There’s a new luxury van on the market called the Jayco Terrain 19Y that is likely to give some serious competition to the current crop of vehicles created to pair rugged adventure with creature comforts.
Jayco is owned by THOR Industries, which also owns Airstream. It’s been around since the late 1960s, a pioneer in those pop-up campers that your parents or grandparents may have owned.

What these folks have in common are deep pockets for a vehicle that, in this case, starts at $201,000.
