Sneak Your Peak at 2023

NEW IS ALWAYS SHROUDED IN MYSTERY—until it arrives. Now, that moment is here. Next year’s 2023 models are ready to step into the light. The new class is bolder, edgier, more rugged, and increasingly energy efficient. These RVs are ready to captivate any campsite they pull into. Whether they turn heads on the glampground or launch an overland expedition … well, that’s up to you.

East to West Ahara 378BH-OK

Why We Heart This:

You don’t get a fifth wheel because you wanna go small. And the Ahara delivers big—on luxury and capacity. Its Barrington Maple interior décor dazzles. Its massive open-floor design makes way for a spacious galley with a beautiful island. Bunks, fold downs, and king-sized beds maximize sleep space inside, and the double awnings extend shade outside.

Specs:

► LENGTH: 41 FT 5 IN ► HITCH WEIGHT: 2,605 LBS
► HEIGHT: 13 FT 6 IN ► FRESH/GRAY/BLACK: 63/90/90 GAL
► DRY WEIGHT: 14,109 LBS ► MSRP: $113,825

inTech O-V-R Navigate

Why We Heart This:

Built to rumble comfortably off-grid but still large enough to fit the family, the O-V-R Navigate is an adventure trailer that both looks the part and plays it well. Hidden in the striking silhouette of its razor-edge design, there’s a slide-out kitchen to cook outdoors. Inside, a dedicated bedroom and wraparound dinette make space count where it matters most.

Specs:

► LENGTH: 27 FT 1 IN ► GVWR: 7,500 LBS
► HEIGHT (W/AC): 10 FT 6 IN ► FRESH/GRAY/BLACK: 44/39/39 GAL
► DRY WEIGHT: 5,900 LBS ► MSRP: $64,400

ATC Plā 2917

Why We Heart This:

Toy haulers usually sacrifice living space for garage space. But we’re wowed by the ATC Plā’s ability to let you keep that choice open. The modular design of the garage enables you to configure the space as you desire. Moreover, the technology onboard makes control simple. From the Firefly Integrations controls to the MB Quart stereo, all systems and sound are at your command.

Specs:

► LENGTH (W/HITCH): 35 FT 6 IN ► HITCH WEIGHT: 975 LBS
► HEIGHT (W/AC): 11 FT 6 IN ► FRESH/GRAY/BLACK: 100/45/45 GAL
► DRY WEIGHT: 7,600 LBS ► MSRP: $73,995 ( STARTING AT )

nuCamp TAB 400

Why We Heart This:

The truth is: Almost every teardrop looks cool from the outside. The TAB 400 couples the classic look with European styling, but—like any great RV (or person)—it’s what’s inside that matters most. Somehow it pulls off squeezing a true queen-sized bed, full kitchen, wet bath, and second sleeping space (a converted dinette) in a way that feels easy. That’s no small feat.

Specs:

► LENGTH: 18 FT 3 IN ► DRY WEIGHT: 2,840 LBS
► WIDTH: 7 FT 6 IN ► GAWR: 3,900 LBS
► HEIGHT: 8 FT 8 IN ► FRESH/GRAY/BLACK: 22/18/12 GAL
► MSRP: $50,089

OFFROAD campers AND cutting-edge CLASS B models

Four Wheel Campers HAWK

Why We Heart This:
There’s very little that’s more American than throwing everything in the back of your truck. The Four Wheel Campers HAWK is where the art of robust individualism has reached perfection. Fitting fullsized trucks with regular 6- to 6.5-foot beds, this hardy pop-up is a no-nonsense approach to going overland. It sleeps up to four—so choose three friends wisely.

Specs (Roll Over Couch)

► ROOF LENGTH: 10 FT 8 IN ► INT. HEADROOM: 6 FT 5 IN
► FLOOR LENGTH: 6 FT 8 IN ► FRESH WATER: 20 GAL
► BODY WIDTH: 6 FT 8 IN ► DRY WEIGHT: 1,100 LBS
► MSRP: $25,625

Winnebago Solis NPF 59P

Why We Heart This:

If you thought the overland movement was confined to light trailers and pop-ups, watch out—here comes the Solis NPF. Its back opens and drawers extend for storage space. Its pop top has a 220-watt solar panel on top and a FROLI sleep system for two underneath. Thermal window coverings and ceiling-to-floor insulation keep the cab cozy—and the weather at bay.

