"The recessionary mindset of 'let's just survive' is officially
over," said Winnebago Industries' Chairman, CEO and President
Randy Potts. "This is not your
father's Winnebago Industries and the 2013 products are just a
start. We are no longer doing business the way we have always
done it in the past. We are here to succeed."
A brand new Winnebago Vista Rally and Itasca Sunstar Sport 26HE were introduced for
2013. "This new ultra-value, entry level Class A product is the
result of an accelerated product development process unlike
anything we've done before," said Potts. "The process involved
teams from nearly all areas of the company. The teams were
challenged and empowered to become champions of change. The results
were everything we had hoped for. The Vista Rally and Sunstar Sport being introduced today are great
looking products, they're loaded with standard features; and best
of all, they're priced to be fantastic values!"
The new 2013 Winnebago Journey and Itasca Meridian models
feature new exterior styling, new logos, six all-new paint schemes
and the new 34B floorplan. The 34B features a full wall slide
for added spaciousness in this shorter diesel floorplan. An
extendable sectional Comfort Sofa/Sleeper, as well as extendable
dining table, chairs and buffet with retractable 40-inch LCD HDTV
make this floorplan hard to beat. The Maxum chassis featured
on these units delivers powerful and nimble performance with its
lowered rail design that creates cavernous storage compartments
with up to 220 cubic feet of exterior storage capacity.
A new 42GD floorplan joins the top-of-the-line Winnebago Tour
and Itasca Ellipse lineup for 2013 and features a front driver side
galley with pullout island, an incredibly large walk through bath
featuring our own Big Shower and a powered king bed with Ideal Rest
digital control mattress. Entertainment features include the
exclusive HDMI 4 x 4 Matrix system that allows customers to watch
high definition video from multiple sources at multiple TV's
including the front 40-inch LCD HDTV and a mid-coach 55-inch LCD
HDTV. For 2013, customers can even choose the convenience of
an "all electric" coach, with features such as an induction cook
top that eliminates the need for L.P. Glazed hardwood cabinetry,
polished porcelain tile flooring and Corian countertops provide a
crowning touch of elegance throughout the Tour and Ellipse.
Adding to the excitement is the first showing of Winnebago branded towable products at Dealer
Days in over 30 years. Winnebago Industries' towables lineup on
display also includes SunnyBrook products including new floorplans
in the Sunset Creek Sport, 296RE, Raven 3300CK fifth wheel
and 2500KS travel trailer and all new Remington line. Remington is
available in eight floorplans in market segments from ultra-lite
travel trailers to mid-profile fifth wheel trailers that are
perfect for the budget minded consumer.
This new SunnyBrook lineup provides great floorplans, an
outstanding look and an even better value in key high volume market
segments.
The innovative new Winnebago Minnie travel trailer also debuts
at Dealer Days and joins the Winnebago brand lineup that includes
the Winnebago ONE and Winnebago Lite Five. The all new
Minnie is light weight, price conscious and offers an attractive
interior, along with a fresh, fun, exterior in lemon, lime or white
exterior colors.
