Coachmen RV’s bold statement at this year’s Open House Week will put the focus on innovation, design elevation and value refinement for all products.

Headlining the showcase is one of North America’s first fully electric Class B motorhomes. While its name is still under wraps, this innovative RV is built on the BrightDrop Zevo 600 chassis and delivers a range of 272 miles, supported by up to 1,000 watts of solar. Its forward-thinking, zero-emission design marks a new era for sustainable RVing.

Coachmen continues to push boundaries with its Class A gas lineup. The Euro packs European-inspired efficiency into a compact frame with premium amenities like a 1,200-watt inverter, dual ACs, 200 watts of solar and a tankless water heater.

The Pursuit blends Class A benefits with Class C pricing, offering lengths from 29 to 33 feet, a smooth ride and better handling due to its elongated wheelbase and superior weight distribution, Coachmen says. Its functional design includes a drop-down bunk that can hold up to 500 pounds and a tankless water heater with a capacity of 144 gallons per hour.

The Mirada adds upscale comfort with dual air conditioners with heat pumps, blackout blinds, solar power, a drop-down bunk rated for 500 pounds and spacious layouts in models that range from 30 to 36 feet.

The Encore brings diesel-style refinement to a gas-powered motorhome. This rig offers upgraded features like dual ACs equipped with heat pumps, a Solarium Skylight, tankless water heater and stackable washer/dryer prep.

On the diesel side, the Sportscoach delivers power and polish with a Freightliner chassis, dual heat-pump ACs, Euro-style frameless windows and a 144-gallon tankless water heater. It also offers 200-watt, roof-mounted solar power and a drop-down bunk rated for up to 500 pounds.

Coachmen’s Class B lineup is growing more dynamic. The 2026 Pixel 1.8RB, the smallest yet, comes in under 18 feet on a Ram ProMaster chassis but punches above its size with a rear wet bath, upscale finishes, a 2,000-watt inverter, dual 115Ah AGM batteries and a gas generator.

The Galleria 24RB, built on a Mercedes-Benz 170 Extended chassis, offers a spacious twin-to-queen bed layout, large rear wet bath, hardwood cabinets and connectivity-ready systems including Starlink prep and Truma hot water. It also has a 2,000-watt inverter, a 330Ah AGM battery, LP generator, Truma D furnace and a 7.3-cubic-foot refer with pullout freezer drawer.

Class C updates are just as exciting, Coachmen says. The Prism, built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Cutaway chassis, now features power dual recliners, solid-surface countertops, tankless water heaters, and Select or Elite trim packages.

The Concord, designed for couples, adds a power-incline king bed, side-view cameras, an upscale kitchen, a sliding bar dinette for dining or work, dual power recliners in the living area, a 6,000-watt gas generator with auto start, dual 15,000-Btu Gree air conditioners and 400 watts of rooftop solar.

The rugged Cross Trail introduces new all-wheel-drive chassis options and layouts, including the 26TB Sprinter with a nonslide twin-bed floorplan, a Euro dinette with leg rests and lofted storage. The 20XG Ford Transit model features a suspension lift, off-road tires and dual alternators.

The Freelander and Leprechaun offer thoughtful, family-friendly touches like fireplace-equipped living rooms, convertible dinettes, Starlink prep and plenty of factory-installed features.

In travel trailers, Coachmen continues to offer value and versatility. The Northern Spirit Ultra Lite line delivers family-ready comfort with options like the 3070BH’s Z-bunk system and the 2975RL’s residential island kitchen. Compact innovation shines in the Bijou 15RLB, weighing just over 3,000 pounds yet loaded with space-saving comforts like a fixed bed, extended counter space and vast windows. The Northern Spirit SE 29BH brings affordability with a quad bunk layout and washer/dryer prep.

Apex travel trailers for 2026 continue to set the bar for lightweight luxury. All models are camp-ready with 400 watts of solar, inverter prep, a 52-gallon fresh water tank and Starlink prep. Optional upgrades like the Stargazer window, Goodyear Wrangler AT tires and rear accessory hitch enhance versatility.

Impression will debut two new fifth wheel floorplans: The 301ML and the 36BR3. The 301ML features a uniquely designed living room and kitchen, offering a round dinner table, massive entertainment center with hidden pantry and a king bed. 

The new 36BR3 bunkhouse model is designed with the kids in mind. Adults have their own private room to retreat to while kids can hang out and play in the bunkhouse during the day with plenty of sleeping room for night.

 


Puma

Puma has undergone a strategic reorganization to offer a full product line while leveraging the strength of the Puma brand and its manufacturing expertise. By sharpening and simplifying its product offerings and clearly differentiating the Puma brand family, the company is positioned for growth. This focused approach will support stronger sell-in and sell-through with its established dealer partners and consumers, Puma says.

Puma intends to present the updated lineup, highlighting refreshed models and enhanced branding at Open House Week.

Puma Tracks launches as an all-new line of aluminum-frame ultra-light travel trailers, featuring new floorplans ranging from 25 to 37 feet long.

Puma travel trailers have been refined with targeted product offerings designed to appeal to couples and families needing bunk options. Tankless water heaters now come standard on these travel trailers to enhance convenience and efficiency on the road.

As the company’s most affordable price leader line, Puma Camping Edition now features new floorplans tailored to various customer needs and budgets.

The company has rebranded Puma Destination Trailers as Puma Vista. The standard features for these trailers
now include tankless water heaters and a table with chairs in place of a built-in dinette.

The manufacturer also rebranded Puma toy haulers as Puma Ambush. Although the name changed, these toy haulers have the same floorplans but feature a new two-tone interior.
