Coachmen Freedom Express 245RKS
Still in production. A used 2023 would run roughly $30,600.
dry weight 5,980 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 245RKS's published weights held steady.
