Airstream has launched a new Class B camper van: the Rangeline 21 Premier Loft, or 21PL, announced June 11, is the second model in the company’s Rangeline touring coach line, built on the RAM ProMaster chassis with a new floor plan featuring a powered loft bed system that sleeps up to four travelers without relying on a pop-top.
Rangeline occupies a specific position in Airstream’s motorized lineup. The company’s other touring coaches — four Interstate models and the top-of-the-line Atlas — all ride the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, while Rangeline, introduced in 2022, was the first Airstream van built on the gas-powered RAM ProMaster, and it remains the most accessible entry into the brand’s touring coach family. The original model offered an optional pop-top for extra sleeping space; the 21PL’s powered loft bed brings that capacity inside the roofline. With the new model’s arrival, the original has been renamed the Rangeline 21 Premier Suite (21PS).
The loft bed is the centerpiece of the new floor plan, and it moves. Centered, it creates a bunk-style layout over the modular Smartbench for a four-person arrangement. Lowered, it becomes the primary sleep area with added overhead room. Raised, it opens the living space below for storage, lounging, or sleeping on the adjustable Smartbench. The bed carries a four-inch memory foam mattress, with secured nets on both sides for safety when the top bunk is in use.
The Smartbench itself rides an integrated L-track floor system at the rear of the coach. It slides for storage access or comes out entirely, opening garage space for bikes, kayaks, or other large equipment. A pull-out drawer beneath the bench and an overhead L-track system extend the storage options. An adjoining stationary side bench widens the sleep space, and together the two benches form an L-shaped rear lounge with a repositionable table for dining or gathering. The Smartbench can also accommodate two child car seats.
Elsewhere in the floor plan, a split galley kitchen keeps cooking essentials within reach, and a small exterior-facing table surface on the galley back serves outdoor use. Two skylights bring in natural light, including one above the shower that adds four inches of standing height for a total clearance of 74.5 inches.
“We took everything owners loved about our original Rangeline and added features to offer greater standard sleeping capacity, more storage solutions, and freedom for owners to customize their travel,” said Airstream President and CEO Bob Wheeler. “Rangeline 21PL adapts to everyday life on the road, whether that’s hauling gear, hosting family, or having a more comfortable place to rest, without limiting quality design and comfort.”
Power management is deliberately simple. The fully integrated energy system combines a 3.5kWh lithium battery, a 3000-watt inverter, 200 watts of solar, and a 2.8kW onboard generator that draws from the standard gasoline tank, eliminating the need for multiple fuel sources and keeping essential functions running far from the nearest hookup.
The 21PL also gets an upgraded suspension system designed to keep handling stable whether the coach is empty or loaded. Rear springs automatically engage under pressure and return to neutral to maintain a level stance and reduce body roll, while front springs compress to absorb impact, dampen sway, and hold ride height as conditions change.
The Rangeline 21PL will be available through Airstream’s nationwide dealer network, with pricing starting at $173,400.
