Coachmen Chaparral 298RLS vs Outdoors RV Glacier Peak F28RKS
The difference that matters
Layout comes first here. The Chaparral 298RLS puts the living room at the back with three slides. The Glacier Peak F28RKS puts the kitchen across the rear, a plan cooks tend to prefer for counter space and the view out the back window.
The Outdoors RV trailer is built for colder and rougher camping. It has a fully enclosed, heated and insulated underbelly with a four-season rating, 6,000 lb axles, 400 W of solar and 8 ft 3 in of interior height. Its fresh tank holds 80 gal against 48 and its black tank 50 against 45, though the Chaparral's gray tank is larger at 90 gal against 80.
That build adds weight. The Glacier Peak is 10,300 lb dry with a 2,495 lb pin and a 12,995 lb GVWR, against the Chaparral's 9,574, 1,935 and 12,000. Both sit at 34 ft 8 in, and each comes with automatic leveling.
