Vectra Grand Tour Offers Elegance and Style
5 December 1997
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The 1998 Vectra Grand Tour from Winnebago Industries, Inc. offers a bus-style motor home with elegance and style. The Vectra Grand Tour has four exquisite models available for 1998, including the 35WQ diesel pusher model available with a 275 hp Cummins or a 300 hp Caterpillar engine. A 36WQ model is also available with a slideout room extension, providing even more livability room inside the motor home. The Vectra Grand Tour's widebody design provides additional living space in the living room, bedroom and bathroom, as well as additional storage space in the beautiful custom-made cabinets. High-line upholstery fabrics were chosen by Winnebago Industries' designers for both their beauty and long-lasting durability and stain resistance. The 1997 Vectra is available with four beautiful interior color options, as well as two beautiful wood choices for interior cabinets and trim. The 35WQ diesel pusher model provides additional payload, allowing extra features such as high gloss exterior fiberglass, marble-like countertops, and vinyl plank wood grain flooring in the galley. The additional width provided by the widebody design also provides added exterior storage in the spacious exterior storage compartments. Holding tank compartments are also heated for all-weather camping. A convenient service center provides access to hookups for cable TV, telephone, shoreline power and sewer systems. A new black water holding tank flushing system has been added as a standard feature with a connection in the service center to simplify the cleaning process. Luxurious features such as an in-dash AM/FM/CD player, mobile theater system and entertainment center with large 19-inch color television are available. A thirteen-inch television is available in the bedroom and an patio entertainment center is available with either an AM/FM/Cassette player or AM/FM/CD player, as well as DC receptacle, 110-V outlet, TV jack, radio antenna and speakers. A digital satellite system is also available. Modifications to the 1998 Vectra Grand Tour include the addition of a microwave/ convection oven as a standard feature. With this addition, a three-burner range top with storage below is now standard, while the three-burner range top with large oven is optional. Vehicle safety is very important in a Vectra Grand Tour. The high-visibility windshield allows a commanding view of the road and is mounted in steel for safety. Electronically controlled and heated bus-style mirrors and integrated fog lights offer additional convenience in a variety of driving conditions. Automotive-style three-point safety belts for driver and front passenger are mounted in steel for safety and now feature an adjustable height shoulder strap for improved comfort. Rear passenger lap belts, smoke, LP, and carbon monoxide detectors are all standard safety features. The Vectra Grand Tour has a 3 1/4-inch roof with an 'R' rating factor of 14.62, meaning you'll stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Central air conditioning is ducted through the roof with dampening, directional vents to distribute cool air more efficiently and quietly throughout the entire motor home. Dual-pane windows are also available as an option on most models to increase the use of the Vectra Grand Tour on a year-round basis. The Vectra Grand Tour has a one-piece fiberglass roof, which adds structural integrity and doesn't expand and contract, or tear like rubber membranes. The fiberglass roof is backed by a 10-year parts and labor warranty, while 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 Vectra Grand Tour 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.
