The Winnebago Via® Revolution Continues
A truly revolutionary motor home redefines what an RV can be and the Winnebago Via® continues to do just that. Its introduction resulted in a whole new category of Class A coaches, built on the versatile Mercedes-Benz® Sprinter chassis.
With a Mercedes-Benz turbo-diesel engine, you are guaranteed unheard-of automotive performance and unrivaled fuel economy to boot. That’s just the beginning for a vehicle designed to bring you full-featured livability and comfort in a very efficient package.
The 2012 Via introduces a host of advancements that offer even more residential comfort, like the all-new retractable screen door that makes life a breeze.

Winnebago Industries teamed with Freightliner® Chassis, the undisputed leader in diesel motor home chassis, to design the Maxum Chassis for the Winnebago Tour, and Maxum Chassis is the defining standard in diesel pusher design and performance.
How did we do it? We combined Freightliner’s know-how with our SuperStructure® technology, and the result is a revolutionary chassis with a lowered-rail design that not only delivers an incredibly smooth ride and superior handling, but immense, industry-leading cross-coach storage capability–up to 192 cubic feet.
