Coachmen Chaparral 345BHS
Sticker was $53,394 in 2014. Out of production since 2014, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2014 unit.
dry weight 10,460 lb + fresh water (60 gal, full) 500 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 345BHS's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

Coachmen (Mixed tier): Coachmen's mid-price fifth wheel, built on a 6X double-Azdel aluminium-cage vacuum-bonded sidewall (R-15+) with a genuine full walk-on roof deck. Dual 13,500 BTU ducted A/C and 200W of solar are standard on current units; QC is typical Forest River volume-plant fare.

Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: Coachmen is a volume manufacturer; 12 years out of production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.
Early nine-berth bunkhouse with a 60gal fresh tank — bigger fresh capacity than anything Coachmen builds in the line today.
