New Frontier GTX RV delivers space, technology, and privacy needed by those working or learning from the road

Fleetwood RV Brand of High-end Motorhomes Debuts Frontier GTX With The Corner Office for Work-From-the-Road Convenience.

@Fleetwood RV Frontier GTX 37RT floorplan includes an office that’s been designed to deliver the space, technology, convenience, and privacy needed by those working from the road.

Remote work – it’s what RVers across the country are doing and Fleetwood RV is making that scenario easier with the introduction of its brand-new Frontier GTX Class A Diesel luxury motorhome that features a dedicated office. The Frontier GTX 37RT floorplan includes an office that’s been designed to deliver the space, technology, convenience, and privacy needed by those working from the road.

The Frontier GTX 37RT is a 37-foot motorhome with three, flat-floor slide outs that deliver plenty of interior room. The Corner Office is an option and is strategically located at the rear of the coach so it’s away from daily life activities.

“We developed the 37RT office configuration after listening to our current customers, as well as new owners entering the RV space,” said Doug Miller, product manager for REV Recreation Group’s Class A products. “We found quite a bit of interest in the ability to work remotely and have children engage in distance learning. Based on that, we wanted to offer a floorplan that could accommodate the new reality of living, working, and educating anywhere.”

The space is cleverly arranged and includes an L-shaped desk with a built-in monitor and multiple nearby outlets.

A large window tops the desk to bring in natural light and deliver a view of the outdoors. Drawers below and cabinets above provide convenient storage within easy reach for files and other supplies. A stylish barn door of frosted glass and wood closes off the space when ultimate quiet and privacy are needed. To ensure phone and video calls go off without a hitch, the GTX offers an optional connectivity package that includes WiFi Ranger™ Sky4 ProPack w/LTE and weBoost® Cell Booster.

“If you think about a family who’s traveling in a 37-foot RV, activities can continue in the main living area of the coach while someone is in the secluded office conducting a call, responding to emails, or taking a test,” said Miller. “We feel the 37RT floorplan provides privacy, flexibility, and function without sacrificing any of the features and amenities that are important to RVers.”

Frontier GTX Floorplans

The Frontier GTX is initially rolling out two floorplans – one that features an office and another with a unique bed configuration – and will expand the line in 2023 with one additional floorplan.

37RT – With its three slides, including a full wall on the passenger/patio side, the 37’ RV can easily accommodate a family or traveling couple. The front living area features a Dream Dinette that quickly converts from a table into a bed and a queen sleeper sofa that can be upgraded to power motion loungers. For who would like extra sleeping capacity, an optional Hide-A-Loft drop-down bed with an LED TV can be added. For coziness, the 37RT offers a standard electric fireplace in the living area. The all-electric kitchen with top-tier appliances also includes a pantry and the lavatory features a roomy 38” x 30” shower with a glass door. The master bedroom is a dream with a king bed and deluxe wardrobe closet. The closet is decked out with a dresser, hanging wardrobe space, pull-out hamper, overhead shelf storage, and numerous drawers. An optional side-by-side washer/dryer can also be specified. The Corner Office takes a portion of the wardrobe area to create the ultimate “work-from-the-road” option that’s available to RVers.

39TA – At 39’ and with two slides, the 39TA offers its own set of well-thought-out features. To begin with, both slides are located on the driver’s side, which means the passenger side of the coach is completely free for outside patio entertaining under the RV’s large awning. In addition, the coach’s luggage bays are easily accessible. Next, the front of the coach features the exclusive multi-purpose Adap-table Dinette that serves as a convenient workstation or breakfast bar for two. By swinging the table out vertically, it easily hosts a dinner party for four.

In addition, the 39TA offers the much-sought-after 1-½ bath configuration. The full bath is located mid-ship with a half bath situated in the rear of the coach off the master bedroom. The layout means family members and guests have easy access to the full bath, which keeps the master area more private and less trafficked.

Finally, the master suite features a “north/south” queen bed. Instead of being against an outside wall, the bed is positioned in the center of the room, which allows ample space to walk around and easily make it in the morning. For those who like to watch TV in bed, a drop-down LED TV in the ceiling comes standard. Behind the bed and its headboard is a walled space that accommodates the half bath along with wardrobe storage.

“Another advantage of the “north/south” bed is the fact that, since the bed isn’t housed in a slide, it can remain fully extended while the coach is moving. That means you can access the entire bed and take a nap even when the slides are in,” explained Miller. “We’re extremely excited about each of the GTX floorplans because they are innovative in their own way and are designed to give RV owners exactly what they’re looking for.”

The Frontier GTX from Fleetwood RV has a starting MSRP of approximately $400,000.
