2027 Eagle 45J floorplan
The all-new American Eagle 45J is a luxury diesel pusher designed for travelers who refuse to compromise on power, comfort or convenience.
“The American Eagle 45J combines flagship luxury, exceptional road capability and advanced technology in one refined package,” says Doug Miller, director of sales for American Coach. “Its 605-horsepower Cummins X15 engine, 1,950 pound-foot of torque, 20,000-pound hitch rating, a 74,000-pound gross combined weight rating and 150-gallon fuel tank support confident long-distance travel, while a spacious rear suite, walk-in closet, stackable laundry, flexible seating, Cambria quartz surfaces and Apex furniture create a true residential experience.”
Miller says the new coach boosts driving confidence with UltraSteer to reduce the coach’s turning radius and Select Drive steering. The RoadWatch safety suite offers adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation, active braking, traction control and electronic stability support. An upgraded Ghost Audio system and a 20-inch cockpit display further improve the driving experience.
Exterior enhancements include new full body colorways, a driver-side window with a power sliding toll window and wireless remotes for the power cord and water hose reels.
Power basement trays, push-button luggage locks and redesigned utility bays also elevate the experience.
Inside, matte black hardware is now standard, while chrome hardware is available as an option. American Coach also updated its decor offerings with the Appaloosa, Dakota and Black Walnut/Charcoal two-tone cabinetry selections while retiring the Arabella interior.
Additional decor choices now include the new Maybrooke package. The company updated the front air-conditioning system to a high-efficiency unit connected to the house battery system.
While performance remains a hallmark of the American Eagle, Miller says, the new 45J is equally focused on creating a true residential living environment. The rear suite features a walk-in closet, generous storage and washer/dryer prep.
Throughout the living area, buyers will find premium residential finishes, including Cambria quartz countertops, Apex custom furniture and a Fisher & Paykel induction cooktop.
The standard layout includes a 72-inch motion theater sofa, sleeper sofa and freestanding dinette, while multiple seating configurations allow owners to tailor the coach to their style.
Available options include multiple entertainment upgrades, additional TV configurations, several seating arrangements, booth or banquette dining, multiple stackable washer and dryer packages, an exterior freezer and a rear ladder.
Buyers can equip the Eagle with Starlink satellite connectivity, a technology package that includes a cellular booster and 330-watt solar panel, or a lithium battery package to support greater off-grid capability.
Additional personalization options include brushed bronze or chrome interior hardware, expanded exterior graphics and an available Blackout Package.
Miller says buyers increasingly want luxury coaches capable of extended off-grid travel, enhanced connectivity and premium residential comfort while maintaining driving performance.
Those insights helped shape the 2027 lineup, which places greater emphasis on off-grid capability, long-distance touring, residential amenities and advanced technology integration.
“American Coach’s MY2027 strategy is focused on refining the premium ownership experience, improving cockpit comfort, safety, connectivity, convenience and personalization, while retaining the high-output diesel platforms and residential interiors expected in the luxury Class A segment,” Miller says.
American Coach will display its 2027 lineup during the Elkhart Open House at 2707 County Road 15.

Fleetwood RV will introduce new floorplans across its Fortis, Frontier and Discovery models and expanded technology, safety, connectivity and personalization options throughout its Class A lineup. The updates emphasize residential living, family-friendly layouts and features that make life on the road more convenient.
According to Director of Sales Doug Miller, dealer and customer feedback played a key role in shaping Fleetwood’s MY2027 lineup. Specifically, they asked for versatile floorplans, a stronger residential experience, greater personalization and contemporary design, more emphasis on technology and improved driving confidence and everyday usability.
The all-new Fortis 35R expands the company’s gas Class A lineup with a floorplan that maximizes living space. Opposing slide rooms in the front create an open living area, while a private, rear king bedroom provides residential comfort. The coach also includes a Dream Dinette, jackknife sofa and available theater seating, along with 160 cubic feet of exterior storage.

