I bought a used 2006 WBO View H in 2013 with 30000 miles on it. Drove it locally a couple of times then did a cross country trip in it. No major problems except a check engine light which turned out to be a glow plug. She has 68000 on her now & still humming along. Never felt I had to tow a car because her size allows for easy parking just about anywhere.

Class C 2013 Jayco Greyhawk. Very pleased with the layout. We are a little disappointed with some of the quality of the products they used. After 3 years the material on the couch, dining area, drivers and passenger seat is flaking off. Wrote to Jayco and they will not do anything about it. For this I have to give it a 4.

I have a Jayco 27 DL with a Ford V-10. We have over 60,000 miles on it. I would rank it a 7. Mainly because of the lack of room for the passenger and the tremendous heat that develops for that passenger. Miserable when outside temps are around 85. Have to run the A/C full blast to keep my wife comfortable over there. Dream of a nice Class A with engine in rear, but this is what we can afford and we'll make due until we win the Lottery.

That heat is easy to fix Johnny...read about it in a YouTube video...guy relined it with better thermo paper and did a great job but surprised it was so easy to do...

Thanks for the information on protecting the passenger side of the floor on Class C. We have a 2006 Jayco 27DL with the V-10 so there's not a lot of room under that dog-house. I'm not sure of the part you described concerning underneath the cab.. I couldn't see you applying that and not sure just where it goes? Unfortunately I received your great reply to my dilemma a little to late. We leave on a 1400 mile round-trip across the state of Washington to the coast at Pacific Beach. So looks like another suffering trip with the heat. It was never too bad on the driver's side but the passenger side was really like an oven. Thanks again!!

Have a 40 foot Monaco DP. Thinking about downsizing to a View. Opinions on the Views?

cfred · 10-12-2018, 06:59 AM

Switched from 30' Class "A" to 07 View n haven't looked back. Perfect size for the 2 of us n 60 lb. dog....do a lot of hiking on Nat'l/State parks consequently dry camping. Run genset (propane) 30 minutes each day to keep house batteries up. Great handling, easy parking. Selling as we want to visit New Zealand before our expiration date n need the $$. Take a look......https://asheville.craigslist.org/rvs...704746841.html

We did a lot of research before landing on our 2018 Coachmen 21RS. We liked the Chevy platform because of the extra storage space in the basement under the bed, reliability ( it can have oil changes done at Chevy dealer and is under warranty and has 2 more free oil changes coming) and the rear view camera is integrated with the radio and allows you to use it full time as a rear view mirror. We bought a model that was loaded and appreciate the extras. With 6000 miles under our belt, we are ready to rig our Sonic as a toad and spend the better part of next year on the road.
Layout is a 10, working mechanics is a 10, drivability is a 10, quality of build and cabinetry is an 8; as we expected ( this is after all not a super deluxe DP). After owning a 32’ class A one owner, we are ready for gremlins and depend on the information shared by this group. I highly recommend this Class C in the Chevy platform and rate it a 9.5

We have a 2016 GulfStream Conquest C model 6237. 24 feet long and perfect for the 2 of us and our 2 spaniels. 18,000 miles and no issues. Definitely a 10

2012 bought new in 2012, have put over 89000 miles, most towing an open car trailer! NO Complaints!

We're on our second View. First was a 2014 used with 7000 miles. Had lots of engine light problems. Drove it 25,000 miles and traded it in on a 2016, new. 30,000 miles on this one and so far perfect. We have the M plan that Winnebago doesn't make any more. Entire driver's side wall slides out. Lots of room.
We downsized from a 36' 2004 National RV Dolphin.
