See reader's opinions at bottom of page

FOREST CITY, Iowa - July 2009 - Winnebago Industries, the nation’s top-selling motorhome manufacturer, unveiled its 2010 lineup at the Company’s Winnebago Itasca Travelers Club Grand National Rally. This year’s lineup has a more concentrated effort on fuel efficient vehicles, unique and innovative floorplans, dynamic styling as well as a stronger diesel presence.

“Our 2010 model lineup is without a doubt the best we’ve ever offered, and what better group to show it to first than our own, loyal owners,” said Winnebago Industries’ Chairman of the Board, CEO and President Bob Olson. “From top to bottom we’ve raised the bar in creating innovative products with exciting floorplans and features with an emphasis on form, function and styling.

We’ve added diesel availability to our entire Class A lineup including the amazingly fuel efficient Winnebago Via and Itasca Reyo - the first Class A coaches built on the Dodge/Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. Add in our industry leading Class C products, and our 2010 lineup has something for everyone.”

Highlights of Winnebago Industries’ new 2010 lineup include:

Fuel efficient Winnebago Via and Itasca Reyo - The Winnebago Via and Itasca Reyo are the first Class A diesel motor homes built on the fuel efficient Dodge/Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. These 25-foot, fresh, innovative and fully equipped motor homes are slated to provide the highest fuel efficiency currently available in a Class A motor home, along with superior handling and maneuverability.

Top-of-the-line Class A diesel Winnebago Tour and Itasca Ellipse - The premium 2010 Tour and Ellipse go to new lengths this year with three new floorplans and one modified floorplan, complete with an exciting new 42-foot tag axle model. The quad-slide 42AD is feature-filled with such highlights as a unique sectional sofa, 40-inch LCD TV, fully equipped galley and upscale cab area including UltraLeather cab seats with a new heated seat option for 2010.

Winnebago Vista and Itasca Sunstar - Enhanced interior styling and an all-new exterior look are just two of the features of the totally-redesigned Vista and Sunstar for 2010. These value priced Class A motor homes even offer a front engine diesel option for improved mileage, as well as a new 30W floorplan for 2010.

Increased fuel efficiency for Winnebago Sightseer and Itasca Sunova - Winnebago Industries’ most popular Class A product lines, the Winnebago Sightseer and Itasca Sunova, were taken to a new level for 2010 with enhanced exterior and interior styling and the added availability of a front engine diesel option for greater fuel efficiency. The Sightseer and Sunova are available in four floorplans, including a new 33-foot model for 2010.

New model offerings in Winnebago Journey, Journey Express and Itasca Meridian, Meridian V Class - The diesel Winnebago Journey and Itasca Meridian, as well as the new Winnebago Journey Express and Itasca Meridian V Class form an unbeatable combination in 2010. Each features two exciting floorplans and a host of key features. The new Journey Express and Meridian V Class are value leaders, while the Journey and Meridian are built on Winnebago Industries’ Maxum chassis and offer maximum storage and a host of floorplan configurations for true floorplan flexibility.

 Unbeatable Winnebago Adventurer and Itasca Suncruiser - The Winnebago Adventurer and Itasca Suncruiser lines are an RVer’s dream and will be hard to beat with five exciting floorplans, three of which are new or modified for 2010. Well rounded chassis selections give the Adventurer and Suncruiser even broader appeal with a selection of Ford, Workhorse and new for 2010, is the availability of Freightliner’s popular front engine diesel (FRED) chassis on particular models.
.
New Winnebago View Profile - This Sprinter chassis based “low-profile” Class C combines innovative design, creative use of space and fuel efficiency in a compact package that delivers full-size comfort and livability.

“Prior to this retail unveiling, our dealer body was introduced to the new lineup, and the feedback we’ve received has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Olson.
“I’m amazed and excited to see that Winnebago Industries was able to invest so aggressively in new product design for 2010,” said Lindsay Reines, president of Reines RV, Manassas, Va. “We assumed manufacturers would simply re-label 2009 as 2010 in light of current market conditions.”
“I’m real excited about the new products, especially the Via and Reyo on the Sprinter cowl chassis,” said Franklin Jackson of John Bleakley RV Center, Douglasville, Ga. “I think these products will be great for our customers looking for an economical and smaller Class A. The new Journey Express and Meridian V Class look great too, and the new 42-foot Tour and Ellipse will be sure to be a hit.”

