01 What makes it unique
Coachmen lists the 2025 Chaparral 360IBL at 11,450 lb dry, a GVWR of 14,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,550 lb and a pin weight of 2,100 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 39' 9" long and 12' 10" high. Coachmen prints its tanks as 48 gal fresh, 90 gal grey, 45 gal black.
Among the 19 Chaparral floorplans Coachmen’s 2025 fifth-wheel brochure lists with a published dry weight, it is number 11 from the lightest, in a range from 6,950 lb (Chaparral Lite 235RK) to 13,080 lb (Chaparral 393MBX). Every figure in that comparison is Coachmen’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Coachmen’s 2025 fifth-wheel brochure, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2025.

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (14,000 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (3,500 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Coachmen does not publish for the Chaparral 360IBL
Coachmen prints no sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
10,520 lb dry and 13,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 11,450 lb and 14,000 lb.
11,542 lb dry and 14,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 11,450 lb and 14,000 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 48-gallon fresh tank is about 398 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 16% of the Chaparral 360IBL’s 2,550 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,152 lb. Across 19 Chaparral floorplans the water share runs 13% to 22%, and 9 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Chaparral 334FL at 15% and Chaparral 298RLS at 16%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Chaparral 336TSIK, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 39 ft 9 in vs 37 ft 0 in; dry weight 11,450 lb vs 10,520 lb; GVWR 14,000 lb vs 13,500 lb; cargo capacity 2,550 lb vs 2,980 lb; hitch weight 2,100 lb vs 1,880 lb. They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
