Tongue weight, loaded~1,388 lb (14%)

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.

FINDING ONE

Common: usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Coachmen is a volume manufacturer. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

Two-queen version of the 343 - front and rear master beds instead of a pure bunk room, for multi-generation trips.
