What the host says about it
This travel trailer is the perfect unit for a large family or group. The private bunkhouse features two 30" x 74" bunks, plus a small couch with a flip-up bunk above, allowing four kids to sleep here. The tri-fold sofa and the dinette within the large slide will provide sleeping space for your guests and mom and dad will appreciate the front private bedroom with a queen bed. Prepare all your meals with the three burner range or use the convenient stainless steel microwave and the full bath allows you to get ready for each day just like you do at home. This model also features an outdoor camp kitchen, a power awning with LED lights, and an exterior pass-through storage for all your larger camp gear! Each Apex Ultra-Lite travel trailer and toy hauler by Coachmen is easily towable, yet packed with comfortable features to make your camping experience great. These units feature LED lighting throughout, an interior convenience center, and a stainless steel microwave to make it feel more like home. You'll love the LED motion light in the exterior storage area and the hot/cold outside shower allows you to wash off your hiking boots and easily fill the dog's water bowl. Each model also includes an LED TV, an AM/FM/CD/DVD stereo with Bluetooth, and a USB charging station so you can still enjoy some entertainment and stay connected!
Where it can go in the Keys
Two questions decide it. Can the host get it to your key, and will your campground take it? Reach uses the host’s own range against a straight line from where it is kept. Outdoorsy does not say whether that range means road miles, and US-1 runs longer than the straight line.
Key Largo
In range36 miles in a straight line from where it is kept, inside the host's 100 mile range.
Marathon
In range75 miles in a straight line from where it is kept, inside the host's 100 mile range.
Key West
Out of range113 miles in a straight line from where it is kept, past the host's 100 mile range.
The host lists it at 32.4 ft. Here is that figure against what each campground publishes.
- OverBahia Honda, Sandspur loop: 23 ft hitch to bumper
Outdoorsy does not say whether a towable's listed length includes the hitch. Ask the host for hitch to bumper before you book this loop.
- ClearsPennekamp: most sites 40 ft
The park says a few sites take a little more, and the reservation system shows "Max trailer length 62". The site you are given is what has to fit.
- ClearsLeo's Campground, Key West: 42 ft
Leo's counts bumpers and any bike or motorcycle rack. Ask the host whether the listed length includes them.
- Clears
Boyd's, Stock Island: 45 ft in select sites
Only some sites take the longest rigs. Give Boyd's the length when you book the site.
- Over
Parking on a Key West street: 20 ft
City code keeps longer RVs off every street, occupied or not. It is a parking rule, so a longer RV stays at the campground while you go into town.
The terms hosts set
- The host picks the cancellation policy. Of the 81 listings that can reach the Keys, 29 use strict, 16 moderate, 20 flexible and 16 write their own.
- Security deposits run from $500 to $3,000, with $1,000 in the middle.
- 50 of the 81 require a renter of 25 or older. 31 accept 21.
- 19.8% take an instant booking. The rest are requests the host has to accept.
- Florida charges 6% on the rental itself, and a Monroe County campsite adds 12.5% on the site.
Questions about the 2020 Coachmen Apex 289 TBSS
Up to 11. That counts every berth. Jolly Roger, Grassy Key and Boyd's each allow one RV and one vehicle per site, so plan the car as well as the beds.
The host lists $149 a night. Florida adds 6% sales tax on the rental, and the host's cleaning, mileage and delivery fees sit on the listing. The campsite is separate: Monroe County campgrounds add 12.5% tax, and a state park adds a $7 nightly utility fee and a $6.70 reservation fee. Whether Florida's daily rental car surcharge applies to an RV is not stated in the statute; the Florida Department of Revenue can confirm.
The host publishes a 100 mile range. In a straight line from where the host keeps it, that reaches as far as Marathon. Outdoorsy does not say whether the range is road miles, and US-1 is longer than a straight line, so confirm your campsite with the host. 37 of the 81 listings that reach the Keys publish a per-mile fee, with a median of $4 a mile; the rest quote it on the listing.
It's a towable, so it needs a vehicle with a hitch rated for it. Without one, the host's delivery is how it gets to the site. Ask whether the host sets it up and levels it when they drop it off.
The host picks it from Outdoorsy's tiers, and it shows on the listing before you pay. Across the 81 listings that can reach the Keys, 29 are strict, 16 moderate, 20 flexible and 16 custom. Read a custom one closely. If a hurricane evacuation is ordered, Monroe County sends visitors and RVs out first, so ask the host how they handle that before you book.
It's the host's call. 61 of the 81 listings that reach the Keys are marked pet friendly. The campground has its own rule too: Leo's in Key West bans several breeds, and Grassy Key allows two pets at most.
