Key Features of the Meridian:
- BechMark - Eliminate Pain in the You-Know-Where. Presenting the dinette, reconsidered: the BenchMark full comfort dinette. In place of the customary slab of foam, its seats feature innerspring construction like that found in fine furniture. The result is exceptionally comfortable dining - and since the BenchMark converts instantly from a dinette to a comfortable bed - exceptionally comfortable sleeping as well. And unlike ordinary dinettes that use side doors or drawers for storage, the BenchMark seats tilt up, providing easy access to the storage underneath (as well as 40% more storage than a similar dinette with side-drawer access). Dining, sleeping or storing, the BenchMark full comfort dinette leaves you sitting pretty.
- BechMark Extendable Dinette - Seat the entire family and even some guests in the extendable dinette. When retracted, the dinette seats four people. A table leaf folds out to create comfortable seating for six people. Two matching folding chairs are provided for use when the table is extended. At night, the table easily converts into additional sleeping space. The linens can be stored under the bench seats, which flip up for easy access.
- Big Shower - It's BIG, Really BIG - The BIG shower from Winnebago Industries lives up to its name. In fact, it might be an understatement. The BIG shower measures an expansive 36" x 36", dwarfing most traditional RV showers. Enjoy a refreshing rinse in the BIG shower and you will never look at RV showers the same way again.
- Ideal Rest - Enjoy the Best Rest of Your Life - Getting a good night's sleep shouldn't be a challenge and with Ideal Rest Digital Comfort Control it's easier than ever. By measuring actual pressure in precise scientific millimeters of mercury (mmHg), the Ideal Rest Digital Comfort Control Mattress offers fifty unique set points so you can customize the support to fit your personal preference, from extra firm to feather soft. A key benefit when you consider we each have our own individual preferences and that it's very common for couples to each desire different levels of firmness in their mattress. With the Ideal Rest Digital Comfort Control Mattress, no one has to compromise, you can each adjust your firmness level to the exact point of maximum comfort... your comfort.
- Maxum Chassis - Enjoy a Superior Ride and Leave Nothing Behind - The perfect diesel pusher experience begins with a chassis designed like no other. Winnebago Industries engineers worked closely with Freightliner - the proven leader in diesel motor home chassis - to create the Maxum Chassis: a stronger, better performing chassis with a lower center of gravity for unsurpassed ride and handling. To top it off, the Maxum Chassis offers up to 220 cubic feet of exterior storage so you can load up with everything you need for weeks on the road. The secret is its revolutionary lowered-rail design combined with our exclusive SuperStructure construction and SmartSpace philosophy that increases the cross-coach storage height for the most efficient use of space.
- One Place - The OnePlace systems center allows you to monitor and control key systems from one convenient location. No more walking back and forth between the thermostat and generator, it's all in one spot.The OnePlace panel features a streamlined appearance with a digital panel that is easy to read and operate. Stop the runaround with the new OnePlace systems center.
- QuickConnect - Hassle-Free Hook-Ups. Our new QuickConnect coupling valve ensures quick, clean sewer hookups every time. There's even a holster in the service compartment for easy storage.
- QuickPort - A Better Way to Manage Hoses and Cords. Say good-bye to wrestling power cords and water hoses through small holes. The QuickPort service connection hatch makes hookups a snap, and helps keep your service area clean and tidy. It even allows the bay door to close with hookups connected.
- Rest Easy - Rest Easy Multi-Position Lounge is a Couch, a Lounger and a Comfortable Bed . It looks like a normal couch. Yet closer inspection reveals an electric switch on the left arm that automatically converts it to a cozy lounger with a pull-out ottoman. Press the switch again and the lounger converts to a comfortable, contoured bed. Creating the Rest Easy is all part of our continuing effort to build more home comfort into our motor homes. So no matter what road you're on, you'll feel like you never left your favorite chair.
- RV Radio - RV Radio: Designed for RVers. Enjoy high-quality sound and more from a dash-mounted stereo system that is actually easy to operate. The RV Radio incorporates a host of user-friendly features, including blue LED backlit controls and display, a built-in weather band for instant weather updates, large buttons and intuitive controls that put all its RV friendly features at your fingertips. The RV Radio is also iPod and Sirius satellite ready.