Specs:

► CHASSIS: RAM PROMASTER 280HP ► EXT LENGTH: 19 FT 9 IN
► ENGINE: 3.6L V6 GAS ► EXT HEIGHT: 9 FT
► GVWR: 8,900 LBS ► EXT WIDTH: 6 FT 9 IN
► GCWR: 12,000 LBS ► FRESH/GRAY/BLACK: 20/20/5 GAL
► MSRP: $135,162

Lance Enduro

Why We Heart This:

If this is what 2023 RVs look like, bring them on! The Lance Enduro is sharp, rugged, and irresistibly cool. Every crevice is crafted for the outdoors adventurer—from the placement of its state-of-the-art solar panels to its optional rooftop tent. With the latter, the Enduro can sleep up to six. Somehow it also packs a wet bath inside and a tidy kitchen outside.

Specs:

► LENGTH: 19 FT ► GVWR: 4,500 LBS
► HEIGHT: 9 FT 5.5 IN ► FRESH/GRAY: 40/26 GAL
► DRY WEIGHT: 3,500 LBS ► MSRP: COMING SOON

Jayco Solstice Li

Why We Heart This:

The Solstice Li tackles energy efficiency from every angle—with its Renogy 3500W inverter charger, 200W roof-mounted solar panels, 30-amp electrical service, and 48V-210Ah smart lithium
battery—which provides 10KW hours of power. Also, you can avoid a dreaded RV mishap (Page 25) with its 360-degree camera, blindspot assist, side-sensing, and reverse sense systems.

Specs:

► CHASSIS: FORD TRANSIT AWD 350HD ► EXT HEIGHT: 10 FT
► GVWR: 11,000 LBS ► EXT WIDTH: 82 IN
► GCWR: 12,600 LBS ► FRESH/GRAY/ BLACK: 24/15.75/15.50 GAL
► EXT LENGTH: 19 FT 8 IN ► MSRP: $198,300

Thor Motor Coach Pasadena 38BX

Why We Heart This:

There’s something about the Pasadena 38BX that’s a strange and awesome mixture of luxury and science fiction. The dome of this diesel-driven Class C itches for travel. And the cabinet-cloaked bunks would make an astronaut proud. Satin finish cabinetry ranges from the kitchen to the master king-sized bed, giving the cabin a warm quality—and providing lots of storage.

Specs:

► CHASSIS: FREIGHTLINER S2RV ► EXT HEIGHT: 13 FT 3 IN
► ENGINE: CUMMINS B6.7L 360 HP ► EXT WIDTH: 101 IN
► GVWR: 32,700 LBS ► FRESH/GRAY/BLACK: 100/41/40 GAL
► EXT LENGTH: 39 FT 10 IN ► MSRP: $349,500

Fleetwood RV Flex 34J

Why We Heart This:

Because it’s proof you can have it all. And by all we mean all your friends with you. Seriously, they can sleep in the bunk beds in the slide or on the jack-knife sofa or in the Hide-A-Loft drop-down bed or at the Dream Dinette. There are four LED TVs for everyone to watch. Come morning, they can get breakfast in the huge galley—which, of course, has one of the fanciest backsplashes we’ve ever seen.

Specs:

► CHASSIS: FORD F-5 3 ► EXT LENGTH: 36 FT
► E N G I N E : F O R D 7.3 L T R I T O N V 8 ► EXT HEIGHT: 12 FT 4 IN
► GVWR: 22,000 LBS ► EXT WIDTH: 100 IN
► GCWR: 43,000 LBS ► FRESH/GRAY/BLACK: 50/37/37 GAL

Coachmen Sportscoach 354QS

Why We Heart This:

Everything with the Sportscoach 354QS is smooth and easy. The driving is smooth. The kitchen surfaces are smooth. The lighting is superior to almost anything we’ve seen. But you can also turn it down, light the fireplace, and play some Miles Davis on the built-in soundbar. Because in the Sportscoach 354QS, everything’s a little easier—from the textured glass of shower to the king-sized bed.

Specs:

► CHASSIS: STRAIGHT RAIL FREIGHTLINER ► EXT LENGTH: 36 FT 3 IN
► ENGINE: CUMMINS ISB 340 HP REAR DIESEL ► EXT HEIGHT: 12 FT 10 IN
► GVWR: 26,000 LBS ► EXT WIDTH: 102 IN
► GCWR: 30,000 LBS ► FRESH/GRAY/BLACK: 72/45/45 GAL
