New Recreation Vehicles Offer Economical and Efficient Features

NOVI, MI--(Marketwire - September 30, 2009) - Today's RV manufacturers are making great strides in providing economical and efficient features for an even more affordable RV vacation. The Fall Detroit Camper & RV Show features a special "green" RV display, sponsored by General RV and Winnebago Industries. The display will contain the 2009 Winnebago Adventurer hybrid concept vehicle and the 2010 Winnebago Via.

The Winnebago Adventurer hybrid is the RV industry's first hybrid motorhome. The hybrid RV rides on a Freightliner Custom Chassis' ecoFRED™ featuring Eaton hybrid power components. This is a full hybrid system in that it utilizes two independent power sources to power the RV. With the use of regenerative braking, the hybrid electric motor uses electricity to create torque, while also being able to reverse the process to use torque to create electricity. By reversing its electric engine to become a generator, electricity is fed back into the battery resulting in energy savings.

The most fuel efficient RV on the market, the Winnebago Via, will also be on display at the show. The Via is the most fuel efficient class A motorhome on the market, getting an estimated 15 miles per gallon. The new Via offers superior handling, maneuverability and a minimal parking footprint.

Consumers will find these efficient RV models and much more at the 20th Annual Fall Detroit & RV Show. This year's show features special discounts including folding campers from $4,999; trailers from $8,999; and motorhomes from $49,999.
