Leisure Travel Vans Wonder Murphy Bed Lounge vs Winnebago Vita 24P
2026 Class C comparison · side-by-side specs, verdict, and who each is best for.
Quick verdict
These are both sub-25-ft Class C coaches but their drivetrain choices steer who they suit. The Leisure Travel Vans Wonder Murphy Bed Lounge sits on a Ford Transit DRW gas chassis with a 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (310 hp, 400 ft-lb), 270Ah lithium, 3000W inverter, and 4kW generator for $195,250. The Winnebago Vita 24P runs a Mercedes Sprinter 2.0L turbo-diesel with 9-speed automatic, 37 gal fresh, 41 gal grey, 41 gal black, and a queen walkaround bed for $199,181.
The Class C Wonder Murphy Bed Lounge has a single slide, residential fridge, theater seating, four-season package, and a 270Ah lithium house bank that the Vita 24P does not match on paper. The Vita 24P trades the Wonder's slide and lithium-electric for diesel torque, 84-in interior headroom, and larger holding tanks. Verdict: pick the Wonder Murphy Bed Lounge for off-grid livability, the Vita 24P for cross-country diesel touring.

Pick the Leisure Travel Vans Wonder Murphy Bed Lounge if…
Pick the Leisure Travel Vans Wonder Murphy Bed Lounge if you are a couple planning extended boondocking on a Class C platform. The 270Ah lithium bank, 3,000W inverter, 4kW auto-start generator, and Truma heat pump deliver full residential off-grid power. The patented Leisure Lounge with dual power recliners, near-king Murphy bed, and pop-up 40-in TV make it a livable basecamp.

Pick the Winnebago Vita 24P if…
Pick the Winnebago Vita 24P if you want a diesel Class C that comfortably sleeps four and trades electrical loadout for fuel range. The Sprinter 2.0L diesel and 9-speed gets significantly better highway mpg than the Transit V6, and the 84-in interior height with walkaround queen suits taller occupants and families. Choose the Vita 24P if your trips are road-mileage-heavy with overnight stops at hookup parks rather than week-long boondocks.
