You’ll see upgrades shoppers actually ask about: JBL audio, GE appliances, heat-pump A/C, and GE 60K BTU on-demand water heaters on many Catalina trims. Translation: better sound, faster hot water, and cozier temps without burning through propane. There’s also universal solar prep and an available Peak Performance Solar Package for off-grid camping. Optional equipment and accessories, such as these feature upgrades, may impact the weight of the unit and should be considered when selecting upgrades.

Think “starter trailer that doesn’t feel starter.” Example: 154RDX is around ~3,100 lbs UVW with a real bath and a generous fresh-water tank for the size. Common highlights include JBL audio, a GE 12V fridge, a tankless water heater, and solar prep.
Best for: first-time buyers, weekenders, lighter SUVs.

A little bigger, still budget-friendly. Floorplans like 261BHS (bunks + slide) bring roomy living, panoramic slide window vibes, optional heated/enclosed underbelly, and the same JBL/GE gear. Specs on the 261BHS: UVW ~6,098 lbs, length ~30'5".
Best for: families who want space without going heavy-heavy.

Legacy keeps Catalina’s greatest hits and adds niceties like camp kitchens and upgraded interiors. Fan-favorite 263BHSCK gives you double-over-double bunks, a U-dinette, and an outside kitchen—quintessential family rig. The 343BHTS is a bunkhouse boss with a legit bunk room + master suite storage.
Best for: families who want more storage, more seating, more everything.

Bring the toys and the crew. Popular floorplans include 26TH, 27THS, 28THS, 29THS, with reinforced wheel wells, available HappiJac bed lift, and available solar. For example, 26TH posts a UVW around ~5,486 lbs with an ~11'6" garage; 27THS/28THS step up cargo height and living space.
Best for: motocross weekends, biking trips, hauling gear without a second trailer.

These are your “cabin without a foundation.” Big glass patio doors, home-style kitchens, multiple A/Cs with heat pumps, and washer/dryer availability. 39MKTS stretches about ~42'11" with a residential feel out of the box.
Best for: seasonal sites, lakeside living, long stays.

• Summit 7 154RDX: ~19’6” long, ~3,015 lbs UVW. Tiny footprint, real features.
• Summit 8 261BHS: ~30’5”, bunks + slide, family MVP.
• Legacy 263BHSCK: the classic bunkhouse with an outside kitchen.
• Legacy 343BHTS: huge bunk room + master storage; “bring all the kids’ stuff.”
• Trail Blazer 26TH: lighter toy hauler with ~11’6” garage.
• Destination 39MKTS: residential layout, patio door, big tanks.

Before diving into towing basics, it's important to review specifications definitions for key terms like UVW (Unloaded Vehicle Weight), GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating), and other weight ratings. Understanding these specifications definitions helps you interpret the weight of the unit, its load limits, and ensures safe towing practices.

• UVW (dry weight) = trailer empty.
• GVWR = max allowed weight when loaded.
• Your tow rating should comfortably exceed expected trip weight (UVW + people + gear + water). Example: Summit 8 261BHS has UVW ~6,098 lbs and GVWR ~7,598 lbs; make sure your SUV/truck is rated above that with a safety cushion. For super-light duty vehicles, 154RDX (~3,015 lbs UVW) keeps stress low.

The Catalina Destination Series doesn’t just look good at the campsite—it’s built to keep you comfortable and safe, no matter where you roam. The exterior image of these travel trailers is both modern and rugged, designed to turn heads while standing up to the elements. Features like a heated underbelly help protect your plumbing and tanks in colder weather, so you can extend your camping season with confidence.

Entertainment and convenience are front and center, thanks to exterior speakers for your favorite tunes and a camp kitchen that makes outdoor cooking a breeze. The 50 amp service ensures you have plenty of power for all your devices and appliances, while the 13,500 BTU heat pump keeps the living room comfortable year-round. After a day of adventure, the hot/cold outside shower is perfect for rinsing off before heading inside.

Safety features are woven throughout the design, from solid surface countertops that resist wear and tear to the available washer/dryer combo that adds a touch of residential convenience. Whether you’re relaxing under the awning or prepping dinner outside, the Catalina Destination Series delivers the features and peace of mind that make every trip memorable.

• JBL Aura Cube audio + speakers for better sound.
• GE 12V fridges & cooktops (modern, efficient).
• GE heat-pump A/C (heats + cools electrically).
• GE 60K BTU tankless water heater (endless hot showers, within reason).
• Universal solar prep + optional solar package for boondocking.
• Enclosed/heated underbelly available on many family models for shoulder-season camping.

Behind every great travel trailer are the specs that make it work for real-world adventures, and the Coachmen Catalina Destination Series delivers where it counts. With a maximum permissible weight of 13,500 pounds and an unloaded vehicle weight of 10,000 pounds, these travel trailers are engineered for stability and strength. The generous cargo carrying capacity of 3,500 pounds means you can bring along all your favorite accessories, gear, and supplies without worry.

Inside, you’ll find a residential style that feels like home, complete with solid surface countertops, bunk beds for extra sleeping space, and a washer/dryer combo for extended stays. The 15,000 BTU auto-ignition furnace with wall thermostat ensures you stay warm on chilly nights, while the 60k BTU tankless water heater provides endless hot water for showers and dishes. With 50 amp service and a heated underbelly, the Catalina is ready for any climate or season.
