2026 Catalina Summit Series 8 281QBUNK
Other floor plans with a similar body style, feature mix, and price range, prioritizing other manufacturers and brands.
The rear bunkhouse with four bunks is the obvious headline here, but the 281QBUNK earns points throughout the rest of the floor plan too, a front master bedroom with a Queen bed, mirrored wardrobes, and a solid door for actual privacy. The 10-foot panoramic slideout window is genuinely impressive, flooding the living area with light in a way you don't usually see at this price point. In the kitchen, a GE 12V refrigerator, three-burner cooktop, and tankless on-demand water heater are the kinds of specs you'd expect on pricier rigs, and the JBL multi-zone media center means you're not sacrificing on entertainment either. Solar prep, a rear view camera prep, and the diamond plate rock guard round out a feature list that's clearly been thought through for real-world use.

Most big-box corporate RV dealers advertise a low hook-price online, only to hit you with $2,000 to $4,000 in surprise fees when you walk into the finance office. We have declared war on those corporate games.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) explicitly deems these hidden, surprise dealer fees to be deceptive and illegal. Corporate bait-and-switch tactics violate federal consumer protection standards, which is why our pricing remains 100% upfront, transparent, and honest.
The only items NOT included in our advertised selling price are standard, non-negotiable governmental fees (Tax, Tag, and Registration). Every single dealership prep fee is fully absorbed into the price.
• Freight, Factory Prep, Detail & Tech Walkthrough: 100% INCLUDED (Typical Chain Stores: Extra $1,900 - $3,800)
• Filled Propane Tanks: INCLUDED. Fully loaded propane tanks are filled and ready to cook and heat on day one. (Typical Chain Stores: Extra $100 - $200)
Other listings for this floor plan, ranked by condition, model year, distance, price, and listing quality.
• Genuine Interstate Deep-Cycle Battery: INCLUDED. Heavy-duty American reliability standard. (Typical Chain Stores: Extra or cheap generic junk)
• Dealer Document Fees: $0.00 ZERO (Typical Chain Stores: Extra $499 - $999)
All of this is completely included in our selling price. We do not play corporate trick games, and we will absolutely NOT charge you an extra $1,995 for a mandatory "Let's Go Camping Package" like the big chain stores stick on your bill at signing.
