Best in Class: Our Favorite RVs for 2025

The world of RVs can be sprawling, especially when you consider the field’s full spectrum, somehow embracing both landship Class As and nimble, tiny, camp-ready trailers. Looking forward into 2025, we tried to take it all in. We roamed big shows and scoured remote corners of the internet, searching and sifting to pick some all-stars from the crop of new vehicles hitting the road. We found a dynamic world of high design and sometimes whimsical ambition—an industry that’s exploring every cultural niche and lifestyle pursuit it can think of. We noticed a growing cohort of “destination” trailers, speaking to folks who see their rig as something more than a means from Point A to B. We saw many clever remixes of nostalgic looks and high-tech amenities. Some of the most interesting vehicles take age-old RV categories and blur their boundaries. Read on—you’ll see the rides that caught our eye. And maybe yours?

The Best High-Tech Tin Can

Bowlus Rivet

MSRP: $150,000

GVWR: 3,500 LBS.

Sleeping Capacity: 4

Length: 25’ 3”

Lightweight and built to last, the Bowlus Rivet impresses with its retro styling and high-tech features. The travel trailer’s self-powered electric drive system makes it easy to tow behind just about any vehicle, including an EV. At the campsite, the Rivet’s 8kWh battery pack and 660-watt solar array allow owners to camp off-grid for up to two weeks at a time. It’s no less impressive inside, with yacht-inspired styling and amenities, including a gorgeous galley kitchen.

The Best Starter Kit RV

The Winnebago Access delivers excellent build quality, plenty of amenities and great customer service in an affordable package, ideal for families and couples. MSRP: $23,000

The Best for Campground Movie Night

The Forest River Rogue Armored 26L140’s primary bedroom comes with a built-in 4K video projector and a window blind that converts to a screen. Popcorn seasoning is up to you. MSRP: $70,000

The Best Mobile Office Space

The Brinkley Model Z 3515’s rear office includes an adjustable-height desk for road warriors looking to clock in from the great outdoors. MSRP: $120,916

Note From the Field: “My favorite couple’s travel trailer is the Keystone Cougar 22MLS. It’s only 27 feet, meaning many half-ton trucks can tow it. You don’t need a monster truck. It also has a redesigned basement for storage, more headroom and a bigger sleeping space.” —Josh Winters  (@JOSHTHERVNERD)

Best Game-Changing Camper

Lance 1172 Truck Camper

MSRP: $84,266

Dry Weight: 4,063 LBS.

Sleeping Capacity: 5-6

Length: 20’ 4”

This one redefines what we thought possible with a truck camper. Two slide-outs create a surprisingly spacious interior and modern amenities stack up: a large dinette, a dry bath, a well-appointed interior kitchen, a plush couch. With room for up to six adults, the 1172 makes the perfect basecamp for anglers, hunters, hikers and other outdoorsy wanderers. A residential queen-size bed will be a welcome luxury after a long day on the trail.

The Best for Continental Flair

Compact and nimble, the Coachmen Euro 25EU offers the space and comfort of a Class A motorcoach while driving like a camper van. The RV’s European styling helps it stand out on the road and at the campsite, too. MSRP: $218,878

The Best for Retired Major Leaguers

The Newmar King Aire is the kingpin among luxury RVs, with high-end features like Italian leather furniture, quartz countertops and heated tile floors. All floorplans include a primary bedroom suite with a massive bathroom, a second half-bath and a kitchen with upscale residential appliances. MSRP: $1,637,440

The Best Off-Road Explorer

The SylvanSport GOAT gets high marks for its versatility and rugged design. Built for off-road travel, this pop-up camper quickly transforms into a toy hauler or utility trailer, extending its use well beyond the campground. MSRP: $19,495

Best for Nostalgia Surfers

Westfalia Wave Pop-Top

MSRP: $179,849

GVWR: 9,350 LBS.

Sleeping Capacity: 6

Length: 20’ 9”

The storied Westfalia brand returns to North America in groovy form with the Wave Class B camper van. Available in two models—the Wave Skylight and Wave Pop-Top—this neo-throwback delivers a lot of features in a form factor that is somehow both modern and retro at the same time. The Pop-Top model comfortably sleeps six, practically unheard of in a vehicle of this size. That’s enough space for your whole crew to roll on down the road.

The Best Very Limited Edition

The Airstream Interstate 19X LE Outland Edition’s premium Sony sound system and colorful LED lights turn any campsite into a dance party. But with only 30 units produced, most of us will be lucky even to see one. Still, pretty cool stuff. Consider the standard Interstate 19X as a more accessible alternative. MSRP: $344,000

The Best for #VANLIFE

Built with outdoor enthusiasts in mind, the Outside Van Parks is made for exploration. This Class B model rides on an AWD Sprinter chassis, comfortably sleeps two and has the best dry bath we’ve seen in a camp van. MSRP: $236,000

The Best for Free-Range Families

With two bathrooms, a spacious primary bedroom and a second bedroom with bunk beds, the Keystone Montana High Country 397FB is the perfect family fifth-wheel. It even comes with built-in desks for schooling on the road. MSRP: TBD at press time

Note From the Field:  “If I’m picking a towable, I’d have to say the Alliance RV Benchmark 44LFT. You have big windows and tall ceilings. It feels like a tiny house rather than a large RV. They knocked it out of the park with this destination trailer.” —Matt Foxcroft (@MATTSRVREVIEWS)

Best for Retro Cute

Gulfstream Vintage Cruiser

MSRP: $38,684

GVWR: 4,384-5,060 LBS.

