WHAT ONE COSTS
price not published

The maker never published an MSRP for this floorplan. Unknown is not cheap. Treat any asking price against comparable models, not against zero.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~9,583 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 8,324 lb + fresh water (55 gal, full) 459 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

You want a tow rating around10,650 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)11,310 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,278 lb (13%)
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 33 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 18RDL's published weights held steady.

Coachmen (Better tier): Coachmen's large-format destination (park-model-style) trailers built for seasonal/semi-permanent placement, with residential appliances, a steel I-beam frame, enclosed corrugated underbelly and a walk-on roof; too heavy/wide for regular highway towing but well-built for its category.

FINDING ONE

Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: Coachmen is a volume manufacturer; only one model year. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.
