Collier RV Updates Illinois Inventory as Compact Class B Motorhomes Gain Ground With Couples and Solo Travelers

Collier RV has updated its RV inventory across its Rockford and Wadsworth, Illinois, locations, listing travel trailers, fifth wheels, motorhomes and other towable models online. The dealership, which traces its history to 1961 when Ed Collier and Adelyn Collier established the business in Rockford, is highlighting a Class B lineup that includes compact Thor Motor Coach models ranging from 18 to 21 feet.

The update matters to buyers because the Class B segment is where motorized RVing overlaps most directly with everyday vehicle ownership. These are camper vans rather than the wide-body coaches that dominate many dealer lots, and their smaller footprint makes them easier to drive, park and store. For couples and solo travelers, that trade-off can be the difference between buying a motorhome and staying on the sidelines.

Shoppers searching for campers in Illinois for sale can now compare several configurations within that range. The current Thor Motor Coach selection includes the 2026 Tellaro Sport 20US, 2026 Tellaro 20L, 2026 Rize Sport 18ZS, 2026 Tellaro 20Y and 2027 Talavera 1930. Sleeping capacities run from two to four people.

The layouts differ in ways that matter to buyers. The Tellaro 20L offers twin sleeping spaces that can be configured into a larger sleeping area. The Rize Sport 18ZS pairs an 18-foot body with a convertible bed and gear storage. The 2027 Talavera 1930 is a 20-foot layout with sleeping capacity for four and all-wheel drive.

Powertrain choices also diverge. The Tellaro and Rize models listed use a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 producing 276 horsepower, while the 2027 Talavera 1930 uses a 3.5-liter V6 producing 310 horsepower. Buyers comparing Class B motorhomes in Rockford, IL can weigh length, sleeping capacity, engine configuration, drivability and interior layout against how they actually plan to travel.

The broader inventory gives shoppers a range of entry points. Travel trailers come from Forest River, Travel Lite, Heartland and Sunset Park. Examples include the 2025 Travel Lite Rove XL 17DB, a 21-foot bunkhouse weighing 2,774 pounds and sleeping four, and the 2026 Forest River Puma Camping Edition 16BHCE, which sleeps five. Current listings include 2026 and 2027 models.

Beyond travel trailers, shoppers comparing RV dealers in IL can explore fifth wheels, destination trailers and toy haulers. The company serves Illinois RV shoppers from two locations: the Rockford dealership, which features a 52,000-square-foot indoor showroom, service department and parts store, and the Wadsworth location, opened in 2006 along Interstate 94, which serves customers across northern Illinois and nearby markets.

Edward Collier, co-owner of Collier RV, said in a statement that the company's dedication to helping customers make the most of their camping adventures has not changed through years of growth and innovation, whether they are purchasing a first RV, upgrading to a newer model or visiting for maintenance. More detail on the dealership is available through its Collier RV company profile and at https://collierrv.media-room.app/.

The practical effect for the industry is a continued push toward smaller, more versatile units as manufacturers and dealers court buyers who want motorized travel without the scale of a Class A or Class C coach. For readers in the market, the takeaway is that the compact segment now offers enough variety in length, sleeping arrangements and drivetrain that a careful comparison is worth the time.
