2022 ProMaster Upgrades

Since many Thor (and other) Class B motorhomes are built on ProMaster vans, prospective buyers may want to take a quick look at the upgrades coming this Fall for the 2022 Model Year chassis. Some of the upgrades are significant and may be worth waiting for depending on tastes and timing.

To be clear, I’m not trying to sway opinions either way. Just sharing information.

Just be aware that just because your coach is a 2022 doesn’t mean your chassis will be a 2022. My Tellaro is a 2022 and my Promaster is a 2021. You would want to confirm via your dealer and the VIN that the chassis was a 22 and what options were installed.

Exactly.

There are a lot of mechanical and dash/electronic changes (let’s call them upgrades though some may prefer previous design) that are not scheduled to go into production until 2022 Model Year ProMaster this fall. I would guess by time RV manufacturers get their hands on 2022 van/chassis, build them, and they get to dealers, it may be Spring in 2022 calendar year or later. RV manufacturers may be producing 2023 motorhomes by then.

Mechanically the big changes I noticed most are new-to-ProMaster 9-speed transmission, electrical power steering, and upgraded engine which combine for up to 9% improvement in fuel economy. I personally expect highway MPG improvement to be less than 9% but hope that 9% could represent up to 1.5 MPG. Without a good test drive, it’s difficult to know if these are significant upgrades. I hope they are.

For RV conversions the electrically-actuated parking brake could also be useful.

Dash is a lot more modern, and with some capabilities I will likely not need or perhaps even want. Overall most electronic upgrades sound really good though.
