The first 33D we drove had the front wheel cap off. Didn't think much about it until after I experienced the bad vibration on the test drive. Upon closer inspection the cap opening is where the oil fill window is for the hub. It was like service was searching for a cause for the vibration. The other point I will stress is the third unit we test drove when we were on our way home so we literally drove our 2011 Southwind 32VS pulling our toad off 95 into the dealer and drove their 33D. Then we were back in our Southwind again driving the same stretch of road and going what the? We could not believe we were even considering trading.

Totally different coach. I've test driven (2) 35C's which are the same as the B's and there is no comparison. The 35's drive really well with hardly any noise. You are trying to compare a 242" wheel base with a 208" wheel base. We would have bought a 35C but bedroom layout is terrible. There's hardly enough room to put your pants on, no wardrobe space when compared to our Southwind 32VS, not enough air conditioning vents in the bed area considering the big windows in the hall and no night stand on one side of the bed. Before they moved the rear slide out from the passenger side to the driver's side you couldn't even get your hand between the mattress and the sidewall to change the sheet. Not to mention the bed is 5" shorter than a standard queen.
As posted, we have a V10 and it runs very well. When looking at the 33D, there was a 32VS parked next to it. We really liked it and after shopping for a DP, we might just stick to gas and a 32VS will be it....
