Winnebago ERA 70C

Lichtsinn RV has pictures and a video of the Winnebago ERA 70C. It looks more upscale than their other models. The interior looks great especially the kitchen with a long usable counter, tons of storage and a large fridge. It has Alde hydronic heating and that large dry bath. Fresh water is 45 gallons with 25 gray and 22 black. Other nice features are the skylight, screen door and charging station. Price is 122,939. The negative for me is that small sofa/bed.

  • The slide has to be out for the couch to be deployed as a bed, in case that question comes up
  • The couch can't be any wider. It has to fit the cut out where a sliding door would go on the driver's side.
  • Not sure I'm keen on this layout. Leery about a slideout in a van, as well as the short length of the couch - it may be better to forgo one of the closets and make the couch wider.

    Lot's of clever cool features - a Winnebago hallmark. It should be a good value too - probably a transaction price around $100k without too much effort.

    Another thing - at least they had the good sense to put in bigger tanks to go with that bigger bathroom. Many manufacturers don't have the good sense to do that.

    I stand corrected, it is a 2013 70A. they had something that was very similar to the 70C, had a frosted glass solid swing door to the rear bath.

    It's probably a 70 A in MD. The 70C is a brand new model that just came out, (released), this past week.

    To the OP, it has some nice features and equipment, and large tanks, but not at $12k more than the price of the 70A or X......
    You can get the glossy cabinets in the 70A now at a $500. premium.
    That little couch/bed, and the fact that you have to have the slide out, I think, to be able to deploy the bed, is a deal killer for us
