RV Classification: Class A Diesel Pusher

Y'all know we love Class A diesel pusher motorhomes. And we love it even more when we find a nice Class A diesel motorhome that is 35 feet long or shorter. And that is what we have found with the all new Nautica 33TL by Holiday Rambler.

The All New Holiday Rambler Nautica 33TL

The All New Holiday Rambler Nautica 33TL

The Nautica brand is an all new diesel pusher line of Class A motorhomes from Holiday Rambler. Lengths range from 35 feet to 38 feet across 4 floorplans. We are excited to see more RV manufacturers embracing smaller Class A motorhomes. And while 35-38 feet in length isn't really small by RV standards, those lengths will definitely give folks more campsite options than their bigger diesel motorhome cousins (which are often between 40 and 45 feet long).

We first met Mike Grove Jr of Holiday Rambler a few weeks ago at Topper's RVs just west of Houston. He was there to train the Topper's staff on the features of the new Nautica line. Imagine our surprise to run into Mike again a few weeks later at the FMCA Rally in Perry, Georgia! We appreciate him taking the time to walk us through the Nautica 33TL...

What We Liked Most About the Holiday Rambler Nautica 33TL:

This new motorhome fits a lot of nice features into 35 feet. Here are some of the things that grabbed our attention:

  • First and foremost, the size! We are thrilled to find more 35 foot and shorter Class As coming to the market.
  • The "French" style doors in the primary basement storage compartment would make loading and unloading cargo much easier by giving you more space between doors.
  • The all-electric setup removes all propane from the coach.
  • The refrigerator is an 18.7 cu ft residential fridge, not a small one.
  • The 340HP Cummins engine would be plenty to move this rig along. (Our previous 35' rig only had a 300HP.)
  • 10,000 pounds of towing capability opens up a lot of options for tow vehicles.
  • Freightliner builds a really nice chassis. And bonus points for being a raised rail chassis that gives more access to your basement storage.
  • Keyless entry means you don't always have to carry keys.
  • A stacked washer/dryer is available.
  • The 3 slideouts give you plenty of space inside while you're parked. And only one of those slides is on the camping side, meaning you lose less room under the 18' awning to slides.
  • It comes standard with an Aqua-Hot system instead of a traditional RV water heater.
  • The fresh, grey and black water tank compartments are all heated.
