Coachmen Catalina Summit Series 7 Trailers for Sale in Barrie

Why Buy a Summit Series 7 from Bella Vista RV?

1. Tow With What You Own

This is the number one reason our customers choose the Series 7. With dry weights often starting under 3,500 lbs, these trailers are well within the towing capacity of vehicles like the Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Honda Pilot. You can keep your daily driver and still enjoy the RV lifestyle.

2. Visibility & Confidence

The 7-foot width doesn't just save weight; it improves safety. Because the trailer is narrower than a standard 8-foot wide unit, you can often see down the sides of the trailer using your vehicle's standard mirrors. This makes changing lanes on Highway 400 and navigating narrow gas stations much less stressful for new drivers.

3. Big Features, Small Footprint

Don't let the size fool you. Bella Vista RV orders these units equipped with the features you need. Expect power awnings with LED lights, 13,500 BTU air conditioners, and the JBL Premium Audio system. It’s a compact camper, not a compromised one.

Shop by Smart Floorplan Features

The Series 7 uses clever engineering to maximize interior space.

• Murphy Beds: Many floorplans (like the 184FQS) utilize a Murphy Bed system. During the day, you have a comfortable sofa for lounging. At night, the queen bed folds down over it. This gives you the living space of a 25-foot trailer in an 18-foot package.

• Double Bunks: Models like the 184BHS feature stacked double bunks in the rear, allowing a family of four (plus the dog) to sleep comfortably without setting up a tent.

• Full Dry Baths: Unlike some ultra-lights that use "wet baths" (shower/toilet combined), most Series 7 models feature a dedicated shower and separate toilet, providing the privacy and comfort of home.

Towing Specs: The Weekend Warrior's Choice

• Single Axle Agility: Most Series 7 models ride on a single axle, making them incredibly nimble. You can back them into tight provincial park campsites that larger trailers simply cannot fit into.

• Aerodynamics: The lower profile and narrower frontal area reduce wind drag significantly. This means better fuel economy for your SUV and less strain on your transmission on the hills heading north to Muskoka.

• Hitch Weight: The tongue weights are designed to be manageable, preventing the "sag" often seen on smaller tow vehicles (though we still recommend a Weight Distribution Hitch for the best experience).

Frequently Asked Questions About Summit Series 7

Do I need extended towing mirrors? In many cases, no. Because the trailer is only 7 feet wide, standard SUV mirrors often provide enough visibility to see the rear corners of the trailer. However, clip-on towing mirrors are an inexpensive addition that we always recommend for maximum safety.

Can I walk on the roof? Yes. Despite being "lightweight," the Summit Series 7 is built with the same seamless roof construction and truss system as the larger Catalina models. You can walk on the roof to sweep off pine needles or inspect your seals.

Is it big enough for a family? Absolutely. The bunkhouse models are specifically designed for young families. With the slide-out dinette (available on specific layouts), you gain valuable floor space for the kids to play on rainy days.
