Lifestyle benefits showcased in Louisville
Gulf Stream
|
The Endura super-duty Class C with new paint and interior options. |
The new 37' triple-slide Endura made a lot of heads turn when they realized it was a Class C that they were looking at.

 |
 |
|
The new StreamLite lineup of ultra lightweight trailers generated a lot of attention from dealers. Although light in weight, the product lineup is loaded with features. |
The new Gulf Breeze is a stylish lightweight line of travel trailers and hybrid units with fold-out beds. |
|
Carriage, Inc.
|
Another show-stopper was the New Generation Royals International luxury fifth-wheel that featured |
 |
 |
|
brand-name amenities that are usually only found in high-end Class A motorhomes.
An elaborate entertainment center, the Waste Master evacuation system, and full-body paint caught everyone's attention when they entered the Carriage display. |
 |
 |
|
This unit will top out around $175,000 and the designers looked at motor homes selling around $300,000 to get their ideas and requirements for such an outstanding fifth-wheel offering. |

Isata
|
|
The new DynaQuest Touring Cruiser was one of many "beefy" Class C's we see coming into the marketplace. This outstanding product is going to catch the fancy of many a bus or large diesel owner who is looking to downsize but is not willing to give up on luxury and power … both of which can be found in abundance in the
DynaQuest. The coach is built on a sturdy, long-lasting Freightliner M2 truck chassis made for hauling tons of commercial cargo cross-country. This chassis has been known to travel over a million miles. The unit offers the same high-tech benefits as their top-of-the-line Grand Sport - outstanding aerodynamics and drivability and excellent diesel-power performance - in a slightly smaller, more maneuverable motor coach package. It was another show-stopper in Louisville. |
|
K-Z
| This well-respected manufacturer showcased a new product line, JAG, at the Louisville show. The full trailer and fifth-wheel lineup is available in lengths from 21' to 30', with GVWR's ranging from 5512 to 9790 lbs. A wide range of standard and optional features will make this an interesting addition to dealerships looking to market something from this industry leader. |
 |
|
Chinook
 |
Chinook, complete with a Wild West theme that included cowboys and cowgirls, showcased the Winchester, the company's most audacious concept vehicle to date. It's a one-of-a-kind, custom Baja, built on a Ford E-450 Chassis with 4X4 lift kit, off-road upgrades and a custom, wild-west amenities package.
The company also introduced a 21' Eagle and 24' Maverick motorhome, making Chinook a full-line Class C manufacturer. The Eagle and Maverick will be entry-level products that compliment the company's traditional high end offerings, giving dealers and customers a choice in price and value. |
|
National RV
 |
 |
|
National RV introduced their 2006 Tradewinds and Islander high-end products. The Tradewinds offers a 40' floorplan with triple slideouts with an 85" interior height, a high-tech electronics package with GPS and
OnStar, color rearview monitor, central vacuum system, a home theater system with flat-screen TV and innovative new dash design. |
|
Skyline
 |
 |
|
The best display for a non-product goes to Skyline, who announced that they will be converting their Leola, PA manufacturing facility into a full-line park model plant. Although not ready for the show, the new 12' wide park models are expected to be seen at many Spring shows once they begin coming off the manufacturing line in January.
Skyline also introduced a new nameplate, the Weekender.

Jayco
|
|
 |
|
A Jayco Baja folding camping trailer all decked out in camouflage motif. |
The Jayco Seneca HD Class C built on the Kodiak chassis with the Duramax diesel. This unit offers the luxury of a Class A with the price tag and maneuverability of a Class C. |
|
Starcraft
|
Starcraft continued to improve the Travel Star product line with the new 18SD toy hauler. |
 |
 |
|
|
They also introduced the economical Tahiti, designed especially for cost-conscious RVers who want affordability without compromising quality or accommodations. Two fifth wheels and four lightweight travel trailers all have at least one slideout and sleeping capacity that ranges from 6-10 people. |

Four Winds
 |
 |
|
Another beefed-up Class C was found in the Four Winds display. The popular Fun Mover was shown with the Chevrolet Kodiak Chassis with the Duramax 6.6L, 300 HP engine and exhaust brake. The interior is decked out in a racing motif that will be popular with racing enthusiasts and those who want to carry their toys with them on vacation or weekend retreats. |
