The chef will love cooking with this motorhome! They can choose to cook either indoors with the three burner cooktop and flip-up countertop or head to the outside kitchen to breathe in some fresh air while they grill up some juicy burgers on the cooktop.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Absolutely amazing and so kind!

Absolutely amazing and so kind! We have a hybrid travel trailer and we were getting tossed around traveling from the Denver area to Miles City Mt. During the trip we had a mishap with an hidden and illplaced clearance bar that resulted in roof damage and antenna damage. We called them from Douglas, Wy to see if they could at least install an anti-sway system. They were ready for us the minute we pulled - Lindsay
