The Best Class B RVs for 2027: A Complete Guide

A Class B motorhome integrates a kitchen, bed and bathroom into a van-based footprint and drives like the production van it started as. In the 2027 lineups here, lengths run from 17 feet 10 inches to 24 feet 5 inches.

For 2027 the two manufacturers covered here field nine lines between them. Jayco builds the Comet, Solstice, Swift and Terrain. Entegra Coach builds the Arc, Ethos, Expanse, Insignia and Launch. Across those nine, three chassis do the work: the RAM ProMaster on the compact vans, the Ford Transit AWD 350HD for gas all-wheel drive and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter AWD for the diesel vans. Lithium battery configurations are offered on several lines alongside AGM battery and generator configurations.

This guide sorts the 2027 lineup into four groups: all-wheel-drive vans, the luxury van, flexible-floorplan vans and compact vans. Specifications below are taken from the manufacturers' 2027 model pages as of this writing; confirm equipment on the specific unit, because it varies by floorplan and options change during a model year.

2027 Power and Drivetrain Choices

Three things on the 2027 pages shape the shopping decision. Power systems are a floorplan-level choice. The Jayco Terrain offers lithium floorplans with a 3,000-watt Victron inverter and a 48-volt smart alternator alongside AGM floorplans with a generator and propane. Separately, the Entegra Coach Launch offers lithium floorplans with Victron power management and a 48-volt smart alternator alongside AGM floorplans with generator backup and propane, and Entegra Coach describes the Ethos lithium package as propane-free and fully electric. Firefly coach control appears on the Solstice, Swift, Terrain, Ethos, Expanse and Insignia. All-wheel drive appears on both gas and diesel platforms: the Ford Transit AWD 350HD on the Solstice and Expanse and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter AWD on the Terrain, Launch and Insignia.

The Adventurer's Choice: All-Wheel-Drive Vans

These three vans use all-wheel-drive chassis.

Jayco Terrain

The Terrain rides on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 AWD van with a 144-inch wheelbase, a 2.0L four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel rated at 211 horsepower and 332 lb-ft, a 9-speed automatic and a 5,000-pound hitch. It is 23 feet 6 inches long. The power system is a floorplan choice: the 19A and 19Y carry a 48-volt, 165-amp-hour lithium battery Jayco rates at 7.9 kWh, a 3,000-watt Victron inverter and a 48-volt smart alternator dedicated to charging it, while the 19AG and 19YG carry two 12-volt AGM batteries, a 2,000-watt inverter and a 2,500-watt LP generator with auto-gen start. All four floorplans get 200 watts of roof solar, Firefly coach control, a 12-volt refrigerator, a portable induction cooktop, a Timberline hydronic heating system and an 18,000 BTU variable-speed air conditioner. Outside are all-terrain tires on black aluminum wheels, a roof ladder and a front LED light bar, and the rear gear garage has L-track tie-downs and a powered drop-down bed above it. The 19A and 19AG add a 74-inch front sofa that converts to a bed.

Entegra Coach Launch

The Launch uses a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 AWD van with a 144-inch wheelbase, a 2.0L four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel rated at 211 horsepower and 332 lb-ft, a 9-speed automatic and a 5,000-pound hitch, in a 19-foot-6-inch, 81.75-inch-wide van that sleeps two. Its four floorplans split by power system: the 19A and 19Y use a lithium battery with Victron power management and a 48-volt smart alternator, the 19AG and 19YG use AGM batteries with generator backup and propane. A drop-down overhead bed rated at 750 pounds stows away to open the living space by day.

Entegra Coach Expanse

The Expanse brings all-wheel drive to a gas platform: a Ford Transit AWD 350HD with a 148-inch wheelbase, a 3.5L EcoBoost V6 rated at 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft, a 10-speed automatic, a 3.73 limited-slip axle and Hellwig helper springs. It is 22 feet long and 86 inches wide, sleeps two and comes in two floorplans: a power-sofa layout with a propane galley and the 21T with twin beds that convert to a king and a more all-electric setup with a larger inverter. A Truma Combi Eco Plus handles heat and hot water and a 13,500 BTU Coleman-Mach 10 air conditioner cools the cabin.

The Luxury Van

Entegra Coach Insignia

The Insignia is Entegra Coach's executive van. It is built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 XD AWD chassis with the 211-horsepower diesel, a 9-speed automatic and a 5,000-pound hitch, in a single 24B floorplan that measures 24 feet 5 inches long and 85.5 inches wide and sleeps two. A custom side-molded body kit gives the exterior its clean line. Inside, a rear power sofa converts to a 68-by-76-inch bed, a Firefly touchscreen centralizes coach functions and buyers choose between Sedona and Flagstaff decor. The E-Z Drive Elite package adds a heavy-duty rear stabilizer bar and custom-tuned rear leaf springs.

