FOREST CITY, Iowa, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As RV travel
soars in popularity across the U.S., Winnebago
Industries® [NYSE: WGO] Specialty Vehicle Division revealed
its updated 2021 Accessibility Enhanced (AE) RV line. Upgraded to
support consumer and dealer preferences further, the Inspire AE and
Adventurer 30T AE 2021 models feature standard wheelchair
tie-downs, platform wheelchair lifts, and expanded hallways and
bathrooms. In addition to the product upgrades,
Winnebago also announced a dealer
partnership for the 2021 model year products with La Mesa RV to
carry the AE units exclusively.
"This year we have seen a drastic change in the way people
vacation, and with RV travel on the rise, La Mesa RV wants to
provide model options to all of our customers across the country,
including those with mobility limitations," said La Mesa RV
President Jason Kimbrell. "We are
excited to work with Winnebago and
enable more people to experience the joys of traveling with a
modified, accessible RV and very little wait time."
The new 2021 AE floor plans reflect the most commonly requested
design elements such as expanded hallway and bathroom areas,
accessible controls for lights and RV systems, remote controls for
the wheelchair lift and door, and more. The new Inspire is a
35-foot Class A diesel, providing abundant space and power. The
Adventurer 30T AE is a 31-foot Class A offering and includes a
sleeper sofa to increase sitting areas, a roll-under sink, and
pedestal tables.
"As a company dedicated to innovation, Winnebago is always looking to improve our
Accessibility Enhanced RVs, says Robert
Kim, Director of Winnebago's Specialty Vehicle Division. "For
the 2021 AE line, we are excited to offer two class A platforms
with so many accessible features."
Building on four decades of building AE motorhomes, Winnebago's 2021 AE line gives wheelchair
travelers comfort and privacy that not only make travel enjoyable
but day-to-day living more effortless. Almost every room in the
2021 AE RVs is enhanced to meet a person's requirements with
mobility limitations. These changes and enhancements require
changing approximately 40 percent of the features compared to a
conventional motorhome.
"Winnebago takes great pride in
the design of our AE units," said Winnebago Specialty Vehicle
Division Director of Sales Jennifer
Butters. "We test real-world scenarios with wheelchairs and
other equipment to ensure optimum usability to enhance the RV
travel experience for these individuals and their families."
The 2021 Inspire will be on display at the 2021 Florida RV
Supershow on January 13-17,
2021, at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, Fla. For more information on the
