America’s best selling class A diesel pusher returns home to Forest City, IA production with the unveiling of the all new Winnebago Journey!
Built atop the Freightliner XCM modular rail bridge chassis, the Journey will be known not only for its versatile floorplan designs with the latest in residential living comforts and technology, but for the new automotive infused design that provides for the quietest, and most visible ride in the industry.
Inspired in development from automotive design experts with focus in quiet performance and aerodynamic design, you’ll first notice the front aerodynamic design raked to minimize wind whip, with a composite front end that wraps behind the driver in passenger in the most insulated front end in the RV industry to provide the quietest ride and quietest living while running the generator.
Chassis
The all new Winnebago Journey is built atop the Freightliner XCM modular bridge chassis, which, like a bridge, a modular frame gets its rigidity from an engineered truss structure, which can adapt in lengths from 34 and 36 upwards of 40 ft. Construction of the new modular bridge chassis with huck bolts become integral original metal bonding to the chassis metal itself to ensure flush, level flooring, which alleviates creaks and pops in transit. This design provides a 4x stiffer torsion on the chassis to ensure superior ride and handling along with quiet travels along the way.
- The coach is powered by the side radiator mounted Cummins ISL bosting 1,150 lb ft of torque or power. The side radiator engine location allows for flush floor bathroom and bedroom navigation!
- Mated up to a 6 speed automatic Allison transmission
- All Journeys will have a standard 10,000 lb factory installed tow package
- The Freightliner Opti-View dash with available Xcite Nav N Go 12.3 Infotainment provides automotive experiences that keep your eyes on the road
- High performance LED front lighting is 30% brighter than current class A diesel pushers
- The largest curved one piece panoramic windshield provides critical view of lower stanchions and other obstacles lower than the horizon dash view of other diesel pushers, while providing full visibility to each of the tear drop larger chrome side mirrors
- Investments have also been made in larger Michelin tires than competing class A diesel pushers for superior ride and handling
