Expert Answers about Coachmen Apex Nano Travel Trailer


  • 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...

  • What is Smallest Diameter Hitch Ball Available
  • The Curt Sway Control Hitch ball part # C40093 that you referenced is designed to attach to the side of a standard hitch ball as part of a friction sway control kit like the # 17200. Normally a mount like the part # RP26003 is attached to the ball mount platform so that it can sit next to it. See attached picture. The smallest standard size hitch ball out there is the 1-7/8 inch like the part # 19256.

  • 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...

  • How to Reset Hardwired Brake Controller With No Quick Disconnect

  • 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.

  • 2016 Apex Nano 17x Weight Distribution Recommendation
  • For a loaded weight of 680 to 780 lbs a 1,000 lb tongue weight WD system would ideal and would work great. Ideally you go with a system that has a tongue weight range that your trailer's loaded tongue weight falls right in the middle of. For that the best solution is the Equal-i-zer kit part # EQ37100ET which has a tongue weight range of 600 to 1,000 lbs.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Is There Trailer Axle Over Under Kit that Could Fit 5x8 Utility Trailer
  • If the diameter of your axle was 3 inches the kit part # K71-385-00 would work to allow you to move the springs in relation to the axle. Based on the size of the trailer you'd most likely have a smaller diameter axle like 2-3/8 inch like what the part # K71-384-00 fits. If you have a different diameter axle let me know and I'll see what options you may have.

  • Which Bottle Jack for 2018 Coachmen Apex Nano 193BHS Travel Trailer
  • I have a solution for you, but I don't believe the Powerbuilt # ALL640405 is going to provide the needed length of piston to lift a trailer that's already 22" from the ground; this unit is only capable of lifting up 12" and you won't want to stack up multiple boards under and on the bottle it to make it work. The best available solution would be the Powerbuilt Unijack Bottle Jack with Built-In Jack Stand - 21" Lift - 6,000 lbs # ALL620471, which can extend to 21" tall and has a 6000-lbs...

  • Can Lippert Manual Pull-Out RV Steps Be Added To A 2022 Coachmen Apex Nano Off-Grid 194BHS
  • Since the Coachmen Apex Nano Off-Grid 194BHS is designed with fold-down steps instead of the traditional pull-out steps like you're looking at you would have build a mounting bracket for the steps to mount onto. Outriggers # LC301704 could be used but you need to make a solid connection to the frame otherwise there's a good chance the steps could fall off as you using them. You'll most likely want to contact a local fabricator and have them weld the mounting brackets on to ensure your...

  • 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.
