Expert Answers about Coachmen Apex Nano Travel Trailer


  • Karrier 205/75R15 Trailer Tire With 15"x6" White Spoke Wheel
  • The Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" White Spoke Wheel # AM32395 has a 5" wide wheel. We do have the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20522 that is 15"x6" and has the same 5 on 4-1/2" lug pattern. While we do not offer this as a package you can have the Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10244 installed with a Valve Stem # AM20903. This will need to be done at a local tire shop or you can mount the tire on the wheel if you have the necessary tools.

  • Can 14 Wheels and Tires Be Upgraded to 15 Wheels and Tires on 2015 Coachmen RV Apex 187RB
  • You can add 15" wheels and tires to your 2015 Coachmen Apex 187RB as long as you have enough clearance. Typically you want a minimum of 3" of clearance on the top of the tire for normal suspension travel and 2" on the inside of the tire. Adding a 15" tire will mean losing some of that clearance on your trailer. Using a 205/75-15 tire will result in the smallest difference in size when switching. A good choice would be the Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10244. This tire has...

  • Damper Recommendation for Ventline S0721 Series RV Range Hood on 2017 Coachmen Apex Nano
  • Since your wall thickness is 1-3/8 inches the damper you'll want is the deeper part # V2111-13 which is 1-3/4 inches. This will allow you to trim it back as needed so that it fits properly with the Ventline S0721 Series RV Range Hood # S0721-20BD-F-1.

  • Recommended RV Storage Cover For A 2021 Coachmen Apex Nano 185BH Travel Trailer
  • The length I'm seeing for a 2021 Coachmen Apex Nano 185BH is approximately 20.58' so you'll want the Adco Olefin HD All-Climate + Wind RV Cover for Travel Trailer # AD47ZR. The Olefin HD travel trailer cover works best for long-term storage in all climates. The top panel constructed of Olefin HD fabric blocks harmful UV rays that can cause cracking and fading, beads water on contact, prevents dirt and dust particles from reaching trailer surface, and eliminates black streaks and corrosion...

  • Why Does Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit for Single Axle Trailers Only Come with 4 Bushings
  • Great question, Brian! The bushings that fit on the bolts for the shackle straps tend to wear out a bit faster than the ones that connect your leaf spring directly to a hanger which is why there are only 4 bushings in the Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit for Single Axle Trailers # K71-358-00. If you wanted to get 2 additional of the bushings that come in this kit then the part # D014-077-00 is the exact same bushing so you just need to order 2 of them as well.

  • Recommended Replacement RV LED Dome Light With Switch
  • Depending on the type of light you have whether incandescent or LED you could have a variety of reasons for why your current light isn't working correctly. Incandescent bulbs have a typical lifespan of 750 - 2,000 hours while LED's have a typical lifespan of 50,000 hours. Voltage drops typically are the cause of flicker so if you have other appliances or items running on the same circuit they could be causing the flicker. Loose connections could also be the cause, which would either be...

  • Are My Load Range D Tires Rated Sufficiently For My 2019 Coachmen Apex Nano
  • It looks like your 2019 Coachmen Apex Nano has a GVWR of 3800-lbs. When it comes to the tires that you've got, which are 205/75R14-Load Range D like the Kenda Karrier # AM10235, those are going to have a capacity of 2200-lbs each, for a total of 4400-lbs. As long as you're not overloading your trailer, you really don't need to be concerned with them being insufficient. According to your spec sticker, this trailer is only designed to carry an additional 800-lbs or so of cargo, so I would...

  • How to Reset Hardwired Brake Controller With No Quick Disconnect
  • You certainly can, but you'll need to interrupt the power supply to the brake controller for a minute or two, then reconnect it. The easiest and safest way would be to pull the fuse on that circuit or remove the positive battery cable for a minute or two.

  • Replacement Hardware Kit Recommendation for Reese Strait Line Weight Distribution System # 66083
  • Reese has updated their weight distribution systems a few times over the years. It is odd that the socket size changed but for the Strait Line system part # RP66083 the correct hardware kit you'd need is the # 58133.

