Lancaster Cabins
Today’s campers seek an experience. Lancaster Cabins answers their call with a lineup of park models that blend rustic charm with modern comfort.
The company will debut new models with more luxury features at this year’s Open House.
According to Sales Manager Serg Mashkov, the 2027 model year will combine the features customers request most with thoughtful improvements that enhance appearance and functionality.
The new Rancher with Porch combines several of Lancaster Cabins’ most popular design elements into a single floorplan. The park-model cabin features two separate bedrooms, a loft for sleeping and a covered porch.
Lancaster is also introducing an all-new Modern Farmhouse model that combines rustic charm with contemporary architectural styling and upscale finishes. Joining it is a new Scandinavian model that emphasizes clean lines, large windows and a modern aesthetic while including several premium features as standard equipment.
“The new Scandinavian model will provide high fashion at a very affordable price while maintaining the quality and durability that set Lancaster Cabins apart,” Mashkov says.
In 2027, all log cabin models will come standard with vinyl windows and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring. The larger windows will bring more natural light into the cabins while creating a stronger connection to the outdoors.
The company also added an extra window in the Sierra and Lakeview bunkrooms to brighten the interior and create a more open feel.
Showers with glass doors and tile walls are now available on all log cabin models, while cabins with porches can be upgraded to include composite decking and aluminum railings.
The company’s popular Winter Package now includes a cold-climate hyper-heat mini-split condenser and a water pump circulator to improve cold-weather performance. Lancaster will also continue offering custom options for larger orders of 30 cabins or more.
Mashkov says the company’s two-bedroom Rancher cabin and its Glamping Pods experienced strong demand in 2026. The Winter Package was also popular as more parks and campgrounds extend their operating seasons.
Lancaster expects the demand for premium cabin accommodations to grow as RV parks diversify their offerings.
“The market is alive and well,” Mashkov says. “There is a new excitement in the air as RVIA [RV Industry Association] continues to report increased park model sales. Cabin stays are becoming necessary for RV parks and resorts. There is also a surge in new developments and continual revamping of current parks.”
The company also sees customer preferences moving toward brighter interiors, luxury finishes and residential comfort. In response, Lancaster has incorporated larger windows, easier-to-maintain flooring, new architectural styles and king-size beds into its newest models.
Mashkov says Lancaster refines its cabins throughout the year based on customer feedback.
“In 2027, we will continue to serve our customers with integrity, great pricing, quality and continuous improvement,” he says. “We don’t wait for a new model year to improve the models and options we offer.”
With new park model styles, upgraded standard features and expanded luxury options, Lancaster Cabins 2027 lineup is well positioned to help campground and resort operators meet the growing demand for upscale cabin accommodations.
Recreation By Design
One-size-fits-all has never been part of Recreation By Design’s business model. A customer-first approach drives the company’s 2027 lineup, highlighted by new destination trailers, the launch of an all-new fifth wheel brand and the design flexibility dealers expect.
According to Baypoint Brand Manager Sebern Combs, the company’s 2027 lineup will allow dealers and customers to customize floorplans and features to meet individual needs.
“The fact that many of our models have design change flexibility gives our dealers the edge to close complicated deals,” Combs says. “We can make changes on a standard model that many other manufacturers would not entertain.”
Recreation By Design’s adaptability is its key competitive edge as it launches new products in 2027.
The company plans to debut at least one new single-bedroom model and one new multi-bedroom floorplan and add to its Baypoint Destination Trailer lineup. While details remain limited ahead of Open House, the new models will expand choices for RVers seeking residential-style accommodations.
Recreation By Design is also updating its interiors with refreshed decor and finishes that reflect current residential design trends. The changes will modernize the interiors and ensure customers get the comfort and quality they’re used to.
Rather than limit dealers to a handful of factory-selected options, Recreation By Design offers a vast list of features and modifications to tailor units to local market preferences and individual customer requests.
The company will introduce the West Wyn mid-profile fifth wheel lineup with four models. West Wyn is taking the residential style and interior design that made Baypoint Destination Units popular and putting it into a new fifth wheel.
“We’ve had several dealers asking for this for some time,” Combs says. “We feel that the 2027 Open House will be the perfect timing for this debut.”
