Winnebago has always been a key player in the world of RV innovations and has earned a reputation for reliable quality and practical design to maximize both available space and comfort. Over the years, they have adapted to changing concerns within the industry while also introducing numerous proprietory manufacturing processes, key partnerships and collaborations, energy efficiency and more. Continue reading to learn about some of the latest innovations added to the Winnebago lineup of quality and design.
Technology & Energy Efficiency Collaborations
Winnebago has partnered with RV industry experts in technology and energy efficiencies solidifying its position as a leader in innovation. They have collaborated with EcoFlow to integrate efficient power solutions into many of their motorhomes with the introduction of the Winnebago x EcoFlow Power Kit Pro, a 5-in-1 power management system that combines essential components into a single, compact unit. This new innovation is a standard feature in the Revel 44E floorplan and as an optional upgrade to the Solis Pocket 36B.
Another valuable partner for Winnebago is Lithionics which provides advanced lithium batteries that deliver unparalleled power and efficiency for extended RV adventures. These lithium-ion batteries are built with the Lithionics Battery proprietary design called the NeverDie Battery Management System which provides numerous protective safety features. Winnebago Motorhomes with these convenient power systems include the Winnebago Revel, EKKO, View and Navion, and Journey.
Winnebago’s OnePlace control panel, made by Precision Circuits Inc., is the centralized RV systems center used in various Winnebago Motorhomes including the Revel, Revel Sport, View and Navion. This one stop panel allows you to both monitor and control various systems within your RV without having to move back and forth between systems such as your thermostat or generator. Additional, features found on the OnePlace control panel include tank monitoring, providing real-time readings to help manage water usage and waste disposal. You will also find your battery and power status, showing voltage usage for both your house and chassis batteries, along with shore power or generator status. System Controls allow you to operate your water pump, water heater and other essential systems directly from the panel.
Proprietary Design
Winnebago has long been a pioneer in the motorhome industry, frequently introducing innovations through its proprietary in-house designs to enhance the RV ownership experience. One of its most recent innovations is Winnebago Connect™, the first-of-its-kind intelligent RV platform that features intuitive control over numerous on-board systems. It also provides proactive notifications such as maintenance reminders, duration of off-grid power supply, smart energy management, pet monitoring and more. Users can control and monitor their RV systems remotely with the Winnebago Connect mobile app.
Winnebago designs often come to fruition when space needs to be maximized and usage needs to be as efficient as possible. Two examples of this practice are the Glide & Dine table, featured in the Winnebago Journey, and the Hi-Lo table in the Winnebago Vista and Sunstar. The Glide & Dine table is perfect for dining, mobile working, and more, and is built on a hidden track that allows the table to slide along the buffet to properly utilize the maximum available space. Comparatively, the Hi-Lo table that easily raises to provide a standing work space as well as storage beneath the table top.
Industry Partners
While Winnebago actively works with partnerships to enhance efficiency and provide convenient power solutions, they also collaborate with leading companies across the RV industry to deliver both comfort and style to your home on wheels. One such parnter example is Truma which manufactures advanced high-efficiency climate and water systems, including the AquaGo Comfort Plus tankless water heater, VarioHeat furnace, Aventa air conditioning and more. These systems are often managed through a single intuitive control panel, allowing you to easily set designed interior climate and water temperature. Truma appliances can be found throughout the Winnebago Motorhome lineup including in the Winnebago EKKO, Forza, View, Navion, Solis, Solis Pocket and Travato, just to name a few.
Another example is Corian® Solid Surface which provides solid surface countertops for many Winnebago motorhomes including the Vista, Sunstar, Travato, Journey, Forza, and Minnie Winnie. Being non-porous and resistant to stains, these countertops provide a modern blend of elegance and practicality to enhance the functionality of the kitchen space.
Winnebago has also partnered with Freightliner on the chassis found on both the Winnebago Forza and Winnebago Journey. The Winnebago Forza is built on the Freightliner XCS Chassis while the Winnebago Journey is built on the innovative XCM Chassis with an integrated Maxum II Foundation. Like a bridge, modular frames get their rigidity from an engineered truss structure. This allows more versatility with basement configuration to maximize the storage capacity in the Winnebago Journey.
Winnebago’s legacy of innovation and quality is reflected in its thoughtfully engineered spaces that deliver both function and comfort. These examples highlight just a few of Winnebago’s key partnerships and groundbreaking innovations that have cemented its place as a leader in the RV industry.
