WHAT ONE COSTS
$21,800est. used (2019, 7 yr old)

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK

Tongue weight, loaded~584 lb (10%)
Cargo capacity1,500 lb

UnderbellyEnclosed

Coachmen (Mixed tier): Coachmen's Azdel-walled ultra-lite: vacuum-bonded aluminum-framed sidewalls, fully walkable roof, 200W solar and a tankless water heater standard — better bones than the Catalina/Clipper tier, though Forest River parts supply and dealer service are the recurring owner complaint.

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.

OUR TAKE

One-year-only compact bunkhouse from the Spirit Ultra Lite era; at 6,088lb GVWR the lightest bunk plan the line ever offered.
