RV Business

Winnebago Industries Inc. (NYSE: WGO), a leading outdoor lifestyle product manufacturer, is showcasing its innovative lineup of new models from signature RV brands – Winnebago, Grand Design RV and Newmar – at the RV industry’s premiere dealer product expo, the Elkhart RV Open House, Sept. 26-30, in Elkhart, Ind.

Across its three flagship brands, Winnebago Industries will feature more than 150 new models with innovative features and floorplans, as well as unique digital tools that help dealers and consumers throughout the shopping, sales, and ownership journey.

“Winnebago, Grand Design RV and Newmar each offer something different to consumers, but one of the common threads uniting the three brands is a commitment to personally engage with customers and dealers, focus on their evolving needs and continuously innovate and improve our products and services,” said Winnebago Industries President and CEO Michael Happe. “It’s exciting to share this innovation with our dealer partners at Open House.”

Winnebago will showcase a robust line up of travel trailers and motorhomes designed for enhanced travel off-grid, as well as for family adventures in comfort. Building on recent launches, including the limited-edition National Park Editions (NPF) Solis and Vista/Sunstar, Winnebago will feature:

The New HIKE 100 FLX towable combines the compact rugged features of the HIKE 100 with the high-tech capabilities of the Micro Minnie FLX, enabling adventure seekers to go off-grid and off-road for up to five days. It is light enough to be towed behind a small SUV, has ample storage, enhanced Wi-Fi and a long-lasting Lithium battery. With large 16-inch off-road tires, the Hike 100 FLX and Hike 100 are the first trailers to feature the BAL Independent Suspension, providing the highest and widest ground clearance in the industry.
The HIKE 200 Concept takes owners off the beaten path more comfortably than ever. With larger holding tanks and a patented exoskeleton, this new towable can stow and haul even the bulkiest gear. Its narrow body, power stabilization jacks, dual axles and factory-installed solar panels make going off-road and off-grid a snap. Full-size beds, dinette, galley, and ceilings allow owners to recharge for their next adventure.
All Minnie, Micro Minnie and Voyage travel trailer floorplans showcase new decor and design upgrades. The new 2630MLRK Minnie is a 30-foot trailer with versatility for work and play, while the Micro Minnie 1720FB is a new dual axle, non-slide floorplan, maintaining lower weight with full-feature amenities. In addition to new interiors, the Voyage offers a larger shower while maintaining shorter length- and lower-weight floorplans.
The 30th Anniversary Adventurer motorhome features new theater seating with power recline, heat and massage; a king bed on all floorplans; a larger “StudioLoft” bunk, which comfortably sleeps two adults; special design details to commemorate the 30th Anniversary milestone; SumoSprings for enhanced handling; 4G LTE Wi-Fi; and more.

To address the evolving needs of dealers and consumers, Winnebago has new digital solutions to make shopping for and owning an RV easier. Enhanced tools on Winnebago.com enable customers to receive an estimate of their vehicle’s trade-in value, to see available inventory at nearby dealers and to make an appointment. A new Winnebago app, available on iOS and Android, teaches owners about their vehicle’s key features and systems, directs them to service providers and offers relevant information at their fingertips.

Grand Design RV, a perennial leader in quality and customer satisfaction for travel trailers, fifth-wheels, and toy haulers, will showcase a variety of new towables designed with today’s consumers in mind. Additionally, Grand Design is introducing all new interiors across the flagship Imagine, Reflection, Solitude and Momentum lines featuring lighter, modern finishes including on-trend earth tones and updated aesthetics. Grand Design will feature:

The new Imagine A IM Series expands the award-winning Imagine travel trailer line into the growing single-axle segment, with lightweight, compact models designed to be towed by mid-size SUVs. With new floorplans appealing to both off-grid enthusiasts and get-out-of-town weekenders, AIM welcomes more consumers to the road. Features include modern interiors; a spacious eight-foot-wide platform; a four-seasons arctic package with an enclosed, heated underbelly; an outside cooking griddle, and more.
The new Momentum M.A.V. Toy Hauler is a lighter, more affordable toy hauler which maintains the excellent quality and functionality that consumers expect from Grand Design. With modern interiors, flexible floorplans and ample storage, the Momentum M.A.V. will enable even more consumers to experience memorable outdoor adventures while enjoying the comfortable and stylish features of a Grand Design RV.
The new Momentum 410TH Toy Hauler features a new “Inspired By” floorplan which was developed in collaboration with Grand Design Lifestyle Ambassadors and full-time RVers, Chad & Tara of Changing Lanes.
