Leisure Travel Vans Wonder Rear Lounge vs Winnebago Vita 24F
2026 Class C comparison · side-by-side specs, verdict, and who each is best for.
Quick verdict
Both Class C coaches measure within 4 inches in length and both sleep 4, but they answer different highway questions. The Leisure Travel Vans Wonder Rear Lounge runs a Ford Transit DRW gas chassis with a 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (310 hp, 400 ft-lb torque) on a 178-inch wheelbase, with a single slide, 270Ah lithium battery, 3000W pure-sine inverter, 4kW gas generator, theater seating, residential fridge, and a $195,250 sticker. The Winnebago Vita 24F uses a Mercedes Sprinter 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel (188 hp), no slide, walkaround queen bed, 37 gal fresh, 41 gal grey, 41 gal black, and 12 gal LP at $199,181.
For the Class C category, the Wonder Rear Lounge's Murphy-bed sectional plus front dinette converts the entire interior between sleep and day modes - the Vita 24F keeps its queen always set up but loses flexibility. The Wonder Rear Lounge wins on house power; the Vita 24F wins on engine torque and headroom. Verdict: pick the Wonder Rear Lounge for off-grid convertible-space living, the Vita 24F for diesel-touring families.

Pick the Leisure Travel Vans Wonder Rear Lounge if…
Pick the Leisure Travel Vans Wonder Rear Lounge if you tour seasonally and need a Class C that converts its full rear into either a lounge or master bedroom. The Murphy system, near floor-to-ceiling windows, dual reclining lounge chairs, and patented Leisure Lounge make the Wonder Rear Lounge a residential daytime space that becomes a bedroom in 60 seconds. Pair that with 270Ah lithium, 3000W inverter, and 4kW generator and you can boondock in coffee-shop-grade comfort for days.
Pick the Winnebago Vita 24F if…
Pick the Winnebago Vita 24F if you want a diesel Class C with a permanent queen bed and you do not want to set up a Murphy every night. The Sprinter 3.0L diesel delivers cross-country efficiency at 16-19 mpg, the walkaround queen accommodates couples without nightly conversion, and 41 gal grey/black tanks extend stays at full-hookup parks. Vita 24F is the choice for retirees logging 12,000+ miles a year who value fuel savings over off-grid power.
Frequently asked
Which has more cargo capacity?
Neither datasheet lists a finalized cargo capacity, but the Wonder Rear Lounge's 11,000 lb GVWR vs Vita 24F's 11,030 lb GVWR is essentially identical. Real-world cargo depends on options. Both coaches handle a couple plus gear and a tow car without strain.
How does the slide impact livability?
The Wonder Rear Lounge's single power slide extends a sectional into the rear, adding meaningful square footage when parked. The Vita 24F has zero slides, so what you see is what you live in - simpler mechanically but tighter.
Is the Sprinter diesel worth the $3,931 premium?
If you drive 12,000+ mi/yr, yes - the Vita 24F's diesel saves roughly $1,400/yr in fuel. If you drive under 6,000 mi/yr, the Wonder's gas Transit pays back via house power and slide. Decide on annual miles.
