2025 Entegra Coach Launch 19Y Review

Quite simply, the 2025 Entegra Launch is adventure-ready. This all-wheel-drive camper van is fully prepared to take you down roads less traveled and beyond. Built on a driver-friendly and powerful Mercedes-Benz 2500 chassis that’s equipped with a fantastic suspension system, the Launch 19Y is nimble and powerful enough to handle rough terrain or snowy mountain roads. However, Entegra Coach designers knew that for many outdoor enthusiasts, getting there is only half the adventure. So, they outfitted the 2025 Launch 19Y to be the perfect basecamp for weekend mountain biking, kayaking, or skiing adventures.

This comfortable yet cozy Class B provides all the simple pleasures you need. In fact, it’s pretty clear that the intent is to not load you down with amenities. The Launch 19Y is for an owner who wants to stay focused on enjoying outdoor activities.

At a Glance: Launch 19Y

The Launch 19Y is a great little Class B. Even better, it’s perfect for use all year round. It’s biggest deficiency is its lack of kitchen appliances. Personally, I felt that it made sense to add the built-in two-burner induction cooktop to free up cabinet space, but I’d also like to see at least a microwave/convection/air fryer to give better cooking options when cooking indoors is necessary. All in all, it’s a perfect rig for getting out, doing some exploring, and enjoying all that nature has to offer. With an MSRP of $253,125, it’s about average value for everything that it offers.

Key Areas That RV Trader Reviews

RV Trader asked RV shoppers what was most important to them in their RV buying process. Potential buyers — like you — helped us to identify a list of six key areas that camping and travel enthusiasts always look at when they’re searching for the perfect RV: sleeping space, bathroom, living area, four-season capabilities, and storage space.

The RV Trader team then got to work providing you with an honest and unbiased evaluations. And that’s where I come in. I’m Lynne Fedorick, RV expert and enthusiast. I provide an honest look at RVs from an RV industry insider perspective. That way, you can learn the good, the bad, and the intriguing about any RVs I review. I inspect each RV with the buyer’s perspective at the forefront. And I always evaluate those six key areas that buyers have told us that they have in mind.

So, that said, let’s take a closer look at the 2025 Entegra Coach Launch 19Y.

Sleeping Space

At the rear of the Launch 19Y is a queen-size power bunk over the rear garage space. This very comfortable bed descends from the ceiling to whatever height you want at the touch of a button. Being able to drop the bed to suit specific needs means that mountain bikes or other gear in the garage beneath the bed can stay put while the occupants rest.

The rear doorway has its own roll down screen. So, if you desire, you can open up the rear doors, enjoy fresh air, and fall asleep to the melodic sounds of coyotes yipping. Or ocean waves crashing. Whatever music nature plays, you can soak it in without being bothered by bugs.

Here you can see the queen-size power bunk. In this ascended position, it hides and makes additional space in the garage of the Launch 19Y, which gives you a surprising space to stow toys. When it descends, you can choose where you want the height of the bed.

Bathroom

The efficient wet bath in the Launch 19Y is functional and surprisingly spacious. A pair of removable bamboo shelves could be used for storage. It’s a great place to dry swimsuits or wet gear on the go. A pull-out clothesline also provides an additional place to dry items when you’re on the road. In addition to a shower curtain that can be pulled across the wet bath area, the two wet bath doors are positioned to provide privacy from other areas of the RV.

Boondocking only lasts until you need to break camp to fill up with water. So, the shower in the Launch 19Y has an Aqua Miser that helps to conserve water. It works by recycling the cold water that comes through the pipes before the hot water can exit through the shower head. The Launch 19Y’s shower also has its own powered roof vent to help minimize moisture in the van. Beneath the shower in the wet bath is a cassette toilet, not fancy, but fabulous when you need it.

Of course, it’s always good to have options — especially when you’re active outdoors. So, the Launch 19Y also has a shower port in the garage area that could easily be set up with a privacy screen for outdoor showers. Or for washing muddy bikes. Or dirty dogs, all before loading them into the garage.

Nice view of the wet bath — a Class B luxury and extra useful if you’re an outdoor enthusiast. Note the removable bamboo shelves (which can also be used to dry clothes) and the cassette toilet below.

Living Area

Flat out, the Launch 19Y was designed for people who love playing outdoors. With that being said, you won’t find a TV or even much room to watch one inside. However, the two reclining rear seats could provide a comfy spot to curl up and read a book on a rainy day. Mud and dirt are no problem. The rubber floors are easy to clean in this rig.

Outside is where it’s at with the Launch 19Y. A generous power awning with an LED strip can be extended to provide sheltered outdoor living space. I was delighted to discover a handy table that drops down from the back of the kitchen cabinet for an instant outdoor office desk or kitchen. Just add camping chairs, and you’re all set.

However, bugs can sometimes get in the way of outdoor enjoyment. Entegra Coach thought of this too. They put roll down screens over the entry door and rear doors let you enjoy fresh outdoor air without letting in any bugs.

This is a Class B living area, so it’s small. And for the Launch 19Y, the main fun is definitely intended to be outside. No TV inside. Or table. But there is seating for four. Also, don’t miss the 3-cubit-foot fridge next to the entrance.

