Reliable sources indicate that Tiffin will introduce a “stretched version” of their 28 foot Breeze diesel pusher, that will be 32 feet and have two slides. THOR will introduce 11 new floor plans in various coaches that they produce. Newmar will debut 3D TV to the RV market place in their top of the line Essex and King Aire coaches featuring Sony TV’s. Fleetwood will reintroduce a diesel Bounder, certainly to be popular among the thousands of Bounder owners who want diesel power and features and were shut out of the market for a couple of years. In addition there will be a number of new floor plans in the successful Tioga Ranger DSL and Tioga DSL coaches built on the popular Mercedes Benz chassis.
Moving up in size the Storm and Southwind models get new floor plans and I am told that the Storm 33Q will have some innovative features. Of course the popular Discovery and Expedition will also see some updates as well. After an almost 3 year absence American Coach will re-introduce a non-tag-axle model luxury coach (HurrayJ) and the top of the line Heritage will introduce a floor plan featuring 460 square feet of interior living space. That is the size of a bachelor or studio apartment and it will definitely be the leader of the pack in space.
Not to be left out Winnebago will feature many new and updated models. Spartan Chassis will be introducing an 25 foot Class C chassis with either gas or diesel power and air suspension designed for customers with mobility and health concerns. In addition a 32 foot diesel pusher chassis will feature a choice of the Navistar MF7 or Cummins ISP engines. Convenience and fuel efficiency are rising up the priority ladder by the looks of these offerings. Speaking of Navistar, after the successful launch of the Vesta and Trip last year there is much anticipation about the upcoming Dynasty and other offerings in the full sized, luxury featured coaches. One can be certain, that the Navistar influence will be evident if in no other way than the new front end designs that lend a corporate similarity to all of their lineup.
I am sure there will be a flurry of innovative accessory products and we will be combing through them to see what we can offer the motorized RVer on our website in 2012. Speaking of our website, watch it over the next couple of months as we transition to a much more dynamic design. We are striving to offer many more products and very competitive prices. In addition there will be audio and video components that will help you understand more about the RVing lifestyle.
Check back each day next week as we bring you highlights from the RVIA National Trade Show.
