Notes:
All information is based upon the most recent data available. Visit the Winnebago Industries, Inc. web page – www.winnebagoind.com – for the most current product information.
- The height of each model is measured to the top of the tallest standard feature and is based on the curb weight of a typically equipped unit. The actual height of your vehicle may vary by several inches depending on chassis or equipment variations. Contact your dealer for further information. 2 Floorplans feature a wide-body design – over 96″. You should be aware that some states restrict access on some or all state roads to 96″ in body width. You should confirm the road usage laws in the states of interest to you.
- The load capacity of your motor home is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading your motor home.
- Capacities are based on measurements prior to tank installation. Slight capacity variations can result upon installation.
- Capacities shown are the tank manufacturer’s listed water capacity (W.C.). Actual filled propane capacity is 80% of listing due to overfilling prevention device on tank.
- Actual towing capacity is dependent on your particular loading and towing circumstances which includes the GVWR, GAWR, and GCWR as well as adequate trailer brakes. Refer to the chassis operator’s manual of your motor home for further towing information.
