2005 Coachmen Captiva Travel Trailers

...Put Some Adventure In Your Life!

The laminated, aluminum-framed Captiva™ by Coachmen is designed with light truck, mini-van, and sport utility owners in mind. These travel trailers boast a pre-engineered, ultra light weight steel frame that provides a solid foundation for easy towability. An aerodynamic profile, Torflex™ axles with independent suspension, a fully enclosed underbelly, and computer-aided weight distribution contribute to a smoother, more stable tow on bumpy roads or windy days. The Captiva™ is presented as a reliable, value-added, light weight unit backed by Coachmen.

The bedroom in models like the 275DS features a walk-around island queen bed with ample overhead and wardrobe storage. Color-coordinated window treatments and an optional bed spread with pillow shams enhance the residential appeal of the space.

Decor Selections: Dazzling interiors feature skillfully coordinated upholstery and window treatments. Coachmen RV selects top-grade, wear-dated, heavy-duty fabrics tested for durability beyond 15,000 double rubs, simulating heavy usage compared to an average home's 3,000 double rubs per year. Fabric options include Main (A), Accent (B), and Bedspread (C) selections, with sample names like Madison Plum, Morning Glory, and Woodland Birch.

Interior Appointments

The interior of the Captiva 275DS is appointed with pewter hardware, stainless steel look appliances, decor glass in overhead cabinets, designer box valences, ducted roof air conditioning, and a spacious dinette slideout.
