Family-Friendly Space with Plenty of Smart Features

The 263BHXL gives the kids their own space with oversized rear bunks, while parents get a private front bedroom featuring Salem's Stretch-Out Custom King bed. The main living area uses a large slide to open up the floorplan, while Campfire-View panoramic picture windows bring plenty of natural light and a great view of the campsite inside.

The kitchen is ready for family meals with an extra-large 12V refrigerator, bake-and-roast convection microwave, generous cabinetry, counter space, and plenty of storage. Outside, a dedicated camp kitchen gives you another place to cook while keeping everyone close to the campground action.

Storage is another strong point, including Salem's Stow N Go under-dinette storage for camping gear, games, supplies, and all the stuff a family somehow manages to bring along. A full bathroom, dual entry doors, outside shower, power awning with evening lighting, power tongue jack, and power stabilizer jacks add even more everyday convenience.

Construction includes a 5/8" tongue-and-groove real plywood floor, 3/8" roof decking, pet-friendly ductless floors, full-size spare tire, and extended-season enclosed underbelly. The H-Track A/C ducting helps distribute cool air throughout the camper, while the 60,000 BTU tankless water heater keeps hot water coming without waiting for a traditional tank to recover.

At approximately 5,854 lbs. dry, the 263BHXL offers a lot of family camper for its weight.
