This is a gamble for Winnebago, but I think there will be people buying this "C" just because of the high MPG (I think upper teens.)
There are a few nice features, such as the on-demand water heater. There are downsides as well. No slideouts is the biggest thing, but with a drop-down bed, it might not be as big a deal. The second downside is that this MH doesn't tow that much (2000 pound tow, 200 pound tongue which is enough for a cargo rack, but not much else.) One is definitely not hauling a toad with this rig. However, those downsides are not too bad, provided one doesn't mind packing up camp and using this to park at a county fair and such.
Just the MPG numbers will get it in the door in some households. Having similar fuel economy to a full size pickup truck is a lot easier to swallow than 8-10 MPG.
The price too is easy to swallow -- a couple thousand more than their "B", which is very strange (normally "B"s cost far more), so I would expect this to sell in the mid-70k range.
