Nexus RV
Big capability doesn’t have to come in a big package. That’s the philosophy driving Nexus RV’s 2027 lineup, where rugged 4×4 Super Cs and compact couples’ coaches take center stage.
The company plans to showcase several new models at the 2026 Elkhart Open House, headlined by an all-new four-wheel-drive Super C and a pair of versatile Class C motorhomes aimed at travelers who want more functionality in a smaller footprint.
Gary Yeoman, national sales manager for Nexus RV, says the company is “focused on capitalizing on the 4×4 segment in the Super C category. This area is up 38% in sales in a tough market. The growth in the industry has also surrounded smaller couples’ coach style floorplans. Therefore, we are leaning into 34 foot and under floorplans.”
Leading the 2027 introductions is the Rebel Air XT4, which Nexus describes as the industry’s only 4×4 Super C on air suspension. This coach combines off-road capability with a smooth ride and an impressive 15,000-pound towing capacity.
The company will also introduce the Rebel Air, expanding the lineup with a Super C that will appeal to buyers seeking greater capability without sacrificing comfort. New standard features on the Rebel Air include the ShowerMiser water-saving system and Kelderman air suspension.
Super C models across the lineup will now receive Starlink connectivity and larger 20.3-gallon LP tanks as standard equipment.
The company will also introduce the 27T/P Triumph and Phantom, a 27-foot, nonslide Class C floorplan that reflects the growing popularity of compact motorhomes for couples. Despite its smaller footprint, the new coach maximizes functionality. It features a large rear storage area for outdoor gear and a twin bed that can convert into a king-size sleeping area.
Yeoman expects the compact Class C and the new Rebel Air models to draw attention at the Open House.
“We are launching our 27T/P Triumph and Phantom, a 27-foot nonslide Class C with massive rear storage and twin beds that convert to a king,” he says. “We’re also launching the Rebel Air and Rebel Air XT4, the only 4×4 Super C on air suspension with a 15,000-pound towing capacity.”
The company also continues to build on momentum from some of its strongest-performing models. Yeoman says the 38DS Ghost, 30F Wraith and 30T/P Triumph were among Nexus RV’s most successful coaches over the past year.
Looking ahead, Yeoman believes the motorhome market will face challenges from geopolitical uncertainty and fluctuating fuel prices. Still, he predicts many RV owners will opt for shorter, regional trips versus lengthy cross-country vacations, and he sees significant opportunity in the evolving motorized RV market.
“I believe the exit of the gas Class A chassis and the declining demand for diesel Class A coaches gives us a tremendous opportunity to bring those buyers into Super Cs,” Yeoman says. “I expect Super Cs to make up 15% of all motorized sales by the end of the year.”
Nexus RV also continues to differentiate itself through its multibrand strategy. Rather than offer nearly identical coaches under different names, the company develops distinct brands with unique value propositions to help dealers protect margins and give consumers meaningful differences between products.
“In an industry filled with model clones, Nexus separates our brands to bring real value to our dealers in terms of loyalty and protecting their margins,” Yeoman says. “It also helps eliminate confusion for retail buyers who otherwise may see the same coach with nothing more than a different decal. The value of each of our brands is tangible and helps bring diversification and honesty to the industry.”
Nexus believes its 2027 lineup is well positioned to capitalize on changing customer preferences. By combining innovative Super C designs with compact coaches that maximize livability and storage, the company is targeting buyers who want greater versatility without moving into larger motorhomes.
Dealers attending the 2026 Elkhart Open House can see the complete Nexus RV lineup at its display in the grass lot south of the RV/MH Hall of Fame.
Axiom RV
Designed to elevate the RV experience, Axiom RV’s newest models blend creative floorplans with premium features and smart technology. From new luxury Imperium models with expanded living capabilities to the introduction of its more accessible Avora and Vendetta Grit Series offerings, the company is focused on reaching a broader range of RV buyers while maintaining the craftsmanship and engineering that define the brand, says AJ Jones, president and co-founder of Axiom RV.
The company’s latest lineup reflects its commitment to maximizing comfort, storage and functionality, with new designs that incorporate features such as high ceilings, oversize windows, advanced climate control and patio systems. For Axiom RV, the goal for 2027 is not simply adding new models but creating RVs that deliver more flexibility and livability for today’s travelers.
“Our motto, ‘built for more,’ truly showed with industry-leading features that have never been seen before along with outstanding quality and customer care,” Jones says. “We aim to appeal to a larger market share of customers with our lower price point Avora and Vendetta Grit Series.”
One of the biggest areas of expansion for 2027 is the company’s Vendetta toy hauler lineup. The new Vendetta V-4260 introduces a larger floorplan with two full bathrooms, while the V-4260SP adds a side patio in the garage area for additional outdoor living space. The company is also launching the Vendetta Grit Series, a new line designed to bring many of Axiom’s premium features to customers seeking a lower price point, Jones says.
The first Grit Series models, the G-3714 and G-3714SP, are 42-foot toy haulers featuring a 14-foot garage, one-and-a-half bathrooms and expansive living areas. Despite the more accessible positioning, Axiom says the Grit Series will maintain many of the features that have helped establish its reputation, including the company’s mini-split HVAC system, 9-foot, 10-inch interior ceilings, oversize windows, large pass-through storage, exterior sidewall lighting and rear-mounted generator system.
