THIS RV IS EPIC! Coachmen Catalina 283EPIC Travel Trailer!

This is something you would want to park by a river, lake or looking at the forest. Not sure it would be practical in an RV park though.

Absolutely love love this ❤❤❤❤

Really interesting. I was just commenting this weekend while camping that I wish there were better back patio options for people who don't want/need a toy hauler. I am a bit surprised to see it in what seems to be a bit of a price point unit. Some areas such as the plastic toilet and the countertops feel like concessions to try and keep the MSRP palatable but next to other things like that projector, they feel like cheaping out. I'll give them a 9/10 for creativity, but a 7 for implementation. All in all, love the concept and I hope to see more non toy hauler patios or other concepts to bring the view inside.

Pretty cool. I wonder how all that glass would hold up to the rigors of the road?😮😮

Great until you got to the bath and bedroom. The 💩 er is practically in the bedroom. 😂

Plastic toilet and sink that’s crap

I see this as a good full time starter unit. Lots of good features. Some iffy features. Some challenges to overcome. Gives an owner lots of options to figure out what is important to them and figure out the best way to move forward.

I suggest a full lift door above the bed area to be able to access that cabinet

What's the GVRW

I am not a fan of the f.-loorplan, but LOVE the widows and patio.

Good concept, however floorplan and size needs work.

Love it!

How do I get one?

To many windows. RV windows allow too much heat/cold to pass through them. I’m sure your a/c unit would be running 24/7.

The reviewer is definitely opinionated. I would rather see and hear about the trailer and decide what I like about it. I like the kitchen design. Now let’s build it out of something more sturdy than sticks and tin.

Now make that deck on the back just big enough for a golf cart and they'll have gold...

Great floor plan. The couch gotta go through

I like it, but all i see is heat loss in the wi ter and a struggle to keep cool in the summer.

This is one of the coolest floorplans I've seen in a very long time.

I like the back patio but too much glass on the rear walls. Half that size would have been better. The bathroom is to small.

Would rather have smaller windows behind couch and across. For heat reasons

Believe all that glass makes it a fair weather camper, plus the only time the patio view would be great is if stuck inside for days in rain storm

I don't know how I feel about a glass window behind the couch I don't like it when the couch is in the middle of the room I don't like it unless there's a wall behind the couch I feel exposed in that way imagine sitting there at night by yourself and that camper can you suddenly hear a tap tap tap on one of your glass windows how terrifying would that be

I think the kitchen should have been where the glass window is and I think that the kitchen should be along the way not the length of the camper ever

Love it, great freaking layout! Honestly looks perfect.

I love this.... I plan, in the future to buy it, to live in . However, I would like to move the queen bed to the left wall, I think I can do it or order it that way. :) that would make more space. Everything else is so perfect! I was sold on a cherokee mini loft, but the one level is a contender too!

That back porch would be great for carrying bikes, portable grill, beach cart with beach toys, etc too. Just need an easy way to secure such things while protecting all that glass.

It’s a paper dress. Beautiful, but temporary.

wont hold up

I love the floor plan and patio, wish they did a hidden swing door for the patio when the steps are down, and better components in the bathroom, toilet, shower head, and also wish all microwaves were the micro/air fryer combos

I'd like to see how long those floor to ceiling windows hold up to road debris.

I like this model, but the patio would be much more useful to me if I could have it wide open at the back to load my e-bike/trike and paddleboard to store in front of the couch in the living area.

I like the design, however thermal foil is a no go for me. I realize they are trying to maintain a price point. Also I would think you would want a 6 point leveling system do to the length. Also not a fan of plastic sinks and toilets. Again I get it price point. But I do love the layout.

What is the msrp

I imagine sitting on that couch reading while it’s raining outside. It would be so relaxing.

Sorry but these trailers are cool looking but are cheaply built and will be coming apart about the third camping trip.

Cool that someone is thinking creatively, but the way RV parks have us jammed in like sardines those windows and deck are going to be right next to your neighbor. Those RV ads are not reality, at least not on the east coast. I could see putting this on your own property with a view, though.

Nice view, but almost no storage.

In the right climate that would be great to live in.

Zero convenient prep space for making meals. Doubt this unit could stand rigorous road travel. Maybe if you had a lake plot or permanent spot.

How much is it?

I love this model❤ just needs wash/dryer combo and solar.. also someone suggested window covers for the highway that would be perfect

The deck seems like a waste of space. If you are going to tow something why would you add unnecessary space. I haven't camped in many years but has camping got to the point that people don't even want to touch the ground anymore? The years I did camp I remember the best times being in the woods and sitting around a camp fire at night . Not being inside a camper.

I just saw this model at the RV store here in Florida. I appreciate your walkthrough and you highlighted all the major features. However, I do have a question about the A/C. I made an observation while there and maybe you can help me understand. In the bedroom there is no A/C vent. I really don't understand why this would be in this model. I talked with a sales guy when he drove by me and he said it could be added, but it would be a costly addition. Did I just miss the vents in the bedroom? It was literally the only downside for this size and model of trailer.

P.S. we did a walkthrough today in Florida (Sept. 14). Full sun and the temps were around 85. I would not say it was very hot in the unit at all.

ALL THAT GLASS... DOUBLE PANE???

Do you think Toyota Tundra Platinum can tow this trailer????

I love this. Suits me!

I love U shaped dinettes, our dogs like to lay on the seat next to us.

You can hear the “cheap” in everything you touch on the trailer. It’s no wonder the rv industry is in shambles. Much like the quality of the products…

Its unique but not for me. It would drive me crazy to have all of those windows/aka DOORS that do not open. I wish they made at lease one of them open and a wide fold out stair. I would also prefer more than just 2 chairs to sit in. No one wants to socialize at a dinette. Maybe this in a little larger version would give more user space.
