Not exactly $4000 like 1966, though. From what I gather, $143,416 - $156,450.

Did you see this one? They didn't even have the guts to call it the Indian. i??

Maybe their pair shriveled up and died? i??

You need to add that one to your collection in your avatar, Zombiejuice.

I think four Indians is enough for me at this point. I've got a '72 also a '73 I bought for a parts donor. Also have two of the tonka versions. I keep trying to make more, but so far no luck. W%

Massive windshields!!!

What I'm really looking forward to is the endless parade of d-bags that think their my pal because the bought a soulless imitation of my rig.

But I guess if they are going to gut the vintage winnebago market with the Brave lite, they might as well chop off its head too with the Non Indian, Indian.

Who knows when they hit the road, our classics may go up in monetary value to match their sentimental value.

Dang those things are ugly! Not NEARLY as awesome as an original eyebrow Winnie!

Yeah the oldies are classics... but at least these are better looking than the Tylenol capsules of modern RVs.

I just happened across one on eBay and then HAD to go look.http://www.gowinnebago.com/products/2015/brave/Really really cool but starts at an eye-watering $95,000

xerofall · August 29, 2014, 11:31 PM

I love those... but what's funny is the older hard core RV people don't like the vintage look. They like their Tylenol Capsule RVs apparently. i??

I saw these new ones at the factory when I stopped by in October for a tour. they were parked all over the place, but not anywhere where you could take photos. I actually like them after seeing one up close, they had one on the assembly line at the end where they were installing the awning so it was together and just about finished. I thought it was pretty sharp looking with the red stripe. I didn't get to see inside one though since it was in the factory and for some reason we weren't allowed to wander around and bother the workers....

They just try the same what the car manufactures did the last years,

built retro looking cars the Mustang, Challenger or the Camaro, which are all selling really good what I have heard. It's one more idea so resell something you already developed.
I like the look.
But I don't buy anything which moves at it's own power which is younger then 10-20 years

I have seen these at a couple of shows. Actually looked at one again yesterday at the Louisville show and they are very nice units and start around 84k.
Oddly enough, my favorite one was the stripped down "Specialty" Basically, it had a the complete front drivers area, and the rest was a big plywood box with unlimited potential to do whatever you want.
For some reason though the retro Brave seems bigger than the original taller, wider, and longer.

eXodus · January 26, 2015, 06:59 AM

Had been also inside one at the weekend at the Show in Fort Myers.

Outside I like the style, inside not too much. The colors are to fancy and I don't like the floor-plan with the corner bed which has to be built together and be tank apart to get to the bathroom ? and the electrical drop down bed is terrible to get into. So it was probably the 26A

Maybe with a different floor-plan. Just was looking at the page
http://www.winnebagoind.com/products/class-a-gas/2015/brave/floorplans

The 27D is more of my thinking. I do really like my rear queen bed with windows on three sides.

I did google around the new one is with 6"9' feet on the inside exactly 10 inches less roomy then my old one, which is 7"7'
On the outside all new RVs are 96, or 8 feet.

LJ-TJ · January 26, 2015, 08:45 AM

This is the floor plan I'd like to see in a new 21'er rig. For the life of me I can't understand the obsession with putting the kitchen table on the highway side of the rig. When I'm heading down the highway I don't want to be looking at the cars and trucks I want to look at the scenery. I know this pic needs a bit of massaging but I think you'll get the idea. Hm?

eXodus · January 26, 2015, 04:26 PM

they dont make anything shorter than a 25 anymore,
the best floor plan i had seen on the show was the winnebage vista with 26 feet.

the 30 feet was roomy like a bowling alley, this would be the way to go. not the terrible brave flooring

NottooldNottoyoung · February 10, 2016, 12:53 PM

I had the chance to check out one this past weekend. 2016 model 85K asking price.

I found out a local dealer had one. So on my way out to a festival, I stopped in. The sales guy knew I wasn't interested in buying (that day), but I was interested in looking it over. He started it up and rolled out the sides and turned on everything. I was impressed!

I might have to go back and give a test drive in the near future.

Rickf1985 · February 10, 2016, 09:25 PM

That's what I paid for my house and five acres of property, and that is in NJ!!!

What size was it?

lol...

It was a 31C.

DRMousseau · February 11, 2016, 10:14 PM

Saw one and walked around it,... jus peeked inside though,.... and I wasn't impressed AT ALL!!!

Seemed more like an "Art Deco" wannabe, and jus didn't even come close to that either.

"Retro" huh,.... could have fooled me!!!
