The Winnebago Rialta is a Class C (low-profile) recreational vehicle that was assembled by Winnebago Industries in Forest City, Iowa. While using a cutaway van chassis like larger motorhomes, the lower-roofed Rialta was designed with fuel efficiency in mind, derived from the front-wheel drive Volkswagen EuroVan. Imported into the United States through the use of CKD kits, Winnebago also used the front of the Rialta as a cutaway for the Winnebago Vista and Itasca Sunstar. These small camper vans are unique in North America and have developed a cult following.
Winnebago also built three small Class C motorhomes with the forward cab of the T4/EuroVan called the Rialta, Vista, and Sunstar (Itasca branded). The Rialta was available in 1995–1996 with the five-cylinder engine, in 1997–2001 with the AES version of the VR6, and in 2002–2005 with the AXK engine. The Vista and Sunstar were only produced in 2002–2004, all using the AXK engine.[1]