Holiday Rambler Endeavor
Holiday Rambler made everyday livability the centerpiece of its 2027 lineup with coaches that maximize sleeping capacity, entertaining space and residential comfort.
“Overall, the most compelling MY2027 theme is greater livability for real-world travel: more sleeping capacity, flexible seating, residential conveniences, expanded storage, updated decor and stronger connectivity,” says Doug Miller, director of sales for Holiday Rambler. “Rather than introducing technology for its own sake, Holiday Rambler is making its coaches work better for families, guests and extended stays.”
He adds Holiday Rambler will debut the all-new Endeavor 38K and 38L diesel pushers and the new Invicta 35R gas Class A at this year’s Open House.
Miller says, “The all-new Endeavor 38K and 38L are Holiday Rambler’s most notable model year 2027 debut because they bring family-scale capacity to a premium diesel coach. The 38K and 38L’s bath-and-a-half floorplan includes a private rear bathroom, mid-coach powder room and 72-by-80-inch king bed.”
The 38K sleeps up to eight people, while the 38L accommodates up to six. Both floorplans feature a large rear owner’s suite with a king bed, dual wardrobes, a stackable washer and dryer, and a private rear bath.
Holiday Rambler redesigned the coach with new doors and drawers and added a pivot-style mid-bath door to improve traffic flow. Three new decor packages, two cabinetry selections and updated exterior graphics gives buyers more opportunities to personalize their coach. An exterior entertainment center with a TV and Bluetooth soundbar comes standard.
Buyers can also add Starlink satellite connectivity, choose chrome interior hardware in place of the standard black finish, and configure the 38K with features such as a freestanding dinette with credenza, motion power lounge, Hide-A-Loft bed and dishwasher.
Holiday Rambler is also expanding its gas-powered Class A lineup with the new Invicta 35R, a 36-foot coach.
“The new Invicta 35R offers a more approachable gas Class A centered on an open, seating-rich living area, a private king suite and the most exterior storage in the Invicta lineup,” Miller says.
“The fresh, vibrant interior and exterior decor create a bright and inviting look that sets it apart from other coaches in its category. It broadens Holiday Rambler’s MY2027 appeal by delivering residential comfort and entertaining space in a manageable 36-foot coach.”
The private rear owner’s suite includes a 72-by-74-inch king bed, dresser, wardrobe and dedicated CPAP storage.
Buyers can also select optional all-in-one or stackable laundry configurations.
With 160 cubic feet of exterior storage, the 35R offers the largest cargo capacity in the Invicta lineup.
The Invicta also features a 7-kW generator with automatic generator start and 2,000-watt inverter to replace the previous 5.5-kW unit; square windows with integrated blinds and hardwood window treatments; and offers six new full body paint selections.
Starlink satellite connectivity joins the options list for the entire Invicta lineup, while buyers can tailor seating arrangements to match their travel style.
Dealer and customer feedback played a key role in Holiday Rambler’s product development for 2027. According to Miller, buyers continue to seek residential comfort in a smaller footprint. This feedback led the company to focus on five key areas:
- Residential livability within manageable footprints
- Flexibility for different travel styles
- Stronger connectivity and app-based controls
- Greater driving confidence and safety
- Contemporary styling with expanded personalization options
Holiday Rambler will display its 2027 lineup during the Elkhart Open House at 2707 County Road 15.

Renegade RV
Headlining Renegade RV’s 2027 lineup is the all-new Explorer TS (Twin Screw) model, a luxury Class 8 Super C designed with maximum towing capacity, long-haul comfort and advanced technology.
According to Chris Cook, director of sales for Renegade RV, the Explorer TS was developed to meet changing customer expectations in the premium Super C market.
“Consumers are looking for greater towing capability, enhanced off-grid performance, long-distance travel comfort, residential amenities and advanced technology integration,” Cook says. “The Explorer TS meets those needs.”
Built on the Freightliner Cascadia 116 chassis, the Explorer TS introduces a second powered rear axle, or “Twin Screw” configuration, which increases carrying capacity while delivering a 30,000-pound towing capacity and enhanced driving stability. The coach also offers an optional cab-over bunk for more sleeping space.
The Explorer TS comes equipped with three roof-mounted air conditioners; a 12.5-kW generator; Aqua-Hot 450D hydronic heating; a 540Ah lithium battery system, scalable to 1,080Ah; and a 600-watt solar package, scalable to 1,000 watts. Standard equipment also includes Starlink, a recordable 360-degree camera system, and electric dump valves.
Renegade also continues to build on the success of the Verona and Veracruz models.
The Verona, built on the Freightliner M2-106 Plus chassis, receives two new triple-slide floorplans. The new 40VTB and 40VTR offer more layout choices and maximize interior living space.
Other updates include porcelain tile flooring throughout the coach, woven vinyl flooring in slide rooms, standard dual high-capacity lithium batteries for greater off-grid capability and an optional heated floor system. The cab-over bunk also becomes standard equipment for 2027. There is even ceramic window tint with IR rejection to reduce solar heat gain and improve interior climate control.
The Veracruz, built on the Ford F-600 chassis, also expands with two new floorplans.
The 33VDS features a redesigned living room and kitchen layout with more countertop space and improved dining accommodations. The 33VRS increases walk-around bedroom space, has more windows and three 200-watt solar panels that come standard for added off-grid capacity.
Cook says the Verona and Veracruz have been among Renegade’s strongest-performing products over the past year, reflecting continued demand for premium Super C coaches.
Renegade sees several trends shaping the motorhome market, including growing demand for greater towing confidence, extended off-grid capability, residential-style interiors and integrated technology.
“Renegade RV is maintaining its strength and fortifying its market position with the addition of new models and features like those in the Explorer TS,” Cook says.
At Open House, Renegade RV will be displaying at the company’s Customer Experience Center, 2707 County Road 15.
