For me, it&#8217;s all about dropping everything and spending some time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. No bills to worry about. I don&#8217;t have to worry about taking the trash out. I, especially, don&#8217;t have to think about waking up at any certain time. With that being said, I do enjoy a level of comfort when I&#8217;m out on a campsite. I enjoy an RV that&#8217;s built with the same quality of my home. It doesn&#8217;t have to be luxurious and covered in diamonds, for me to enjoy it. I just want as much thought that goes into designing a home, going into my RV. Coachmen took that building philosophy and make the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coachmenrv.com\/products\/chaparrallite.aspx\">Chaparral Lite<\/a> fifth wheel series. I can enjoy all of the comforts of home and pull it with my half ton pickup truck. That&#8217;s a bonus for me!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-296\" alt=\"coachmen chaparral, chaparral fifth wheel\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funtownrv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2014\/04\/liteint.jpg\" width=\"323\" height=\"309\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sleeping In Comfort<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One thing I take very seriously is my sleep. If I&#8217;m not 100% comfortable, I can&#8217;t sleep. Coachmen makes sure to put a queen-sized bed standard in every Chaparral Lite RV. Not an &#8220;almost&#8221; queen, a full-fledged, 60&#8243; x 80&#8243; queen. Not only that, it&#8217;s a Serta, so you know it&#8217;s top-notch. You won&#8217;t find me with my feet hanging off the edge of the bed, that&#8217;s for sure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Easier Maneuvering<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With most fifth wheel RVs, you have to pull it with a full-size, one ton pickup truck. Not the Chaparral Lite series. I can pull it with my half-ton and not feel like I&#8217;m straining my transmission getting it to the campsite. With that in mind, they designed their front cap so I can maneuver it into place without bumping into the cab. No other fifth wheel will let me take a 90 degree turn!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keeping It Cool<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here in Texas, it get&#8217;s awfully hot. I&#8217;m not talking a little warm, I&#8217;m talking &#8220;fry an egg on the sidewalk&#8221; hot. Good thing the Chaparral Lite series comes with a 13,500 BTU, ducted air conditioning unit. After a day out on the lake, I just want to cool down and take it easy. If I&#8217;m still sweating when I come inside, then I&#8217;m not a happy camper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plenty Of Extras<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you feel like spending a little more, you can enjoy some of the awesome featured extras! How does a 40&#8243; TV grab you? What about a free-standing dinette set with 4 chairs? That one sounds like it&#8217;d come in handy when I&#8217;m taking the whole family. My favorite? The La-Z-Boy recliners. I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;m a recliner guy. As soon as I sit in one, I don&#8217;t want to get up. I will do everything in my power to avoid having to get out of my seat.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve always got Coachmen\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.funtownrv.com\/brands\/chaparral-lite-rv.aspx\">Chaparral Lite RVs on the lot<\/a>, so feel free to come by and check them out for yourself.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - http:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_counters\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:2px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_c=new Array(\"twitter\",\"facebook_like\",\"pinterest\");var hupso_counters_lang = \"en_US\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_c=\"\";var hupso_title_c=\"Coachmen Chaparral Lite: Lightweight Comfort\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/counters.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the reasons I enjoy RVing is to get away from home.
