Winnabego Vista

Does anyone fulltime in the Vista. We were wondering what is the horsepower and torque? What kind of gas mileage and how does it do in mountain driving. Thanks Tara
  • Thats why I worded it the way I did. Motorhomes are basically a year behind the chassis year, ie a 2020 Winnebago will usually bebuilt on a 2019 chassis. So,,, this year being a change year on powerplant from Ford, you have to be more specific.
    IF the OP is looking new, which engine becomes key.

    Depending on the year, hp, torque, and overall performance should be basically the same as all the other F-53 chassis units from them and the other manufacturers.
    If you are looking at new, it "could" be based on either of two engines, the old 6.8 V-10, or the new 7.3 V-8.

    But either way, it should not be appreciably different than other units from the same model year.

    For 2020 chassis these are the Ford numbers with the 7.3 engine.
