Meet the All-New Winnebago Thrive! Designed for those who want to camp in comfort without compromising on style or simplicity, the Winnebago Thrive is a half-ton towable travel trailer that redefines what it means to “glamp.” Starting at $46,760 and available in three thoughtfully designed floorplans, the Thrive blends sleek, automotive-inspired design with residential comforts—like an Olympic queen-sized bed, frameless panoramic windows, and custom-built furniture made in the USA.

Whether you're a first-time RVer or a seasoned traveler looking to downsize without sacrificing amenities, Thrive delivers a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience, smart storage solutions, and a modern galley that feels like home. With a dry weight starting at just 4,740 lbs, it’s easy to tow and even easier to love.

1. Comfortable Sleeping Area with Olympic Queen Bed

The bedroom features an Olympic queen-sized bed (66” x 80”), a 40-inch TV, and built-in cubbies perfect for essentials like a CPAP machine. A curved window behind the bed invites stargazing, while aluminum-cased shades offer privacy when needed. Adjustable, low-light reading lamps add a cozy touch.

Need more sleeping space? The 22MBH floorplan sleeps up to five with corner bunk beds and a convertible dinette.

2. Expansive Windows for Scenic Views

Large, strategically placed windows throughout the Thrive bring the outdoors in. At the front, a massive tinted, tempered-glass window with a strike guard offers durability and style. Its frameless design complements the sleek exterior for a modern, cohesive look.

3. Modern Galley with Residential Touches

The spacious galley includes an oven, stovetop, microwave, 10.6-cu. ft. refrigerator, and a fiberglass countertop with integrated sink. Soft-close drawers, a removable silverware tray, and dedicated waste/recycling storage add smart functionality. It’s a kitchen that feels like home—only more mobile.

4. Easy to Tow

Weight was a top priority in the Thrive’s design. From the lightweight entry stairs to the durable yet sleek countertops, every detail was chosen to enhance towability. Starting at just 4,740 pounds and 22’11” in length (18FBS floorplan), the Thrive is ideal for first-time RVers or anyone looking for a more nimble travel trailer.

5. Sleek, Automotive-Inspired Exterior

The Thrive’s exterior features a clean, screw-free fiberglass finish and custom black aluminum wheels designed exclusively for Winnebago. Integrated exterior lighting enhances both nighttime visibility and overall aesthetics, while the simplified graphics give it a timeless, automotive-inspired appeal.

6. Thoughtful Storage Solutions

From the large pass-through exterior storage with slam-latch doors to the pull-out pantry drawers and under-bed storage inside, the Thrive is packed with smart storage options to keep your gear organized and accessible.

7. Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living

The Thrive’s open layout encourages connection with nature. Bluetooth-controlled JBL speakers are located both inside and out, so your playlist follows you wherever you go. Inside, custom-built furniture with a modern, minimalist design maximizes space and comfort.
