As reported first in RV News’ June magazine, Rev Group’s Holiday Rambler has unveiled a new luxury Type A gas motorhome, the Eclipse. The model is available in three different floorplans and lengths.
Built on a 22,000-pound chassis, the Eclipse RV has a Ford 7.3-liter V8 engine that generates 350 horsepower at 468 pound-feet of torque. The Eclipse’s tow hitch is rated at 8,000 pounds.
“With the Eclipse RV, we have made standard a number of the most popular elements that are typically ‘add-ons,’” said Doug Miller, Rev Recreation Group’s Class A product manager.
Such standard features include a full-sized residential stainless-steel refrigerator, a king bed, and a Hide-A-Loft electric drop-down bed.
“The Hide-A-Loft inclusion is significant because it allows the RV to expand and grow with a family and makes it possible to bring extra guests on the road,” Miller said. “In fact, the drop-down bed is one of the top items on owners’ wish lists.”
A WiFiRanger antenna is included to boost an existing Wi-Fi signal. The motorhome’s multiplex system includes a larger format 7-inch digital display. The dash stereo includes a 10.1-inch tilt screen with Apple CarPlay and Android auto compatibility.
On the exterior, the Eclipse model has two air conditioners, slam latch luggage doors and is pre-wired to add solar panels. An exterior entertainment center with an LED TV and powered awnings are standard.
“In the industry, we refer to the important exterior elements as ‘caps, colors and chrome,’” Miller said. “We specifically designed the Eclipse model to have a striking exterior that makes it distinctive.”
Starting at the front, the grill has a more “aggressive” look with modern chrome accents, Holiday Rambler said. Full-body, four-color paint comes standard. Instead of a typical swirl pattern, the graphics have sharp lines and angles. The rear is a one-piece fiberglass cap with upgraded lighting features.
The Eclipse’s exterior color choices include: a red and gray color scheme; a silver and blue combination and gray with green accents.
The Eclipse motorhome is available in 32-foot, 34-foot and 35-foot lengths.
“The floorplans we created allow owners to pick the RV that best matches their travel and lifestyle needs,” Miller said. “We’ve got a multiple bath version, a bunkhouse option, and one layout that’s great for entertaining.”
- 32S: The 32-foot, twin-slide floorplan features two full baths, a Dream Dinette that converts from a table into a bed, plus a jack-knife sofa that turns into a bed. A large pantry in the kitchen provides storage.
- 34J: The 34-foot, single wall; full slide includes bunk beds with a rolling barn door; a Dream Dinette; a jack-knife sofa; full-length wardrobe in the master bedroom; an exterior kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, and sink; and pass-through luggage bays.
- 35R: The 35-foot is a twin-slide floorplan with theater seating, a jack-knife sofa, Dream Dinette and a large pantry. The RV also comes with a 2000-watt inverter.
The Eclipse model features wainscotting, accent panels, and feature walls. Consumers can choose from four different cabinetry types and three different interior décor packages. Tarkett flooring is used throughout the coach and the galley has solid-surface countertops.
The Eclipse from Holiday Rambler has a starting MSRP of $199,888.
