Why the Coachmen Nova Is a Smart Choice for First-Time RV Buyers
Stepping into the RV lifestyle is exciting—but picking your very first rig can feel like a big decision. You want something easy to drive, packed with essential features, and comfortable enough to feel like home on the road. That’s where the Coachmen Nova comes in.
Built with first-time buyers in mind, the Coachmen Nova checks all the boxes: it’s compact, user-friendly, stylish, and thoughtfully designed to support both short weekend trips and longer adventures. If you're looking for a Class B RV that delivers the freedom of van life with the comfort of a motorhome, the Nova deserves a top spot on your list.
Built for Comfort and Simplicity
The Coachmen Nova is built on the Ram ProMaster 3500 extended chassis, making it easy to handle—even if you’ve never driven anything larger than a minivan. Its 21-foot length fits comfortably in most driveways and parking spots, so you can stop for groceries or explore a downtown area without worry.
Inside, the Nova feels surprisingly spacious thanks to its smart floor plan and quality craftsmanship. One of its standout features is the Murphy bed, which folds away when not in use to create a larger living space. During the day, you’ll have room to relax, work, or enjoy a meal—without feeling cramped.
High-End Interior, Beginner-Friendly Systems
One of the things that sets the Nova apart from other beginner-friendly RVs is its upscale feel. The interior features European-style cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, and soft-close drawers—elements you’d expect in luxury models.
But don’t let the elegant design fool you—the Nova’s systems are simple to operate. From the Truma Combi Eco Plus heating and hot water system to the efficient air conditioner with remote, every feature is designed for convenience. First-time RV owners can spend more time exploring and less time troubleshooting.
Well-Equipped Kitchen and Bath
If you're looking for a true “home away from home,” the Nova delivers. The galley kitchen includes a stainless steel sink, two-burner cooktop, microwave, and 7.3 cu. ft. refrigerator—plenty for preparing meals on the go. Thoughtful storage compartments and counter space make it easy to stay organized, even in a compact footprint.
The wet bath features a stainless-steel sink, toilet, and shower, offering full-function hygiene on the road without the need for campground facilities. It’s another win for new RVers who want all-in-one convenience.
Designed for the Road Ahead
The Nova’s exterior features are just as practical as the interior. You’ll find a Thule power awning with LED lights, roof-mounted solar panel, and exterior shower—all standard. The RV is also equipped with dual-pane acrylic windows and premium insulation, so you’ll stay comfortable no matter the weather.
Coachmen also builds the Nova with Azdel composite sidewalls, which are lighter, quieter, and more water-resistant than traditional wood. That means better fuel efficiency and durability—two things every new owner will appreciate.
