Winnebago Reveals 2020 Wheelchair-Ready Units

The Winnebago 2020 Accessibility-Enhanced motorhome line includes updated features and is being carried by two new dealers, Stoltzfus RV and US Adventure RV, as well as existing dealers such as Lazydays RV.

All 2020 models now feature air-assisted doors for wheelchair lifts. The new Intent 30R AE includes a power Murphy bed-sofa, providing additional living space when not in use, while the 2020 30T AE Adventurer boasts a sofa-bed, to accommodate additional passengers. While the updated AE 2020 line provides expanded accommodations for traveler freedom, the product also standardizes the purchasing process through dealers such as Stoltzfus RV, Lazydays RV, and US Adventure RV. The new line will be on display at America’s Largest RV Show, Sept. 11-15, at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pa.

“We strive to help our customers enjoy their recreational lifestyles with quality products and the highest levels of service,” said Stoltzfus President Bob Cox. “To build lasting relationships, we take responsibility for our customers’ satisfaction throughout the sales and maintenance process – start to finish. … We are excited to partner with Winnebago to further benefit our customers by providing their Accessibility-Enhanced line for individuals in wheelchairs and with limited mobility.”

According to the U.S. Census Bureau 2012 report, there are approximately 3.6 million people over the age of 15 who use a wheelchair, with an additional 11.6 million people utilizing canes, crutches or walkers.

In addition to the new features, the Accessibility-Enhanced RV line includes floorplans that reflect the most commonly requested design elements such as:

  • Platform wheelchair lift with an 800-pound lifting capacity
  • Air assisted door, with wall-mount and key-fob remote controls for wheelchair entry and exit
  • Expanded hallway and bathroom areas
  • Large roll-in shower with an assist bar and available folding bench seat, and adjustable height shower head, raised toilet with assist bars
  • Roll under lavatory sink standard on 30T AE Adventurer floorplan
  • Electric adjustable queen bed standard on 34T AE Forza, optional for 30T AE Adventurer (or power Murphy sofa-bed depending on the model)
  • Thermostatically or remote-control roof vents
  • Wall-mounted light and generator switches
  • Lower installation of the systems monitor panel
  • Optional 6-way power transfer seat
  • Optional lower microwave placement

“Our goal has always been to help our customers explore the outdoor lifestyle, enabling extraordinary experiences as they travel, live, work and play. The Accessibility-Enhanced line opens new doors for those who may have thought their traveling days were over,” said Robert Kim, head of WGO’s Specialty Vehicle Division. “We are thrilled to be partnered with these new dealers to expand the availability of the AE lines as we continue to grow and adapt our products in response to our customers’ needs.”
