Coachmen Apex Nano 228BHS
Still in production. A used 2023 would run roughly $28,900.
dry weight 4,632 lb + fresh water (52 gal, full) 434 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 228BHS's published weights held steady.

Coachmen (Mixed tier): Coachmen's sub-5,000lb Azdel-walled ultra-lite. Aluma-Cage framing with vacuum-bonded dual-Azdel sidewalls, 400W solar and a 15,000 BTU A/C standard on current units — genuinely good bones for the weight class, with Forest River's uneven dealer support as the offsetting risk.

The largest Apex Nano — 27ft, seven berths, and still only a 6,000lb GVWR.
