"The
2009
ERA
offers
interior
and
exterior
refinements
in
a
boldly-styled
package
that
delivers
comfort,
functionality
and
performance
offered
by
none
other
than
Winnebago
Industries.
What’s
great
about
the
ERA
is
its
maneuverability
and
functionality.
The
ERA
is
great
for
camping
and
enjoying
the
outdoors,
but
it’s
also
the
perfect
choice
to
take
to
soccer
games,
weekend
getaways
or
trips
to
see
family.
It
has
everything
a
larger
motor
home
has,
only
in
a
compact,
striking
package.
Plus,
it
features
the
Winnebago
Industries
name
that
just
further
lends
credibility
to
this
new
product.
Built
on
an
8,550-lb.
GVWR
Dodge
Sprinter
chassis
with
a
fuel-efficient
3L
6-cylinder
turbo-diesel
engine,
the
ERA
features
an
aerodynamic
design
with
smooth
lines
and
striking
full
body
paint.
The
exterior
is
further
enhanced
with
stylized,
16-inch
aluminum
wheels
and
full-length
running
boards.
A
5,000-lb.
hitch
and
optional
patio
awning
are
additional
highlights
of
this
coach.
Entering
the
ERA
is
simple.
On
the
passenger
side,
a
sliding
door
opens
easily
for
entry
into
the
coach,
while
double
doors
open
fully
in
the
rear
for
great
access
to
the
back
of
the
coach.
The
interior
of
the
ERA
is
European-inspired
with
stunning
curved
cabinetry
with
hidden
hinges,
Corian
countertops
and
comfortable
and
plush
seating.
Factor
in
the
6
foot
3
inch
interior
ceiling
height
and
the
ERA
is
a
spacious
motor
home
you
will
appreciate.
The
ERA
features
the
new
170
in
2009.
The
170
offers
a
rear
60-inch
x
80-inch
sofa/bed
in
the
rear,
as
well
as
a
fully
equipped
galley
and
bathroom.
Up
front,
two
companion
chairs
are
featured
that
make
for
a
prime
seating
area,
especially
when
the
moveable
pedestal
table
is
positioned
up
front.
When
you’re
parked,
the
cab
seats
swivel
creating
perfect
seating
for
four
and
a
terrific
area
for
playing
games
or
dining.
Keep
in
mind,
the
moveable
pedestal
table
can
be
also
positioned
by
the
sofa
in
the
rear
of
the
coach.
The
ERA
features
a
Sony
AM/FM
stereo
and
CD
with
a

also
offered
–
the
Touring
and

You can pay a lot more money for a fancier version of this on the 2500 or particularly the 3500 chassis. But the 2500 chassis ERA is good value and good enough - everything about this ERA RT works well for 2 adults and 2 little kids on roadtrips so long as we don't want to live in it or try to pile too much weight in it. Even with the storage cabinet, it's a little light on luggage space, so don't forget the Thule hitch mounted trunk which will fit without an extender. We think the Sprinter may be the most competent vehicle ever produced even in the "industrial" version. You have to drive it to believe it.

:
I'm just starting to research Class B motorhomes, but I'd get one with twin beds. I'm a widow but frequently travel with a grandchild.
samiam
:
I love the Winnebago ERA but without the option of twin beds, we won't buy one. They would be much more convenient especially for older people.
Traveraler
:
The sofa is very nice but for two elder people twin beds would be much easier to get in and out of. For one person the sofa is ideal.
UP Retirees
:
We bought our ERA this summer at a substantial discount. We have driven it to California and back and love the manuverability and diesel mileage. My wife has mobility problems which makes this small unit ideal. We travel with Jake our 90 pound goldendoodle.
