Ford Transit Motorhomes

Hitting the Road in Style with the Ford Transit RV

We’ve written before about the 2016 Ford Transit and how it makes such an excellent commercial and passenger hauling vehicle, but with the versatile body styles of this excellent van, that’s not all you can do. Now those in the market for a new RV also have the chance to take advantage of this great vehicle with the new Ford Transit Motorhome models from Winnebago and other companies.

The market has been on the rise for compact and reasonably priced motorhomes that can go anywhere there are roads. Families and adventurers who want portable comfort without the bulk and restrictions of a traditional motorhome are flocking to new Class C RVs for their vacations and adventures

“Outdoor adventure-seeking RV customers want compact, maneuverable motorhomes that can comfortably carry their families and gear from one adventure to another,” said Yaro Hetman, Ford brand manager for Transit, Transit Connect and E-Series, in a recent Ford press release. “Transit’s efficiency, comfortable ride and affordability make it a great choice as a motorhome for these outdoor enthusiasts.”

The Winnebago Fuse will be offered in two configurations, one with a queen-size bed and the other with two twin beds and a bath in the rear. Each will be available with the Ford Power Stroke 3.2-liter five-cylinder diesel engine. These Class C motorhomes have a vehicle frame, suspension, powertrain, and a living area you can reach from the driver’s compartment.

Some other companies that are basing new RV styles on the Ford Transit are Thor Motor Coach and Coachmen RV.

Transit vans can also be turned into Class B motorhomes, which have fewer essential alterations and drive like vans.
