As a lifestyle writer for See Dealer Cost, I feel obliged to engage with many of the meticulous RVs on the marketplace, and the Apex Ultra Lite Travel Trailer 256BHS 2023 by Coachmen has caught my interest this past week. Falling under the category of Ultra lites, the Apex Ultra Lite Travel Trailer stands out, offering a blend of luxury, comfort, durability and modern innovation.
Built with Aluma-Cage Construction and I-beam Chassis Construction, this 2023 model is designed to withstand any path it's driven on. It has an Exterior/Construction laden with a range of features such as the Vacuum-bonded, Aluminum Trussed Roof with Dicor Crossflex Roof Membrane, Vacuum-bonded Azdel Fiberglass Sidewalls and Rear Wall, and Corrosion Resistant Powder Coated Frame. No doubt, Coachmen understands the importance of guaranteeing comfort during every travel experience, hence the use of the Heated and Enclosed Underbelly with Forced Air.
Equally impressive is the Electrical/Heating/AC system that boasts of a 14,500 BTU Ducted A/C, a Furnace–Forced Air/Ducts per floorplan and a 55 Amp Power Center. Comfort is further enhanced on this model with creature comforts such as an 8 Cu. Ft. 12V Refrigerator, Flush-mount 3-Burner Stovetop with Oven, Power LED Lighted Range Hood, and Microwave.
Keeping up with the travel demands of today’s modern traveler, The Apex Ultra Lite Travel Trailer incorporates USB Chargers for your devices and a 100 Watt Solar Panel with 10 APM Control Charger, which are incredibly innovative add-ons.
Inside, you’ll find the Prestige Poplar Cabinetry with Shaker Cabinet Door Frames and Stile and Rail Cabinet Front Construction, boasting a clean and sophisticated look within this Ultra Lite Travel Trailer.The bathroom facilities are as good as they get with a 6-Gal. Gas/Electric DSI Hot Water Heater, Water Heater Bypass Valve and a Foot Flush Toilet to name a few.
While the initial cost of $47009 might seem high, it is worth noting that this travel trailer is a fantastic investment due to the high resale value and longevity of the Coachmen trailers. The Apex Ultra Lite Travel Trailer speaks volumes about craftsmanship and aptitude. Given the wealth of features, the detailed construction and the intention to create a homely feel within the vehicle, I believe this is a trailer that is worth considering.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
