2006 Winnebago, Itasca reviews

This is our 3rd RV and is definitely the best floor plan. We love the large back bathroom and the huge closet. There is also a lot of drawer space, which is great when spending an extended amount of time camping. We spent 5 weeks in Florida living in our RV and loved every moment. The bed is large and surprisingly comfortable. Show less

We have owned our. 2006 for 9 years and have put about 30,000 mile on it. Very well built and dependable . Great mileage and easy to drive, the Mercedes chassis makes it a dream to maneuver. Very well designed. I highly recommend this model as it is the last year Mercedes made them with the smaller turbo engine. Show less

I bought mine sight-unseen in the winter of 2009 during the financial crisis. eBay said "you've won!" and I instantly had heartburn. But it turned out better than I could have ever hoped. I got a helluva deal and enjoyed it for 9 years. Typical Winnebago (RV industry) quality. I was forced to become an RV technician, but willingly. Youtube is an amazing teacher. Previous owners (for nearly 3 years) had fixed any initial issues. I was able to fix Mercedes input air sensor issue, and other small ones. The converted couch bed was really not acceptable for my wife and I. Just too small. Even after getting a topper. In 2025 I can look back and say it was a great RV. Show less

I previously owned a Class B RV and have rented several Class C models. The Winnebago Aspect has been the best overall RV experience. My usage has generally been traveling with one other person plus my 50lb best friend. The Aspect handles the road conditions like a dream and has plenty of power for mountain passes. The layout for the galley and food prep counter space is better than any other Class C in this size range. The head has plenty of room and the queen bed provides all the support and room for a tall person. The rig has been exceptionally reliable and parts, wiring diagrams and other support from Winnebago's website is top-notch. Show less

We have owned ours for 6 yrs. It is well made. Real cabinets! No particle board and paper. The floor plan is very livable and homelike. We tow a pickup with 2 motorcycles in the bed easily with the Vortec and Allison tranny. I would highly recommend this make and model to anyone who wants to travel and be comfortable. Show less

The 2006 Itasca Ellipse is an outstanding RV built by Winnebago. For weekend trips or months long journeys, it is very comfortable to drive and a pleasure to live in. The Ellipse has all the creature comforts of home. Two led tv’s, DVD player, additional HDMI connection, outside entertainment center, surround sound, stereo and Bluetooth adapter. Leather recliner and J couch, king size bed, walk in shower and full bathroom. With a convection microwave and propane burners it’s easy to cook in. There’s plenty of storage inside and below. Pre DEF. Overall a wonderful full-size motor home. Show less

Awesome! I love the 2006 View J configuration! The View is a short 24ft so it is extremely easy to drive and maneuver, even in the forest and mountains. However, the slide-out makes the interior feel quite spacious...feels more like a micro apartment than a camper van. I love the 23J layout. Everything is easy to access and just the right size. I don't feel like any space is wasted, but it still feels very "open" compared to other RVs of this size. The exterior compartments are very easy to access and surprisingly big. I love that the main storage area can fit my bike when I fold the rear bed up, so I dont need to mess with getting a bike trailer hitch. The carpet is a pretty deep shag, so it may be get a little gross after being used for many years; I would look for one with new flooring installed or thoroughly clean the carpet before use. The Mercedes Diesel Sprinter Van chassis is extremely easy to service due to its wild popularity. I wanted to replace a belt once that was old and started squeaking... everyone knows the machinery very well and parts are easy to find. The mechanicals have been extremely reliable (probably why its so popular!) Show less

This camper has just simply been superb. The low miles certainly contribute as it still feels factory new even though it's 16 years old. Guess that's a result of build-quality AND excellent owner's care/maintenance. 12,000 miles of trouble-free service have given the two us many smiles. I can't say enough positive things about this RV. Show less

Great rv; fully maintained March 2022, excellent condition, first owner 15 years, second owner only drive. 5000 miles, selling for personal health reasons. See description of all the upgrades. Fully operational. Show less

Brought a used winnebago sightseer 29R and drove it 7,000 miles going southwest to east coast and back home to Nevada. It handled like a dream. Good in all campsites. Towed a scooter on the back. Lots of space for up to six people. Tons of storage. This was an overall great buy for us and a great motorhome on the road. Gas mileage was good also. Show less
