I have a 1978 Minnie Winnie Class c 24.6 motorhome.I have the owners manual for the Minnie that lists all the sizes lengths,and engine sizes. I am away from home right now,but will return tomorrow,and will post all the info, that is in the manual for you then.Maybe this will help you to identify it further.Thanks ben

Hello I am looking at a Winnebago Motorhome manual that came with mine,and it has the specs for yours' all the 1978's..On page 6 it lists the model numbers as being WD20RG,WD423RB,WD424RH, which is the one that I have ,and the WC525RB that is on the Chevy chassis..All have the 360 Dodge engines except the chevy which is a 350..If you will pm me, I will either scan this page with all the specs, such as wheelbase,water capacities, fuel tank is 36 gallons.. It is really alot of info, or if you like I can make you a copy of the owners manual.. Just let me know. I hope this helps.. ben

Our 1978 Minnie Winnie has the Dodge 440 Engine. Not sure how I could help you identify yours, but you are correct that the D300 Dodge Parts have helped with chassis parts.

Hey Bill, is it possible for you to get access to the passengers side of the engine? If so look at the engine block just behind the exhaust manifold on the main body of the engine block. You'll see some numbers embossed on the block, It will say 440 at the end of the numbers. Do you have the Dodge Motor Home Chassis Service Manual Models M-300,M375,RM-300,RM-350,RM-400?
