    Keystone Montana 3941FO

    Keystone has a track record for bringing innovative ideas and design elements to its legendary line of Montana fifth-wheels. Nowhere is that more evident than with the 3941FO floor plan, a magnificent setup for RVers who need to get a little—or a lot—of work done while on the road. The rig includes a palatial primary bedroom suite, a spacious kitchen and a living room with two sleeper sofas, power theater seating and a fireplace. Up front, you’ll find a dedicated office space with an L-shaped desk larger than those found in a lot of “real” offices. There’s room for a computer, monitor, printer and all your other tech, with space to spread out all your crucial documents, spreadsheets, secret files, etc. A sliding farm-style door provides privacy for those all-important Zoom calls, while built-in drawers and cabinets add storage. If your career has followed you out on the road, this is at least a nice spot to deal with it. MSRP: $137,153; keystonerv.com

    This Class A motorhome features a workspace at the rear of the vehicle that includes a small desk, storage cabinets and drawers and a place to mount a computer monitor on the wall. A set of sliding doors adds privacy and seclusion, but with the bedroom and kitchen separating the office from the main living area, it’s easy to take private conference calls without disturbing the rest of the crew.

    Airstream’s Flying Cloud is the rare travel trailer that offers a floor plan with a dedicated office. Located at the rear of the vehicle, the space is cozy but functional and includes a desk, a built-in charging station and storage cabinets and cubbies. For added flexibility, the space can be converted to a sleeping area and even comes with an office chair. As RVs with an office go, this one is especially accommodating.

    A lot of RVs have dinettes that can serve as a workstation, but Winnebago’s Class A model takes things a step beyond the usual. The king-size
    Murphy bed in the main bedroom folds out of the way, revealing a dinette/workspace underneath. This opens up the area, creating a large space that is both productive and collaborative. A sliding door provides easy access to the kitchen and bathroom. MSRP: $224,340; winnebago.com

  • The Ride: The Tiffin Phaeton is Outstanding in its Field

    When Bob Tiffin purchased a defunct RV manufacturer in 1972, he set out to build the best motor coaches ever to hit the road. And with a commitment to innovation and craftsmanship, many would say he succeeded. Tiffin Motorhomes became a pillar of the RV industry, but even Bob probably couldn’t have predicted the vehicles his company produces today.

    Consider the 2025 Class A Tiffin Phaeton, which combines cutting-edge technology, high-end materials, and excellent build quality to create a luxurious driving and living experience. The Phaeton sits on a Freightliner PowerGlide XC chassis and is powered by a Cummins L9 450HP engine. Paired with a six-speed Allison transmission, the motorhome promises smooth acceleration and precision control on highway and backcountry roads alike. Plus, with 1,250 lb-ft of torque, it can tow a dinghy vehicle with ease.

    The Phaeton comes in four floor plans, ranging in length from 37 feet 9 inches to 45 feet. The coach can comfortably sleep two to eight people depending on the configuration, and all but the smallest model comes with a second bathroom. Every rig ships with ample seating, including a dinette and a couch that converts to a bed. Optional theater seating is available, too.

    “With its size and sleeping capacity, this is a great option for retired couples and larger families who will love the multiple baths and optional front drop-down bunk,” says Emily Chatterson, product manager for Tiffin’s Class A line. “Regardless of the model, the Phaeton has a ton of storage.”

    Other amenities include an integrated central vacuum system, panoramic galley windows, a 25-cubic-foot residential refrigerator, ceiling fans and porcelain bathroom sinks. A mounted smart TV descends into a hidden compartment when not in use. Optional upgrades run to a dishwasher, a stacked washer and dryer and heated tile floors, giving the Tiffin Phaeton even more touches of class.

    All told, Bob’s vision is on a roll.

    The gas-powered Freedom Traveler is built on a Ford F-53 chassis and features a 7.3L V8 engine with 335 horsepower and 468 lb-ft. of torque. This gives the rig plenty of power out on the highway, allowing it to smoothly and confidently roll down the road. The B30 floor plan measures 31′ 11″ in length, making it an easy-driving Class A that won’t overwhelm first-time drivers or newbies to the RV space. And with generous holding tanks, an 88-gallon onboard propane tank, and 100W solar panel, you can set up camp just about anywhere you want.

    Inside, the Thor Freedom Traveler B30 features a spacious bedroom with a king-size mattress, a drop-down overhead bunk above the cockpit, and a comfy sofa that converts to a bed, allowing the coach to comfortably sleep six. The midship bathroom includes a skylight shower, a stainless steel sink, and a porcelain toilet. Meanwhile, the kitchen comes with a  three-burner stove, a microwave with an air fryer, a large single-basin sink, and an energy-efficient 12V double-door fridge. A pantry and wooden cabinets provide plenty of storage.

    Nearby, a spacious dinette pulls triple duty, making a great gathering point for meals or socializing, but also serving as a workspace for when you absolutely have to be productive on the road. LED lighting sips power while providing plenty of illumination, while residential vinyl flooring resists wear and tear and makes clean up a breeze. The B30 model is even equipped with an outdoor kitchen and TV, all under an 18′ powered awning.

