UPMARKET MENINDEE

A MOTORHOME WITH SOPHISTICATION AND STYLE

Winnebago’s newest addition to an already extensive model range is a motorhome called Menindee and it is sure to turn heads where ever it may go.
Sophistication personified, the Menindee offers the discerning buyer every conceivable luxury and it is conveniently sized to travel to a multitude of destinations where, upon arrival, uniquely, the rear wall expands out, the living room wall likewise to create an environment designed for your total enjoyment.
Menindee is a small town located in outback New South Wales, a town around 110 kilometres west of Broken Hill and steeped in legend and history for Indigenous and European culture.
The area was known to the Barkindji people as 'Minandichee', and it is believed this is how the name originated. The nearby Menindee Lakes is a popular outback destination for Motorhomers.
The new Winnebago Menindee is also steeped in tradition, a proud heritage of superbly constructed motorhomes, a tradition Winnebago has maintained since building the first vehicle back in 1965, building undoubtedly the strongest and most durable motorhome on the market today.
Menindee incorporates the latest in engineering design utilising a full metal frame in the floor together with metal sheathing on the underside of the floor, the only motorhome manufacturer to do so.
The walls and roof are also supported by a metal frame, the wall affixed to the top of the floor, supporting the roof, thus creating a load bearing structure capable of withstanding considerable weight on the roof, the roof additionally coated with durable EDPM rubber for additional protection.
Each body panel is fully insulated to protect against harsh temperatures and lowers road noise to an extremely comfortable level.
Menindee will delight the discerning buyer with its impressive list of standard quality inclusions designed to offer a luxury lifestyle whilst exploring the varied Australian countryside.
Externally, the aerodynamic styling of the Menindee is enhanced by the full glossy metallic silver paintwork, highlighting the smooth curves of the low profile fibreglass nose complimented by the contoured skylight, the fibreglass skirt moulds and rear wall finish.
The deeply tinted flush fitting, large frameless windows accentuate the striking yet delicate lines of the motorhome.
Outside, the electronically controlled external awning extends out to provide shade whilst you relax and watch the large LCD television located in the external wall of the motorhome.
Located on the roof is a large satellite dish which automatically searches for channels to view from any of the three LCD televisions found in Menindee.
Convenient features proliferate in the Menindee, the BBQ gas fitting, electric entry steps, towbar, and the luxury of being able to slide out some of the external storage bins like they were kitchen drawer’s makes accessing the bins an absolute breeze.
Away from the hustle and bustle, away from the crowds or everyday living, electricity is generated by Menindee to power the many electronic features found in the motorhome. Two 100 amp deep cycle batteries power the motorhome; the chassis battery feeds the needs of the chassis.
A 22 amp battery charger maintains full charge to the batteries when on the move and the twin 80 watt solar panels located on the roof constantly trickle charge the batteries to ensure power is never lacking.
For that additional power boost or to operate the ducted roof air conditioning, a built in, extremely quiet internal start 2.3kVa generator with programmable energy command is a convenient feature.
Spacious yet manoeuvrable, the Menindee offers an especially large electric slide out wall in the living room, extending out almost a metre to provide space to live, space to breath, space to enjoy, accompanied by mid mounted electronic stabilizers for additional stability.
Uniquely, the Menindee is equipped with a second slideout, one that extends the size of the main bedroom by sliding out to the rear of the motorhome.
Offering greater headroom than the average motorhome, internally, the modern décor combines creams and whites, spectacularly contrasted against a background of dark timber plank look flooring and stylish ultra leather upholstery.
Down lights throughout compete with concealed ceiling and cupboard lighting to illuminate the Menindee in a way which takes your breath away – inviting, warm and oh so friendly.
The kitchen is a gourmet delight offering large sliding drawers, a spacious one piece stone look bench top with a stylish matched stainless steel sink and cook top, over the built in oven and grill.
The large 175ltr curved two door refrigerator freezer senses the power source and automatically changes over from 240 volt power, to gas or to batteries.
The bathroom is conveniently located to separate the bedroom from the living area and can be secured for privacy utilising large bi fold doors. Wash away the day’s adventures with a steaming hot shower, water splash avoided by the convenient shower screen door.
Professionally engineered and constructed on the world renown Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 5 series cab chassis, the Menindee performs effortlessly, day after day, kilometre after kilometre, powered by a 3 litre Intercooled common rail turbo diesel engine generating 140kw of power, coupled with a 5 speed fully automatic transmission.
The Menindee offers the driver and passenger, the security of ABS braking, twin safety airbags, ESP, ASR and other safety related functions.
Standard inclusions in the cabin include comfortable swivel front seats upholstered in matching ultra leather trim, automatic cabin air conditioning, electrically operated windows and mirrors, cruise control, remote central locking, trip computer, reversing camera and infotainment system incorporating a touch screen CD/AM/FM controls and Satellite navigation.
For total piece of mind, Winnebago offers a two year warranty on the motorhome construction and coupled with the extensive Mercedes chassis warranty.
Motorhoming in the Menindee is further enhanced by the two years free Winnebago RV Help emergency roadside assist program together with Winnebago’s national support network of professional dealers and service agents.
