Winnebago LeSharo

Le Winnebago LeSharo (vendu aussi sous le nom Itasca Phasar) est un modèle de camping-car à toit bas, long de 6 m, construit par Winnebago Industries (en) aux États-Unis sur une base de Renault Trafic. Le modèle a été lancé à une époque de hausse de prix du carburant et de baisse des ventes de camping-cars. Ce nouveau modèle proposait aux clients le même confort des modèles précédents, mais sans la consommation ruineuse des blocs V6 ou V8 qui les équipaient.

Première génération (1983-1986)

Conçu au moment de l'entrée en vigueur aux États-Unis d'une législation plus stricte en matière d'économie de carburant et où la limitation de vitesse était fixée à 55 mi/h (89 km/h) en vue d'économiser le carburant, le Winnebago LeSharo avait pour objectif de plaire aux conducteurs qui cherchaient une meilleure efficacité énergétique que celle des camping-cars traditionnels. Le châssis et la cabine étaient construits par Renault, sur plate-forme de Renault Trafic (T5, LWB), et ils étaient ensuite livrés sous la forme de kits CKD à

Alleyside Outtake: 1985 Winnebago LeSharo Turbo Diesel – “Caution, I’m Slow”

It pays to walk down a different alley once in a while…in this case, the payoff was a nothing less than a LeSharo, which has become exceedingly rare. It has the FWD cab and drive train form a Renault Trafic van mated to a low-profile fiberglass camper body. I have not seen one for well over a decade; the last one is written up here.

And yes, with a 75 hp 2.1 L Renault turbo diesel, it was slow, although not as slow as the 57 hp naturally-aspirated version.

A truthful bumper sticker, for a change. Now if this was the non-turbo version with 57 hp, the bumper sticker would have to be even more explicit in its warning.

Yes, that’s a Renault Trafic van cab disguised under that primitive fiberglass disguise.

You’re more likely to see the second evolution if this body, mated to a VW T4 Eurovan front end, which was a bit more US-compatible with its VR6 engine. These came along in 1994, two years after the Renault-based version was put to sleep.

In the late 1970s, the United States was still recovering from the 1973 and 1979 fuel crises which caused the US car industry to begin to re-evaluate its basic design and manufacturing concepts. This spread even to that most American of all automotive creations (together with the pick-up truck), the Recreational Vehicle.

The Recreational Vehicle (R.V.) or Mobile Home was a vehicle from 21' to 36 ' in length capable of sleeping 4 to 6 people in comfort with most of the amenities of a home- kitchen stove, refrigerator, bathroom/shower, toilet and washbasin, with storage, seating, waste disposal, auxiliary electrical power(generator motor),air conditioning, even television, microwaves and so on. Needless to say some of these vehicles were extremely large and unwieldy, propelled by large( 5 litre V8s, usually 6.5 to 7 litres(450 cubic inch).Weighing at anywhere around 10,000 to 12,000lbs these RVs would obtain a fuel economy(!) of about 4 to 10mpg.

The smaller RVs were based Ford, GM or Chrysler one ton vans, and although more compact, were not that fuel efficient and quite cumbers
