A golddie oldie that I stumbled across

I have no interest in this. Found it on another site. I did not know that Winnebago made this.

Winnebago bought back the Spectrum's due to the rear engines overheating. They were very innovative and included rubber hinges on storage doors as well as other advanced features. Later, they were sold to Special Interest Vehicles who supposedly was able to resolve the engine problems. Looking at their website, it appears they have a few new conversions available! SIV Link

I agree. But, if you think about it, there's only so much you can do in a 8'x 30 or 40' rectangle. 🙂

Still pretty sleek looking.

Reminds me of something I saw at the Pomona RV show around that time
IIRC it was called the ultra, I remember remarking to my date, that it was a lot like the GMCs that were no longer Mfg

Winnebago's 1988-1989 effort to emulate the GMC Motorhome of that era. ... very similar in appearance. Winnebago's effort did not pan out.

Actually, not really one of a kind as they manufactured about a hundred of that model.

That's a one of a kind and looks in very good shape. Rear engine Ford but looks like the radiator is up front, tag axle leading the drive axle along with a custom chassis. Other than not having slides the general layout isn't much different that my coach.

This one is not in the catalog archive. There is some styling resemblance to the low-profile Itasca Windcruiser from this era, but that was more conventional, on a front engine Chevy chassis with a tag axle.

I think the price is pretty low for something that probably belongs in a museum.

After doing a search, seems that the Spectrum was manufactured for one model year with a relationship to Winnebago industries --
(whatever that means).

Cool rig. Thanks for sharing. :C
