Why the Phantom Stands Out
The Phantom is built for buyers who want Nexus's construction story at a gas Class C price point. That story starts with Composite Steel construction: a high-strength low-alloy steel cage that Nexus rates up to 72% stronger than the aluminum framing common in most RVs. Couples cross-shopping the Phantom against gas Class Cs from other builders usually land on the Phantom for the steel cage, the wood-free composite substrate, and the sleeping capacity range (up to 10 in the 32P). Buyers who want the same construction with a diesel powertrain typically step up to the Nexus Wraith Super C.
Nexus Composite Steel Construction
The Composite Steel approach uses a high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel cage that runs through the entire coach. Nexus rates it up to 72% stronger than traditional aluminum-framed RV construction. Fiberglass sidewalls bond to a composite substrate, which replaces the wood substrate used in most competing builds and eliminates a common source of long-term water rot. A laminated steel-framed floor, a fiberglass front cap, and a one-piece fiberglass roof round out the shell. The end result is a coach with better long-term water damage resistance, better thermal and sound insulation, and higher structural rigidity than aluminum-framed equivalents.
Chassis and Cockpit
The Phantom is built on the Ford E-450 chassis with the 7.3L V-8 gas engine and a 55-gallon fuel tank. Cab standards include power locks and windows, cup holders, an emergency start switch for the house batteries, an ignition crossover switch, and a 7-inch touchscreen with phone mirroring.
Exterior
Exterior standards include the Winegard 360 antenna, frameless tinted windows with an automotive seal, lighted rubber-lined galvanized trunk boxes, a premolded rear roof transition, an outside shower, an interior entry door handle, a cab-over side window, and 45.7 cubic feet of exterior storage. The Phantom comes in four exterior color schemes: Charcoal, Azzuro, Standard, and Rage.
Interior and Décor
The interior runs upgraded flooring, high-intensity LED lighting, upgraded window treatments with night roller shades, black pull handles and fixtures, a living room TV, and a dinette booth. Buyers pick from four interior décor packages: Bourbon, Adventure, Coastal, and Modern.
Galley
The Phantom galley pairs laminated kitchen countertops with a stainless steel undermount sink and a residential faucet with sprayer. A convection microwave, oven, and additional appliance upgrades are available as factory options.
Master Bedroom
Every Phantom floor plan runs a king bed with a deluxe innerspring mattress standard. The bedroom pairs with upgraded window treatments, night roller shades, high-intensity LED lighting, and black pull handles and fixtures. A 32-inch bedroom TV is available as an option.
Power and Water
Standard power management runs a 4-kilowatt gas generator with auto-gen start and an automatic transfer switch, two 12-volt deep-cycle house batteries, a 60-amp 12-volt power converter, a 30-amp 12-volt distribution panel, a battery disconnect, an on-demand hot water heater, an electric patio awning with LED lighting, an exterior security light, an exterior TV cable jack, a rear backup camera, an LP quick-disconnect, and solar prep wiring. A 100-watt rooftop solar panel is available as an option (expandable to 200 watts with a second panel).
The Three Phantom Floor Plans
29P: 31 feet 8 inches long, sleeps 8. King master, 82-inch interior ceiling height. The 29P and 30P are the shorter Phantom layouts.
30P: 31 feet 7 inches long, sleeps 8. Same interior ceiling and exterior height as the 29P. Different living-area arrangement.
32P: 32 feet 11 inches long, sleeps up to 10. The longest Phantom and the highest sleep count. Best pick for larger families or groups who need maximum sleeping capacity.
All three floor plans share an 82-inch interior ceiling height, an 11-foot 3-inch exterior height (including A/C), an 8-foot 5-inch exterior width, a 28-gallon gray tank, and a 28-gallon black tank.
Optional Equipment
Options across the Phantom lineup include the convection microwave, an oven, a 32-inch bedroom TV, a cab-over entertainment center with TV, a Gateway 4G LTE Wi-Fi router, a 100-watt solar panel (with a second panel available for 200 watts total), aluminum running boards, electric stabilizer jacks, full-body paint, fully automatic leveling jacks, heated and remote mirrors, a roof ladder, side-view cameras, the Nexair fan in the living room, soft-touch driver and passenger seats, a stackable washer/dryer, swivel driver and passenger seats, theater seating in place of the jackknife sofa, a tri-fold sofa in place of the jackknife sofa (not on the 30P), a second A/C with Energy Management System, and state seals (CSA for Canada, Oregon, Washington). The RVIA label is standard on motorized units.

Nexus Phantom FAQs
What is the Nexus Phantom?
The Nexus Phantom is a Class C gas motorhome built on the Ford E-450 chassis with the 7.3L V-8 gas engine. It uses Nexus's signature Composite Steel construction (a high-strength low-alloy steel cage rated up to 72% stronger than traditional aluminum-framed builds) and comes in three floor plans (29P, 30P, and 32P) with sleeping capacity from 8 to 10 people.
What chassis is the Nexus Phantom built on?
The Ford E-450 cutaway chassis, running the 7.3L V-8 gas engine and a 55-gallon fuel tank. Cab standards include power locks and windows, an emergency start switch for the house batteries, an ignition crossover switch, and a 7-inch touchscreen with phone mirroring.
What is Nexus Composite Steel construction?
