WHAT ONE COSTS

HOW IT'S BUILT — 5/5
WallsAzdel composite
FrameAluminum
RoofWalk-on
UnderbellyEnclosed

Coachmen (Mixed tier): Alumicage aluminum framing with Azdel composite panels on both wall faces, a 5 in crowned walkable roof and a heated enclosed underbelly are above-average for a budget toy hauler, and every plan carries a 98 gal fresh tank and 3,400-4,900 lb of cargo capacity - but it is a Coachmen volume build with the usual ramp-door seal and slide complaints. Note the line is still in production in 2026, not discontinued in 2021.

YEAR BY YEAR — WHAT CHANGED

FINDING ONE

Common — usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Coachmen is a volume manufacturer. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

The 39 ft long-body plan with a separate front bedroom - biggest of the original range and 4,467 lb of payload.
