We’re really happy with our Coachmen Apex 215RBK but there are a few design flaws. Early this summer we discovered one of the biggest.
Almost no cold air from the AC gets past the entertainment center into the bedroom!!! This made for a very hot night until my wife figured out if we rotated the TV 90 degrees so it sat between our feet then the air could get through. This was a genius work around.
I’m not particularly paranoid by nature, but the internet can sure make you that way. After reading enough posts about propane tanks being stolen, I decided to do a simple mod to secure the tanks on my 216RBK. I drilled a hole through the giant wing-nut and a matching pair through the security bar that…
One of the great things about the Coachmen Apex 215RBK is the crazy amount of storage. The bathroom cabinets are huge and the cabinet over the sink is really big too.

Here”s a Graphical Guide To The Enhancements We Made Just rollover the arrows to see the descriptions. We mounted an Amazon Alexa Dot to the sidewall to replace the tinny outdoor speakers. We added a baby-proofing latch to the fridge. We moved the small inside fire extinguisher to the outside kitchen. We replaced the Coleman…
There were several surprising things about the outdoor kitchen. There are 4 large holes in the back of the kitchen and a few small ones that are superhighways for critters. On nice days we tend to leave the door open so this had to be fixed. Coleman generally makes good products but the included grill…
Enhancements we made to the outdoor kitchen.
Not sure if it’s safe to put a screw in the wall? Me either. However, I was able to grab some photos with dimensions when i was fixing the outdoor outlet. You’ll note that I wasn’t being careful so one of the photos is in inches and the rest are in millimeters. I’ll convert both…
