Every January 1 comes with a blank calendar. Some of us fill it with the usual. Others quietly wonder what would happen if the plan had a few more miles in it. This is a story about that second kind of wondering, told with a Thor Challenger 36FA, and every plan in it is yours to rewrite.
The ideaStart with one simple question
What would your year look like if your home could come along? Not a vacation. A home, with a bed, a bathroom and a kitchen. The Thor Challenger is a Class A motorhome of approximately 37 feet, and Home Run is giving one away in a sweepstakes that closes January 7.
JanuaryA quiet morning, a king bed
Picture the first slow morning of the year. The bedroom is built around a king bed, and the giveaway page pairs it with a full bathroom. Imagine pulling the covers up for ten more minutes while the day makes no demands.
FebruaryMake a list at the dinette
Every reset needs a table. The coach has a Dream Dinette, and the walls hold a 40-inch TV with a Bluetooth soundbar. Sit down with a pen and map out the months. Where do you want to be by spring? What do you want to try?
SpringThe kitchen sets the tone
Some resets begin in the kitchen. Here the kitchen list includes a residential refrigerator, then pairs gas burners with an induction surface and adds a convection microwave. Your own routines, whatever they are, get a counter to spread out on.
SummerTake the party outdoors
When the weather turns, the awning goes out. On the spec list: a patio awning that is powered, with LED lighting, plus a 40-inch TV mounted outside. Cue the evenings you have been promising yourself.

No purchase necessary. A purchase will not improve your chances of winning. Open to legal residents of the US and Canada, 18+ or the age of majority. Void where prohibited. Ends 01/07/2027 at 11:59:59 p.m. ET. Official Rules
Deep diveWhat the prize actually is
Dreaming is fun, but the facts matter. The Grand Prize is the Thor Challenger 36FA, a gasoline Class A motorhome that sleeps up to seven, and a $10,000 cash award. The giveaway page says the cash is there to help kick-start a first adventure.
Deep diveDates, so the plan is realistic
Entries close January 7, 2027, which means the new year begins before the final day to enter. Around January 12, 2027 (the rules say on or about), a random drawing picks the winner. Nothing about the prize arrives on January 1, which is why this article calls itself a daydream. The plans are yours, and the calendar is real.
Deep diveWhy a reset needs room
Some resets are solo and some involve the whole household. The coach sleeps up to seven and lists two slide-outs, so the space is there if your plans include company. The giveaway page frames it as a fit for family trips and long weekends, among other things.
The fine print, in plain EnglishHow entering works
Members are entered automatically. An active Home Run membership includes automatic entry into every Home Run giveaway, alongside the other member benefits.
Anyone can enter for free. Mail a hand-printed 3" x 5" card as described in the Official Rules. Each mail-in entry counts as 10 entries. Mail-in entries must be postmarked by January 7, 2027 and received by January 11, 2027.
Paying never improves your odds. A purchase will not improve your chances of winning, and odds depend on the number of eligible entries received.
