For the Suncruiser the register lists an eight-cylinder engine with a displacement of 6,500 cc. The vehicle is 9,130 mm long, 2,440 mm wide and has a wheelbase of 4,500 mm. Kerb weight is 5,800 kg, gross vehicle weight 6,713 kg. Four wheels carry the vehicle in a classic two-axle layout.
At around 6.7 tonnes gross weight, the Suncruiser counts among the heavy motorhomes that would require a category C1 licence in Europe. As a fully integrated motorhome, the driver's cab is structurally part of the living body, giving one continuous interior from the driving position to the rear. The large eight-cylinder engine supplies the power reserve a vehicle of this size and weight needs on gradients and when loaded with water and luggage.
When buying a used example of this age, moisture is the first thing to check: roof, window seals and floor for water damage and soft spots. Add to that the condition of tyres and brakes on a vehicle of this weight that is often used only occasionally, the function of the leisure batteries and gas system, and rust on the chassis and wheel arches. Drivetrain parts run through the chassis dealer network, and body parts through Winnebago or independent motorhome workshops.
