First of all, since no one's clarified it for you. It all depends on what years you're speaking of. In the earlier years, like say the one we have, it's an '04 Itasca Horizon 36GD with the C-7 330HP CAT. The same motor home manufactured by Winnebago was the "Vectra" model. There are differences in the colors, tail lights, head lights, interiors, cabinetry, and more.
Both of those coaches, were basically the top of the line for '04, for the general lineup. Winne had two top tier models above those but, #1, I forgot what they were called and, #2, Itasca didn't have any models above the Horizon.
As time went on, different models of Itasca rose to the top of the line model. In '04, when ours was made, the Itasca Meridian was #2 down from the top. But, again, as time went on, it rose to #1 in the lineup.
The differences between many Winnes and Itasca's over the years was comparable to GMC pickups and Chevy pickups of yesteryear. Almost the same pickup with more glorified accouterments on the GMC. But, as time went on, Chevy and GMC are pretty much the EXACT same truck now.
Itasca has or is, pretty much fading away and Winne will be only using their original name from that time on.
