2003 VW Rialta for sale by owner - Duluth, MN - craigslist (2024)

There is a wealth of information to convey; please feel free to ask questions. MORE PICTURES COMING!!

This VW Winnebago Rialta QD offers a fully featured Class B Motor Home with coach accessories and conveniences of much bigger units, powered by a European Drive Train including a strong VW 201hp 24V gasoline VR6, delivers 15-16.5 mpg and has 116,745 Engine miles with a Rebuilt Automatic Transmission with only 7,250 miles.

Please note: The VW Rialta Winnebago is variously described as a Class B and a Class C motor home. You decide. The actual color is GOLD, which is not an option in the Craigslist menu.

This is an easy-to-drive-and-park-vehical, more comparable to a Chevy Suburban than a Road Monster. At 7 feet wide and 21.5 feet long, one can park in many conventional automobile parking spaces. An installed Rear View Back-Up Camera displayed on a 4" Monitor makes parking even easier.

Our Rialta has a Rear Queen Bed platform that is 92” wide x 52” deep. We use an Exped inflatable MegaMat Duo for our mattress, as that has provided maximum comfort and easiest use with the storage areas below the bed. The Rialta will sleep another one or two Adults in the 72x40" Forward Bed converted from Companion Seats behind Front Seats.

Not only does the VW Rialta look good from the outside, but the outside looks good from the inside through large coach windows, including the large rear-facing picture window with view from the driver’s seat. These large windows, ailing with two skylights, fill the VW Rialta with natural light, and lend an open feeling to the interior.

Shower in the Spacious Pull Out Shower/Commode Stall, an Award Winning Design. The Water Heater employs a very clever arrangement using a Heat Exchanger to provide 140º water after driving 100 miles, or power up the Electric Water Heater when in camp. Wet Sink storage areas and a removable 110V Whirlpool Refrigerator make up Galley. Thermostatically controlled 19k BTU Gas Furnace takes off the chill of cooler nights.

PLEASE NOTE: We have removed both the Generator and the Roof Top Air Conditioner. The Generator compartment [on the Driver’s side] is now a storage compartment. The Roof Top Air Unit was replaced with a translucent skylight. We were never impressed with the quality or performance of either mechanism, and believe the improvement in aerodynamics and weight reduction more than justified this change.

The one major flaw in this unit is a cosmetic bump on the right rear exterior corner of the Body. The previous owner did this damage, and told us it was a $150 for the parts. We think it might cost more, but never bothered.
