Understanding the importance of this endeavor, we built the Access using insights gained from conversations with dealers and consumers—to ensure it met their varied needs and wishes. Equipped with these insights and leading-edge production capabilities, we know we built a best-in-class towable. In fact, Access owners are sure to enjoy outdoor adventures with a level of comfort and convenience they won’t find anywhere else.”

- A factory-supplied 200W solar panel helps recharge house batteries and reduces reliance on shore power.

- 14” x 22” skylights that provide additional natural light and energy savings.
- Porcelain toilets that are durable and easy to clean.
- Thicker sidewall metal with UV-blocking properties, which increases the trailer’s strength, quality and durability, and adds style with a gloss finish.
- Reinforced underbed storage that provides usable space for a laundry basket, a dog sleeping area, or more.
- LED interior and exterior lighting that provides bright, long-lasting light using less energy.
“One of the great things about the Access, beyond its reliability and abundant amenities, is the fact it is part of the industry’s best dealer network,” added Eberlein. “Winnebago dealers are factory-trained and supported by our advanced parts supply system so they can provide superior service and peace of mind to consumers long after their purchase. But, perhaps most important, Access owners will join Winnebago’s vibrant of RV enthusiasts, eager to share travel tips and memories made on the open road.”
