A month in the past to the day, we took a have a look at the all-new Winnebago Revel Sport camper van, an easier, extra inexpensive tackle Winnebago’s all-terrain-ready van life icon. It seems the brand new van mannequin is off to a robust begin as a result of not half a 12 months after first introducing it, Winnebago is doubling the lineup with a brand new ground plan.
The Revel Sport 44C opens the inside up right into a extra leisurely lounge area that invitations adventurers to crash after an extended day on the path, slope or crags.
Winnebago will maintain an official debut for the Revel Sport 44C on the 2025 Florida RV SuperShow, which opens to business people on Tuesday and to the general public on Wednesday. We’ll look so as to add some extra pictures of the brand new ground plan then, however within the meantime, the Winnebago has launched sufficient information to indicate what the ground plan is all about.
Whereas the unique Winnebago Revel Sport 44N is little greater than a pre-2025 Revel bought at earlier value ranges alongside the dearer updated Revel, the brand new 44C injects slightly distinctive design into the Sport sequence. Distinguishing itself from the basic European Class B ground plan all Revels have used as a blueprint since their 2017 debut, the 44C structure swivels the entrance eating space round 90 levels, making a side-facing lounge that ought to show slightly extra laid again and informal. Winnebago emphasizes the way it immediately faces the aspect window for a full broad view of the surroundings exterior.
We’ll should step aboard the brand new Revel Sport 44C to actually evaluate it with the extra historically configured Sport 44N with front-facing dinette, however our first impression is that the sideways couch ought to open up slightly extra leg and elbow room at camp. Simply have a look at how cramped the leg space within the 44N seems compared to having your complete middle aisle beneath your ft.
The brand new lounge nonetheless provides two seat belts, so the van can carry 4 folks. The Revel Sport solely sleeps two folks on its rear lift-away mattress, nevertheless, so the 2 rear passengers might want to make separate sleeping preparations.
The primary drawback of the brand new eating lounge set-up is that the desk will not be very accessible from the swiveled cab seats, limiting it to the 2 folks seated subsequent to one another. We had been by no means bought on how a lot area the small oval desk within the Revel Sport 44N provides 4 folks (and even two or three), so that may not be a giant loss.
Past its altered eating lounge, the 44C seems an identical to the 44N, beginning with its 19.5-foot (5.9-m) Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 144 AWD base. That van comes powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo-diesel and nine-speed automated transmission.
Inside, the Revel Sport 44C has the power-lift rear mattress that creates a capacious gear storage beneath, the versatile kitchen design with fold-down out of doors worktop, transportable induction cooker, and indoor/outdoor-access fridge, and the moist lavatory that doubles as a drying closet for moist garments and kit.
We’ll have to attend for the total SuperShow debut for extra particulars, together with pricing, however we won’t think about the 44C straying too removed from the Revel Sport 44N’s US$210,570 base value until there are some superior hidden options Winnebago is ready to disclose on the official debut.
