01 What makes it unique
Coachmen lists the 2025 Chaparral 375BAF at 12,422 lb dry, a GVWR of 14,500 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,078 lb and a pin weight of 2,152 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 42' 6" long and 13' high. Coachmen prints its tanks as 48 gal fresh, 112 gal grey, 72 gal black.
Among the 19 Chaparral floorplans Coachmen’s 2025 fifth-wheel brochure lists with a published dry weight, it is number 16 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 (14,500 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (3,625 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 375BAF
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
12,400 lb dry and 15,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 12,422 lb and 14,500 lb.
12,721 lb dry and 14,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 12,422 lb and 14,500 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), 19% of the Chaparral 375BAF’s 2,078 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,680 lb. Across 19 Chaparral floorplans the water share runs 13% to 22%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Chaparral Lite 235RK at 18% and Chaparral 373MBRB at 20%. 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 381DBL, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 4 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): dry weight 12,422 lb vs 12,186 lb; cargo capacity 2,078 lb vs 2,314 lb; hitch weight 2,152 lb vs 2,040 lb; black tank 72 gal vs 75 gal. They match on length, GVWR, fresh tank and grey tank.
