Lee's Auto & RV Ranch has added three 2027 MDC USA XT Expedition Series off-road trailers to its inventory in Ellington, Connecticut, with advertised prices below displayed retail figures by a combined $43,910. The listings matter for buyers weighing rugged, self-contained travel trailers against conventional towable RVs, and they widen the price ladder available to Connecticut shoppers at a single dealership.
The three units differ in length, sleeping capacity and equipment. The 2027 MDC USA XT12HR Off-Grid Extreme, stock 13343, is listed at $72,990 against a retail price of $83,990, a difference of $11,000. The 18-foot trailer weighs 4,340 pounds, sleeps two and includes an outdoor kitchen; the unit is marked on order. The 2027 MDC USA XT16HR Island Off-Grid Extreme, stock 13346, is listed at $93,990 against $107,990, a difference of $14,000. It measures 22 feet, weighs 5,470 pounds and sleeps three, with an 800Ah Renogy lithium battery, a 700-watt rooftop solar system, enhanced thermal insulation, an outdoor kitchen and a front bedroom. The 2027 MDC USA XT19HRT Off-Grid Extreme, stock 13273, is listed at $125,990 against $144,900, a difference of $18,910. It measures 25 feet, weighs 6,610 pounds, sleeps three and lists an outdoor kitchen and front bedroom.
The dealership's promotions page also lists four additional in-stock RVs with advertised prices below displayed retail prices. A 2025 Forest River Cherokee Wolf Den 271RK is listed at $34,997 against $57,026, a difference of $22,029. A used 2019 Starcraft Super Lite 311BH is listed at $25,900 against $39,198, a difference of $13,298. A used 2015 Roadtrek TS-Adventurous TS is listed at $77,997 against $141,531, a difference of $63,534. A 2026 Forest River Cherokee Timberwolf 39DK is listed at $55,499 against $77,459, a difference of $21,960. Using displayed prices, the four listings carry combined advertised differences of $120,821.
For consumers researching RVs in Connecticut, the listings underscore that tow-vehicle compatibility remains a decisive factor. Buyers should compare gross vehicle weight rating, hitch weight and cargo capacity with a tow vehicle's towing and payload limits, since dry weight excludes water, camping equipment and personal belongings. Solar and battery packages can support camping without electrical hookups, but available power depends on sunlight, battery storage, weather and appliance use, so buyers should verify the equipment fitted to a specific unit.
"Shoppers may be comparing different formats, from off-road trailers to motorhomes and destination trailers. Looking at each unit's layout, equipment and intended use can help them decide which setup fits their plans," said Lee Luginbuhl, President of Lee's Auto & RV Ranch.
The dealership, founded by Luginbuhl in 1994, employs more than 40 people on a nine-acre property in Ellington, Connecticut, and sells new and used RVs, trucks and trailers alongside automotive services. Shoppers searching for teardrops RV for sale can review the dealership's teardrop category, though specific model availability should be confirmed before traveling to Ellington.
The advertised comparisons use displayed retail and advertised prices and do not represent a guaranteed final purchase cost. Taxes, registration, delivery charges and financing may affect the amount paid, and buyers should confirm prices, specifications and availability with the dealership. Full details are available through the dealership's media room.
