The Entegra Coach Condor is a Boondocker’s Friend
One look at the profile of the Entegra Coach Condor is enough to see it’s meant for ruggeder things than your average pavement-bound Class C. The all-wheel-drive Ford Transit chassis is equipped with a 2-inch lift, and the factory tires are swapped out for BF Goodrich all-terrains with matte-black aluminum wheels. Of course, you don’t see the Hellwig helper springs and rear stabilizer bar, but they’re in there, augmenting the suspension when the going gets rough. “We wanted to develop a product that really enhanced the off-road capabilities for folks heading out onto BLM land or boondocking or in national parks,” explains Entegra product development director Cory Weatherton.
To that end, solar comes standard, a 360-watt roof-mounted panel feeding a 12-volt lithium battery. A 2,800-watt Onan generator, meanwhile, draws fuel from the chassis’s 31-gallon tank. These run all the Condor’s utilities, including heat and hot water—no monkeying around with propane unless it’s for the optional outdoor kitchen package.

For now, the Condor has just one floorplan, the 22T, and it’s hyper-efficient without skimping on creature comforts: The 30-by-30 wet bath is roomy, with a cassette toilet rather than a black tank (a 53-gallon freshwater tank is bigger than in many longer Class Cs). The kitchen has a stainless steel sink, slim 12-volt fridge, convection microwave, and stowable induction cooktop. A Firefly wall-mounted touch-screen or app controls lighting, heating and other systems, and optional factory Starlink will keep away drill-happy installers. Twin beds in the rear sleeping space convert to a king, and there’s an optional pop-top if you want the Condor to look and feel even more like a B-van than it already does.
Plenty of industry types have already labeled the Condor a “Class B+,” observing that it’s poised to challenge Winnebago’s popular Ekko. However you label it, it’s bringing more comfort to paths less traveled. MSRP starts at $204,300.
