Nexus Ghost Super C RVs

Recent Ghost builds have carried MSRPs in the $300,000s, with the shorter floorplans at the low end and the longest ones at the top. Nobody pays MSRP. MHSRV discounts every new Ghost well below sticker, which saves you thousands compared to other Nexus dealers. Length moves the number the most, followed by the value package, full-body paint, added solar, theater seating, and a washer and dryer. A used Ghost can land well under a new one while keeping the same International chassis, air brakes, and steel cage construction. Pricing shifts by model year and build, so contact MHSRV for a current out-the-door quote on a specific unit.

Nexus built its name on construction rather than brochure features. Every coach uses a high-strength steel cage instead of the aluminum framing most of the industry uses, and the company rates that approach up to 72% stronger. Owners tend to report less flex, better insulation, and fewer water intrusion problems over time, and Nexus Super C coaches have picked up RV Business Must See RV awards in recent years. The tradeoffs are real. Nexus is a small independent builder, so the dealer and service network is thinner than what a Thor or Forest River brand gives you, and parts can take longer to arrive. Steel construction also adds weight, which eats into cargo capacity. And the interior finish, while solid, is not at the level of the luxury Class A diesel pushers some shoppers cross-shop at this money. Nexus suits buyers who care more about how a coach is built than about badge recognition or the biggest service network.

Nexus RV builds them in Elkhart, Indiana. The company was founded in 2010 by Dave Middleton and Claude Donati, and it specializes in Class B+, Class C, and Super C motorhomes. What makes Nexus unusual is that it stayed independent. Most large motorhome brands now sit under publicly traded holding companies where quarterly results shape production decisions. Nexus is privately held, which the company credits for its focus on construction and customer satisfaction. The practical tradeoff is scale. You get a builder that can change a product quickly and stand behind it directly, paired with a smaller dealer network and less service coverage than the big groups offer.

Both are Nexus Super C diesels, but they sit in different weight classes. The Wraith rides on the Freightliner® S2RV chassis with the Cummins ISB 6.7L diesel at 340 horsepower and 700 lb-ft, a lighter Allison transmission, and a hitch rated around 10,000 pounds. The Ghost steps up to the International MV chassis, the Cummins at 360 horsepower and 800 lb-ft, the Allison 3000 Series, and a 20,000-pound hitch. The weight ratings tell the story, with the Wraith at 24,000 pounds GVWR and 33,000 combined against the Ghost at 25,999 and 45,999. The Ghost also carries a residential refrigerator with an inverter as standard. Both coaches use Nexus Composite Steel construction and rear air-ride suspension, so the real dividing line is chassis and towing capacity. Pick the Wraith for a lighter and less expensive way into a Nexus Super C. Pick the Ghost when you need the heavier chassis and double the hitch rating. Nexus also builds the Maximus on a heavier Ford® F-650 chassis with a higher GVWR and more cargo capacity, so compare all three before you commit.