The Versatile Voyager: Flexible Floorplans

The Transit- and ProMaster-based models here offer several sofa, twin-bed, king-bed and Murphy-bed arrangements.

Jayco Solstice

The Solstice is built on a Ford Transit AWD 350HD with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 at 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft and a 10-speed automatic, at 22 feet long. It carries a 2,800-watt gas generator, 200 watts of roof solar and two 12-volt AGM house batteries, with a 2,000-watt inverter on the 21T. Firefly total coach control, a 13,500 BTU air conditioner, a 12-volt refrigerator, a portable induction cooktop and the Aqua View SHOWERMI$ER water-saving shower system are standard, and a Truma Combi Eco Plus provides heat and hot water. The 21T's two 23-by-76-inch twin beds convert to a 61-by-76-inch bed, and its refrigerator sits just inside the sliding door. JRide on the Solstice consists of Hellwig helper springs.

Jayco Swift

The Swift rides on a RAM ProMaster 3500 with a 3.6L V6 rated at 276 horsepower and 250 lb-ft, a 9-speed automatic and a 3,500-pound hitch. Both floorplans, the 20E and 20L, are 20 feet 11 inches long and sleep two with a full kitchen and a rear wet bath; the 20L places a king-size bed midship. Standard equipment includes a 2,800-watt gas generator, two AGM house batteries, a 2,000-watt inverter, Firefly Multiplex control, a 13,500 BTU air conditioner, SHOWERMI$ER and a Truma Combi G Comfort Plus. An optional pop-top on the 20E doubles sleeping capacity, and 200-watt or 250-watt roof solar packages are on the options list.

Entegra Coach Ethos

The Ethos is Entegra Coach's ProMaster 3500 van, 20 feet 11 inches long and 82.5 inches wide, sleeping up to three, with sofa, Murphy-bed and twin-to-king sleeping arrangements across its floorplans. Its available lithium package is described as propane-free and fully electric. The model also lists Firefly control and the SHOWERMI$ER shower system.

The Compact Cruiser

For many first-time RVers the barrier is size. These two are the shortest vans in the two lineups.

Jayco Comet

At 17 feet 10 inches, the Comet is the shortest van in the Jayco lineup. It rides on a RAM ProMaster 1500 with a 136-inch wheelbase, the 3.6L V6 at 276 horsepower and a 3,500-pound hitch, sleeps two and comes in 18C and 18L floorplans. A 2,000-watt inverter, two AGM house batteries and a Truma Combi G Comfort Plus water heater and furnace are standard; the 18L carries 400 watts of roof solar while the 18C carries a 2,800-watt gas generator with a 200-watt panel optional. In the 18C, the cabin has a 54-inch sofa and 27-inch bench with a swiveling passenger seat, an adjustable table with multiple mounts that doubles as a desk, a portable induction cooktop and a rear wet bath with a cassette toilet and flip-down sink.

Entegra Coach Arc

The Arc uses a RAM ProMaster 1500 with a 136-inch wheelbase, the 3.6L V6 at 276 horsepower and a 3,500-pound hitch, and measures 17 feet 10 inches by 82.5 inches, sleeping two. Its two floorplans are the 18C and the new 18L. The 18C includes a rear sofa bed, a cassette-toilet bathroom, a portable induction cooktop and the SHOWERMI$ER shower system.

2027 Chassis Quick Reference

Fuel tanks as listed: 24 gallons of gasoline on the ProMaster vans, 25 gallons on the Transit vans and 24.5 gallons of diesel plus a 5.8-gallon DEF tank on the Sprinter vans.

Which Class B Is Right for You?

Start with the chassis question, because it decides most of the rest. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, the Terrain, Launch and Insignia, are the diesel all-wheel-drive group with 5,000-pound hitch receivers. The Ford Transit AWD vans, the Solstice and Expanse, are the gas all-wheel-drive group. The ProMaster-based Comet, Swift, Arc and Ethos use gas 3.6L V6 chassis and list 3,500-pound hitch receivers.

Then decide how you want to power the van. The Jayco Terrain offers lithium configurations alongside AGM configurations with generator and propane support. Entegra Coach offers the same kind of split on the Launch and describes the Ethos lithium package as propane-free and fully electric. Compare current dealer pricing rather than assuming one configuration costs less.