The roll-down screens mean you can bring the outdoors in (without bugs) when relaxing in the Launch 19Y. Note also that while there is no table outside, there is a flip-down table outside.

Kitchen

The Launch 19Y’s kitchen follows its minimalistic approach to camping. Appliances include a three-cubic-foot refrigerator that’s easily accessible from both inside and outside. There’s also a two-burner portable induction cooktop. An exterior 120-volt GFCI outlet gives you the option of cooking outdoors. It sets up on the legless dropdown table. This means you can fry up the fish you just caught without living with the smell inside the RV.

Kitchen space is maximized with an extendable countertop that creates lots of room for food preparation or cooking. The Launch 19Y’s lack of a microwave means there’s more room to store food, cooking tools and/or other necessities. What the kitchen lacks in appliances, it makes up for with extreme versatility. In the simplest terms, it trades a microwave/convection for storage space. If you need additional cooking options, there are ample plugins and counter space for them. It’s worth noting that even though the Launch 19Y is set up with up to 500 watts of solar power, any additional kitchen appliances would need to be energy conscious.

A closer look here at the sink, counter and drawers in the kitchen. I like how they provided a portable two-burner induction cooktop that you can remove when you are not using it. That, with the extendable countertop provide a surprising amount of surface area.

Four-Season Capabilities

I love that the Launch comes equipped with good insulation, tank heating pads, and an efficient Timberline diesel heater. It also has rugged nonslip sidestep boards. These make getting in and out a lot easier when conditions are icy. Features like this would make it a fantastic basecamp for ice fishing or skiing.

Storage Space

Under the power-lift bunk of this Class B, the Launch has a garage. I love that. A great addition is the three rows of adjustable D-rings on the floor for tethering bikes or other gear. This would be especially useful when taking the Launch 19Y over the rough roads it was designed for. The addition of one or two optional storage benches would provide more storage space for organizing gear too. Net storage bags under the bed and on the rear doors let you keep smaller items where you can find them easily. Being able to adjust the bunk height anywhere you need it lets you keep items inside the RV. This could be especially handy when overnighting somewhere on a road trip.

Beyond the Garage

In addition to the garage area, there are loads of other storage options in the Launch 19Y. The massive storage area over the cab of the Launch could be used to store camp chairs, and/or clothing. But that’s not all: The walls of the Launch are lined with gorgeous, durable, solid wood cabinets, with pop-up handles. As previously mentioned, the wet bath area has two bamboo shelves that allow it to double as a storage area. The Launch 19Y would benefit from the addition of a few hooks for hanging jackets or dog leashes.

That being said, you might want to bring more stuff with you. The small but mighty Launch 19Y’s 5,000-pound towing capacity enables you to bring bikes, boats, and whatever toys don’t fit into its handy rear garage area.

More overhead storage above the kitchen sink.

Sneaky extra storage cabinets with pop-up handles next to the galley.

The garage in the Launch 19Y really shows off. With the retracted power-lift bed, the cargo space is huge for Class B. Plus, it has D-rings to tether your gear.

Closing Notes on the Launch 19Y

Drive Quality

The Launch 19Y’s Mercedes-Benz 2500 chassis is small enough to be nimble. And it’s agile enough to get you off the beaten path. Rugged BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, ride-smoothing Koni shocks, and an oversized stabilizer bar create the feeling that it belongs there. Not only that, but a raised driving position gives a superb view of the road. Features like comfy, adjustable seats, a 360-degree backup camera and brake assist help you feel that you belong there too.

I have to admit that I was very impressed with Entegra Coach’s choice to build the Launch 19Yon a Mercedes Benz 2500 Diesel chassis. It’s a great chassis that’s easy for most RVers to drive comfortably.

Beautiful view of the cockpit in the Launch 19Y.

Love these BFGoodrich tires. The Launch 19Y takes going off-road pretty seriously.

Build Quality and Decor

The Launch 19Y’s floorplan is utilitarian but efficient. Really, it’s perfect for one or two adventurous RVers. It’s easy cleaning interior is only available in one option — the deep natural tones of the Serenity palette. But not to worry, this dark yet soothing color scheme is perfect for the Launch 19Y. That’s because there’s no stopping dust and dirt from sneaking into an RV when you’re exploring back roads. Dust and dirt are part of the experience you can never completely avoid. The Serenity color scheme works great in minimizing its appearance.

Comfort and Amenities

Like many other Class Bs, the Launch 19Y is kind of spartan when it comes to amenities. It’s there to do a job. That job is to get you where you’re going safely and provide you with a neat little home away from home. It does this very well. The Launch 19Y has every amenity you need to enjoy the great outdoors and be comfortable doing so. However, it keeps things simple so you can focus on what you love doing.

The Entegra Coach Launch 19Y is the perfect RV for adventure seeking athletes whose idea of fun might be scrambling up a multi-pitch climbing route, catching waves on a surfboard, or making fresh tracks on an early morning ski-run. But it would also be equally at home nestled on the shore of a remote and peaceful lake for a weekend getaway.
