Coachmen Catalina 273DBHCK
Still in production. A used 2023 would run roughly $24,000.
dry weight 7,348 lb + fresh water (38 gal, full) 317 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 273DBHCK's published weights held steady.

Coachmen (Mixed tier): Coachmen's volume family trailer, sold mainly as the Legacy Edition top trim alongside budget Summit trims - aluminum-framed but metal-sided rather than laminated, a clear step above the cheapest stick-and-tin, still a volume build with the usual seal and water-intrusion complaints.
- 2024Introduced
Common: usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Coachmen is a volume manufacturer; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.
Dual-entry double-bunk family plan with a fireplace - the current-generation replacement for the older 263BHSCK layout. No published MSRP sourced; year of introduction inferred from dealer listings.