Nexus's proprietary construction approach uses a high-strength low-alloy steel cage through the whole coach in place of the aluminum framing found in most competing Class Cs. Nexus rates it up to 72% stronger than aluminum-framed builds. Fiberglass sidewalls bond to a composite substrate that replaces wood, which eliminates a common source of water rot. The floor uses a laminated steel frame, and the roof is a one-piece fiberglass shell. The result is better long-term water damage resistance, better thermal and sound insulation, and higher structural rigidity than typical aluminum-framed RV construction.
What is the difference between the Phantom and the Wraith?
Both are Nexus RV motorhomes built with Composite Steel construction, but they sit in different categories. The Phantom is a gas Class C on the Ford E-450 chassis with the 7.3L V-8 gas engine, aimed at buyers who want the Nexus build at a lower price point. The Nexus Wraith is a Super C diesel built on the Freightliner S2RV chassis with a Cummins ISB 6.7L diesel rated at 340 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque, a 24,000-pound GVWR, a 33,000-pound GCWR, a 10,000-pound hitch, and rear air-ride suspension. Pick the Phantom for the accessible gas platform. Pick the Wraith for diesel torque, larger fuel range, and higher tow ratings.
What is the difference between the Phantom and the Phantom Sport?
Both are Class C gas motorhomes on the Ford E-450 chassis with Nexus Composite Steel construction, but they sit at different tiers. The Phantom is the higher-content version with the upgraded interior finish package (upgraded flooring, black pull handles and fixtures, high-intensity LED lighting, upgraded window treatments) and the wider color and décor lineup (four exterior schemes, four interior packages). The Phantom Sport is the more accessibly priced sibling with a simpler standard-equipment list. Pick the Phantom for the finish upgrades and the extended color choice. Pick the Phantom Sport for a lower price of entry on the same Composite Steel platform.
Is the Nexus Phantom a Class C?
Yes. The Phantom is a gas Class C motorhome. It uses a Ford E-450 cutaway truck chassis with a full coach body that includes a cab-over area over the truck cab. That separates it from a Class B camper van (which uses the full van shell) and from a Class A (which uses a flat-front bus-style cab).
What floor plans does the Nexus Phantom come in?
Three: the 29P, the 30P, and the 32P. The 29P is 31 feet 8 inches long and sleeps 8. The 30P is 31 feet 7 inches long and sleeps 8. The 32P is 32 feet 11 inches long and sleeps up to 10. All three share the 82-inch interior ceiling, the 11-foot 3-inch exterior height, and the 8-foot 5-inch exterior width.
Which Phantom sleeps the most people?
The 32P. At 32 feet 11 inches long, it sleeps up to 10 people, using the king-bed master, the cab-over bunk area, the convertible dinette, and the convertible jackknife sofa (or optional theater seating or tri-fold sofa). The 32P is the pick for large families, multi-generational travel, or buyers who host guests regularly.
What is the shortest Nexus Phantom?
The 30P at 31 feet 7 inches (barely, one inch shorter than the 29P). Both the 29P and 30P are the short-lineup Phantoms and share the same sleeping capacity (8) and interior height specs. The 30P offers a different living-area layout than the 29P, so shoppers usually pick between them based on interior configuration rather than length.
How many people does the Nexus Phantom sleep?
The 29P and 30P both sleep up to 8. The 32P sleeps up to 10. Sleeping arrangements combine the king-bed master, the cab-over bunk area (with an optional cab-over entertainment center in place of the bunk), the convertible dinette booth, and the convertible jackknife sofa (with a tri-fold sofa upgrade available on the 29P and 32P).
Does every Nexus Phantom come with a King bed?
Yes. Every Phantom floor plan runs a King-size bed with a deluxe innerspring mattress standard. That's uncommon in the Class C gas category, where Queen beds are more typical. Buyers who want a King master in a Class C gas motorhome usually have to step up to longer coaches from other brands; the Phantom puts a King in every floor plan, including the shortest 30P at 31 feet 7 inches.
What color and decor options does the Phantom offer?
The Phantom comes in four exterior color schemes (Charcoal, Azzuro, Standard, and Rage) and four interior décor packages (Bourbon, Adventure, Coastal, and Modern). Each is a choose-one option at no additional charge.
Does the Nexus Phantom come with solar?
Solar prep wiring comes standard on every Phantom. Actual solar panels are optional: a 100-watt rooftop panel is available, with the option to add a second panel for 200 watts total. Standard power management runs a 4-kilowatt gas generator with auto-gen start, two 12-volt deep-cycle house batteries, a 60-amp 12-volt power converter, and a 30-amp 12-volt distribution panel.
Can I drive the Nexus Phantom without a special license?
In most US states, yes. The Phantom is built on the Ford E-450 chassis and sits below the 26,001-pound GVWR threshold that triggers a commercial driver's license in most states. A few states (California, Wisconsin, and a handful of others) have their own non-commercial license rules for larger RVs, but the Phantom is small enough to clear those too. Check your state's DMV requirements before purchase.
How much does a Nexus Phantom cost?
Pricing varies by floor plan and options (the full-body paint, second A/C, auto leveling jacks, and washer/dryer are the biggest upgrades that move the price). MHSRV discounts every new Phantom well below MSRP. Contact the sales team for a current out-the-door quote on a specific in-stock unit.
