2020 Coachmen Apex Ultra Lite Travel Trailer reviews

This is great RV. There is really nothing that I can say that is bad about this travel trailer. I Have owned this Rv for just a little over 8 mos. and they only reason we are selling is due to health issues. Show less

Love this camper! Bathroom is large with lots of storage. Big outside kitchen is fabulous. We get compliments and folks asking about our camper all the time. It looks as great on the outside as it does on the inside. We recently were traveling and at almost every gas station we stopped at, someone asked me about it. Show less

Excellent service , good pricing, great service personnel. I would record Buckeye RV to anyone. Sales staff was very trustworthy. Show less

We bought this Rv at the end of 2019. I really wanted the outdoor kitchen and this was the main reason I bought this one. I invited friends and started cooking and it started to rain. The spring activated door lifts up and kinda tilts back. The rain ran down and poured on to the cabinets and the electric skillet we were cooking on. We were also wet. Do you have a solution for this problem?. You can't cook in the elements. Just wondering if anyone else had this problem. Also when the counter top was installed a screw head came through and actually cut my husband's hand. The dealership was notified and they are ordering a new counter. We will let you know when its installed. This is our first brand new Rv. We bought a used one and had it for 3 years and loved camping. Show less

We had owned a Jayco pop-up for 20 years followed by an Apex hybrid for 4 years, so we had many years of experience with some sort of travel trailer. We had good experiences with both, and we liked our Apex hybrid so much that, when we were in the market for a trailer that would have a bit more living and storage space and hardsides to extend the camping season, we looked at Apex again. We purchased a 215RBK, and it has been the perfect trailer for us - almost. We love the floorplan! It makes sense and it has plenty of space for just two of us with a real queen size bed with a mattress that is comfortable and takes regular bedding. The dinette converts to a full size bed when we have guests. Virtually the entire living area slides out with one deep slide, so there is plenty of floor space. The kitchen is convenient to the dinette, and the dinette table creates a large area to prep food. The bathroom is spacious with a glassed in shower, and there is plenty of storage for the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom areas. We love the fact that the entertainment center separates the living area from the bedroom, and the TV swivels so it can be viewed from either area. The dinette has 2 bench seats when the table is in, but when the table is removed, the bench seats have a section that can be added to convert it to a u-shaped couch with plenty of seating. The use of space and the convenience of the layout are great. We love the fact that there is a full kitchen inside and a full kitchen outside with hot and cold water and a sink with a drain. The outside kitchen comes with a grill that slides out. We replaced that with a 3 burner stove and carry the grill, so we have both. The outside shower is convenient to rinse off feet when coming back from the beach. Overall, we are really happy with the trailer, but there have been some things we have not liked. Although the city water connection and all of the waste water drains are on the usual side of the trailer, filling the water tank is done on the other side. That means when we are filling the tank, we have to either pull in the opposite direction from most trailers or use a hose and take it around the trailer. The drain for the fresh water tank is also located behind the dual axle where it is very difficult to reach. The oven heats well, and there is both a starter and a light, however, it isn't as tall as the oven we had in our other Apex hybrid. It works well for baking, but it is not tall enough to use a deep pan for roasting. The bathroom is at the back of the unit behind the slide, and since the slide brings the dinette table and seats all the way to the counter on the other side of the trailer when traveling, there is not enough room to get to the bathroom when the slide is in. The bedroom is in front of the entry door, though, so it is always accessible. Our biggest complaint has been the quality control. Over all the trailer seems well made for the size and the price, and it has a lot of nice features for a trailer that is both light weight and relatively small. There is nothing really wrong with it. We have not experienced major problems like leaks. However, there have been a lot of little "fixes" that have been needed - all but one which were covered under the warrant so far. Every time we get a few little problems fixed, more crop up on our next trip that require us to take the trailer back to the dealership, order parts and then leave it at the dealership for repairs. It sometimes takes a couple weeks to get the parts. That has been disappointing. There have been a few issues that could have easily been solved before the trailer left the factory, and we should not have to be fixing them on a brand new trailer. Show less

I love how updated this is and all of the storage especially in the bathroom. The bleached driftwood color scheme is very nice. The master bedroom is private and the TV spins for bedroom or main room viewing. The outdoor kitchen is awesome with another refrigerator. Show less

Mine is a week old, a 2020 $28,000 Apex 289TBSS. It's literally a week old, we took it last weekend and drove it 80 miles away to spend 2 nights camping in it. At this point I feel that this list has just begun. I'm not at all confident in the build quality and seeing what I've seen behind the curtain... I see that it's built horribly weak and will likely require repairs and reengineering for a long time before the manufacturing deficiencies are eventually corrected. What a sad level of product quality. Drawer hinge on rear diner bench, screws stripped wood, door sags and does not align consistently. Slide out dragging on carpet and flooring. Slide out delivered with 15a fuse (after dealership cut open floor and wired in a completely new circuit due to blowing fuses on the lot during delivery) that melted repeatedly, dealership instructed us to replace 15a fuse with 30a fuse and report back if it still melts. I refused to go to 30a, installed 20a. Has not melted yet, but questionable repair method at best. Heating duct to rear bunkhouse getting no airflow with heat on. Cabinet/wardrobe across from bathroom, internal slide drawer framework collapsed by dropping free from staples. Behind toilet, pex tube coming from wall has wall plate hanging free and laying on pex tube. Awning wiring plastic protective cover fell off and is sitting inside. Show less
