99 36' Winnebago Chieftain

This is our first entry into the world of RV'ing. We will be taking it on a 400 mile circular route shake down cruise starting Sunday. Both the interior and exterior are immaculate. We are really thrilled about beginning this phase of our life.
I got the impression from other posts that showing pictures is appreciated. Here you go!

Thanks everyone. With the exception of some wear on the recliner fabric and some light carpet stain the thing is totally unmarred. We got it through a consignment dealer so I'm left to wonder why it was used so sparingly.

Enjoy! We spent a lot of time considering that unit (but on the freightliner chassis) before purchasing our current coach.

Looks real good, well maintained. Not supprised it was sparingly used there are allot of those low miliage rigs out there just need to look around. We bought ours in 2012 and it is a 2005 8.1 gas SunVoyager which had just 22K on the clock but was not as well maintained as your's appears to be. However we are working on getting it back up annually. Winter living in it at the moment going on 3rd week now but moving back in the house at the weekend. Good Luck, Happy Trails!
