2025 What’s New – Motorized

Trends in motorhomes are mimicking those in towables. Smaller, increasingly lightweight, and very off-road capable vans dominate this year’s What’s New list. The number of Class B off-road versions available has increased as more and more RVers pursue a much more active and adventurous RVing lifestyle.

A strange development in the sale of motorhomes has come about with the adoption of the Advanced Clean Truck Regulation by six States. In short, as of January 1, 2025, California, Oregon, Washington, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey will no longer allow the sale of motorhomes. The program was aimed at big diesel trucks driven around the clock, not low-mileage recreational vehicles. This new law does not ban motorhomes from these states—just the sale of them.

Some other trends to note: becoming common are central touchscreen control panels that can manage lighting, climate and more, often with smartphone integration. New models are getting Whisper Quiet air conditioners that are also more energy efficient. Tankless water heaters are also becoming more commonplace, providing a continuous hot water supply and saving space. Watch for more RVs offering a plug-in-hybrid design with a gasoline range extender providing a combined range of about 800 kilometres.

What follows is a small selection of what I found interesting about what’s new in motorhomes for the coming year. Enjoy.

Class C – 2025 Jayco Granite Ridge 22T

The Granite Ridge Class C is built for rugged exploration and adventure with an all-wheel drive chassis and lift kit. Two-inch walls, enclosed holding tanks and dual-pane acrylic windows extend your trips into the cold weather. Built on the Ford Transit 350HD AWD chassis, it’s powered by the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 that puts out 310 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. The Transit offers advanced safety features like intelligent adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, forward collision warning, post-collision braking, driver/passenger airbags, and tire pressure monitoring. It includes Hellwig Helper Springs, which maintains the proper ride height, increases overall safety, minimizes body roll, and provides a quiet ride.

Inside, you’ll find a 38-by-48-inch dinette lounge with swivel driver/passenger seats. Two twin-size beds with filler cushions convert to a king-size bed, so you can sleep two people separately or easily make a large bed. Options available include a 7-foot rear awning, pull-out kitchen, Starlink satellite internet system, a pop-top for additional sleeping space, or a 32-inch smart LED TV with cab and bedroom mounts.

The Rapid Camp+ Multiplex System is a standard feature in the AXIS. This setup lets you easily stay on top of your motorhome’s functions from one convenient location.

Class C – 2025 Grand Design Lineage 25FW

The new Lineage 25FW may be considered compact; however, many of its features are nothing but. In a length of just 25′, would you expect to find a King-size bed? Or a 10-cu.ft. refrigerator? Well, Grand Design has figured out a way to include them. It helps that the Lineage has a large driver-side slide out, making the most of the Mercedes chassis it builds on. It also features the exclusive MORryde Steel Halo Chassis uplift. This Sprinter 4500 chassis cab is powered by a 2L twin-turbo inline-four diesel engine pushing 208 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque through a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Class B – 2025 Entegra Coach Launch

Entegra Coach is launching an off-road Class B designed for those who love adventure. It’s in line with the current trend, using an MB Sprinter 2500 AWD chassis, all-terrain tires, and a cutting-edge lithium battery system to get you out into the wild.

Safety-first features include a 360-degree camera, backup camera, active distance, active lane-keeping assist, crosswind assist, tire pressure monitoring, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.

At the heart of the Launch is the Lithionics Battery® system (a 48V 165-amp-hour smart lithium battery providing 7.9KW hours of power). The battery can be charged through an alternator and solar panels, so you’re never without power on the road.

Interior comes with Tecnoform European-style cabinets. Integrated pull-outs increase the countertop space and easily tuck away when not in use.

Class C – 2025 Winnebago View 24T

For 2025, the popular View gets a new floorplan – the 24T, the key feature of which is reclining seats that fold over into a Murphy Bed.

This motorhome also has an over-cab queen-sized bed with air conditioning for additional sleeping space. Or you can opt for a low-profile option to increase the carrying capacity. The dinette area features a fold-down table and collapsible chairs, allowing you to have more floor space in the living area.
