Win a 2026 Entegra Esteem XL Super C, a Polaris XPEDITION ADV 5 NorthStar + $100,000 Cash

What you're looking at

This is a basecamp, not a car. The headline vehicle is a 2026 Entegra Esteem XL in the 32U GSE floorplan — a Super C, meaning a Class A-sized body dropped onto a real medium-duty truck chassis instead of a van cutaway. Underneath is a Ford F-550 4x4 with the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel, which the sponsor rates at 950 lb-ft of torque. Two slides, a king bed, a cab-over bunk, a full kitchen and bathroom, sleeping for five or six.

Behind it goes a 2026 Polaris XPEDITION ADV 5 NorthStar on a PJ tandem axle utility trailer. The ADV 5 is the five-seat adventure side-by-side, and NorthStar is the trim that matters: a fully enclosed cab with heat and air conditioning, so the thing is usable in February and in August rather than just on nice weekends. Plus $100,000 in cash. The sponsor puts approximate retail value on the whole thing at $350,000.

Why it matters

Super C is a small, specific corner of the RV world, and the 4x4 version is smaller still. The reason people pay for one is exactly this use case — a coach heavy enough and geared low enough to tow a loaded UTV trailer over a mountain pass without cooking the transmission, then keep going up a graded forest road to a spot a Class A would never reach. Buy this combination at a dealer and you are writing checks in three places: roughly $200,000 for the coach at current transaction prices, another $45,000-odd for the NorthStar, and a few thousand more for the trailer.

The cash is the part that makes it work. A $250,000 tow rig arriving on a driveway is a tax event, and $100,000 arriving with it is the difference between keeping the coach and listing it in January. That is a deliberate structure, and it is worth noticing.

The operator is a 501(c)(3) out of Gilbert, Arizona (EIN 92-2174042) funding research into inherited retinal diseases — Bardet-Biedl Syndrome and Retinitis Pigmentosa specifically. The sweepstakes is administered by American Sweepstakes & Promotion Co., Inc., an independent Rochester, New York firm that has run promotions for national brands since 2001, which is a meaningfully better setup than an operator judging its own drawing.

The fine print worth knowing

The $200,000 check replaces everything, not just the vehicles. The rules state the winner "will also be given the option to accept a $200,000 cash award/check in lieu of the aforementioned Prize." Read that carefully: "the aforementioned Prize" is the whole grand prize — motorhome, Polaris, trailer and the $100,000 together. So the real choice is $100,000 cash plus about $250,000 of vehicles, or a flat $200,000 and nothing in the driveway. Taking the check is worth doing the math on rather than assuming, because it is not $200,000 on top of the hardware.

Encouragingly, there is no minimum-proceeds threshold in these rules — the grand prize is not conditioned on the campaign raising a certain amount, which is a condition that does appear on a lot of nonprofit sweepstakes.

The rest of the terms are ordinary but load-bearing. The rules confirm "an IRS Form 1099 will be filed in the name of the Winner for the value of the Prize" and that the winner is responsible for "all optional equipment, title, license, insurance and registration fees required in claiming the vehicles, applicable taxes, as well as, all other expenses relating to the use of vehicles." A 1099 on a $350,000 prize is a serious spring, even with $100,000 in hand. The sponsor also reserves the right "at its sole discretion to substitute the Prize with another prize of equal or greater value," and note that the rules describe the coach simply as a "2026 Entegra Esteem XL Super C" where the giveaway page names the 32U GSE floorplan.

Eligibility is broader than most — the USA and Canada — but Washington State is excluded, and anyone who has previously won a grand prize in one of this sponsor's sweepstakes cannot win again. A winner has seven days from notice to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, and disputes are resolved individually with no class actions.

Entries start at a $25 donation and run to $1,000, with a 5x bonus multiplier applied at every tier at the time of writing. The free route is real and unusually generous by the standards of this format: a hand-printed 3x5 card mailed to the administrator's box counts for fifty entries, the same as the bonused $25 tier, and 100 to 300 if postmarked during a bonus window. Cards must be hand-printed by you and mailed individually — no bulk envelopes and no third-party entry services. Paid entries close the night of October 25, mail must be postmarked by October 24 and in hand by October 29, and the drawing is held on or about October 30 — the mail buffer is simply the time it takes for envelopes to physically arrive before the draw.
