We downsized from a 45-foot 2008 Newmar Mountain Aire to the 24-foot Winnebago View-Profile. The primary advantage has been much lower operating costs and drivability. The View goes anywhere a van can go and parks anywhere a large pickup can. Towing a vehicle for use after setting up camp is entirely optional as the View can make that run to Walmart for supplies as easily as a car. Being a Class C, we are able to take our furry friends along just as we did in the Mountain Aire, which was our primary reason for not trying out a towable RV. Being a V6 diesel fuel engine, the View has good low end towing power and great gas mileage. It goes down the road quit well. While we miss the space in our Mountain Aire and the convenience of the things we carried for a second home, the move to a Class C so my wife could drive was worth the change. Show less

Waiting for the other one to poop its pants. Sent POS motor to Winnie,,, with note,,no comment back. Two 75 year old owners, fixed income . Never any kids. Now the crap plastic upholstery all peeling, blistering. Cost to replace $$$ no options. Gotta do it. Everything except your Ford chassis is cheap Chinese crap. Used sparingly 27K miles. Ford part is the only thing good so far,,,,, Show less

We traveled around the country and lived full time in this RV. When we looked at other RVs we were always amazed by how small their pantry or kitchen storage areas were. We could fit full size instapot, airfryer, vitamix and etc. No problems. Our three kids had room for clothes and etc. Front bay had plenty of room and space under bed was awesome. Cabinets felt like they were quality and my wife loved the kitchen space for cooking. Overall we had a great time and very few issues. Show less

I love that they brought the retro look back for the 2015/2016 years. The bathroom is so roomy. The driver’s side full slide really opens the space up and makes it very livable. There are so many sleeping areas too, we bought ours from a family of 7. We lived in and traveled in this model for multiple years from Ohio to Colorado and Washington to Arizona. There were just two of us and our labrador so I would have preferred a table and chairs to the dinette, just for comfort. Show less

Our grandsons have loved camping in this Forza 3R. A quiet, comfortable long-distance ride on soft air-shock suspension with a powerful Cummins 340 HP Diesel engine pushing from way in the back is similar to a luxury touring bus. Seat belts provided for ten people. Averages 10 mpg with a 90-gallon diesel fuel tank for a nearly 900-mile range. We've camped in luxurious style with a full-wall slide-out on the right and a queen-sized master bedroom slide-out on the left, two bunk beds, a very comfortable couch that folds out to a queen-sized bed, a dinette that transforms into a comfortable bed for one, a fireplace, and a bath and a half are what makes this Winnebago Forza Class A diesel standout. This unit easily sleeps seven and makes a perfect traveling home that our children and grandchildren have loved. Entrance into this Forza is just in front of the passenger seat which, along with the driver’s seat, can swivel around and become extra seating once you reach your destination. Additionally, the passenger seat has a fold-out footrest and a tuck-away desk/tabletop. Heading back along the left side you find a full-wall slide-out providing plenty of extra foot traffic space to move about. There is a Benchmark dinette for mealtime which can easily be changed into a one-person bed with ample storage space under the seat bottoms. There is a queen-sized sofa/sleeper, and a multi-purpose room that transforms from an office space for two into a set of bunk beds with additional ample storage space under its seat bottoms. There is also a spacious wardrobe directly across from the air-sleep system queen bed in the master bedroom. Along the right side is a spacious residential refrigerator with a freezer and icemaker. There is also a pantry for dry and canned goods storage, a three-burner range, a convection/microwave oven and a double kitchen sink all set into a handsome grey marbled Corian countertop. An angled 50" HDTV that can receive input from either of four sources…a roof-mounted King Digital TV low-profile antenna, an included satellite HD TV system with permanently roof-mounted and retractable satellite dish, an included Roku Wi-Fi streaming receiver with remote, or via the included coax cable attached to the RV park coax output… is opposite the full wall slide which makes viewing easy from just about any seating in the space. There is an electric fireplace for warm ambiance. A convenient half-bath including a toilet and vanity with sink is located across from the bunks. There is also a storage space in the half-bath opposite the vanity. Next, there is a sliding privacy door to the master bedroom and a hinged walk-in door to the rear full bath. The queen bed slides out with dual nightstands for added space to walk around. There is also a flip-down 28" HDTV above the foot of the bed for late-night viewing. The master bathroom in the rear offers a shower, toilet, and vanity with sink, a washer and dryer, plus storage space. Annual winterizing and de-winterizing are easy using RV Winterizing Fluid with a winterizing valve and a hot water heater bypass valve. A 6,000-watt Cummins Onan quiet 50-amp generator and a 2,000-watt inverter/charger makes this coach self-sufficient. The hot water heater can be run on electricity, on gas or on both, and there are two air conditioners and one heat pump plus one gas furnace. Show less

The Winnebago Adventurer 35P is the ideal Class A motorhome for a couple. It incorporates nearly all the luxury features of coaches that are 6 to 7 feet longer but still offers the driveability of a smaller coach. At just under 36" (actual length) it is easy to both drive and park. We do not have children and I specified that the coach is perfect for a couple. Even though both the dinette and the sofa create additional sleeping areas I would not necessarily suggest this unit for a family. It has one well designed bathroom/shower but asking that area to service more than 2 people is a stretch. We flat towed a Honda CRV behind the coach and never experienced any issues. It did not require a remote braking system and towing only took the gas mileage down about 10% to 15%, which seemed reasonable. I did not have much reason to be in touch with the Winnebago tech support people but on the few occasions when I did they were most helpful. Note: this is our 8th motorhome in 48 years of RVing and our 3rd Winnebago. Show less

Great RV Lots of room and tons of power in the V10. Comfortable sleeping arrangements and lots of sitting and cooking space. Huge storage area in the back and underneath. Some road noise while driving like most RVs in this class. Show less

From our first long trip, we have had nothing but troubles with Winnebago. The long slide motor broke and the slide was stuck partially open. They wanted us to drive it across a bridge and on highways to make it to their repair shop. They refused to put us up in a hotel while the repairs were being made. Five years later, the same thing happened again, but we were camping in North Florida. Winnebago refused any sort of warranty service but admitted that the slide track and motor were failing in many cases and would need to be replaced with an upgrade, to the tune of $6000. They also failed to mention that a roller under the sink portion of the slide was never installed. Separately, the leveling jacks stopped working on several occasions. Each time we brought it in for service to an "accredited" Winnebago shop, they swore they fixed the problem. Eventually, I learned from a mechanic, that the system was losing fluid and that all I needed to do was monitor the fluid level, and replace it when it ran down. I will not recommend Winnebago to other RVers. Show less

Loss of power issue has not been diagnosed and solved despite 12 days (so far) in Sprinter shop over two year period. Mercedes “customer care” will not help us with out of pocket expenses due to trip interruption in spite of their inability to fix what they build. This is a serious safety issue, but that makes no difference to them. These vehicles are over-engineered, with 40 computers (they said), providing abundant opportunities for failure. My biggest complaint is the total lack of empathy by MB. My advice is to avoid Benz products altogether unless you are willing to work on them yourself, and if so, good luck! Show less
