Winnebago ERA 70C

beckley's in Frederick, MD., has a used one in stock. huge rear bath, only bed was the small sofa bed. at least I assume it was the 70 C from your description. was an ERA with Lichtsinn lettering on it.

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

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.

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.

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.

The slide has to be out for the couch to be deployed as a bed, in case that question comes up

the one that sounded sorta SIMILAR to a 70c was a pleasure way prestigue. huge rear bath, solid hinged glass door shutting it off, leather looking sofa.

The Pleasure-way Prestige? It is nothing like an ERA 70C. First it is not a B or van based, and secondly it isn't a Sprinter. Lastly it doesn't even have a slide.

similar in that it has the huge rear bath and couch sleeper.

Just looking at the Winnebago website, it looks to me as pretty much a rip off copy of the Leisure Travel Free Spirit SS who were the first to put a slide here in North America in 2013.

Leisure Travel Free Spirit SS

Copied right down to the MSRP if this one is really listed at $122K (Winnebago site says it should 119K). But paying that for a Winnebago versus a Leisure Travel would be a major waste of money. Top quality RV construction and attention to detail versus a big manufacturer factory line churn em out.
