2027 Coachmen Apex Nano 186BH
The 2027 Coachmen Apex Nano 186BH is our best-selling single-axle bunk model here at Ruston RV, and it’s easy to see why. Coachmen manages to pack double-over-double bunks, an outdoor kitchen, a full bathroom, and the option for a Murphy bed into a compact, lightweight trailer that’s still easy to tow and maneuver.
At just 22′ 11″ long and with an unloaded weight of approximately 3,854 lbs., the 186BH gives families a lot of trailer without making the jump to a larger tandem-axle RV. The double-over-double bunks give the kids plenty of room, while the available Murphy bed gives you a comfortable bed at night and a sofa during the day.
And this isn’t just a lightweight bunkhouse with the basics. Coachmen has packed the Apex Nano with features that make a real difference when you’re camping, including 400 watts of solar, double Azdel laminated sidewalls, aluminum-framed construction, a tankless water heater, 15,000-BTU A/C, and a 10 cu. ft. 12V refrigerator.

A Family Floorplan That Makes the Most of Its Size
The 186BH makes excellent use of its compact footprint. The double-over-double bunks give the kids their own dedicated sleeping space and provide considerably more room than the narrow single bunks commonly found in smaller trailers.
The booth dinette gives the family a place to sit down for meals, play a game, or relax inside, while the front sleeping area keeps the adults separate from the bunks.
Outdoor Kitchen
The outdoor kitchen is another big reason why we like the 186BH. Being able to prepare food and grab drinks outside is especially convenient when you’re camping with kids and means fewer trips in and out of the trailer.
It’s also a feature you don’t always find on compact single-axle bunk models and helps make the 186BH feel like a much larger family trailer.
A Lot of Trailer in a Lightweight Package
The Apex Nano 186BH is built with Coachmen’s Aluma-Cage construction, including aluminum framing and vacuum-bonded laminated walls with dual Azdel composite panels.
With an approximate 3,854-lb. unloaded weight and a 4,900-lb. GVWR, the 186BH gives families a proper bunkhouse travel trailer without moving into the size and weight of a larger tandem-axle model.
Equipped for More Than Just the Campground
The 186BH comes with a 400-watt solar system, helping give you more flexibility when you’re camping away from full hookups.
You’ll also find a heated and enclosed underbelly, tankless water heater, 15,000-BTU A/C, Starlink prep, backup-camera prep, power awning with LED lighting, inverter prep, dual battery tray, and dual 20-lb. propane tanks.
Kitchen & Bathroom
The kitchen includes a 10 cu. ft. 12V refrigerator, microwave, two-burner flush-mount cooktop, stainless-steel sink, and seamless-edge countertops.
The bathroom includes a foot-flush toilet, shower/tub surround, skylight, power vent, and black-tank flush.
Why We Like the 186BH at Ruston RV
There’s a reason the 186BH is our best-selling single-axle bunk model. You get double-over-double bunks, an outdoor kitchen, a full bathroom, a functional kitchen, and the available Murphy bed—all in a trailer that’s under 23 feet long.
For young families buying their first RV, campers looking to stay lightweight, or anyone who wants a bunkhouse without towing a huge trailer, the 186BH is a floorplan we think is worth seeing in person.
