The 1998 Itasca Spirit Offers Affordability and Freedom for Family Adventures
5 December 1997
-- Expanded Product Offerings Include New Slide Out Models -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Nothing's better in life than enjoying an adventure with your family. And there's no better way to experience that adventure than in a 1998 Itasca Spirit from Winnebago Industries, Inc. Offering the value of quality construction and the affordability of this entry level product, the choice of family adventure is up to you. The Spirit motor home line is nearly all new for 1998 and features wide-body styling for a multitude of floorplan choices. An impressive list of standard features combined with great floorplan variety, are all packaged in a very reasonably priced vehicle. Models ranging from 22 to 27-foot models are great for weekend and vacation travel, while the longer 29 and 31-foot models may also accommodate full-time users. The new 31MT model features a new StoreMore(TM) slideout system that includes a convertible couch/bed and dinette and provides an additional 110 cubic feet of interior space for the family to enjoy. This new slideout system also includes large laminated exterior storage compartments that extend with the slideout to easily retrieve your stored items. This slideout is a feature previously found only in more expensive models that are usually out of reach for most entry-level buyers. Winter adventure is also possible in the 1998 Spirit. The fresh water lines and water tank are all located above the floor level and heated by the interior furnace. In the 27 to 31-foot models, the floor is also four inches higher, providing taller, more spacious exterior storage compartments. Superior insulation in roof and sidewalls and available dual-pane windows, also make this a year-round motor home. Featuring 'Home Comfort Design,' the Spirit uses upgraded fabrics treated for stain resistance and carpets, pad and interior furnishings are combined with professionally designed floor plans. With all the comforts of home, the Spirit includes a complete galley, bath, bedroom and living room to accommodate all the family's needs. Entertaining the kids inside on a rainy day is no problem with the available entertainment center that includes a 19-inch color television, VCR and single slideout bunk or a 13-inch color television with video cassette player (VCP) in an overhead cabinet located in the front lounge area. A true value in motor homes today, it just takes one look at the Spirit to see the superior workmanship and Winnebago Industries backs that up with one of the most comprehensive warranty programs in the industry.
