Wanting run, Victor Borge's heading past camper (9)

I believe the answer is:

winnebago

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'camper' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'wanting run victor borge's heading past' is the wordplay.
'wanting run victor' becomes 'winne' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'heading' indicates taking the first letters (head could mean the top letter).
'past' becomes 'ago' (similar in meaning).
The initial letter of 'borges' is 'b'.
'winne'+'b'+'ago'='WINNEBAGO'

Can you help me to learn more?
