The 1983 LeSharo, introduced in August 1982, was Winnebago's first compact RV and was built on the chassis of the Renault Trafic van.
When Winnebago ended its Renault supply deal after 1992, Renault stopped importing the Trafic; the next French vehicle imported to the US was the 2005 Bugatti Veyron.
Winnebago kept building the Rialta through 2005, until it ran out of its stockpile of Volkswagen T4 chassis cabs, though VW ended T4 imports after 2003.
Winnebago's 1973 Minnie Winnie, built on a Dodge B-series van chassis, was about 19.5 feet long, longer than the shortest contemporary Brave despite its name.
Winnebago launched the Travato in 2014 on the RAM ProMaster chassis, and says it quickly became the top-selling campervan in North America.
The Navion and View, released in 2005, were the first North American motorhomes built on the Mercedes Sprinter chassis.
The Bounder, introduced in 1985, was the first motorhome with a basement, and at one time one in every ten new motorhomes sold nationwide was a Bounder.
