The small motorhome market is exploding, and for good reason. RVers are looking for something easier to drive, easier to park, and ready for adventure without giving up comfort.
In this episode of our "Does Size Really Matter?" review series, Mike and Jennifer Wendland take a close look at the all-new 2026 Tiffin Open Trail, one of the most talked-about small Class C motorhomes on the market today.
At just 26 feet long, the Open Trail skips the slides and focuses on smart design, rugged practicality, and adventure-ready capability. With twin beds, a huge rear garage for gear storage, and a layout clearly aimed at active travelers, this RV is built for people who want to go farther and stay longer.
But does smaller really mean better?
We walk you through:
• The full interior and exterior tour
• What we loved, and what we didn’t
• The giant rear garage and storage setup
• Sleeping comfort with twin beds
• Why no slides may actually be a huge advantage
• Who this RV is best suited for
• How it compares to Class B vans and other B+ motorhomes
This is part of our ongoing "Does Size Really Matter?" series, where we compare six premium small motorhomes, three Class B vans and three compact Class C/B+ RVs, provided by our friends at Sunshine State RVs in Gainesville, Florida.
If you’re shopping for a smaller motorhome for touring, camping, boondocking, or adventure travel, this review will help you decide if the Tiffin Open Trail deserves a spot on your shortlist.
► If you want help planning and organizing your own RV trips, we have put all our guides, tools, RV travel apps and checklists together in one place.
