So what’s available in the world of Coleman travel trailers for 2020? A ton.

Let us break it down for you by brand and model, going from the single axle conventional models all the way up to the dual axle laminates letting you know what floorplan, how many outdoor enthusiasts you’ll be able to sleep, and the dry (unloaded) weight of each.

A quick note about dry (unloaded) weight. This number is an aggregate from the manufacturer of what each RV weighs before it is shipped to an RV dealer. The weight of each will vary a bit, but each will have their own specific sticker to let you know their exact weight. OK, on to the Colemans!

Coleman Lantern LT

The Lantern LT line is conventional, lightweight (hence the ‘LT’), and is perfect for active campers who love to get out and go. Some features they all share include power awning with LED patio light, easy access USB outlets, and residential grade vinyl flooring. In order by size (with the first 4 being single axle), we have:

There are many amazing states out west, and one of them is New Mexico. This state is home to many national monuments and national parks and nature preserves, but it’s also home to some of the most breathtaking state parks in the whole country.

If you’re an RVer, then you have to spend at least a little time in this state. I suggest doing so in the fall or winter months, as the summers can be quite brutal. When you visit, make sure to hit at least one of these amazing state parks.

Elephant Butte Lake State Park

Elephant Butte Lake State Park is a fantastic place for camping, hiking, boating, fishing and more. The location is home to a large reservoir, miles of hiking trails, plenty of wildlife and many campsites to stay at. It’s a perfect place for an RVer to take a lakeside vacation.

Boating is popular and so is fishing. You can even take a guided fishing tour if you would like. This is a surefire way to catch some big fish. There are over 173 developed campsites at the campground in the park. This makes it a popular place to go, so you’ll want to try to make

Cerrillos Hills State Park

Cerrillos Hills State Park is another beautiful and unique place to take your RV for a camping trip. This state park is a day-use park that offers wonderful hiking, birdwatching, and horseback riding opportunities. It’s not as large as some other parks out there, but it’s a fantastic place to spend a day.

You can’t camp in the park, but there are campsites nearby. You can check out any number of campgrounds that are in or outside of the city of Santa Fe. The Santa Fe Skies RV Park is one of the closest.

City of Rocks State Park

As you might expect, the City of Rocks State Park is an area of land dominated by interesting rocky masses. These volcanic rock formations cover about one square mile of space. Some of the rock formations reach as high as 40 feet tall.

The park is an excellent place for hiking and taking photographs. Camping is allowed in the park, but campsites are limited, so think about calling ahead to make a reservation. There are also a few campsites that cannot be reserved so if you just show up you might get lucky. However, I recommend having a backup plan. There are other campgrounds nearby and if all else fails, you can go to Temperate Zone RV Park outside of the town of Deming.

Camping is a great activity that you can enjoy for a couple of days or for weeks or even months on end. While I know several people who spend long periods of time in their RV camping at various campgrounds around the country, I also know plenty of others who only camp on the weekend.

Those of us who love motorhomes generally don’t look at affordability on the basis of what’s the final agreed-upon price—even though we all wait for a big sale because why not, right?

That being said, with good credit and a solid down payment you can buy a lot for not-so-much in terms of monthly payment. Let’s take a look at all three of the surprisingly affordable Newmar Class A gas motorhomes.

Newmar Bay Star Sport

The ‘baby’ of the Newmar Class A family, the Bay Star Sport comes in eight different floorplans in lengths from 28 feet up to 34 feet. All of them have their queen bed on a slide to create nice walk-around space, and each has multiple slides to open up the living area.

One of the floorplans, the Bay Star Sport 3315, is a bunkhouse model and can comfortably sleep up to six tired campers.

As far as camp-cozy aspects, it’s hard to resist features such as Samsung LED TVs with a DVD player, polished solid surface countertops, and a large shower with skylight. Optional features include a king bed and a refrigerator with an ice maker.

Newmar Bay Star

 

Longer and more in-depth than the Bay Star Sport, the Bay Star comes in eleven different floorplans ranging from 30 feet all the way up to 36 feet. Most are front living models with the exception of the Bay Star 3609 with its rear bath and a half bath adjoining the living area, and the Bay Star 3616 which has the same rear bath and half bath but adds a set of stacked twin bunks. Most of them have a king bed standard, and a few of them come equipped with room for a stacked washer-dryer combo.

Luxurious touches in the kitchen include glazed maple mitered cabinet doors with concealed hinges, polished solid surface kitchen countertop with stainless steel sink, 30-inch stainless steel microwave, and pull-out pantry shelves. Other nice assets include leather sofa and front seats, plush pillow top mattress, a pair of Samsung LED TVs each with a Blu-Ray player, and large residential showers with skylights.

Options include an ice maker in the standard 10 cubic foot fridge (or a larger Norcold or Whirlpool fridge with or without ice maker), living area fireplace, and Bose sound system.

Newmar Canyon Star

The big daddy of the Newmar gas engine line, the Canyon Star takes luxurious motorhome living to another level. Purely in size, the Canyon Star’s nine floorplans are large class A gas motorhomes. They range in length from 35 feet up to 39 feet. A pair of them are very unique: the Canyon Star 3927 is a toy hauler with an enclosed garage space of 10 feet, and the Canyon Star 3929 has a private bunkroom in the rear with its own half bath.

