When it comes to selecting a new RV, one often needs to choose between a motorhome and a towable. But with the Dynamax Isata 5 Series, that choice is an easy one. That’s because the 4WD Isata 5 is equipped with a factory four-wheel drive Cummins 6.7-liter I6 turbo diesel capable of 360 hp and 800 lb-ft of torque. Perhaps the best part? The Isata 5 Series is rated to tow up to 10,000 pounds, meaning you can get your motorhome AND a fully outfitted trailer to tow behind it to help expand your adventure options.
Class C Strong
The mechanics of the Isata 5 are impressive. Built on the RAM 5500 SLT chassis, the numbers paint a powerful picture. The 28SS featured here is a shade over 31 feet, with a GVWR of 19,500 pounds and a GCWR of 37,500 pounds. Towing with the Isata 5 is made easy thanks to the seven-way round tow connection, Weigh Safe trailer hitch, and active brake assist.
A 52-gallon fuel tank expands range on the Isata 5 28SS, and the sizable holding tanks ensure a long stay once you arrive.
Living Large
But the Isata 5 isn’t only about brute force. The 28SS features a private rear bedroom with a queen bed, a large wardrobe and pantry, and a standard booth dinette in the living-area slide room. There’s also a fully equipped kitchen and a full bath. The front cabover houses a 50-by-80-inch mattress with a privacy curtain. LED ceiling lighting highlights the luxury appointments on the Isata 5, which include residential-style furniture, hardwood cabinetry, and premium vinyl flooring.
The galley is a great place to prepare meals thanks to solid-surface countertops with LED lighting (including under the cabinets). The 12-volt RV fridge is a 10 cu-ft model, the sink is stainless-steel, and the gas range and convection microwave round out the details. An included kitchen trash can and MaxxAir power vent are welcome additions to the Isata 5 28SS.
The gel-infused memory-foam mattress and padded headboard in the bedroom add to the penthouse feel, as do the bathroom’s designer shower with skylight, Oxygenics shower head, and stainless-steel sink with residential faucet.
Showroom Shine
The exterior of the Isata 5 28SS is striking thanks to the custom full-body paint package. Slideout toppers, a 16-foot awning with LED lighting, and a rear rockguard complete the look. The Isata 5 28SS includes an exterior TV mount to take the party outside. Automatic four-point leveling jacks are standard, as are seamless rotocast storage compartments with LED lighting and a fiberglass front cap and front wing panels.