Re: Winnebago Via class A motorhomeStefIs it true that the Via & Reyo only have ONE door? No driver or passenger door?? Has anyone seen this in person? All I've seen are the photos & videos on Winnebago's web site. Seems to me like it would be a safety issue.Otherwise I love the configurations. Prefer maple cabinetry but that's just me. :>)See RoTi item
Re:Winnebago OutlookPat SpechtI am suspecting that we may have the battery drain problem in 2007 Outlook Winni. When it is unplugged for a day or so the engine battery gets very weak even after making sure that everything is turned off. House batteries seem to maintain the charge. We suspect a switch that is not functioning properly?See RoTi item
Re: Winnebago View Class CaussieI really cant get over this `obsession' that Americans have that a `dodge' isnt supported anymore dodge hasnt been available anywhere apart from America for the last 3 decades It's a Merc sprinter parts available worldwide (far more so than any Chrysler bits) and turbo diesels rule the roads v8 (v10's in america???- say whhhaaa) I see all the camper owners in america complaining about 8-10 mpg well you should be I get about 28 mpg in a bigger 4 tonner ( thats about 8800 pounds according to wiki) makes me wonder what I am doing right or you guys are doing really wrong... ?????See RoTi item

Re: 2010 Winnebago ERA class B motorhomeUP RetireesWe 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.See RoTi item
Re: Winnebago Destination class A motorhomePia PiaquintoIt sounds like an electric golf cart. Need to gun the gas to see if it is running. In 8,000 miles we were never passed by a diesel pusher on any degree of hill.AND we tow a small Honda. The interior cabinets are well designed aesthetically and well constructed. The exterior and interior are all 1st class. We exchanged the outside mirrors for chrome and now we look like a 300K rig.Inside we upgraded the carpet and put in corian on the counters. The bathroom sink is el cheapo so we exchanged plastic for stainless. This is a dazzling unit for just over 100K.Tough competition in todays tight economy. Winnebago has a winner.See RoTi item

Re: Winnebago View Class Cchris we just bought a 2009 view 24H. After one weekend trip, we also find it much easier to drive than our last RV - a 21 ft Four winds. My husband and I look forward to traveling and think the View will be perfect for longer trips across county. We would enjoy meeting and traveling with new friends from FL if we ever get down there from our current home in northern IL.See RoTi item

Re: Winnebago Aspect class C motorhomeBrianWe have a 2005 Forest River on a Ford E450 chassis that we like. Looking to move on and this looks perfect. Like the interior and the 28B layout. Not sure about the 30C with the stove in the slideout right next to the sofa.See RoTi item

Re: Winnebago Via class A motorhomeRory BlenkinI really think this is nice. 15mpg sounds good to me. I'm stuck with a 7mpg gas guzzler I've been trying to sell for 2 years. When I get the money I think I'll go for this. The long slideout model is the one I would prefer but I'm not sure about the fact that the one on the inside has to climb over the one on the outside during the night. Maybe the other model is better.See RoTi item
Re: Winnebago Via class A motorhomeCurtis I've had 2 winnebagos and 1 itasca and I liked them. I was thinking of going for a class B maybe the Winnebago ERA because I was thinking class A's are too big. But this is smaller and looks really good. Going to look at it. Thanks for the review.See RoTi item
2001 Winnebago AdventurerTerryWe are newbies to the RV World and have been looking for awhile and finally found one that we both like and would love to hear pros and cons. The Winnebago Adventurer is a 2001 amd has 60,000 miles and is gas.See RoTi item

