Asking for Advice

Posted this earlier today in the Class A section. Minimal response so I thought I would post here also. Thanks

I know there have been countless comments regarding gas vs diesel. This is a bit different. Wife and I currently own a 2014 Winnebago Vista 31 KE. Other than the constant issues with the jacks, we have really enjoyed the motorhome for the last three years. When we bought it, it had 5,000 miles on it. It now has right at 20,000 miles. We pull a 2004 Jeep Wrangler.

Just finished a five week trip out west and around 5,500 miles. I now know I would like a 50 amp service for two ACs, a bedroom slide out, and a black water wash out rather than having to drag a hose through my MH. We are currently looking at Winnebago Sightseer 33C and 36Z. We are also looking at the Winnebago Forza 34T. We like both and there are currently some pretty good looking deals on the 2017.

I keep my motorhome in a 40 foot deep metal building with 14 foot walls, but the top to bottom opening is only 13 foot one inch. I am saying this because I am limited by size.

What are your thoughts regarding the motorhomes i mentioned? We are in no hurry when we travel, only driving 60 mph and I dont have any problems dropping my speed to lower rpms on steep hills. Just not in a hurry. We like the floor plans on these motorhomes.

Thanks for any advice you might have.

The DP has more pulling power and also more maintenance cost. If yo like to do your own maintenance then stick with the gasser if yo really like the floor plan. That being said, the DP will get better fuel mileage and is easier to fill-up at the fuel stops due t being able to use the truck lanes.
Basically the DP you are talking about is an entry level DP so if you were to get an Adventurer/Suncruiser it would in theory be better appointed than the Forza.
So check them all out and specifically the 33C Sonova you talked about. Make sure you look at them when in Travel mode and with the slides out.
I almost bought the 33c but opted not to because I could not get into and out of it easily with the slides in, other wise I liked it, but now I see I made a much better choice.
