Useful takeaways from this story.

Campsite’s first Class C, the 29AK, adapts the brand’s towable design features—extra storage, farmhouse-style kitchen elements, and a centralized control panel—to a motorhome layout.

Built on a Ford E-450 chassis, the 29AK offers a 7,500-pound towing capacity, a one-piece AlphaPly roof, NXT Composite sidewalls, and a Tekmodo composite floor backer for lighter, moisture-resistant construction.

Exterior design choices prioritize usable storage: square baggage doors with drop-down hinges, a large pass-through compartment, square heat-reflective windows, and an exterior kitchen with a mini fridge and pull-out griddle.

# What this announcement means Forest River's Campsite brand introduced its first Class C motorhome, the 29AK, bringing the features that made its travel trailers and fifth wheels popular into a motorized coach. The 29AK shows Campsite's emphasis on practical storage, user-focused details, and consistent equipment levels across model types.

# Design and interior features The 29AK keeps Campsite's interior signatures. The kitchen integrates a farmhouse-style sink with a high-rise pull-down faucet, a built-in air fryer, and a glass rinser. Pantry storage hidden behind the entertainment center reclaims space that many motorhomes leave unused.

The main living area uses a slide that houses a booth dinette and a sofa facing the entertainment center with an electric fireplace beneath. A cabover bunk remains part of the layout, but Campsite added cubby storage on the passenger side of the bunk—reducing bed length slightly but adding usable storage where cabovers often lack it.

A split bathroom sits mid-coach with linen storage, a tile-look shower surround, an oval undermount sink on a marble-look countertop, a matte black faucet, and a mirrored medicine cabinet. The bedroom at the rear contains a queen bed, a driver-side closet, overhead storage, and an additional wardrobe at the foot.

A Camp Command touchscreen mounted on the wall centralizes control of climate zones, water systems, tank levels, and lighting.

# Exterior and storage

# Construction and chassis The 29AK rides on a Ford E-450 chassis with a 7,500-pound towing capacity and a 22,000-pound GCWR. The roof uses a one-piece 35-mil AlphaPly membrane with a limited lifetime warranty. Sidewalls are NXT Composite with aluminum framing and high-density foam block insulation, a lighter wood-free approach that resists warping and reduces road noise. The floor system adds a Tekmodo composite backer over a plywood subfloor and aluminum framing for moisture- and mold-resistance.

# Why this matters for buyers

If you follow Campsite's product trajectory, the 29AK signals the brand's intention to compete in motorhomes using the same value and design priorities it applies to towables. Camping World expects the first models to arrive on dealer lots toward the end of September.

# First impressions to watch Look for real-world storage usability, how the composite construction performs over time, and whether Campsite maintains the same value proposition—features versus price—that has driven interest in its towables.