Axiom is also expanding its Imperium luxury fifth wheel lineup with two new models designed around residential-style comfort and flexibility. The new I-3000 rear living floorplan measures 34 feet, 2 inches and focuses on maximizing usable space, offering seating for up to eight people, a large kitchen area, extensive storage capacity and expansive window coverage. The model also introduces an electric self-deploying rear patio system.
The Imperium I-3900 features a double-suite design with two king-size beds, two full bathrooms and a loft area with three twin beds. Designed for families and larger groups, the model provides multiple sleeping areas while maintaining spacious living and entertaining areas. An optional upper deck patio system will also be available.
Axiom is also entering a new segment with the introduction of its Avora product line. The first two Avora models are the A-3810, an all-new rear kitchen/front bathroom design, and the A-3010, a rear living fifth wheel measuring 34 feet, 2 inches with seating for up to eight people and one of the largest kitchens available in its class.
Across its 2027 lineup, Axiom is emphasizing technology and engineering improvements designed to enhance both comfort and convenience, Jones says. New standard features include a patent-pending mini-split HVAC system, a patent-pending rear-mounted generator, 9-foot, 10-inch interior ceilings, some of the largest windows available in the industry, voice command controls, dovetail drawers and the company’s EZ L-shaped sofa system. Additionally, Axiom’s clear-span roof design eliminates roof penetrations except for necessary vents and solar panels. The company says the design improves durability while providing a cleaner roof structure.
At Open House, Axiom will be displaying on Executive Parkway across the street from the THOR corporate offices.
Kropf Industries
From spacious family retreats to more customizable living spaces, Kropf Industries is broadening its lineup for 2027 with seven thoughtfully designed new floorplans. The company’s latest offerings reflect the evolving priorities of campground owners, seasonal campers and families looking for a true home away from home.
Leading the lineup is the new Eldorado 9115P, a park model designed to maximize indoor-outdoor living. The floorplan features an offset porch entry that improves traffic flow, a large galley-style kitchen positioned away from the main living area and an outdoor kitchen that enhances the camping experience.
For Canadian customers, Kropf has introduced the Eldorado 9114, a spacious family-oriented floorplan featuring a king-sized primary suite with generous storage, a washer/dryer combination and a private en-suite bathroom complete with a 60-inch tile shower, 54-inch soaker tub and separate water closet. A second bedroom with twin bunks and an additional full bathroom makes the model well suited for larger families.
The company’s Island Series also receives several notable additions. The Island 6478QP (Quad Bunk with Porch) introduces what Kropf believes is a first-of-its-kind loft design in the park model segment. The loft stretches from the front to the rear of the unit and incorporates four separate twin sleeping cubbies that provide privacy for children while maintaining open gathering space for the family. Parents also benefit from a private king bedroom with its own porch.
“Kropf’s Quad Loft provides a solution for large families,” Designer Liz Wogoman says. “Thoughtful sleeping spaces provide a zone for each child without sacrificing common living space for the entire family to enjoy together.”
Additional Island Series models broaden the company’s lineup even further. The Island 6474 features a practical front kitchen, spacious living room, king bedroom and large loft, while the Island 6481 is designed specifically to maximize sleeping capacity with a queen primary bedroom, triple bunk room, expansive loft and sleeper sofa for accommodating family and friends.
Alongside the expanded floorplan selection, Kropf is enhancing its feature offerings across multiple product lines. The Eldorado Series receives additional standard amenities designed to satisfy growing demand for luxury park models that arrive equipped with premium finishes and conveniences. At the same time, the Island Series gains a wider range of optional features, giving dealers and buyers greater flexibility to personalize each unit through an à la carte approach.
Customization continues to be a major focus for the manufacturer as more buyers seek unique vacation homes tailored to their individual tastes. According to Wogoman, Kropf has responded by carefully expanding its decor selections while continuing to offer layouts that dealers know perform well in their markets.
“Dealers want tried and true floorplans and decor combos,” Wogoman says. “They know their market well and look forward to Kropf options that have anticipated the preferences of a wide range of buyers.”
She noted that the company’s retail business has grown significantly as more customers pursue personalized builds. That emphasis on personalization is supported by Kropf’s in-house engineering, design and sales teams that work closely with dealers and retail customers to create stock inventory and custom homes. The company believes that thoughtful design can make even compact living spaces feel spacious, comfortable and indulgent.
Residential-inspired upgrades continue to drive purchasing decisions as well. Exterior porches, premium residential siding and metal roofing have all experienced steadily increasing demand as buyers prioritize durability and lower maintenance.
“Residential upgrades that increase longevity and decrease maintenance are at the forefront of our customers’ priorities,” says Brian Wogoman, director of product development.
Among all of Kropf’s 2027 introductions, company leaders believe the new Quad Bunk concept will generate the most excitement among dealers and consumers.
“Park models have had single, double and even triple lofts for years. The construction and location of our new Quad loft utilizes square footage in a practical way that isn’t currently offered anywhere else in the market,” Brian Wogoman says.
Looking ahead, Kropf remains optimistic despite softer conditions affecting portions of the RV market. Company leadership believes continued investment in product development, quality construction and customer customization positions the manufacturer well for sustained growth.
“While the majority of the market is feeling a bit soft, Kropf Industries is thankful to have a demand that far exceeds expectations,” General Manager Trevor Kropf says. “This industry is more resilient than most and we remain optimistic that improvements and corrections that have been made across all levels of the industry will preserve the health and longevity of the industry as a whole.”
