An RV is a home on wheels. When it comes to the inside of the home, women call the shots.

The 2010 Tour is Winnebago Industries’ top-of-the-line, high line coach because everywhere you look you see details that create a residential feeling. Well, women will notice the details. Details are sort of a crapshoot with husbands. When a man walks into the 2010 Winnebago Tour, he may see just another place to kick his feet up and watch football. But women, on the other hand, will see the Ritz Carlton on wheels.

One of the major features of the Tour is the full wall slide that opens up the entire living area and eliminates the narrow hallway that runs though the middle of a lot of coaches. Whether you’re in the 42– or 40–foot floor plan, the full wall slide brings the living space to life and gives the coach a spacious feel beyond what traditional slides can give.

Many luxury coaches may have “the look,” but they compromise on the amount of storage they offer. The Tour has the elegance that women love and the storage that we need. The driver’s side interior wall is lined with solid wood cabinets. They look great and offer a wealth of storage so everything can have its place. Not that our husbands will ever be able to find it.

The kitchen has scratch-resistant and easy to clean Corian countertops with plenty of cabinet space for even more storage. One great feature of these cabinets is that a woman doesn’t need a stepladder to access anything inside. Most importantly, we don’t have to wait until the next commercial break for our husbands to fetch something we can’t reach.

The floor has 18-inch tiles like you might find in an expensive home. Unlike carpet, which is becoming less and less popular in luxury coaches, the tile offers an elegant design and is easy to sweep or mop when your husband and his friends inevitably track in dirt. The soft-touch, leather furniture is also easy to clean—thanks to a protective spray that Winnebago applies—that, again, defends your furniture against your husband’s clumsiness. The dual recliners on the driver side are unique to the 2010 Tour. They recline individually, yet also form a bed that’s so comfortable it won’t wreck your husband’s back when he falls asleep on it.

Women may be more organized and cleaner than men, but keeping the motorhome tidy isn’t the only reason we got into the RV lifestyle. RVing is a great way to get away with the man you love and rediscover each other. The Tour’s interior features rope lighting above the cabinetry that sets a cozy mood perfect for just the two of you to relax with a bottle of wine. And when your husband spills his glass, you’re covered because everything in the coach is so easy to clean.

Another crucial feature of the 2010 Tour is the floor plan, which gives you a full bath in the rear of the coach and a half bath in the middle. The half bath is perfect for guests and husbands. The full bath is the woman’s domain. We’ve earned it. It has a great vanity with plenty of surface area for all our “stuff.” And let’s face it, women have more stuff than men. The cabinet has all sorts of storage, and there’s even a closet with a hanging rod for extra wardrobe space. The extra large shower has a skylight, detachable showerhead, and a bench. Most men like to sit on the bench and waste water, but for women, it’s great for shaving our legs.

The bathroom on the 2010 Tour also comes standard with a full washer and dryer. A lot of RVs have stackable or combo washer and dryer units, but the Tour has a residential styled set that can hold a similar capacity to what we’re used to at home.

The bedroom has ‘his’ and ‘her’ wardrobe closets, but if you play your cards right you can convince your husband to only use the underbed storage. After all, it is a king size bed. Great for cuddling. Great for sleeping. Another nice touch to the bedroom is the TV that rises up from inside the cabinetry when it’s in use and disappears back into the cabinetry when it’s not, leaving a lot of valuable surface area.

Men love TVs, and the Tour has 3 of them: one in the bedroom, one in the living room and, best of all, one outside in the outdoor entertainment center. That means he and his friends can watch the game outside while you and your friends can watch “Grey’s Anatomy” inside. It’s a win-win.

The Tour is a coach that’s always ready for fun. It offers all the comforts of home, with plenty of luxury, while not being overwhelming, and it’s easy to keep maintained and clean. When guests pop in, you don’t have to worry that your house is a mess, since there’s so much storage to keep your things hidden. We could talk about the Tour’s hydraulic leveling jacks, side view cameras, Freightliner chassis, 6-speed Allison transmission, fiberglass front and rear cap, and full body paint with gel coat, but women don’t really care about that stuff. If it’s ‘under the hood’ or outside stuff, that’s for the men. The inside … that’s for us. And, we all know who does a better job of keeping their half of the RV in order.  BRV
