With 17 unique floor plans to choose from, there’s an Open Range Colt for just about everyone. For instance, the compact and lightweight 17BH bunkhouse model is small enough to be towed by a mid-size SUV, yet comfortably sleeps six. Or the couples-friendly 21QB, which includes a residential queen bed, along with a jack-knife sofa and a dinette. And for those looking for a bit more space, the 33RLT includes a private bedroom with an optional king bed, a spacious bathroom, an island kitchen, and a rear lounge that includes a couch, theater seating, a smart TV, and a fireplace.
The Colt’s long list of standard features includes hardwood cabinets and solid surface countertops, residential-style appliances, including energy-efficient 12V refrigerators, and tankless water heaters. Each of the floor plans includes vinyl flooring throughout, queen-size beds in the primary sleeping space, and marine-grade foot-flush toilets and tub/showers in the bathroom. An 8,000 BTU air conditioning unit and a 19,000 BTU furnace keep the interior comfortable and cozy in a variety of weather conditions, while built-in stabilizer jacks provide safety and stability at the campground. Optional upgrades include more powerful HVAC systems, off-grid solar packages, aluminum rims, theater seating or tri-fold sofas, and more.

As already noted, one of the defining features of the Open Range Colt line of travel trailers is the price. These new towables have an MSRP that starts at just $16,343, making them an affordable option for first-time buyers and families who are new to the RV camping space. But the numerous floor plans also have options that will appeal to veteran RVers, too, offering a range of amenities that often aren’t available in rigs of this size and price.
