The exterior comes with the trademark “swoosh” design, and you can choose from the “Traditional” paint and “Contemporary” paint design. There’s also a variety of colors, from the non-descript brown and black of the “Beachwood” scheme or the eye-catching aqua-blue of the “Midnight” design, with new caps that match the color.
However, for the Grand Tour, it’s really the inside the matters. Taking a first look at the interior of the Grand Tour, you’ll almost think you’ve walked into a hotel’s Presidential Suite. Models come with quartz countertops, a retractable dining table, luxury furniture made of Ultra-leather, and an option for heated floors. Digital appliances include a Bose surround sound system, and HD televisions in the lounge and bedroom areas the motorhome also features the Maxum Chassis, which allows for a smoother ride. Technological innovations are not amiss, either. Features include dual GPS screens and MobilEye collision avoidance.

Winnebago Journey Class A 36’-42’ Diesel Pusher
Another Class A Diesel model, the Winnebago Journey was discontinued by Winnebago a few years ago. However, it’s still a very popular model on the used and rental markets. The Journey was notable for its brand-new exterior design, a new rendition of the much-loved Winnebago swoosh. The Journey also offered a smoother ride with the Maxum Chassis freightliner, as well as an efficient Cummins engine. Other driving features were a built-in GPS, with the Infotainment Center; cameras for clear rearview and side view, and a state-of-the-art surround sound system. Interior features also included bedroom and lounge area slides, a one-and-a-half bath, and a Samsung home entertainment system. A big draw to the Winnebago Journey was its amount of storage. In addition to the interior area, there was also 229 cubic feet of basement and exterior storage, so this is a perfect model for traveling families.
Winnebago Forza Class A 34’-38’ Diesel
The Winnebago Forza is an incredibly versatile model. Coming in five different floorplans ranging from 34’ to 38’, and sleeping anywhere from 5 to 8 people, the Forza can be a great option for many different drivers.

Winnebago Via Class A 25’ Diesel
Another retired model still widely available on the used market is the Winnebago Via. This is an excellent choice for those looking for smaller RV models. At 25’, the Via is easily maneuverable for less experienced motorhome drivers, but still offers the same level of comfort as other Winnebago models.

Built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, the Via makes the most of its smaller floorplan with an extremely versatile set-up.

Other amenities include a microwave/convection oven combo, and a 16-foot power awning to maximize space.
Winnebago Vista Class A 27’-36’ Gasoline Engine

The Vista has five different floor plans to choose from, sleeping up to 7 people, and each one has slide-out capability. The interior includes a StudioLoft bed and bunk beds, great for families.

Within the space, you’ll find a full kitchen with curved cabinets, an insulated sleeper deck above the driving area, and accessible storage spaces throughout, including above the bed.

Winnebago Minnie Winnie Class C 22’-31’ Gasoline
Another Class C model, the classic Minnie Winnie is incredibly versatile.

An extendable awning and optional theater seating combine with all this, so no matter where you are, you can still feel at home.
Travato Class B 21’ Diesel Campervan

It’s a perfect choice for short-term trips or minimalist on-the-road living.
Minnie Travel Trailer 18’-24’
Winnebago’s Minnie trailer line gives even more options for camping and on-the-road travel. The Micro Minnie runs from 18’ to 24’, while the larger Minnie model runs as long as 32’. The trailers are made to be light and easy to pull, maximizing fuel efficiency. The Micro Minnie is also narrower, increasing rearview visibility and safety. The Minnie line also keeps many of the luxuries that are present in Winnebago motorhomes, like a quality wood-paneling and design, a complete kitchen and an outdoor entertainment space. There’s also extra storage, making longer trips possible.
