11 Motorhomes Perfect for Pre-Game Parties

Image Caption:

Are you ready for some tailgating? As the big game approaches, and the opportunity to celebrate the event in style becomes a reality, we need look no further than our motorhomes for inspiration. With an on-board galley, comfortable seating and even clean facilities, a motorhome is a fantastic venue to host a viewing party. And, if you’re on the prowl for a new 2020 model, why not give a member of this team’s All-Pro motorhome squad a tryout?

Coachmen Mirada

RV.COM

The Mirada 32SS is packed with notable entertainment options for every watch party. Outside, visitors can enjoy the TV and exterior kitchen that includes a refrigerator, speakers, propane quick-connect and sink — all beneath the comfort of the 23-foot awning. Inside, the dual 15,000-Btu air conditioners with heat pumps keep partygoers cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The large chaise sofa, dinette and swivel captain’s chairs provide impressive amounts of entertainment space and the ability to sleep up to eight. The fireplace and TV offer residential flair, even when the slide is closed. At night, the bedroom closes off from the rest of the interior for privacy, while the walk-around king bed with end tables and charging ports on both sides provide a comfortable night’s sleep.

Dynamax Isata 5

RV.COM

The Isata 5 28SS 4×4 with the XPlorer Package ($14,775) is designed with tailgaters in mind. Getting to any tailgating spot is a breeze with the Dodge 5500 4WD chassis and, at less than 31 feet in length, negotiating parking lots should not be an issue.

RV.COM

No power hookups? No problem. Lithium batteries with a 400AH rating offer maximum off-grid efficiency and power, while built-in heaters keep the battery hold warm. Add in 800 watts of solar panels paired with a Maximum Power Point Tracking controller for up to 30% better charging efficiency (according to the company) and you have the potential to tailgate before, during and after the game. Hosting tailgating guests is easy with the optional exterior kitchen featuring a refrigerator, sink and induction cooktop. Whether using the standard Winegard ConnecT 2.0 Dome Antenna for extended Wi-Fi coverage (depending on signal) to check in-depth stats online or the optional Winegard In-Motion T4 Satellite Dish for viewing, you can catch all the action on the exterior TV located under the dual-pitch Carefree of Colorado awning.

Newmar Bay Star

RV.COM

No amount of training can prepare you for inclement weather. The game changes as Mother Nature makes the ball slippery, the field soggy and the passing game almost null. If the weather turns foul for the big day, not to worry: Newmar’s Bay Star 3414 features a spacious interior with plenty of seating and top-shelf electronics. The front driver’s-side slideout houses the 87-inch jackknife sofa and the dinette, while the large Samsung LED TV and one of the motorhome’s two Blu-ray players are located in a lift in the living area. Options for a Bose sound bar, extra TVs and a WiFi Ranger router/booster should appeal to the electronics crowd. The split-bath configuration helps keep the crowd moving at halftime. There is also an option for an exterior kitchen, in case the weather decides to cooperate with your plans.
