Why the Apex?

When we decided we were going to go back to RV'ing we took a look at when we wanted in a camper. The first priority was weight. Our tow vehicle could tow 6100 lbs and had a hitch weight rating of 610 lbs. We also had to look at the fact that it was a 1/2 ton PU so it's payload was a little over 1200 lbs. So to be able to actually tow with in the guidelines, and be able to put supplies in it,  we needed a trailer that came in below these numbers. The Apex Ultra Lite did that. It uses Azdel Fiberglass walls and Aluma cage construction. Our 215RBK comes in at under 4400 lbs.

After that we had certain things that the layout had to have. First and most important it needed a walk around queen bed. We are well beyond the age of crawling over someone else to get in and out of bed. That was fine 20 years ago when we had our Class C but not today. 

Next on the list we wanted a dinette and not the chairs that many couples campers have. One of our priorities was to be able to have our adult kids and their kids camp with us. To do that we needed to have place for them to sit and also the extra bed for them. The Apex had a U shaped dinette which was even better giving us more space to sit. 

A coupe other things that would not have been deal breakers had they not been there were the 3 burner stove, oven, large refrigerator and slide out for the dinette. Another great item was the sun roof in the shower allowing my 6 foot 2 inch body to stand upright. 

So there you have it. It hit on everything we needed and a lot we could have done without. Win Win.