As far as luxurious appointments, you’ll find every Canyon Star loaded with items such as custom-made wall sconces, luxury vinyl tile flooring, polished surface countertops in kitchen and bathroom areas, and Samsung LED TVs with Sony Blu-Ray player and Bose soundbar.

The Canyon Star cockpit has six-way power captain’s chairs plus a Sony audio system with JBL speakers. The Canyon Star kitchen includes glazed maple mitered cabinet doors with concealed hinges, under-mounted stainless steel sink, 30-inch stainless steel microwave, and pull-out pantry shelves.

Canyon Star options include a drop-down bunk bed, power theatre seating, central vacuum system, stacked washer and dryer, a residential-style dishwasher, and a fireplace.

So that’s it for the gas-engine line of Newmar motorhomes. One more thing though that may make a Newmar Class A gas motorhome even more affordable: with any motorized RV – be it class A, A-Diesel, B or C – the interest on your payment could be tax-deductible. It’s highly recommended you consult your tax professional for further information.

You spend about a third of your life sleeping, so you might as well enjoy it. While there are all sorts of beds designed for regular homes, you’ll find RV beds can be very comfortable, too. If you have a bed in your RV that’s not wildly comfortable, then you should consider upgrading.

New Mattress

How old is the mattress in your RV? You don’t know? How old is your RV? If your RV is more than eight years old, there’s a good chance your mattress is, too. If you know for sure it is not, then do your best to find out how old it is. The rule of thumb for mattresses is that you should get a new one every seven to 10 years. If you’re mattress is older than that, it’s time to upgrade.

Even if your mattress isn’t that old, you can still upgrade to a new one. Having the right mattress in your RV can make a world of difference. Everyone has different preferences when it comes to mattresses, and you need to find one that works for you. Don’t settle for what’s already in your RV.

Mattress Topper

Like your mattress but don’t love it? You can add a topper to it so that it feels a little bit more comfortable. A topper is a simple addition to your RV’s bed and a lot cheaper than getting a whole new mattress.

I love having a topper on a bed. It can literally transform a reasonably comfortable bed into a seriously comfortable place to lay your head at night. I highly recommend them, and Camping World offers plenty to choose from.

High Thread Count Sheets

The sheets you sleep on are an important part of staying comfortable too. Low thread count sheets will be less comfortable, and some feel downright scratchy. A set or two of higher-quality sheets will not only be more comfortable but likely last longer, and that means that you’ll be able to enjoy your comfy sheets for years to come.

You should also think about the actual material of the sheets. I have a set of soft flannel sheets for the colder months. They do wonders to make the bed more comfortable. Sometimes I have trouble getting out of bed in the morning to make coffee and start my day!

Thick Comforter

This one is really only important if you plan on camping when it’s not hot out. During the hot months, a thick comforter isn’t going to do you any good, but in the fall and winter it can make all the difference.

There’s nothing better than settling into your bed with a thick comforter and a cup of hot cocoa on a brisk fall or winter night. Camping World has all sorts of comforters on sale, and you can find the right one for your rig. The comforter can also add a favorable visual element to your bedroom if you pick the right pattern or design.

Pillows and More Pillows

Many beds in RVs are positioned up against a wall. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve rolled over in the night and bonked my head on the wall. What’s a good way to keep that from happening? Extra pillows.

Even if your bed is situated in the middle of the room, some extra pillows can do wonders to make you more comfortable. I often watch TV or write in bed, and some extra pillows to prop me up help make me feel comfortable. Don’t go overboard with the pillows, but find the right number for you. Everyone is different.

Every RVer needs to have a plan in the event of a flat tire or a blowout. Often this means a spare tire that you can put on your RV when it’s needed. But is your RV’s spare ready for action? When was the last time you looked at it? Do you have a spare tire cover for it?

If the answer to these questions is a mystery to you, then you need to take some time to check on your RV’s spare. Make sure it’s in good condition, properly inflated, and covered with a spare tire cover. A cover may seem like a small or unneeded thing, but it’s actually quite important. Here’s why.

Tire Covers Protect from Harmful UV Rays

We all know that the sun’s UV rays can be harmful to our skin, but those same rays can wreak havoc on the condition of your spare tire (or really any of your tires) over long periods of time. Tire compositions can dry out. This happens most often when tires are exposed to prolonged sunlight.

A dried out, cracked, or dry rotted spare tire isn’t going to be very useful. It may get you where you need to go, but it may fail you before you get there. Putting a tire cover on your spare will help ensure it doesn’t get damaged too much by UV rays.

Tire Covers Protect from Road Debris

Even if you’re not worried about UV rays, it’s smart to put a tire cover on your spare. Why? Road debris. When you’re out driving around, there’s a lot of dirt, grime, and other debris flying around.

It’s very unlikely that any of this stuff will do immediate damage to your tire, but prolonged exposure to these conditions can have a negative impact on the condition of your spare. A cover will hide your spare from all this nastiness and give you a clean and ready-to-go tire when you need it most.

Tire Covers Protect from Weather

Tires are pretty resilient, but a lot of inclement weather over time can have a negative impact on the condition of the tire. A spare tire cover will protect your RV’s spare from many of the negative effects of rough weather.

Rain, sleet, snow, hail, debris kicked up by the wind and more can, over time, cause damage. Get a tire cover and you have some protection.
