Winnebago View reviews

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

This used but well cared for by owner has had self leveling added and was not available from factory(HWH computerized).It also came with factory cab shading for the entire front windows. Protective paint coating so paint because of storage covered is as new.All factory equipment is functioning as new with service and all recalls completed.Turbo diesel easily starts and drives with DEF tank easily filled.

This is a great RV, well made with tons of room inside for a 25 footer. It's a great floor plan with lots of nice features and built on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis. It's a great looking RV that looks so good you will be proud to go glamping in it. Great mileage (15mpg) and plenty of power for towing. Show less

We have owned many different motorhomes, campers, trailers, etc. and have found the quality and value of the View to be outstanding. Interior space is very livable, seating is good, cabinetry is well made including drawers, doors, and trim items. Kitchen layout is really function and has lots of counter space storage. Kitchen and bathroom fittings are high quality. Appliances are all good quality and work well. Ducted AC and furnace work really well on gas and electric. Slides work well in these and windows are tight. The plumbing configuration on these is really functional making it easy to connect and clean and winterize. From a coach perspective the 1 ton dually Sprinter chassis drives really well and we have driven it coast to coast in all conditions. In short, high recommend on these. Show less

My brand new 2024 View 24V was purchased on Sept. 7th, 2023. It has been at the dealer, Crowley RV for repair since September 13th, 2023. It is now October 23rd and I was just informed water is still leaking into the vehicle. The leveling system has malfunctioned with me and with those trying to seek out a reason why this is happening. The fact that it has not happened in a week means nothing because nobody can get to the bottom of why it happened in the first place. I am only grateful when the brake failed I required a tow to Mercedes. Thank goodness their service director has integrity enough to be honest. Told me they sold me a lemon. I want you..Winnebago to buy back this vehicle. I hate that I am going to have to get legal help to deal with your dishonesty, lack of integrity and the absolute fraud involved in the sale of this vehicle. I am ready to file complaint for consumer fraud. I will also share my experience relentlessly on any public forum conceivable. Your politics and handling of this is despicable. Buy back this vehicle and stop robbing of my time and money! Show less

First of all, the positives. The rig is a beast of power. The Mercedes Diesel is relentless both off road and on road excursions. I towed over 3K lbs over the steep and high Rocky Mountains of Montana, Denver, New Mexico. The hot desert roads of Death Valley, and the Appalachian Wooded mountains of Georgia, Kentucky and Alabama. Now the negatives, Generator died with 4hours use, toilet connections leaked, Infotainment Center is like a bad relationship (on again, off again) … replaced frozen shower valve … DEF sensor replaced twice, still not consistent … screen door squeaks and rattles like is about ready to fall off … propane tank sensor replaced twice, when this fails you cannot use any of the propane appliances … back up camera keeps freezing … Slide out locked when in a out position … left side stabilizer jack motor failed, using a drill bit to open and close … water pump connection broke, leaked under bed spend a week drying it out … tankless water heater controls are very temperamental, took several hot/cold showers … chrome wheel nut covers were tacked on … when I had the brakes replaced, the mechanic removed them … informed me they were just tacked on with an aluminum bead … I have a bag of shiny chrome nut covers stored in my drawer …. I attached a 120K RV garage to my current 2 car garage, just so this rig would not be exposed to any harsh weather elements … should have just put the money on a higher quality RV, and keep it outside in a cover.

Two things everyone should know that is considering buying a Winnebago View motor home. No one in our family can open the door with one hand. I am a 33 year old young lady (with no hand problems and average size hands) and I can’t open the main door into the coach without setting down what I am carrying to open the door with both hands and even then it’s a struggle to get it open. This is very annoying when trying to load anything in. They have it designed that you have to put your thumb on a specific spot and pull the handle out. I have grown up with trailers and have never seen such a bad design for the door handle. We brought the motor home to our local dealer who said they would “take a look at it” and nothing has changed on the ease of pulling the handle. Unfortunately, the adjustment they did make left a gap in the bottom of the door. Who wants to set down their load on the dirty ground? I want people to consider that this is a big problem. Problem two is you can’t run the convection microwave and induction cook top at the same time. If you do the induction cook top will stop running then beep and flash an error code. Again we brought it to our local dealership and nothing changed. This is really a pain when you are trying to make a dinner meal and warming up two things at once. Show less

Very great RV to travel and get great gas mileage for an RV. Diesel engine and drives great. Very easy to drive and park. Very safe Mercedes body and engine. The biggest pros are functional floor plan, easy to drive and park, great gas mileage and a very safe RV. The cons are you have to stay organized when sleeping and hanging out in RV. Sleeps 4 comfortably. Show less
