Dad's Camper Outlet Gulfport is highlighting clearance pricing on selected 2026 Coachmen fifth wheels, with advertised prices for two Chaparral models falling well below their listed manufacturer's suggested retail prices. The move matters for buyers because it creates a rare opportunity to purchase a current-model-year fifth wheel at a significant discount, potentially saving tens of thousands of dollars compared with typical retail pricing. For shoppers researching RVs in Mississippi, the clearance event also signals that dealership inventory is shifting and that negotiation leverage may be stronger than usual.
The 2026 Coachmen Chaparral Lite 31BH is advertised at $49,995 against an MSRP of $81,364, a difference of more than $31,000. Its listed specifications include a length of 37 feet 3 inches, a dry weight of 8,802 pounds, and sleeping capacity for 10 people. The 2026 Coachmen Chaparral 375BAF carries an advertised price of $59,995 against an MSRP of $98,501, a gap of nearly $38,500. That model measures 42 feet 6 inches overall, weighs 12,421 pounds dry, and sleeps eight. Its layout includes a front bunkhouse, loft, kitchen island, theater seating, and two full bathrooms. Both advertised prices include a $5,000 finance rebate, according to the dealership's listings, though buyers should confirm applicable financing terms, final pricing, and availability before purchase.
The implications extend beyond the two clearance units. The Gulfport inventory also includes several 2026 Jayco fifth wheels, such as the Pinnacle 39FLOK, which measures 44 feet 6 inches and has a dry weight of 15,870 pounds, and the Eagle HT 28CRT, which measures 32 feet 11 inches and weighs 9,515 pounds dry. For shoppers comparing fifth wheel & pop-up campers, the dealership also lists four TrailManor pop-up models from the 2026 and 2027 model years. The 2026 TrailManor 2518KS is advertised at $39,995 against an MSRP of $56,004, with an 18-foot length, 2,600-pound dry weight, and sleeping for four. These smaller, lighter options may appeal to households with limited storage space or those seeking weekend-trip versatility.
The broader significance lies in the range of choices now available to Mississippi buyers. The state's coastal destinations, state parks, and campgrounds support year-round RV travel, and the dealership's mix of fifth wheels and pop-ups lets families match floorplans and towing requirements to their vehicles. Dennis Lee, owner of Dad's Camper Outlet Gulfport, said in the announcement that buyers should consider towing capacity, sleeping arrangements, and total cost of ownership before selecting a model. Dry weight figures do not account for cargo, water, or additional equipment, so actual loaded weight must remain within towing limits.
The dealership, which has operated since 2014 and runs four Dad's Camper Outlet locations across Mississippi, also lists travel trailers, motorhomes, and golf carts, with golf-cart inventory associated with its Picayune location. For buyers, the clearance pricing is a signal to act while current-model-year units remain on the lot, but it also underscores the importance of comparing financing terms and confirming out-the-door costs before committing.
