5 December 1997

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Watch for the 1998 Winnebago Minnie Winnie by Winnebago Industries,
because you may just fall in love at first sight.  With a list of
features that will astound you, the Minnie Winnie is sure to meet all
your traveling needs, and then some.

The Minnie Winnie line has expanded to include four widebody, basement
models in 1998, including the 29WQ, 29WU, 31WQ and the new 31WS model
with a unique rear slideout system.  The 31WS model features an
innovative new bedroom slide that provides lounge and galley features
previously only available in Class A products.  When camped, the rear
wall slides out with the bed to provide a comfortable full-size
bedroom with a queen size walk-around bed and wardrobe.

With a full eight feet of interior width, the Minnie Winnie features
'home comfort design' in a multitude of spacious and comfortable
floorplans.  Through customer input, Winnebago Industries has designed
efficient floorplans with furnishings that meet strict quality
specifications.  All the amenities of home are included in each Minnie
Winnie with a complete kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room
area.  The Minnie Winnie is built 'family tough' for lasting use
with durable fabrics that are treated for stain resistance and
carpeting with jute backing that is hypoallergenic and stain- and
mildew-resistant.  A deluxe upgrade package is available and includes
additional upholstery colors and styles, as well as added driver and
passenger conveniences.

The Minnie Winnie has full basement storage.  The laminated risers
under the unit create true pass-through storage for bulky and
hard-to-store items.  Fully hinged insulated doors make the
compartments water-tight and close with an easy-to-use single handle
latch.  The water and sewer service center is heated, as well as the
holding tank compartments for cold-weather camping.

Warm-weather camping is also a breeze.  The roof air conditioner is
ducted through the roof with dampening, directional vents to
distribute cool air more efficiently and quietly throughout the entire
motor home.  You'll stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the
winter with the 3 1/4-inch roof that has an 'R' rating factor of
14.62.  The one-piece fiberglass roof which adds structural integrity,
doesn't expand and contract, or tear like rubber membranes and is
backed by a 10-year parts and labor warranty.  The fiberglass sidewall
material is also covered by a 10-year warranty.

In addition to the standard 12 month/15,000 mile bumper to bumper
warranty, there is a limited warranty on lamination for 3 years/36,000
miles.  Every new owner of a 1998 Minnie Winnie automatically receives
a free one-year membership in the Preferred Care Program which
provides 24-hour customer assistance and emergency road service
throughout the United States and Canada.  Winnebago Industries also
provides toll-free assistance for both owners and dealers to obtain
technical service information.

Winnebago Industries has set the industry standard for quality
assurance.  By utilizing computer-aided design and manufacturing
systems and automotive-style assembly lines, as well as subjecting its
motor homes and components to rigorous tests, Winnebago Industries
believes it is able to produce some of the most state-of-the-art motor
homes in the RV industry.
