1997 Winnebago Itasca Suncruiser - Walkthrough, features, and modifications

Joel Villarreal does a very detailed walkthrough of the 1997 Winnebago Itasca Suncruiser he calls the Whale King. It has been through many modifications and seen a lot of updates and maintenance. We enjoyed it and put some miles on it traveling searching for a new home, now its time to switch gears and focus on the house we found.

Well done Joel. Appreciate your attention to detail and calm manner. Been working on a 97 class-c itasca winnebago. cheers-- thanks for sharing. also inspired me to try a bidet !

Thank you! We ended up selling the Winnebago to a lovely couple that is exploring INSANE ancient ruins in Mexico as we speak and now I miss it pretty bad! I'm gearing up to do another RV build soon. My adventure itch must be scratched soon.
Ps I have literally installed bidets in every bathroom since trying them. #gamechanger lol

Hi Joel,
I have a slightly different model of the 97 Suncruiser. Did you ever need to reset the roof top ac units? If so do you know where the reset button is?

[@WTFPerformanceShow]

The circuit breakers for mine were behind a wood panel under the fridge, I believe. The switch to chose one or the other for use, and I think some fuses were behind a tiny wood cabinet door above the microwave.

If you need a copy of your owners manual, you should be able to download one here: www.winnebago.com/owners/owner-resources/manuals-and-diagrams/operator-manuals
