Gee,No More Winnebago/Itasca Elipse/Tour/GrandTour/ElpsUltra

Wow, Winnebago/Itasca stopped making the Ellipse/Tour/Grand Tour, Ellipse Ultra. :?

[wallynm]

They were making the Brave, Indian, and a few other ones when we starting RVing. The names come and go. Now Ford is talking about making a Mustang SUV. Some of these names changes make little to no sense but to try to fool the unaware and uninformed. Need to do your due diligence before plunking down your $$

Haven't heard this. Do you have a source?

well if you go to their website, under Class A DP's all they offer is the Horizon and Forza. Even the journey is gone. I called Lichtsinn and they said the last ones made were in 2017.
Remember the 2016 had the Rear Radiator when most other yrs and 2017 had the side radiators? that struck me as odd too.

Interesting. At the Tampa show in January they had a Journey there and they said it was new. Maybe it was a 2017. I didn't bother to look at the side plate to see.

Well since they bought out all the rights to the Country coach brand and the facilities, Hopefully they'll come out with a "Mixture" between the Country coach and the Tour.

Just my opinion. Look very cold and European.

Looks like the Sightseer I own is now an Adventurer 33C.

I need a Refresh, but I don't wanted to be Branded, that would hurt to much

X2 the auto companies have done this for years.

[Lwiddis]

Your comments on ”marketing and branding” guys is...so...correct! Now I need to refreshen up.

[way2roll]

Not surprising. RV manufacturers come out with new lines to replace old ones all the time. In order to stay competitive they have to refresh the brand. Very normal. And it's just a name, lots of the same configurations and parts with a different badge and theme. It's called marketing and branding and its focus is to bring your attention(and money) with something "new" and shiny.

[wildtoad]

So have they or are they coming out with a new line or equivalent models?
