The listings, announced on October 30, 2026, also include four additional in-stock RVs on the dealership’s Current Promotions page, with combined advertised price differences of $120,821. The move signals a push to attract buyers seeking rugged, self-sufficient recreational vehicles as interest in off-grid camping continues to grow.
The three MDC USA models vary in length, sleeping capacity, and equipment. The 2027 XT12HR Off-Grid Extreme, stock 13343, is listed at $72,990 compared with a retail price of $83,990, a difference of $11,000. The 18-foot trailer weighs 4,340 pounds, sleeps two, and includes an outdoor kitchen. It is marked as on order. The 2027 XT16HR Island Off-Grid Extreme, stock 13346, is listed at $93,990 against $107,990, a difference of $14,000. It measures 22 feet, weighs 5,470 pounds, and sleeps three.

The largest model, the 2027 XT19HRT Off-Grid Extreme, stock 13273, is listed at $125,990 compared with $144,900, a difference of $18,910. It measures 25 feet, weighs 6,610 pounds, sleeps three, and features an outdoor kitchen and a front bedroom. These comparisons use displayed retail and advertised prices and do not represent a guaranteed final purchase cost. Taxes, registration, delivery charges, and financing may affect the amount paid.
For buyers researching RVs in Connecticut, vehicle compatibility is critical. Buyers should compare gross vehicle weight rating, hitch weight, and cargo capacity with their tow vehicle’s towing and payload limits. Dry weight does not include water, camping equipment, or personal belongings, which add to the loaded weight. Solar and battery equipment can support camping without electrical hookups, but operating time depends on sunlight, battery storage, weather, and appliance use. Buyers should verify the equipment fitted to the specific unit and review the manufacturer’s specifications before planning off-grid trips.
“Shoppers may be comparing different formats, from off-road trailers to motorhomes and destination trailers. Looking at each unit’s layout, equipment and intended use can help them decide which setup fits their plans,” said Lee Luginbuhl, President of Lee’s Auto & RV Ranch. The dealership, founded in 1994, operates from a nine-acre property in Ellington, Connecticut, and employs more than 40 people.
The additional promotions include a new 2025 Forest River Cherokee Wolf Den 271RK at $34,997 against $57,026, a difference of $22,029; a used 2019 Starcraft Super Lite 311BH at $25,900 against $39,198, a difference of $13,298; a used 2015 Roadtrek TS-Adventurous TS at $77,997 against $141,531, a difference of $63,534; and a 2026 Forest River Cherokee Timberwolf 39DK at $55,499 against $77,459, a difference of $21,960. The dealership notes that listed prices exclude sales tax, registration, and delivery fees. Buyers should confirm prices, specifications, and availability before making a purchase decision.
