Kickin the tents out! And moving on up!

While I also tent camped for years and now own a smaller trailer, I don't own either of those models. But I took at look at the floorplans and found a few things you may want to think about:

• the Apex is 7.5' wide vs the Tracer is 8'. Not sure if the narrower model is narrower by enough to make any towing differences, but it will make some space difference
  
• check on the bunk width in the Apex. The web site doesn't seem to say what it is. The Tracer's bunks are 38" wide. That's what ours are in our trailer and I consider it the bare minimum. The 38" wide can at least sleep an adult comfortably. And the top single bunks can be a bit claustrophobic so having more width is nice.
  
• the bathroom in both models is at the rear. Do you have kids? I know that I'm super happy with having our bathroom just across from the door when you step in. That way a kid can run into pee without having to remove shoes, and dirt and gravel aren't tracked throughout the entire trailer. We don't wear shoes in the trailer normally, so I don't want dirt and gravel all the way to the back. It takes me less than a minute to sweep the bathroom and path to it when I step inside to cook.

Those might not be issues for you at all but just thought I'd toss the thoughts out there.
