The Open Range Colt 13BH CTR and Coachmen Clipper 12RD 2026 models hit the market at $8,999 and $9,999 respectively. Both include kitchen and bathroom, but differ in length, weight and sleeping capacity.

Two affordable 2026 campers have been introduced in the US, each priced well below the average new car.

Open Range Colt 13BH CTR

  • Price: $8 999 (MSRP $20 693)
  • Length: 16 ft
  • Curb weight: 3 700 lbs
  • Sleeps: 4
  • Features: kitchen, bathroom, air conditioner

Coachmen Clipper 12RD

  • Price: $9 999
  • Length: 12 ft
  • Curb weight: 2 544 lbs
  • Sleeps: 3
  • Features: kitchen, bathroom

Both campers offer full amenities on a tight budget. The Coachmen Clipper costs half as much as the cheapest new car in America — the Hyundai Venue.

Chrysler Pacifica Grizzly Peak: Off-road minivan may enter production

Chrysler is considering series production of the Pacifica Grizzly Peak concept, an off-road minivan with all-wheel drive and raised suspension. First shown in 2025, the project has gained momentum internally. Ground clearance is increased by nearly 7 cm, it rides on BFGoodrich off-road tires on 18-inch wheels, and rear seats are replaced by a storage or sleeping module. The powertrain is expected to be the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 without a hybrid option.
