After much deliberation, the RV Suite by Forest River brands Ibex and No Boundaries (NoBo) has been named the RV of the Year by RVBusiness staff and consultants.

In fact – and in true transparency – there was not a clear consensus among the jury as the debate lasted for nearly a full week following the Elkhart RV Open House. The simple reason is this: The RV industry stepped up to the plate this year, with several contenders emerging after the RVB staff reviewed well over 100 units at the Elkhart RV Open House.

In the end, though, after a few black eyes and bruised egos, the RV Suite earned top honors in large part because it truly stands out for being different – yet not to the point where it was either too expensive or too outlandish.

That’s not to say the RV Suite was singled out only for boldly pushing the design envelope. Indeed, the unit is a successful execution of a comfortable, functional, tech-laden, extended-stay basecamp for adventure.

Is it the “Revolutionary Leap in Modern Camping” as Forest River officials would have you believe?

To answer that, let’s turn to Product Manager Cody Schade, who oversees the Ibex, NoBo and R-Pod lines for Forest River.

“The RV Suite is not merely a travel trailer,” Schade explained. “It is a comprehensive living solution that combines the adventurous spirit of camping with the convenience and sophistication of a high-end apartment. It heralds a new era in outdoor experiences, offering a glimpse into the future of eco-conscious yet luxurious travel.”
