A THIRD round of awards have been given, and once again, 2026 New Poulsbo RV Models are featured!
Known as the, “Voice of the RV Business,” RV NEWS is a trusted voice, guiding Sellers of RVs to the best options for their customers.
But, to be honest, we already knew these were going to be winners.
2026 RV NEWS Best Destination Trailer: Forest River Lost Pines Hemlock
First inspired by the pine forests of Upper Michigan – so very much like our own Upper Peninsula here in Washington State – the design of the Lost Pines is unique, different from any other destination trailer on the market. The vision for Lost Pines is to combine the very best rugged outdoor aesthetics with breath-taking, spacious interiors.
“Lost Pines is not so much a place as it is a state of mind,” said Curtis Gunter, Lost Pines General Manager. “It’s for those who crave a deep connection to the outdoors but still desire exceptional craftsmanship and refined interior spaces. We set out to create a trailer that delivers both.”
2026 RV NEWS Best Destination Trailer: Forest River Cedar Creek Cottage 423FWC
Last year’s RV NEWS RV of the Year, this all new model has made the winner’s ring again.
Designed with an open-concept look, difficult to pull off in any kind of RV, the wide doors and high ceilings will make you feel like your destination trailer really *is* that second home. Plus, the unique Fifth Wheel structure will help you reach your destination with all the ease and maneuverability for which fifth wheels are traditionally famous.
2026 RV NEWS Best Adventure Van: Tiffin Motorhomes Open Trail 25AO
At the unveiling of the Open Trail, there were comments like, “I think it was made for the zombie apocalypse,” and, “It’s bad to the bone.” One look and you can easily see yourself churning through the most rugged terrain in the wildest adventure of your life.
In a Class C!
To keep you ready off the road, the Open Trail comes with fully custom black aluminum Tiffin adventure wheels, a rugged off-road front bumper, and a 12,000 lb. winch with front and rear recovery points, for when the road gets real.
Picture yourself coming in to rescue your fellow traveler. Nice, huh.
Inside is a clean design, with everything you need for a comfortable trip, plus storage everywhere you look. You’ll have room for extended supplies and gear with the Open Trail’s 90 cubic feet of storage. That under-bed garage can hold all your sports equipment, supplies and more!
2026 RV NEWS Best Travel Trailer: Forest River Un-Mapped 24RK
For more than 15 years, we at Poulsbo RV have been carrying the Forest River R•Pod line. Built at their nearby Hood River plant, that small, well-built tear-drop design is an ever-popular part of our line. Then we added the No•Boundaries line, to gain their rugged towables and destination designs meant to head further off-road than we ever imagined.
And now, we are pleased to add the latest member of the R•Pod Family to our lineup: the Un•Mapped!
The Un•Mapped are a lineup of bigger, half-ton trailers with more space, smart layouts and new features found nowhere else. Let’s start with the Trailgate system. Instead of just pairing up an entertainment system with an exterior kitchen, the Un•Mapped debuts the new outdoor bar setup that maximizes seating space while providing an area to prepare food and entertain guests.
PLUS! It pairs up on the inside with the Bar2Table feature, which comes complete with a flip-up, food truck-style window for open air dining and pristine views. Extend the pull-out table, and seat four in front of the flip-out window.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS!
If you want to see any of these amazing new models, just give us a call. We’ll set you up and help you decide which is the right RV for you!