    Of course, reading off a list of specs and features isn’t quite as much fun as seeing them for yourself.

  • Super C vs. Diesel Pusher: What’s the Best Choice for You?

    If you’re in a quandary about which RV is right for you, here’s a handy guide to help you decide. Both Super Cs and Diesel Pushers are High-End and Feature-Filled, but there are real differences that can make one the stand-out for your lifestyle. Here are the biggest factors to help you decide.

    Diesel vs. Diesel

    If you’re looking at both Super Cs and Diesel Pusher Class As, then you have already decided one important factor: Power. Diesel engines provide it is abundance. But the real question is what you want to do with all that power. This usually comes down to whether you want more storage capacity, or you’re looking for more towing power. If you need towing power, the Super C is clearly the winner. Most Class A Diesel Pushers tend to max out at 10,000 pounds of towing power. Super Cs can tow 20,000 or 30,000 pounds, or sometimes even more. If what you’re looking for is storage capacity, there’s generally not as much storage in a Super C as you get in Class A diesel pushers. This is due to the engine placement. In a Class Super C, the engine is up front. To transfer power,  there has to be a drive shaft that comes through the RV. And it extends back all the way to the rear wheels. Because of that, the drive shaft takes up vital pass-through storage area. In a diesel pusher you don’t have that issue because the engine’s in the back pushing the rig. So then, there’s no drive shaft going in between the two axles. As a result, you have complete pass-through storage along the underside of the coach.

    Engine Front or Engine Back

    This is an issue that really helps people choose because the differences caused can be so stark. As stated above, having an engine in the back of a Class A allows for greater storage area given the lack of a drive shaft. Likewise, that can also allow for more headroom and space in the coach in general, deeper slide-outs,  and wider structures. More room can often mean more room features like bigger bathrooms, dishwashers and washer/dryers. In addition, there’s simply the length the engine takes up at the front of a Super C. A forty-foot Super C will simply not have as much room inside as a forty-foot Diesel Pusher. On the other hand, servicing a Super C is as easy as driving into a garage that services commercial diesel trucks. The engine is easily exposed and familiar to truck mechanics. A Diesel Pusher will require specialist RV service. While we at Poulsbo RV have all the needed tech and Master RVIA service experience, an ordinary diesel garage will often not even consider working on a Class A. They  would have to go in the back bedroom and lift up the floor in order to access the engine. Most garages are not willing to even try.

    Driving

    That first quarter mile in any new RV is always intimidating. Some feel immediately more comfortable and safer in a Super C due to the enclosed feeling of a truck cab. It feels familiar if you’ve ever driven a pick-up truck—just bigger. We have found that most people getting into a Class A feel less secure for that first drive to the gas station. It feels so open and other cars are *right there*. But in general, most people get the feel for it fairly quickly. Most. In either case, given the current driver assist technology available for both classes, both are safe and getting safer to drive. It’s all about preference. In the end, a test drive is your best option to see what feels right for you.

    Comfort & Noise

    In terms of a comfortable ride, there is a difference. Super Cs are built on a commercial type truck chassis. So they tend to ride more like a commercial truck. Class A Diesel Pusher is known and loved for the ride. Generally, they have higher quality suspension systems. With that nice air suspension system as you’re going down the highway, you’re floating as you go. It’s the very definition of a comfortable ride.
    Noise can also be a problem in a Super C as well, just because of engine placement. The engine is right in front of you, as opposed to an engine placed thirty feet behind you. Admittedly, some people truly enjoy the sound of that big, powerful engine. For you, the noise is a feature, not a fault. As for the horn: Super C wins. No notes. Sorry Class As.

    Sleeping

    Class Cs, in general, are seen as the “Family Friendly” model of RV. And there is that sleeping space over the cab which the kids just love. Most Super Cs follow that line of design and provide lots of sleeping space. It’s a tradition, after all. But for sheer number of models available, Diesel Pushers have an almost 10 to 1 advantage; many designed for couples seeking luxury, but a fair number of bunkhouse models are available as well. In this case, it’s a toss-up. If you need more sleeping spaces, you can find them in either Super Cs or Class As. Oh, but there’s those fond over-the-cab memories to gift the next generation…

    The Verdict

    In the end, it’s always going to depend on your personal lifestyle needs. Both of these RVs are the best-of-the-best. Either one will bring you years of joy and adventure. When you come in to Poulsbo RV, there will be a knowledgeable staff member who will help guide you to the best fit for you. Focus on one or try them both! Safe and Happy Camping to you!

  • New for 2025: Tiffin Class A Motor Homes

    Class As are what brought Tiffin to fame. That and their unprecedented quality. And their attention to detail. Oh, and there’s the engineering done down in their hometown in Alabama, and Bob Tiffin’s own eye for warmth and luxury. Let’s just say that the Tiffin reputation is well-deserved and built into the company from the top down. Poulsbo RV and Tiffin Motorhomes have a longstanding partnership, for which we both grateful and proud. One of the reasons we know we can always depend on Tiffin: they, like us, are family-owned.
