The Sunflyer is Back - Features Slideout Livability Without Sacrificing Storage
5 December 1997
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Itasca Sunflyer is a remarkable new Class A motor home from Winnebago Industries, Inc. with slideout livability and superior floorplan flexibility without sacrificing storage as so many slideout models can. The Sunflyer name is back after a four year absence, an all-new widebody basement styled motor home with three new floorplan offerings: the 33WB, 35WH and 36WL. The Sunflyer has a striking aerodynamic appearance, while offering great new technological features that set new standards in both motor home livability and function. The Sunflyer's most important technology advantage is in the utilization of the new StoreMore(TM) slideout system that provides large, well insulated and laminated compartments on the exterior that slide out with the room for easy access to stored items. The slideout is also user friendly. There is no step up in front of the convertible couch/bed and beautiful overhead cabinets provide plentiful interior storage as well. Even without the slideout, the Sunflyer's widebody design provides an impressive eight feet of interior width for additional interior livability space and more interior storage, while the basement-style design provides deeper exterior storage compartments as well. Heat is ducted into the fixed compartments and the exterior service center for year-round use of the motor home. For ease of usage, the service center has a new design with a swivel drain valve, black water holding tank flush system, sewer hose and cover, telephone and cable TV inputs and a 90 degree fresh water fill with tank fill diverter valve. Further innovation is provided with the Sunflyer's split electrical power system. This system provides separate circuit breaker panels for 120 VAC and 12 VDC with a 45 amp converter/charger (33WB) or 55 amp converter/charger (35WH, 36WL) that are remotely located to reduce heat and noise to the interior of the coach. The system also includes an automatic shore power/generator changeover switch. A thirty amp detachable power supply cord is standard, while the 50 amp detachable is optional. Another new technological breakthrough for the Sunflyer is the Powerline(TM) Energy Management System. When utilizing 30 amp service, this fully automatic system has the ability to run two roof air conditioners at the same time by monitoring the usage of 120 volt electrical power and redistributing the power as needed. The Sunflyer's high efficiency air conditioning is ducted through the roof with dampening, directional vents so that the cooled air may be distributed efficiently and quietly throughout the entire motor home, in addition to providing a reduction in the 120 VAC electrical load. The Sunflyer is designed with a large panoramic windshield and side windows, and an aerodynamic front-end design, providing superior driver and passenger vision. Visibility is further enhanced with standard fog lights. A standard drivers' door, a wide entrance door and entrance steps with rubber, non-skid matting provide ease of entry. High line interior appointments provide the Sunflyer with distinctive eye appeal inside the coach as well. Two of the new Sunflyer models, the 33WB and 36WL diesel pusher feature a new galley slideout with convertible couch/bed. Thanks to the new StoreMoreÔ slideout system, galley storage is plentiful. Each floorplan provides unique and innovative touches such as the special lounge table in the 33WB with sliding extension top. Located behind the passenger seat, the table provides an excellent writing or computer work space with a 120 VAC duplex receptacle and telephone wall plate. The 33WB also features a private toilet and lavatory room with a full tub/shower and linen storage across the hall. The 36WL also features a unique bathroom arrangement with private toilet area, large corner tub/shower with glass door and privacy panels, lavatory and wardrobe. All models have an innovative slideout workstation available that is mounted on top of the passenger side of the dashboard with handy storage below. The workstation is perfect for working on your computer or for writing postcards to your family and friends. Service after the sale is important to Winnebago Industries. In addition to the standard 12 month/15,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. The Sunflyer has a limited warranty on lamination for 3 years/36,000 miles. The one-piece 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. Every new owner of a 1998 Sunflyer 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.
