Spotlight on the Winnebago Vista 22F motorhome
A closer look at the Winnebago Vista 22F, a two-berth motorhome with a drop-down queen bed over the dinette and a full-width rear ensuite.
Published on: 9 November 2026
A queen bed, a separate shower and somewhere to wash your clothes all sound pretty good when you’re a few weeks into a road trip. Fitting all three into a motorhome that’s just shy of seven metres takes some clever use of space. Winnebago’s new two-berth motorhome does just that.
Aimed at couples and solo travellers and with a launch price starting at $224,990 RRP, here’s a closer look at what you get for the money.
The bed goes up and the bathroom gets the whole back wall
The Vista 22F’s electric queen bed sits above the front dinette and lowers across the motorhome at bedtime. Raise it in the morning and you’ve got your table back for coffee, breakfast or a rainy afternoon with a book. It’s a great use of space but it could be a problem if one of you likes to turn in early while the other stays up at the table.
Putting the bed up front frees up the back of the motorhome for a full-width ensuite. There’s a separate enclosed shower, a toilet, a vanity and a 3kg washer/dryer. That last one is the sort of thing you might appreciate after a week or two on the road rather than on night one, especially if you’ve ever planned a stop around getting a load of washing done.
The kitchen gets a 188L fridge/freezer, a cooktop with a grill and oven, and a microwave. There’s a wind-out awning and an exterior picnic table, too, if you’d rather eat outside.
Just under seven metres and within car licence limits
Winnebago lists the Vista 22F at 6,997mm long. Underneath is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel and a nine-speed automatic. The motorhome has a 4,490kg gross vehicle mass (GVM), which puts it just inside the 4,500kg limit for a standard Class C car licence. Winnebago lists a 725kg payload to account for what you carry, including people, water and gear.
The Vista 22F is built by Action Manufacturing in Hamilton, New Zealand. Winnebago lists a seven-year structural warranty and three years of cover for the body and interior.
What’s on board for camp?
A 300Ah lithium house battery and a single 190W solar panel handle the basics of onboard power storage and solar charging. A central Renogy touchscreen lets you check battery and tank levels and manage the lighting. You get 91L of fresh water and a separate 91L grey water tank, plus an exterior shower for rinsing sandy feet before you head inside.
At $224,990 RRP, the layout is the reason I’d want a closer look. If you spend weeks away at a time and would happily trade a fixed bed for a proper bathroom and your own laundry, the Vista 22F puts that choice into a motorhome you can drive on a car licence.