  • Replacement Pull Out RV Steps For A 2018 Coachmen Apex Nano 193BHS Trailer Trailer
  • The Lippert part number 173552 you referenced comes back to the Lippert Manual Pull-Out Step for RVs # LC432682. Because there is a bit of cross over with these item numbers it's best to take a quick measurement of what you currently have to ensure nothing was lost in translation. These steps have the following dimensions depicted below. If you find the measurements differ from what your 2018 Coachmen Apex Nano 193BHS Trailer Trailer has then please let me know what those measurements...

  • Should ST205/75R14 Tires On 2019 Nano TT Be Aired Up To The Max Air PSI Stamped On Sidewall?
  • Since the tires you have on your 2019 Nano Travel trailer are similar to the Westlate ST205/75R14 # 274-000012 that get aired up to a max 65 PSI, you will want to air them up to that max. Trailer tires have a thicker sidewall as they are designed for the tire to always be aired up to the max pressure. Not airing them up all the way causes excess heat to build up in the tire which can lead to decreased tire life and other issues such as blow outs. I included a video of the # 274-000012...

  • Width of Leaf Spring that Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-652-00 Fits
  • The Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-652-00 is designed for 1-3/4 inch wide leaf springs which is the most common size. A 1/2 inch difference in height from this to what you have currently would not matter.

  • Can Fan-Tastic Vent Ultra Breeze Trailer Roof Vent Cover # FVU1500WH be Used in Rain
  • The Fan-Tastic Vent Ultra Breeze Trailer Roof Vent Cover # FVU1500WH that you referenced can be used in rain. I'd interpret what they say as "inclement weather" as a nasty thunderstorm or heavy snow. That said, if hail or heavy snow caused damage the warranty would not cover it.

  • Recommended Reversible MaxxFan Mini Roof Vent
  • That is correct. The MaxxAir MaxxFan Mini Roof Vent item # MA00-04401M is not reversible, it only moves air one way which is out. For a reversible fan you will want the MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent item # MA00-04500K. It has a ten speed fan motor, powered lift, thermostat, rain sensor, remote, and most importantly is reversible. I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.

  • Replacement Hub And Drums For A 2019 Apex Nano 187rb
  • The CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly # CE13511 will work with your 2019 Apex Nano but not with electric brakes. You will need the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-G-K. This kit will let you keep the use of your electric brakes. This kit has an Inner Bearing # L68149 and an Outer Bearing # L44649. This hub and drum assembly also has a galvanized finish that offers excellent corrosion resistance. If you need new brakes I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting...

  • What is The Maximum Temperature Recommended For the Castle Rock ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire?
  • Most TPMS sensors like the TST TPMS for RVs # TST-507-RV-4-C will come with the tire temperature warning set for 158 degrees Fahrenheit. This is typically a good point for the alarm to be set in most climates on the Castle Rock ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # 274-000029. Do note in much colder climates the temperature may never come close to this temperature unless it is near failure or the tires are misaligned on your trailer. Once a tire begins to climb over this temperature there is...

  • Picking Out Replacement Roof Vent Lid for 2018 Coachmen Apex Nano 15X Hybrid
  • It's very likely the part # BVD0449-A01 is the correct replacement lid for the vent on your 2018 Coachmen Apex Nano 15X Hybrid since this is a very common type of roof vent but you'd need to check out the picture I attached to match the shape of the lid and it's hinge design to what you have to know for certain. I also attached an install video with more info. If you have something different send me a picture of it and I'll be able to tell what it is and pick out what you'd need.

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for Trailer that Weighs 4,000 lbs
  • All of the components you mentioned will do a great job for a towing setup for your 2017 Ford Flex and they are all linked below for you to check out but to answer your main question about weight distribution the way to do it is to base off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup. So since your trailer would be 4,000 lb you'd most likely have a tongue weight around 400 to 500 lbs so the system I would recommend is the Strait Line part # RP66082 which has a tongue weight range between...
