Winnebago has built a reputation for continuous innovation in the motorhome industry, and that dedication is shown throughout their entire lineup including their available Class C motorhomes. Available on both gas and diesel chassis, one key step in choosing the right RV is deciding which fuel-type is best for your planned adventures. Continue reading to learn more about the Class C Gas and Class C Diesel motorhomes offered by Winnebago.
Winnebago Class C – Gas
Winnebago Sunflyer – The Winnebago Sunflyer is built on either the Ford E350 or Ford E450 chassis depending on the floorplan and is estimated to achieve 8-12 MPG highway. There are 4 floorplans to choose from. Thoughtful floorplan options feature space-saving amenities like a Murphy+ bed, a coffee bar, and a rear gear garage, so you can choose the setup that fits your lifestyle. The Sunflyer is powered by wet cell batteries and a gasoline generator.
Winnebago EKKO 22A – Another Winnebago Class C gas motorhome is the Winnebago EKKO which is built on the Ford AWD Transit Chassis. The AWD capability of the EKKO coupled with its expansive storage for gear appeals to many adventurous RV guests. The EKKO combines the efficiency of a camper van, the added capacity of a Class C coach, and the enhanced capability of AWD to create not just a new model, but an entirely new type of RV. The EKKO achieves 15-17 MPG highway and measures 23′ in length. The Winnebago EKKO is powered by the Cummins Onan® QG 2800i gas generator, (1) 320-amp-hour lithium ion battery (2) 170-watt and (1) 115-watt solar panels (220-watts flexible surface solar panel w/optional pop-top) and a 2,000-watt pure sine wave inverter. You also have the option on the EKKO to remove the Cummins Onan QG 2,800i gas generator and you can also add (1) additional 320-amp-hour lithium ion battery (generator delete mandatory with this option.)
Winnebago Class C – Diesel
Winnebago View/Navion – The Winnebago Class C Diesel lineup includes the Winnebago View/Navion. These models are built on the proven Mercedes-Benz VS30 Sprinter Chassis which includes many safety enhancements and a fuel-efficient turbo-diesel 4-cylinder engine that provides plenty of towing power. This chassis also provides an estimated 16-18 MPG highway. With luxurious details and features throughout, the View offers industry-leading amenities that promise an unparalleled Class C experience, and with the dependable diesel-powered Sprinter chassis, you can stay in control, even off-grid. The View and Navion are each available in 3 floorplans each measuring 25’6″ in length. The View and Navion are powered by (1) 320-amp hour 12V Lithionics lithium battery, a RVMP 3,800-watt LP generator, a 2,000-watt pure sine wave DC/AC inverter and (2) 120-watt flexible surface solar panels. You have the option for a generator replacement package which includes a 960-amp hour Lithionics lithium battery pack, battery pack heating system and (4) 120-watt solar panels (not available with the LP generator).
Winnebago EKKO 23B – Another Winnebago Class C diesel motorhome option is the Winnebago EKKO 23B which is built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter VS30 chassis. The AWD ability of the EKKO coupled with the all seasons features make it the perfect RV for any season. The EKKO 23B can sleep up to 3 people standard. However, if you add in the optional Luno cab seat bed and pop-top, you can sleep up to 6 people in this compact RV. The 23B measures 24’6″ in length and has ample storage in the rear gear garage. The EKKO is powered by a single Lithionics lithium battery which provides 320 amp hours of energy, 530-watts of solar, and a 2,500-watt LP generator.
As you can see, Winnebago offers a number of options in their Class C lineup, from the gas powered Sunflyer and Winnebago EKKO 22A, to the diesel powered Winnebago View and Winnebago EKKO 23B. As you decide which Winnebago Class C is right for you, you will want to take into account your floorplan needs. Do you need a more expansive floorplan like the Sunflyer offers? Are you going to be primarily plugged in at a campsite or are you going to be taking your RV off-road? If you are going to be plugged in most of the time the Sunflyer may be right for you. Or, if you’ll be going off-grid, without shoreline power, for extended periods of time the Winnebago View and Navion or EKKO may be better suited for you. Do you need space to store adventure gear? If so, the large gear garage in the EKKO may be right for you.
