Coachmen Northern Spirit 2965RK
Still in production. A used 2023 would run roughly $32,100.
dry weight 6,578 lb + fresh water (50 gal, full) 417 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb (capped at its own rating). 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 2965RK's published weights held steady.

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.
- 2025Introduced as a dealer special order (DSO) model
Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: Coachmen is a volume manufacturer; only 2 model years; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.
Big rear kitchen and counter space, but only 1,022lb of cargo capacity — the tightest payload margin in the line.
