The Winnebago Via is No Longer Built.

Even though it's not a "Diesel-Pusher" (It's a "Puller"): it sure is pretty!

It's built on the Sprinter Chassis: same as my Class C.

Normally called a FRED for front engine diesel.

A “puller” sounds more like a Front Wheel Drive chassis.


Regardless, nice size Class A — a little smaller than Axis/Vegas. I liked that narrower width allowed side walls to be straight, giving it a bit more conventional appearance than Axis/Vegas. Would like to see that size on E-Series chassis with small gas V8.

like the Thor Serrano, it's likely no longer a model Winnebago manufactures - when you go to their website, and click on Class A Diesels, only two show up - Horizon and Forza.

I also no longer see the Tour or Grand Tour, unless they are marketing those under the other brand, Country Coach, though I don't see them under their website either.

I wasn't aware of the term "FRED": Thanks!

We had a Thor ACE 29.2 (gas A) before our Palazzo and the rough ride and noise of the ACE where the primary reasons for moving to the Palazzo and would never go back to a gas A. We wanted a little bigger too, but less than 35' to ensure we could still fit in all the State Park "30 foot" sites.

Many of the Winnebago Class A's Say "Dealer Stock Only" if clicked on Floorplan links.

Thor used same language on discontinued Axis/Vegas floorplans also for quite a while after they stopped production. I noticed last week they finally dropped some Axis/Vegas floorplans from website that were designated “dealer only”.

I keep checking website occasionally looking for a Hymer Class A clone. Yeah, I know, like it’s going to happen.

Hymer doesn't have the alphabet's first letter in their vocabulary.