- PowerLine® Automatically Manages Power Usage - Another smart solution: our PowerLine energy management system. When your air conditioner is running, your spouse is using the microwave and your granddaughter turns on the hair dryer, this will not trigger a system overload. PowerLine temporarily turns off one or more of your vehicle's "postponable" appliances - and automatically returns power once the load returns to normal.
- Sirius - Get Connected to Sirius Satellite Radio. Sirius satellite radio brings you over 120 channels of digital entertainment no matter where your travels take you. High-altitude satellites deliver crystal-clear programming without signal fades anywhere in the U.S. A free 6-month subscription is yours when you add Sirius satellite radio.
- SmartSpace® - Make the Most of Every Inch. The SmartSpace design philosophy encourages the use of innovative features to make the most efficient use of the available space in each coach. This philosophy has led to the creation of features such as the BenchMark full-comfort dinette that has hidden storage compartments below the flip-up seats and the new extendable sectional sofa found in several of our coaches. From the Rest Easy multi-position lounge to the storage compartment cover that converts into a picnic table, you'll find a variety of SmartSpace features across our entire lineup of motorhomes.
- Smart Storage - Smart StorageSmart Storage - a Smart Storage places bulky systems and tanks in improved configurations, leaving more room for basement storage. Exterior storage is also easy to access with innovative features such as a large trunk with multiple doors and sliding storage trays on select models. Other clever features you might find include a storage well with a drain plug and a compartment cover that converts into a picnic table. Smart Storage even influences interior storage, providing such features as full-extension drawer slides and unique pullout pantries.
- MCD Roller Shades - Day or Night. The smooth-operating MCD roller shades set the ideal atmosphere in your coach, day or night. Besides providing ideal light and privacy, MCD roller shades offer upscale looks and performance and are easier to operate and clean than traditional pleated shades.
- SuperStructure - Creating Coaches of Lasting Beauty. Unlike some manufacturers, we use steel, not wood, to create a strong, durable cab substructure. We mount our windshields securely in steel with nonhardening sealants, just like an automobile. By using an advanced laser alignment system when mounting the cab to the chassis, we ensure a sturdy, square foundation.
- Ultraleather - Your Home Away From Home Should Feel Like Home. Winnebago Industries cab seats, sofas, loungers and more can be covered in premium, soft Ultraleather - fabric. Ultraleather gives you the softness, comfort and luxury that is more durable than leather and incredibly easy to clean. The secret is that it is made from a PVC-free polyurethane that has been tested and proven to surpass competitive fabrics for integrity and durability. With Ultraleather, you are surrounded in comfort while staying protected from the bumps, spills and scrapes of life on the road.
- TrueLevel Always Accurate - Mirus detector cell technology ensures accurate fresh and wastewater tank level readings. Mirus detector cells produce a micro-electrical field that detects liquid levels from outside the tank. No more probes to corrode or clog. Just true, accurate readings time after time.

The height of each model is measured to the top of the tallest standard feature and is based on the curb weight of a typically equipped unit. The actual height of your vehicle may vary by several inches depending on chassis or equipment variations. Please contact your dealer for further information.

Meridian floorplans feature a wide-body design - over 96." In making your purchase decision, you should be aware that some states restrict access on some or all state roads to 96" in body width. Before making your purchase decision, you should confirm the road usage laws in the states of interest to you.

| 3 |
The load capacity of your motorhome is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading your motorhome.
|
| 4 |
Capacities are based on measurements prior to tank installation. Slight capacity variations can result due to installation applications.
|
| 5 |
Capacities shown are tank manufacturer's listed water capacity (W.C.). Actual filled LP capacity is 80% of listing due to overfilling prevention device on tank.
|
| 6 |
Actual towing capacity is dependent on your particular loading and towing circumstances which includes the GVWR, GAWR, and GCWR, as well as adequate trailer brakes. Please refer to the Operator's Manual of your vehicle for further towing information.
