The Open Range sleeps four and answers with 200 W of solar, four-point LevelLoc leveling, a 60,000 BTU tankless water heater, ducted heat into the underbelly and a far larger gray tank, 114 gallons against 78.

The Reflection runs around $94,000 and the Open Range around $87,000. For roughly $7,000 more, the Reflection adds the third slide, ABS and the cold-weather package.