Browse the Class B motorhomes overview, then take the Class B finder quiz to match a 2027 floorplan to your travel style. Related guides: Starlink for RVs, RV solar and boondocking. If you are weighing a van against a Class C, the Class C guide and the motorhome buying guide compare the types.

Still Shopping a 2026 Class B?

Some dealers may still have 2026 vans, and availability and pricing vary by location. The 2027 pages are the current specification source, so compare the specific unit rather than assuming a 2026 matches its 2027 successor.

A 2026 Terrain: confirm which power system the unit carries, since the 2027 line splits lithium and AGM by floorplan, and confirm the heating system and hitch rating.

A 2026 Solstice or Swift: confirm the chassis, the generator and solar equipment fitted and which JRide components are installed, since the 2027 pages list Hellwig helper springs.

A 2026 Comet: confirm the heating system and the solar and generator configuration, which differ between the 2027 18C and 18L.

A 2026 Entegra Coach van: the 2027 lineup lists the Arc, Ethos, Expanse, Insignia and Launch; check whether the 2026 unit's floorplan carried over and compare its power system against the 2027 page. Our guide to the best time to buy an RV explains how model-year clearance pricing typically works.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the RAM ProMaster, Ford Transit and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis? In the 2027 lineups here, the Sprinter is the diesel all-wheel-drive platform on the Terrain, Launch and Insignia, with a 5,000-pound hitch receiver; the Terrain and Launch list a 2.0L twin-turbo four-cylinder rated at 211 horsepower and the Insignia lists a 2.0L inline four-cylinder at the same rating. The Transit AWD 350HD is the gas all-wheel-drive platform, a 3.5L EcoBoost V6 rated at 310 horsepower, on the Solstice and Expanse. The ProMaster is the gas platform on the Comet, Swift, Arc and Ethos, a 3.6L V6 rated at 276 horsepower with a 3,500-pound hitch receiver.

Are Class B RVs good for off-road or winter camping? The Terrain, Launch, Insignia, Solstice and Expanse use all-wheel-drive chassis. For winter shopping, verify each unit's holding-tank protection and heating equipment: the Terrain lists a Timberline hydronic system and several vans list Truma Combi units for heat and hot water.

What is a lithium package and do I need one? On the Jayco Terrain, the 19A and 19Y floorplans carry a 48-volt, 165-amp-hour lithium battery, a 3,000-watt Victron inverter and a 48-volt smart alternator in place of the AGM-and-generator setup on the 19AG and 19YG. Entegra Coach's Launch lists lithium with Victron power management and a 48-volt smart alternator on its 19A and 19Y, with AGM, generator and propane on the 19AG and 19YG. Entegra Coach describes the Ethos lithium package as propane-free and fully electric. A lithium configuration suits owners who want to camp without running a generator or who spend extended time away from shore power.

How much can a Class B motorhome tow? The Sprinter-based vans here list 5,000-pound hitch receivers and the ProMaster-based vans list 3,500 pounds. The 2027 pages for the Transit-based Solstice and Expanse do not list a hitch rating. Confirm the specific unit's allowable trailer weight and GCWR before towing.

What is new in 2027 Class B RVs? The 2027 pages establish current configurations rather than year-over-year changes. What they show: nine lines across the two manufacturers, lithium-or-AGM floorplan choices on the Terrain and Launch, a propane-free lithium package on the Ethos, a new 18L floorplan on the Entegra Coach Arc and Firefly coach control on six of the nine vans.

Can a Class B RV be used as a daily vehicle? The compact vans are the candidates. The Comet and Arc are 17 feet 10 inches long, and Jayco describes the Comet as handling like a daily driver. Confirm parking fit and driver-assistance equipment on the specific unit.

What are JRide and E-Z Drive? Ride and handling packages added to the base van. On the 2027 Class B vans, Jayco's JRide is Hellwig helper springs, with a heavy-duty suspension noted on the Swift. Entegra Coach's E-Z Drive Elite on the Insignia adds a heavy-duty rear stabilizer bar and custom-tuned rear leaf springs. The manufacturers position both as ride-and-handling aids; how much difference you feel depends on the van and the load.

The 2027 Class B lineups from Jayco and Entegra Coach run from a 17-foot-10-inch compact van to a 24-foot-5-inch diesel all-wheel-drive van, with lithium and AGM power configurations across them. Take the Class B quiz to narrow it to a floorplan, then find your local dealer and see it in person.
