MIDDLEBURY, Ind. (June 24, 2008). — Coachmen RV has redesigned the floorplans of its larger Chaparral fifth wheel trailers with a new mid-profile front end and other user friendly features. The resulting three-quarter ton towable, mid-profile Chaparral is offered in four floorplans and available with a competitive MSRP beginning at $32,510.
Stand-alone furniture is featured throughout, providing a more homelike atmosphere is amplified with raised panel cabinetry, designer window treatments and oil-rubbed bronze hardware. Three fabric decors and two wood options are offered.
Spacious sliderooms make the Chaparral mid-profile living area roomy and comfortable. Adding to the spacious feeling is an optional skylight in the living area and large windows, including windows in each end of the slideouts.
In redesigning the Chaparral mid-profile, Coachmen added two new and innovative floorplans. Each floorplan features three slideouts and purpose-designed layouts. One floorplan is the family-friendly, dual bedroom 299TSB; the other, the 322RLTS, has wide-open living space.
The 299TSB has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The front master bedroom has a queen bed slideout and a large walk-through bathroom. The rear iskids’ bedroom includes a bunk bed slideout and a second bathroom. This bathroom even has an entry door to the outside.
The 322RLTS has an extra-large rear living area and galley that’s expanded by double slideouts. A large entertainment center is built into one slideout, featuring 5.1 surround sound and a DVD player. A stand-alone bathroom provides total privacy, and a side aisle gives easy access to the spacious bedroom.
ONE OF THE MOST NOTICEABLE CHANGES to the Chaparral mid-profile is the all-new fiberglass front cap. The new cap is more aerodynamic to help improve gas mileage and towing performance by reducing wind resistance. Coachmen also engineered notches in the front cap that allow up to a 90-degree turning radius, even with most shorter bed pickup trucks. This makes Chaparral very maneuverable in tight spots at campgrounds and service stations. Coachmen made sure that properly equipped three-quarter ton pickups can tow these fifth wheels. Another easy touch is the addition of the pin-seeker mirror system on the front, making it easier for a driver to back a truck up and engage the hitch.
The Chaparral features spacious pass through storage, up to 45 cubic feet; and a standard, new exterior four-bike bicycle rack that pulls out from under the bumper.
Coachmen’s exclusive Water Works utility panel allows owners to perform key water functions, such as filling, draining and winterizing, with the turn of a single handle. This is much easier than the panels that require switching multiple valves to accomplish the operation. Another distinguishing feature is the black tank flush that makes for easy cleaning of the black water tank after it has been emptied.