Sleeping Capacity: 4-6

Length: 23’ 1”- 26′ 1″

Stepping inside a Gulfstream Vintage Cruiser is a bit like traveling back in time. These lightweight towables embrace the wood-grain paneling and color schemes of a bygone era to crank the nostalgia vibes. Modern appliances—like a 12V fridge and a microwave—do little to break the illusion that you’re somehow camping in the 1950s. Charming and fun.

The Best for Camp Cocktails

Destination trailers have grown in popularity recently, but the Crossroads Hampton HP374BAR still manages to stand out amid the trend. Its dedicated wet bar just might make it the ultimate party RV. We’ll have ours shaken, not stirred, thank you. MSRP: $100,588

Best for Small Scale Living

Looking for an RV that drives like a camper van but offers plenty of luxury? The Leisure Travel Vans Unity has you covered. We especially like the Corner Bed model, which includes a spacious sleeping area, a comfy lounge space and a gorgeous galley kitchen. MSRP: $195,470

The Best for Spoiling Yourself

Luxury Super Cs don’t come any plusher than the Renegade RV XL X45BDM. This model features porcelain tiled floors, maple hardwood cabinets and 1.5 baths. An outdoor entertainment center can combine big-game watching with fresh-air lounging. MSRP: $762,559

Best Escape Pod

Jayco Pinnacle 38SSWS

MSRP: $120,243

GVWR: 17,650 LBS.

Sleeping Capacity: 4

Length: 40′

What’s not to love about this action-packed travel trailer? Built for couples—plus occasional overnight guests—this roomy towable feels like home in all the right ways. You’ve got your theater seating, multiple smart TVs, a modern island kitchen—and not one fireplace, but two. We especially love the massive primary bedroom suite, complete with king-size bed, a bathroom with a walk-in shower and its own couch. Washer/dryer prep, ample storage, and large holding tanks make this model ready for full-time living.

The Best for Off-Grid Glamping

With its 100-gallon freshwater tank, 600W solar panel and 4,800Wh lithium house battery, the Living Vehicle HD30 is an invitation to get far, far gone. The travel trailer’s foldout side patio, spa-like bathroom and luxurious bedroom don’t hurt either. MSRP: $399,995

The Best for “True” Extremes

Outstanding build quality, off-road tires and a beefy suspension give the Mammoth Overland ELE (Extinction Level Event) legitimate off-road cred. But let’s be real: The standout attributes are the sealed interior cabin, air purification system and on-board bear spray defense system. What’s out there, anyway? MSRP: $67,000

The Best for a Freestyle Lifestyle

There is a lot to love with the Ember Overland Edition 221MSL, which comes equipped with 1,200W of solar, off-road tires and a burly suspension. Of note: the versatile EmberTrack space, which can be used for bunks, gear storage or an office. MSRP: $66,023

The Best for Serious Rough-Housing

THOR Outlaw

MSRP: $295,350

GVWR: 26,000 LBS.

Sleeping Capacity: 6

Length: 39′ 10″

The THOR Outlaw stands out as one of the few Class A toy haulers on the market. The design combines these two distinct styles by adding a 10’ 2” garage to the rear of a luxurious motorcoach. The result is a distinctive blend of comfort and functionality, with room to haul a UTV or a golf cart. As you would expect, the rear cargo ramp converts into a patio, extending the living space to the outdoors.

The Best Trail Buddy

Available in both travel trailer and fifth-wheel models, the KZ Sportster X is a toy hauler ready to pack out everything from kayaks and e-bikes to large UTVs. Copious amounts of storage, elevated interior design, LED accent lighting and integrated JBL Bluetooth sound system help accentuate the fun. MSRP: TBD at press time

The Best Classy Class A

A king-size bed, 1.5 baths, a gigantic closet and a drop-down front bunk all elevate the Tiffin Phaeton 44 OH. Optional upgrades can run to a washer/dryer combo, a dishwasher and an outdoor gas grill. MSRP: $550,559

Note From the Field:  “We don’t often get a truly new thing, but electric fold-down decks are trending. The Forest River Sabre 33RLP is by far one of my favorites. The deck is only four feet wide, so it doesn’t take up all your campsite space, and it’s like a big window when it’s closed.” —Jason Epperson (@RVMILES)

The Best Backcountry Beast

Storyteller Overland GXV HILT

MSRP: $446,322

GVWR: 19,500 LBS.

Sleeping Capacity: 4

Length: 27′

This animal’s heavy-duty off-road chassis allows it to roam just about anywhere. But it’s the 16.8kWh house batteries and 120-gallon freshwater tank that allow you to stay out in the hinterlands about as long as you want. Inside, this burly number is surprisingly refined and luxurious. We love the HILT’s massive U-shaped dinette with seating for five and its comfortable queen-size cab-over bed. An upscale wet bath and galley kitchen add a touch of class and convenience.

You Need It? They Have It:

A Super-High-quality Class C: Grand Design Lineage Series M
Trailer powerhouse Grand Design’s first motorized foray doesn’t disappoint.

A Go-Anywhere In-Style Class B: Pleasure-Way Plateau XLTS
Camp off -grid with 500W solar panel and 600Ah lithium batteries.

A Foolproof Year-Round Camping Solution: Northwood AFox Edge
A well-equipped travel trailer built to take on the elements.

A Class A with a Buttery-Smooth Ride: Entegra Coach Cornerstone
Comfortable and refined, both inside and out.

A Fifth-Wheel Nicer Than Most Airbnbs: DRV Mobile Suites
The gold standard for luxury fifth-wheel trailers.
