Greatest recognized for its giant, luxurious motorhomes, Tiffin has slowly adopted its company sibling Airstream in branching out right into a extra adventurous realm. And it hasn’t achieved so by constructing a boundless stretched Class A glamper bus, the likes of the Loki Coach, however by diving into the smaller finish of the motorhome market. Including to final yr’s GH1, this yr it grows its “Journey” lineup with each a larger camper van and the all-new Open Path Class B+ all-terrain camper bus, a compelling super-sized hard-wall camper van with off-road chops and two sleeping areas.
Whereas Airstream has been busy including singular architectural style to its lineup, Tiffin has been seeking to rip off its work garments, throw on its most rugged, broken-in Mountain Khakis, and straight play within the mud and grime. It is extra enjoyable there, in any case.
Final yr, Tiffin threw down with the Winnebago Revel; this yr it is coming for the Ekko. The Open Path seems like a compelling competitor that carries a roomy, comfy dwelling atop a rugged Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 AWD dually cutaway chassis.

The large benefit of stepping exterior the manufacturing facility van field lies in making a roomier inside area that lives extra like a brief abode, much less like a motorized vehicle. At 25.5 ft (7.8 m) lengthy, the Open Path is 2.5 ft (76 cm) longer than the extended-length GH2 camper van, and it additionally flares out to a rear physique width of 84 in (213 cm), an additional 4 inches (10 cm) over the Sprinter manufacturing facility van. Tiffin’s roof stands a foot increased and spills over the cab with a small storage alcove to create additional inside area.
Tiffin anchors the 25 AO flooring plan, the one Open Path configuration obtainable at launch, with a set rear bed room area that features two raised twin beds that convert into a correct 76 x 80-in (193 x 203-cm) king utilizing heart cushions. The rear area additionally consists of overhead storage cupboards, his and her under-bed closets and studying lights.

Daytime residing occurs on the entrance finish, the place Tiffin expands upon the idea of a entrance dinette with an L-shaped couch that wraps the eating desk and swivel cab seats. The couch transforms over right into a single mattress at night time, giving the Open Path 25 AO a considerably awkward sleeping capability of three folks.
The Open Path seats 4 each at camp and on the highway, so a bigger entrance mattress looks like it’d have been a pure. As is, the 25 AO flooring plan appears greatest for a pair who may deliver a visitor or little one alongside often, like a set of grandparents. A fourth berth would open it up a bit extra to a standard household of 4, a pair inviting different {couples} alongside on journeys, or those self same grandparents after they welcome a second grandkid. Maybe Tiffin will add a four-berth flooring plan individually, however we suppose a small little one might in all probability match between the adults on that rear king mattress to create a brief four-sleeper association.

Whereas the sleeping facilities appear on the slim facet, the moist toilet seems barely bigger than it must be, that includes a full-width self-importance sink space throughout from a nook bathroom.
The Open Path galley stands towards the passenger facet wall, simply aft of the facet entry door. It brings a premium format with a normal single-burner induction cooktop, 297-L dual-hinged fridge/freezer, chrome steel microwave/air fryer, and chrome steel sink with hideaway faucet. A big countertop extension ensures there’s loads of area to slice and cube.

While you see an induction cooktop as commonplace gear, you recognize there’s some stable electrical bones down under, and the Open Path would not disappoint. It comes commonplace with a 270-Ah Battle Born lithium battery pack, 3,000-W inverter and optionally available twin 200-W photo voltaic panel system. A Spyder Controls Multiplex system with central monitor sends that energy the place it must go, and a Firefly Integrations Mira module beams it out for Bluetooth-connected smartphone management.
As an alternative of going all-in on electrical energy as has turn out to be stylish, Tiffin hedges its bets by together with a 3.2-kW diesel generator as backup. Consumers may also decide as much as a heavier responsibility electrical system with extra lithium battery capability.
Different essential onboard {hardware} consists of hydronic water/cabin heating, Aqua View water recirculation for extra environment friendly off-grid water utilization, commonplace Starlink prewiring with an optionally available Starlink Mini satelliite dish, a 15,000-BTU air conditioner with warmth pump, and 197-L contemporary and waste water tanks.

Tiffin would not go too loopy on the outside however does make certain the Open Path distinguishes itself from the highway-oriented members of its better motorhome household. That begins off with the daring minimize of the chin, a heavy-duty off-road bumper, and continues via LT 245/70R 16 tires under ruggedized decrease panels and out of doors the operating boards. A full-length roof rack offers some severe carry area overhead, and a Girard awning rolls out to ship shade. The usual suspension comes with Sumo Springs on the rear, and an Agile Offroad improve package is offered optionally.
As ordinary, Tiffin would not slap an MSRP on this one with out requiring some legwork from events (i.e. print out your configuration of selection and hoof it to the dealership). That stated, we did catch a listing value just below US$185,000 through an internet itemizing earlier than it received pulled offline, which is cheaper than we anticipated. Assuming that value is not closely revised by the point the subsequent gross sales advert pops up, that is a stable $60K cheaper than the 2025 Winnebago Ekko Sprinter 23B and cheaper nonetheless than Tiffin’s personal GH2.
We’ll look to replace as soon as we spot a broadcast value once more to see if Tiffin hasn’t reworked it increased.
