Winnebago Arka Off-Road Motorhome

[Larry N.]

I just got an email from Transwest (my RV dealer) that Winnie has a new motorhome out, for off-roading, reminds me a bit of EarthRoamer:

Winnebago ARKA | Off-Road, All-Season, Off-Grid Ready RV

Discover the ARKA RV, built for rugged terrain, all-season comfort, and extended off-grid living with modular design and smart connected controls.

Ought to get a small but enthusiastic market.

I was excited about Winnebago’s Ekko when it first came out, but the reviews were just awful. Class C set up from the factory for off-grid with lots of practical doodads to help! I hope Winnebago succeeds in their quest for more rugged vehicles. Their purchase of Newmar gives them a nice upscale market, and they are developing their own Class C and van market.

At least they are using a RAM. Saw one similar last year on a 6500 RAM. Need deep pockets to own these.

Yeah…. They sure didn’t show much of the inside of the RV. Just a lot of weird music and kickin’ up dust!
