FOREST CITY, Iowa, April 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Winnebago
Industries, Inc. ®, (NYSE:WGO), a leading United States (U.S.) recreation vehicle
manufacturer, today unveiled exciting new 2015 models to the
Company's dealer partners at The Mirage in Las Vegas, NV.
It was "Out Of This World" as Winnebago® showcased the new 2015
lineup and the debut of several all-new products, including the
all-new Brave® and Tribute™, Grand
Tour® and Ellipse® Ultra motorhome lines
unveiled at the event.
The Brow is Back! Winnebago has blended vintage with a modern
twist with the introduction of the all-new Brave and Tribute.
In the '60's and '70's, there was no mistaking a Winnebago motorhome with the distinctive
"eyebrow" design and flying W logo. It was the motorhome that
made America fall in love with the RV lifestyle. The new Brave and
Tribute breathe new life into the legendary design, providing the
opportunity to re-live childhood memories for a new generation of
motorhome enthusiasts. Beyond the retro styling, the Brave
and Tribute are loaded with today's best features and offered in
two versatile floorplans with exciting color schemes like Good
Vibration with Cherry Cola Cherry
cabinets, as well as a price to fit the budget of a young,
traveling family.
"This is the most exciting product launch I've ever been
involved with," said Winnebago Industries' Chairman, CEO and
President Randy Potts. "The
new Brave and Tribute are going to take the market by storm.
The retro, yet modern image they project is fun, while they offer
great new features that are sure to capture the eye of new
buyers."
Also making its debut at the event is the new Grand Tour which
takes luxury to the next level. Winnebago's flagship Class A diesel pusher
just got grander with the new Grand Tour and its counterpart, the
Ellipse Ultra. The tag-axle Grand Tour and Ellipse Ultra each
feature unique, high end features such as a large skylight with
powered shade in the front lounge/cab area, polished porcelain tile
flooring, keyless entry, and four full-body paint packages.
Multiplex switch panels located throughout the all-electric coach
allow you to control exterior and interior lights, hydraulic jacks,
MCD power shades, slideout rooms, and more.
Several 2015 products received exterior re-designs, including
the Class A gas-powered Vista and Sunstar lines, Class A diesel Via
and Reyo lines and the Class C View and Navion on the 24V and
24Gfloorplans. New standard features are included across the
all product lines, and exciting new floorplans are also included in
the Journey, Meridian, Vista, Sunstar, Tour and Ellipse motorhome
lines.
Winnebago Towables is also debuting the new Micro Minnie trailer
and two new fifth wheels: the Voyage and Latitude. The new
Micro Minnie trailer is ready to hit the road at under 3,000 pounds
and features a new cool gray exterior color. The Voyage and
Latitude lines provide exciting new mid-profile and full-profile
fifth-wheel choices in Winnebago's
fifth-wheel lines. In addition, the Ultralight line has been
expanded to six available floorplans. The Ultralight and the
Voyage both offer graphic options and corresponding LED lights that
are in color choices of red, green or blue.
"They hit the nail on the head with the new Brave retro look,"
said Carl Jensen from Sierra RV,
Sunset, UT. "The updated interior styling was wonderful and
the colors are bright and fresh. The new Brave and Tribute
will appeal to all ages."
