At the foundation of the Winnebago ARKA is the rugged Ram 5500 diesel chassis, powered by a 6.7L Cummins I-6 diesel engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The ARKA comes standard with 4x4 capability and delivers a 19,500-pound GVWR, 43,000-pound GCWR, and a 52-gallon diesel fuel tank. It also includes important driver-assist and safety features such as forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, drowsy driver detection, and electronic stability control.
Extended Off-Grid Power for Longer Adventures
The Winnebago ARKA is engineered for extended off-grid camping with the ability to stay off-grid for up to 14 days. It features 800 watts of solar power, up to 15 kWh of lithium battery capacity, and dedicated alternator charging to help keep your systems powered while you travel. The ARKA also uses a 48V EcoFlow Power Hub, which manages solar input, alternator charging, shore power, and inverter output through one integrated system. With Winnebago Connect™, owners can monitor and control power, climate, tanks, locks, and pet security from the control panel or mobile app.
True All-Season Comfort
The 2027 Winnebago ARKA is built for all-season performance, with operating comfort from -10°F to 120°F. Hydronic heating, heated floors, and high-efficiency insulation help keep the interior comfortable when conditions are less than ideal. The Elwell Timberline hydronic heating system provides even interior heat and continuous hot water without relying on a traditional propane furnace. With heated floors, insulated roof vents, and smart climate control through Winnebago Connect™, the ARKA is designed for cold-weather camping, hot-weather travel, and everything in between.
A Rugged Interior That Still Feels Refined
Inside, the Winnebago ARKA blends durability with comfort. The lounge area includes a full galley, aluminum cabinetry with select lockable compression latches, soft overhead storage compartments, easy-to-clean surfaces, and flexible living space for relaxing, working, eating, and sleeping. The galley includes solid-surface countertops, a flip-up counter extension, accent lighting, a 6.2 cu. ft. 12V refrigerator, and a portable induction cooktop. The interior is designed to feel controlled, quiet, and comfortable while still being tough enough for real adventure travel.
Flexible Sleeping and Living Space
The ARKA 20Z floorplan is designed to adapt to your adventure. The dinette can shift from seating to storage, workspace, or sleeping space, while the optional cabover sleeping module can convert into twin beds, a queen bed, or a king-sized WinnSleep® bed. Depending on the configuration, the ARKA can sleep up to four people, making it a smart choice for couples, small families, or adventure travelers who want extra room for guests.
