Winnebago View reviews

Bought this Class C View last August, we down sized from a Tiffin Phaeton 40IH, and Entegra Anthem’s. We wanted to keep things easier with a smaller unit and for the most part it has been ok for livability, wish it had a washer dryer combo. The problem is Winnebago warranty is horrible. They will not pay for the time and trip charge to have. Mobile repair person fix your problem. They will only cover the repair if you take it to one of their dealers. That means drop it off and wait for two weeks for them to get to it, then go back and pick it up. This is the first and last Winnebago I will purchase, Tiffin and Entegra warranty departments went out of their way to resolve issues at their expense. Spend $160k and get crap from Winnebago. Problems so far that I have fixed myself, Main door solenoid detached from opener Water interior water leak due to loose fitting at Truma water heater Exterior Doors not closing properly Exterior mirrors not sides covered in paint overspray AC/Heat Pump fan will only operate on Hi mode low fan does not work this is unresolved due to Winnebago warranty policy of not paying for mobile service! We are done with Winnebago and will be selling or trading this 2024 24D with new King Shocks, new heavy duty leaf springs, and 48 gal fuel tank! Show less

We love our 24J. Super reliable Mercedes chassis and very reliable interior as well. We had a service warranty and barely used it over the years. It has the ideal layout with tons of storage space, useful kitchen and comfortable beds. The interior is very manageable even with the slide out stowed. We have crossed the country twice and the last trip was for four months. We had one minor issue on the four month trip that was fixed in an hour. We have zero complaints. Show less

After a wonderful experience owning a 2006 View, I bought a 2018 View new at a dealership. Overall, it has been a good RV. It enables great adventures in the outdoors, all over the US. But reliability has been Good, Bad and Ugly. THE GOOD: Mercedes makes a workhorse chassis that is designed to go for years, and get good mileage (14mpg). Winnebago makes a class C that is packed with features and all the comforts of home. THE BAD: Here's what failed in the last 5 years: DEF tank sensor, propane regulator, powered skylight, coach stereo, rear camera, chassis battery, attachment of the front cap to the body, both AM/FM antennas, door deadbolt. THE UGLY: Here's what failed in the very FIRST year: roof A/C compressor, refrigerator thermostat, bathroom fan, house batteries, chassis battery, rooftop solar panels, house grounding wire, Whew. Luckily I kinda like the challenge of fixing things myself, with YouTube's help. RV service centers are inconvenient, slow, expensive and rarely competent. If things keep breaking, I will need to get something else. Show less

I bought mine sight-unseen in the winter of 2009 during the financial crisis. eBay said "you've won!" and I instantly had heartburn. But it turned out better than I could have ever hoped. I got a helluva deal and enjoyed it for 9 years. Typical Winnebago (RV industry) quality. I was forced to become an RV technician, but willingly. Youtube is an amazing teacher. Previous owners (for nearly 3 years) had fixed any initial issues. I was able to fix Mercedes input air sensor issue, and other small ones. The converted couch bed was really not acceptable for my wife and I. Just too small. Even after getting a topper. In 2025 I can look back and say it was a great RV. Show less

Overall, we are very pleased with our 2019 Winnebago View 24D. It’s easy to drive and maneuver in traffic and a snap to get into and out of a camping location. We’ve taken our View into the mountains on public lands and used established campgrounds, but but primarily we enjoyed camping in friends and family's driveways. The on-demand hot water heater functions beautifully with instant hot water, and the propane furnace is excellent, switching to electric when available. The layout is awesome allowing maximum room for living, food preparation and cooking (outstanding amount of kitchen counter space). Storage inside and underneath is more than ample. Having a self-contained shower is wonderful. All of the water tanks (fresh, gray and black water tanks) are well sized to meet long use needs. The generator is a bonus and works beautifully for that extra bit of power to run the microwave and AC. Winnebago went all out to make all of its systems easy to operate and hassle free to ensure a safe and fun camping experience for us. Why are we selling this awesome RV? We hit our 70's and decided it was time to travel the world. This was our second RV, so we are experienced RV'ers and will work with the buyer, demonstrating how the RV works. Experience living in this RV for long periods, makes us experts in its use. Show less

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
