Panoramic Front Window and Forward Kitchen

The front of the Thrive 18FBS is built around a large frameless panoramic window, with a strike guard outside to protect it on the road. The kitchen faces forward, so you look out at the view while you cook. It has a 3-burner cooktop and oven combo, a microwave, a 10.6 cu. ft. 12-volt refrigerator, and molded fiberglass countertops with built-in sinks. For storage, there's a pull-out trash and recycling center, pantry shelves, a removable utensil drawer, and soft-close drawers.

Relaxing Living Space

The custom jack-knife sofa is where you'll relax during the day, and it folds down into a bed for a guest at night. The furniture is from Winnebago's Renaissance Collection, which is exclusive to Winnebago. A Smart TV, JBL Bluetooth sound system, roller shades and residential-style recessed lighting make the space comfortable.

Rear Queen Bedroom

The rear bedroom has a 66" x 80" Olympic queen bed, which is wider than a standard RV queen. There's storage built into the bed, and you get dual 110V, USB and USB-C outlets for charging phones and tablets overnight.

Bath with a Skylight

The bathroom has a 14" x 22" skylight for extra headroom and natural light, molded fiberglass counters, and a power vent fan. The tankless water heater means you don't wait for hot water, and you won't run out halfway through a shower.

Four-Season Ready Features

The heated and enclosed holding tanks, 18,000 BTU furnace and 15,000 BTU ducted A/C help you camp comfortably from early spring through late fall in western Pennsylvania. Ducted air spreads cooling evenly through the trailer and runs quieter than a non-ducted unit.

Built to Travel

Winnebago builds the Thrive on its NXG engineered frame with fiberglass sidewalls over an Azdel Onboard composite substrate. Fiberglass sidewalls deliver strength while reducing weight. It also has a one-piece TPO roof, 10-ply tires on aluminum wheels, a power tongue jack, power stabilizer jacks and all-LED exterior lighting, so setup and towing are easier.