2007 Winnebago Aspect, class CM. FarriBought a new 2007, 30 ft Aspect in 2008. So far we have put approx 3,000 miles on it with no problems. The Ford V 10 has excellent power and the brakes are fantastic. We love it! My only complaint is that Ford can do a little better job with the chassis in terms of handling. Inflating the rear air bags to over 60lbs really helped. I also found out that my TV's won't work on antenna without a digital converter box. This is a problem if your TV is built in. I was afraid of messing up the wood work to pull the TV out so I went to the dealer. You will have to remove the TV. He knew what pieces of wood to remove without damaging the cabinets. We did it in 45 minutes. Other than that, a great coach.See RoTi item
Re: Winnebago ERA class B motorhomeJohnI think this has always been my perfect vehicle. I'd love to travel around the country in one of these. Either this or a Roadtreck.See RoTi item

Re: Winnebago Vectra Class ASlow ElkIf you shop around you will find that Winnebago is one of the only manufactures that put fiberglass roofs on ALL their rigs. I was told by other companies that it is too expensive to do that with their lower line of motorhomes.See RoTi item
Re: Winnebago Adventurer class A motorhomeDarthvagrantA "Hybrid" vehicle that would have to weigh in excess of 20,000#? Wow! I can see an improvement from 9 MPG tpo 9.5 MPG at an additional cost of $4500. for the "Hybrid" system. 20,000# PLUS batteries, that is. I think someone is on drugs.See RoTi item
Re: Winnebago introduce the first hybrid RVCaseyTo madbeachdogs: This is a concept RV, I don't think it's in full production and on sale yet so there isn't a price decided yet. The ordinary Adventurer starts at $127k but this is not at all the same. I'm sure details will be on Roaming Times once the production model is available.See RoTi item
Re: Winnebago introduce the first hybrid RVJason HughesWe really NEED to do things. I'm not sure this is enough but it sure is a start. Until someone figures out a real alternative to the internal combustion engine this is good. If the price of fuel rises more (and I think it will big time) this is going to look better and better. Go Winnebago.See RoTi item
Re: Winnebago introduce the first hybrid RVHomerI see no claims for this hybrid. I am sure they have tested it and pretty much know what it will do. This is an endurance trip it is on now. If you use the big diesel, and add electric motors and batteries. You have priced most people out of the market. I think it is a step in the right direction but lets find something that is really affordable. See RoTi item
Re: Winnebago introduce the first hybrid RVCliffPAFor the rest of us. I hope someone is considering a minimal, think the classic VW camper, using diesel or hybrid, so travel would be possible at low cost and low carbon footprint. $30000 and 35 mpg should be possible! It could be based on any of the diesel powered minivans or vans currently sold in Europe or other markets outside of the U.S and Canada.See RoTi item
Re: Winnebago introduce the first hybrid RVKevinThis is not on the gas chassis even though it's called an Adventurer, it's on the ecoFRED chassis. There's a link to an article about the chassis at the top of the page under the picture. It's a Freightliner chassis.See RoTi item
Re: Winnebago introduce the first hybrid RVJack PetersI am confused as to why Winnebago would chose what is normally a gas chassis to test a Hybrid Diesel configuration. I assume this is a front engine and would like to know what kind of mileage is expected from the coach. I have owned only one Winnebago, an Elanden, but I was impressed how advanced it technology was compared with others. I am now the owner of a Foretravel U270.See RoTi item
Re: Winnebago introduce the first hybrid RVBen 47I've had 2 Winnebagos and both were good. Glad to hear they were the first with the hybrid. Like to try one. It says this is just a concept vehicle so I'm thinking they're not available yet.See RoTi item

Re: Winnebago introduce the first hybrid RVHeatherI like the concept and hope other manufacturers do the same. I wonder how much this improves the fuel consumption? Still think all manufacturers need to do much much more. Fuel prices are going to be a big problem.See RoTi item
Re: Winnebago introduce the first hybrid RVDanaMitePlease cater to us green people (and the little purple people too).

Re: Winnebago ERA Class BladebugI've had mine for 2 months now. Almost every weekend, I head to southern Utah. I LOVE this puppy. Great for 1 or 2 people, my bike, kayak, and general camp gear.
