This Tiny Motorhome Drives Like A Car, Is As Short As A Pickup Truck, And You Can Buy One Soon

There are winds of change in the RV industry as buyers are saying no to gargantuan motorhomes and are demanding smaller coaches that are easier to live with. As RV producers rush to meet this demand, one brand stands out with a particularly attractive option. This is the new Wingamm Oasi 610 US, a Class-C motorhome of tiny proportions. This compact rig is designed to feel like you’re driving a car and is as short as a long half-ton pickup truck. You’ll be able to buy one soon, too!

Wingamm has had quite a long journey to get to this point. I first covered the brand in 2021, back when Wingamm said it was bringing its smaller Oasi 540 to America as the Oasi 540.1. A series of delays and certification hurdles meant that Wingamm didn’t start delivering the Oasi 540.1 to American customers until January of this year. Now the Wingamm operation is running full steam ahead, and it’s ready to expand its lineup.

The headlining feature of the Oasi 540.1 was that it packed a Class C-style motorhome interior into a space measuring only 17 feet, 6 inches long. The Oasi 540.1 is shorter than a half-ton pickup truck and shorter than a van, too. This is a motorhome that fits into a similar footprint as a mid-size pickup truck, which is amazing.

But what I really adored about the Oasi 540.1 is that it was remarkably cozy despite its diminutive size. The motorhome had a sizable wet bath, a roomy dinette, and real space to move around. That’s due to Wingamm’s brilliant floorplan, which I’ll get to later.

Downsizing is a huge trend in RVing today. Every time I go to an RV show, I see some sort of new compact travel trailer or motorhome, which I love. However, there are still tons of buyers going toward larger coaches. It makes total sense to have a lineup of motorhomes of various sizes to cast a wider net to catch buyers. As such, Wingamm is bringing two of its larger models to America, the 610 and the 690. Yet, “larger” is relative here, because they’re still small by American standards.

An Established Player In Italy

It’s been a while since I last covered Wingamm, and it’s still a fresh face in America. So, here’s a quick refresher on what Wingamm is. If you’ve read my previous coverage, feel free to skip ahead:

Wingamm opened its doors in Italy in 1977. Its founders, the Turri brothers, were initially builders of furniture. Eventually, the pair fell in love with RVs, and decided to use their experience in the furniture business to create their own RVs. The Turri brothers founded Wingamm, drawing inspiration from the peregrine falcon. Like the bird of prey, Wingamm sees its campers as robust, nimble vehicles capable of getting you to your destination in comfort.

Wingamm started off small, by taking vans supplied by customers, chopping off their roofs and fitting a fiberglass camper shell in their place.

In 1982, Wingamm launched a major evolution of its brand, the Oasis, which is known to us as the Oasi. This coach was a big deal because, in designing the Oasis, Wingamm’s designers crafted a custom fiberglass monocoque for the camper portion. In Wingamm’s eye, building a fully fiberglass body meant that not only would the buyer get something that would stand the test of time, but Wingamm could craft its motorhome into a distinctive look.

The early Oasi fiberglass coaches were attached to Fiat Ducato cutaway vans, a practice that continues today. Wingamm has developed its motorhomes into luxurious coaches, and they’re still proudly fiberglass and tiny today. Part of the secret sauce to why a Wingamm is small on the outside and big inside is how the company arranges its floorplans. Most RV builders carve out a space for a primary bed, but this takes up valuable room. In a Wingamm, the primary bed folds neatly into the ceiling, and then folds down when it’s time to go to bed.

This design means that, basically, the bed, dinette, and kitchen can all share some of the same space. The bed is tucked away in the daytime, allowing the full length of the coach to be roomy for relaxation, cooking, or bathing. Then, when it’s time to sleep, the bed swings down. The dinette turns into another bed, so you can fit a whole small family in a Wingamm if you want to.

The new Wingamm Oasi 610 US, which will be making its official public U.S. debut on January 14, 2026, at the Florida RV Super Show, adds a few feet of length, and I think the trade-off might be worth it.

Fitting A Big Motorhome Into A Small Space

The Oasi 610 is another historical model for Wingamm. It launched in 1991 as a larger option in the lineup, and Wingamm says it was also designed to follow the era’s automotive fashions.

Visually, the modern 610 looks like the smaller 540.1, only scaled up. Wingamm gives its coaches distinctive bodies with plenty of sculpted swoops that make the motorhome look like it’s going 100 mph when it’s idling through a campground at 10 mph. This body is constructed completely of fiberglass and polyurethane. Wingamm says its body is molded as a single piece, and the fiberglass is so thick and strong that the body does not need a metal skeleton like some other fiberglass motorhomes have.

One huge benefit to Wingamm’s design is that there are remarkably few places for water to even attempt to get in. But if you do have a bad day, it’s not like there’s lauan to rot out. Wingamm also says the thick, insulated fiberglass is great for camping in cold or hot weather, too.