West Wyn will give dealers another premium product category while maintaining the design philosophy customers already recognize from the Baypoint brand.
During the past year, the Baypoint 400-DL emerged as one of Recreation By Design’s strongest-selling models, joined by the 431-FDL and 411-DBL. According to Combs, those models succeeded because they offered layouts and design elements that customers couldn’t find elsewhere.
Recreation By Design expects customization to become an important differentiator as dealers compete for buyers in a more selective market. While some manufacturers continue to standardize their products, the company believes flexibility gives dealers a valuable tool for closing sales that might otherwise be lost.
Combs acknowledges that the RV market remains softer than in recent years but says he believes manufacturers that continue investing in product innovation and customer service will be well positioned as conditions improve.
“The market is off a little, and when that happens, manufacturers have to find unique ways to adjust,” he says. “As long as we continue to hold our course, I know we’ll have another record year in sales.”
As the company heads into Open House, Combs says the entire Recreation By Design team is excited about the opportunities the 2027 model year presents.
“All of us at Recreation By Design are excited about the new opportunities awaiting at the Open House,” he says. “We’ll continue providing the best quality products and service to our customers as we all work through these challenging times.”
Dealers attending the 2026 Elkhart Open House can see the complete Recreation By Design lineup at 22447 County Road 6.
Vantera RV
As technology reshapes nearly every aspect of daily life, Vantera RV, formerly ATIA, is bringing artificial intelligence (AI) to the campground with an all-new travel trailer lineup.
At the heart of Vantera RV’s 2027 lineup is the all-new Hiatus, a lightweight travel trailer that redefines what buyers can expect from an entry-level coach.
The Hiatus lineup will launch with four floorplans inspired by the company’s popular Garage-able Unit (GU) series. The new trailers are wider to provide additional living space but remain lightweight for easier towing and greater accessibility to a broader range of RV buyers.
Founder, CEO and President Nick Nicholas says the company is excited to introduce an entry-level travel trailer that still delivers premium construction features.
The Hiatus comes standard with a 3/4-inch, one-piece fiberglass floor, a feature designed to improve durability while providing a solid foundation for the coach. The new lineup also introduces updated multinational-inspired interior designs for a more contemporary appearance.
Rather than offering fixed floorplans, Vantera RV works with dealer partners to tailor layouts and features to regional customers’ preferences. Nicholas says involving dealers and customers throughout the design process has become a hallmark of the company.
While the new Hiatus lineup expands the company’s reach into the entry-level market, Nicholas believes the most talked-about introduction at Open House will be the AI-controlled Hiatus travel trailer that integrates voice-activated controls throughout the coach.
With this travel trailer, users can use AI to perform everyday functions such as turning lights on and off, operating the water heater and water pump, checking tank levels and controlling other onboard systems through simple voice commands.
“When I tell you, this will be a game changer, I mean it,” Nicholas says.
Nicholas says the 2027 lineup reflects the company’s commitment to delivering meaningful improvements in the areas customers care about most — design, technology, efficiency and value.
“We wanted every new model to feel like a genuine step forward,” he says. “We want customers to immediately notice the difference the moment they walk into the showroom.”
That philosophy is reflected in the Hiatus lineup’s contemporary exterior styling, redesigned interiors and premium finishes, giving the travel trailers a stronger presence on dealer lots. Intuitive AI-powered controls and thoughtfully integrated technology are easy for dealers to demonstrate and will make camping simpler and more enjoyable for owners.
Nicholas adds that increasing dealer representation is one of the company’s top priorities as it continues to grow its footprint throughout North America.
Looking to the rest of 2026 and into 2027, Nicholas believes the RV industry is stabilizing as dealer inventories become better aligned with demand. He expects the annual Open House season to mark the beginning of that transition as manufacturers introduce new products and dealers prepare for the next selling cycle.
“Our goal is for dealers to have products that generate traffic on-site and for customers to feel they’re getting a more modern, better equipped and more compelling RV the moment they step into the showroom,” he says.
With the launch of the Hiatus lineup, expanded customization opportunities and what the company describes as the industry’s first AI-controlled travel trailer, Vantera RV, formerly ATIA, is positioning itself as an innovator focused on making technology, personalization and lightweight design more accessible to today’s RV buyers.
