Winnebago Via class A motorhome exterior 


Winnebago says: "The revolutionary new Via offers full Class A comfort, unparalleled fuel economy and SmartSpace design elements you won’t find in any other motor home. It’s the first Class A motor home built on the versatile Dodge Sprinter chassis, featuring a Mercedes-Benz turbo-diesel engine and automotive drivability. It even comes in two 25-foot models, including a full-wall slide on the 25R. The future of motor homes is here: the Winnebago Via."

Winnebago says that the Via is the culmination of an extensive two-year development process and sees it as a groundbreaking motorhome. "With innovative new features and construction, contemporary design, and record-breaking fuel economy, the new Via is a motorhome for the future."

We show pictures of the interior below. 

Winnebago Via class A motorhome interior - main living area 

The Via is only 25-foot long but it is roomy inside and certainly has the "unique form and function" that Winnebago claims. The driver’s side, front slideout room includes a sofa and a dining table with a removable pedestal base that may easily be moved to serve the driver and passenger seats as well (see the floorplans below.)  Mounted on the wall to the rear of the slideout, there's a 26-inch LCD TV that is mounted so that it can slide horizontally to be viewed when the slide is in.
 

Winnebago Via class A motorhome - kitchen, galley area 

The galley, shown above, features light-weight, curved cabinets in a choice of Sunset Cherry or Mocha Cherry and a unique decorative backsplash. There is a two-burner range-top and stainless steel sink with glass covers to expand the available counter-space and a microwave/convection oven. With a removable freezer unit, the unique Dometic refrigerator is 6.2 cubic feet with the freezer and 7.0 cubic feet without.
 

Winnebago Via class A motorhome - studio loft drop-down bed 

Winnebago says: "Sleeping accommodations in the Via are also one of a kind. The 25T features raised twin beds in the rear of the motorhome. With the exclusive Flex Bed Kit option, the twin beds join to form a comfortable, large 59 x 87-inch bed. A 19-inch LCD TV is also featured in the bedroom area of the coach.

Another drop-down bed, Studio Loft (shown above) is integrated into the ceiling of the cab area. In the sleep position, the bed is a low, 43.5 inches off the floor, providing easy access into the bed. An integrated privacy shade surrounds the front and sides of the bunk for privacy. The bottom of the bed is constructed of molded automotive-grade headliner for a quieter cockpit and an automotive appearance."

Finally, we show the cockpit.  "In the cab area, the Via provides a high level of quality and functionality, starting with the true automotive dashboard. Maneuvering in heavy traffic is a snap with side and rear cameras that are included as standard equipment which may be viewed on the in-dash LCD screen incorporated into the radio. A convenient powered sun visor eliminates the need to stand up to adjust the sunshades."

Other highlights include the new Intellisense monitor panel that incorporates a LCD panel readout with touch screen technology, and the new Threshold RV Door.
We think the Via really is a beautiful and well thought-out coach with "unique form and function."
 
Congratulations Winnebago.

BGI picked up my new Via in Portland (Olinger Travel). First, though I love it there are some serious design flaws. The power awning hangs up on the door, does not close tight against the coach and that causes wind noise that sounds like you have hit the warning strip on the highway, the refrigerator frosts up in less that two weeks, the bed has an unusual shape and thus standard sheets don't fit right, the wiring on the inverter is not the right guage causing the inverter to make noise, and the water pump is very noisy. It is however a great rig with mileage as advertised and it handles well in heavy wind (except for the wind noise).
CurtisI just got the new Via and I love it. The swivel seat, the room, outside storage and ofcourse the gas milage is top notch
StefIs 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. :>)
haroldI like the idea but the price is height. the bed over the drivers seat is an old idea used in a german mh years ago.
SkipJWhere will owners of Sprint based RV's get service now that Dodge will no longer be selling them, after Jan 1st? Can Mercedes dealers handle motor homes?
Rory 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.
Curtis 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.
porscheracerWe have an '08 View 24H, as well as an '05 Winnebago Vectra 36RD. Each is the best of its world. The View, although somewhat cramped compared to a larger unit, is the perfect "sprinter". It returns an honest 15MPG in mixed driving, and drives like a van. We have had it for 5 months, put 5000 miles on it, and have had exactly zero problems. Winnebago are great.
