Our 'New' 2016 View

Just returned to the upper left corner from AZ. Where I picked up our 2016 View 24V. One owner, 12k miles (now 13.7k). Love it!
A huge upgrade from our 7ft truck camper. Looking forward to all the space and comfort. Many upgrades on the list already and more added daily as I read the forums. Original owner didn't make a single mod other than the sat dish on the roof.
We'll stick close to home this summer and plan our first big trip for 2020.
Regards, Mike, Amy and Maizy

I lurked and browsed for years while renting and shopping to buy. Excellent resources and people available on this site.

You will find enthusiasts for every variant of the RV lifestyle and every price point.

Very nice rig!! :)

We picked up our 2016 View J two years ago. Only 2500 miles and now has 45K. Runs great and can park anywhere.

I have made three main changes:

150 watts solar from Renogy Solar
Switched my 12 volt batteries to two 6 volt golf cart batteries. Much longer charge when not connected to power.

Also swapped out the rear stabilizer for a Helwig, easy to put on, took about 35 minutes. Remember to lube very well.


Great rig!

Thanks for the kind words everyone

We looked for this coach for months and passed up a few that were just not quite right and all were a long ways from us. This one was only 1700 miles away!
Already had it in for the latest MB airbag recall. And now am ordering up a pile of stuff to complete the move from our tiny camper. Sumos, Helwig and probably shocks will be the first major upgrades.
Then LiPo batteries and another solar panel (already have one on the roof and a portable 120w).
We tend to keep cars, boats and campers for a long time so this will be an ongoing project.
Regards to all, Mike
