Opinions on 2016 Coachman Apex 259BHSS?

[SoCalAngler]

Hello all-

So I recently sold the TT in my sig. Reason: not enough use for what I had invested and a little too long for places in SoCal we like to go.

So, with that said, we would like to get a smaller TT and keep the cost at $15K or less.

Was hoping someone on here has this model/year and can comment on its durability, pros/cons, floorplan likes/dislikes, etc.

May look at a used one (original owner and kept/maintained in top notch condition). $18K asking price

I don't need a lite model, (I have Super Duty) but the double size bunks and restroom accessible from outside are items that I like/need. Plus the wife likes items that are kept in XLNT condition.

Our uses:
....7-8 times per year in Southwest (CA, NV, AZ, NM) from 2-7 days at a time), wife and I plus 14yo DS, small dog....and at times our 19yo DS will go when not in school.

Does "lite" mean less thick: walls, cabinetry, floor, roof, frame, etc?

Thanks

Sorry to see you leaving the ranks of Outdoors owners but I get it. Light generally does mean less robust although Lance is said to still be well built. That would be a bigger financial commitment than you are wanting though. Even more expensive than the ORV.

I like the ORV product. The model you have would be nice....just not sure the one U shaped dinette is enough sitting space for the three/four of us....meaning it is the ONLY place to sit when inside.

Yeah, we are thinking of getting a unit with a couch for just that reason. Our dinette is huge and is not the U-shaped one but it is not really comfortable enough for spending lots of time in.