Attached to the front of all American Wingamms is a Ram ProMaster cutaway featuring a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 making 276 HP and driving the front wheels through an automatic transaxle. Europeans can get their Wingamm Fiat Ducatos with diesels, but Stellantis doesn’t give America such an option.

While the ProMaster is known for its somewhat carlike feel – at least compared to vans like a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or a Ford Transit – its engine bay is very tight, which can make even basic services take longer than you’d expect. Keep that in mind if you’ll be paying a Ram dealer for maintenance.

Moving inside the Wingamm 610 US reveals a familiar, yet different interior. Like the 540.1, there’s a nice dinette directly behind the front seats and the bathroom directly behind the dinette. Across from the dinette is the kitchen and storage, and above it is the bed. The configuration looks a little different, but Wingamm kept the same format.

The twist is how Wingamm decided to use the roughly three feet of extra length, and it’s by placing a permanent bed at the very rear of the coach. The kitchen is also a little smaller. In the 540.1, you get a large prep area. In the 610 US, the sink is also the prep area. You also get a two-burner stove and a compact fridge-freezer combo.

The loss of prep space is a bummer, but I think the motorhome makes up for it in another way. The 610 has a variant with a motorcycle garage in the back. Yeah, somehow Wingamm managed to not only fit a full living space, but to also add a garage large enough to slide a Vespa into. That alone makes the 610 more compelling than the 540.1 to me, because now you can carry secondary transportation in the motorhome!

The photos that you see here are the Italian version; the American version I will see in Tampa will almost certainly have some minor equipment and design changes.

In terms of materials, the American Wingamms are made with Rubelli fabrics for the seating areas and curtains, Brivio Italian poplar plywood for counter surfaces, Arpa Ker Laminates, and Kaindl Optimatt laminates for the cabinetry and walls. Zamak alloys are used for hinges, and the furniture is bonded to the fiberglass structure rather than screwed in place. The garage is built out of double-walled fiberglass, and the bathroom is fiberglass, too. Wingamm’s obsession with fiberglass also shows in the sink cover and cutting board combo, which looks like it’s wood, but is fiberglass.

If the 610 US is built anything like the 540.1, this interior will feel well-built. Sure, there are no exotic materials at work here, but in my personal observations, the interior of a Wingamm is put together with the kind of care and attention to detail that’s missing in a shocking number of coaches from Indiana.

But Wait, There’s More!

If the 610 US is too small, Wingamm is also bringing the Oasi 690 US to America, too. This overall design has been around in Europe since at least 2010.

At 22.7 feet long, it’s small, but not as impressively tiny as its siblings. But what you trade in length, you gain in even more interior space. The layout of the 690 is similar to the 610, but the kitchen counter is bigger, as is the rear bed and the refrigerator. In fact, the rear end sort of just becomes a bedroom of its own, which is neat.

The bathroom also grows in size to become a dry bath, one where the toilet, sink, and shower are not all in the same place.

The rear garage expands to become large enough for a big motorcycle, or maybe a pair of ebikes and other gear. Of course, the images you see here are for the European version, and there will almost certainly be some changes to the American one. Either way, I suspect that the 690 US will be appealing to buyers who want the closest thing to the typical American motorhome experience, but still want it relatively small.

Wingamm says the 610 has a gross weight of 7,716 pounds (that’s 3,500 kilograms) and sleeps four. The 690 has the same gross weight and the same seating arrangement. Other U.S.-specific details have not been revealed yet. However, it’s likely that these two motorhomes will be like the Oasi 540.1 and have propane, AGM, and lithium house batteries, solar power, and a trailer hitch. In Europe, both the 610 and the 690 also have real waste tanks, unlike the 540, which has a cassette toilet. So, it will be interesting to see what we get.

Stay Tuned

Wingamm hasn’t announced pricing details yet. The Oasi 540.1 currently runs at $188,500, which makes it cheaper than a luxury camper van from the likes of Airstream or 27North, but much more expensive than a compact Class C from one of the giant brands from Indiana. I would expect the 610 and 690 to come with similarly premium price tags.

Don’t worry, because I’ll get all of these details and more when I see and maybe drive these coaches at Wingamm’s launch event in January.

Wingamm’s motorhomes definitely aren’t for everyone. You do have to pay a pretty hefty price tag, and I know some folks aren’t huge fans of the Ram ProMaster, either. However, the Wingamm buyers I’ve met thus far think that their new motorhomes are pretty much the greatest thing since sliced bread. So, if you feel like this is for you, I have a feeling you’ll probably like it.

Personally, I’m just happy to see a new face in the American RV space that’s doing something different. The American market is a tough one to crack, and many companies have fallen while trying to be different. So, it’s exciting to see that Wingamm wants to invest in this country. I think more choice is always better when it comes to RVs, and it looks like Wingamm is keeping things interesting.
