2026 Coachmen Apex Nano 216RKS

The 2026 Coachmen Apex Nano 216RKS is a fantastic BAR-V style couples unit, especially if you like to cook and entertain at the campsite. The big standout is the rear kitchen with its unique indoor/outdoor bar top, giving you a great kitchen setup inside while creating a place to sit and enjoy the campsite outside.

At 26 feet long and with an unloaded weight of approximately 4,562 lbs., the 216RKS gives you a spacious couples' trailer while still keeping the weight and overall size manageable. The slide-out opens up the main living area, while the private front bedroom gives you separation from the rest of the trailer.

And this isn't just a great floorplan. The 2026 Apex Nano comes well equipped with features including 400 watts of solar, dual Azdel laminated sidewalls, aluminum-framed construction, a tankless water heater, dual A/C, and a 10 cu. ft. 12V refrigerator.

Rear Kitchen & Indoor/Outdoor Bar

The rear kitchen is what really makes the 216RKS unique. Instead of squeezing the kitchen along one side of the trailer, Coachmen uses the entire rear area to give you plenty of counter space and a functional place to prepare meals.

Our favorite part is the indoor/outdoor bar top. It creates a connection between the kitchen and campsite and gives you a great spot to sit outside with a drink, have breakfast, or hang out while someone is cooking inside.

Spacious Living Area

The slide-out makes the centre of the trailer feel surprisingly open and gives you plenty of room to move around. The bar provides a comfortable place for meals, games, or relaxing inside.

It's a layout that works especially well for couples who want more usable living space without moving into a much larger travel trailer.

Private Front Bedroom

Up front, you get a private bedroom with a walk-around bed, overhead storage, and wardrobes. Having a separate bedroom makes a big difference on longer trips and gives the 216RKS more of a residential feel than many trailers in this size category.

The 216RKS also features dual 8,000-BTU air conditioners, including dedicated cooling for the bedroom.

A Lot of Trailer in a Lightweight Package

The Apex Nano 216RKS is built using Coachmen's Aluma-Cage construction, including aluminum framing and vacuum-bonded laminated walls with dual Azdel composite panels.

At approximately 4,562 lbs. unloaded with a 6,000-lb. GVWR, the 216RKS gives you a spacious rear-kitchen couples' trailer without moving into the size and weight of a much larger coach.

Equipped for More Than Just the Campground

The 216RKS comes with a 400-watt solar system with a 30-amp charge controller, helping give you more flexibility when camping away from full hookups.

You'll also find a heated and enclosed underbelly, 48,000-BTU tankless water heater, inverter prep, power awning with LED lighting, backup-camera prep, and a number of other features designed to make camping easier.

Kitchen & Bathroom

The rear kitchen includes a 10 cu. ft. 12V refrigerator, microwave, two-burner flush-mount cooktop, stainless-steel sink, and seamless-edge countertops.

Another nice advantage of the 216RKS is its 70-gallon gray-water capacity, giving you twice the gray-water capacity of many smaller Nano floorplans.

Why We Like the 216RKS at Ruston RV

For us, the rear kitchen and indoor/outdoor bar are what make the 216RKS stand out. You get a functional kitchen with plenty of space, a unique place to entertain outside, a spacious slide-out living area, and a private front bedroom—all in a trailer that's 26 feet long.

For couples who enjoy cooking, entertaining, and spending as much time outside as they do inside, the Apex Nano 216RKS is a floorplan we think is definitely worth seeing in person.
