching and ended up going with our Starcraft mainly because we wanted a specific floorplan and outside kitchen layout. The Catalina Deluxe Edition and Jayco Jayflight were also close to the top of my list.

Just a glance on their website and all I see is the Catalina Deluxe Edition under the Travel Trailer pull down menu from the main page. TT manufactures often have a few different color schemes for the same trailer.
