Itasca Class A - Diesel reviews

We lived in it for a year, and it is so spacious, espcially with the high ceilings and 4 slides. Our motorhome has a custom built retractable patio, so in the mornigs you can grab your coffee and walk right out onto the patio without going down the stairs onto the ground, (which is often wet from the Houston rain). Great layout with a large couch and small dining area lots of room to move around, a full size fridge, with ice-maker, even with using the gas stove daily we never ran out of the 31 Gal of propane. It has a 50" TV at the electric multi-color fireplace which puts out plenty of heat. The bathroom is compact but plenty big to clean up and get ready for the day. It has a very compfortable bed with adjustable base for sitting up, raising your feet, and even masage. The outside compartments are attached to the slides so you dont have to crawl under the slides, (except for the patio area) With 400HP it has plenty of power to climb hills and get up to speed with ease, and the 2 stage engine brake make downhill easy to maintain a safe speed. Great rig... Show less

It was a delightful way to see the country, visit friends and relatives, relax for a weekend or a couple weeks, or even just to drive! It had all the power we ever needed, even going up the Grapevine on I-5 near LA, the Siskyous in norther CA, or the grades we encountered in the Rockies. We were fully loaded and towing a mid-size car. We had our own space when it was just the two of us, and had room for friends to join us. The refrigerator was bigger than the residential refrigerator we sold when we hit the road. The backup camera and maneuverability made it easy to park, even in parks with narrow roads, narrow sites, and with obstacles limiting options. My wife even liked driving it on the highway! One time when I was away and the lake started flooding, she even moved it to another site! If she could still do steps, we would NOT be selling it. It breaks our hearts to part with it. Show less

This review would pertain to Itasca Reyo 25T and Winnebago Via 25T which are identical except in name. Ours is a 2012, so some of the negatives would be due to age. The Itasca's were made through the 2016 model year and the Winnebago's through 2018. The house portion consisting of seating area, galley, bathroom and bedroom are made by Winnebago. The Sprinter 3500 dually chassis which is 25' 6" long and 11030 pounds, the turbo-diesel engine and cab are made by Mercedes-Benz. Almost any maintenance and repairs of the Mercedes-Benz portion are expensive. Mechanical failures in the 4 1/2 years we've owned it have been the cab A/C, DEF system, Nox sensors, windshield wiper system, Macpherson struts, electronic steps, chassis battery (twice) and although they haven't failed yet, we read many of these RV's are having problems with wheel sensors. Driving the RV is good except the chassis wobbles over uneven surfaces. To fix this problem with stabilizers presents problems with becoming overweight. So, we live with it rather than being overweight. Truly, the expense and failure rate of the mechanical parts make us regret our purchase although the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis is highly desired by many RVers. Being a small Class A body type, visibility from the cab is excellent. The Winnebago house portion is very good although with some design flaws in our opinion. The cabin captain's chairs fully rotate integrating them with the sofa for a great living room that accommodates 4 people. The OEM table is ridiculously heavy and we've replaced it with more versatile TV tables that can also be used outside. The TV in the living area is on a slide mechanism that is very useful! Unfortunately, the sofa (which is on the only slide) can't be turned into a bed because the round sink area extends too far into the living area from the galley area. This means that this RV can sleep only 2. There is storage under the sofa instead. (The rounded sink was removed in the 2017-2018 Via's, and a sofa bed was added increasing sleeping capacity to 4 in those two years.) The galley has the aforementioned sink, two-burner propane stove, convection microwave and excellent 3-way refrigerator. The negative is the poor quality laminate counter tops which are also in the bathroom. The bedroom has two narrow twin beds. Too narrow for us and we fixed this by making the entire bedroom area into a permanent king bed! There is also a small TV in the bedroom. The bathroom is adequate and has a Fantastic Fan. Storage inside and out is very good! There is an upgraded Cummins diesel generator (propane is standard.) However, there have been two expensive generator failures - motherboard and sensor which have totaled $1600. Our Reyo comes equiped with a driver's door which is very useful! When the driver's door is not optioned it is usually replaced by an electronic bed over the cab chairs which is good too. Parking, whether in a campground or parking lot is easy. The unit takes up less than 2 regular parking spots. Show less

We have owned this RV for 6 years. Every year, we drive it to Estero Florida and stay for 3 months. It is extremely easy to drive and gets an average of 7 miles per gallon. Westay in Walmart parking lots on the way down and the generator provides for our electric needs. When we reach our destination and hook up to water and electric, we put the slides out and set up the patio. Its like having our own comfortable two room apartment. Husband can watch his programs in the bedroom while I watch mine in the living room. When guests come, they have their own queen sized bed and the bathroom can be opened to the bedroom side or the living room side. The refrigerator is large enough for everything from my home and the kitchen has an island for lots of counter space. There is so much storage in the rv that we can pack anything we fancy, including bikes. The interior has all been redone and the exterior is in great shape. The buyer for this motorhome won't ever regret it! Show less

We spent four years living in "The Beast." We traveled completely around the Lower 48 two times - we have kids and grand kids on both coasts. We only added a state our "travel map" if we spent the night there. We only missed 10 states - although we drove across many of them! We also took one summer and spent three months in Alaska - what a drive. Check out www.classaboomers.blogspot.com 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

Bought our 2014 itasca meridian used with 15,000 miles. Have had it for over a year now and put about 6,000 miles on it. When we first bought the coach, I had to fix some minor issues, outside porch light and some small interior decorative work. I know a year of ownership and 6000 miles is not much but the coach has performed flawlessly. Rides great and everything has worked well. The interior appears to be build very sturdy and feels like you are in a tough and well built coach. We had the yellow “ check engine “ light come on, the fright liner information display immediately gave me the fault code, quick google search revealed it’s the EGR sensor, nothing serious or immediate to worry about. If you are in the market for a used coach and can find a nice itasca meridian, judging from my experience, buy it. One last thing. The split bathroom plan, toilet and sink in one room and shower and sink in the other room sucks. They are both very small, that’s the only drawback to this coach. So I gave it a 3 in livability.

Viewed this coach at the dealership. Many issues made us skeptical of buying . Front was severely worn requiring refinish. All slide-out rubber was worn and on a couple hanging loose. All tires need to be replaced. King bed not functional . Appears as though this coach was lived in with out normal maintenance. Salesman was unaware of location of house batteries and we did not see them. These issues were obvious may be more with closer look. Show less

This RV is beautiful, runs like new and has so much room. Feels more like home than any other RV we've been in. Plenty of storage and the hardwood floors are awesome, easy clean up and great for allergies. Plenty of bells and whistles. Show less
