2016 Itasca Viva has been great. The people that can sleep in it is great. 4 seatbelts for passengers and two seatbelts in the front. The gas mileage is good. We get around 15 mpg. Easy to park on the road. Looking for camp site is easy, since it's only 24 ft. Lots of storage inside the cabin and outside. The shower is quite spacious. Lots of LED lights. Has 2 tv's. Microwave, refrigerator and freezer, propane stove, roof air conditioner / heater, sound system. Went to Oregon coast, and stayed at Beverley Beach, amazingly we got more than 7 channels using just the tv antenna that's on board. Used DVD movies and the sound was great. The only concern I have is, the LED lights on the ceiling keeps burning out. So I have spare ones handy to replace it every time it needs changing. It would have been nice to have a spare tire. I guess you can have it installed separately as I've seen photos of some that has it. Yes the brake squeals. That's minor for me. As for the engine, I don't have any concerns. No breakdowns so far. The back up camera gives like a cob web image at night, still you can see what's behind you, fine in the daytime. Overall the unit is very practical and the value for me is reasonable. Not too expensive to buy, compared to a MB. Show less

For its size, this is a great motorhome that gets fantastic fuel economy on regular unleaded gasoline, averaging 14.5 miles per gallon. The Trend/Viva drives and handles really well, using front wheel drive to pass over all kinds of surfaces, even on the steep mountain grades of Colorado, and you will have no problems passing through cities and even parking. I've had no problems parking in shopping mall and grocery parking lots. Small enough to go almost anywhere, but roomy enough to live in as a full-timer. And being a Winnebago product, the quality of the product shows itself as you pass mile after carefree mile on the road. Show less

This coach worked very well for my wife & I, we did three big trips, east, west & north, the coach drives wonderful, gets great gas mileage we could get into camp sites very easy, and park where cars park, we have everything in the coach to make living wonderful, stand up shower, good capacities of water, and waste tanks, great refrigerator and freezer, can go a couple of weeks with grocery's with all of the storage and freezer. When we had guests for overnight, the electric operated overhead bed is perfect for sleeping, if needed we could sleep two more where the dinette table is, this model Viva has exceeded all of our expectations. With the great gas mileage it very economical to own and operate. Show less

We bought a 2014 Itasca Viva from a dealer in Ontario. We had nothing but problems with it, since the day we picked it up. We took it back to the factory in Iowa with a list of 40+ items to be fixed, including, but not limited to: Hot & cold taps backward, furnace didn't work, bed fell apart, bathroom door wouldn't close, on & on. The quality of workmanship is terrible. We thought Winnebago was top of the line & Itasca was their best. NOT. It has been back & forth from the Winnebago dealer to the Chrysler dealer several times, because it developed a wobble at @ 30mph & neither can figure out the problem & each blames the other. Chrysler said it was a drive shaft (it is front wheel drive), or maybe from the weight distribution of the coach. The final answer was that Winnebago says it is the liquid in the tanks. There is no way an RV owner would be able to travel with tanks totally empty. It is unrealistic to expect us to empty it in the desert or on the beach, before we return home. We tried to deal with the dealer to trade this lemon in, but they basicly told us they didn't want to deal with us. Show less

Very roomy & spacious inside. Floor plan 23B is the best layout for this type of RV. Great gas mileage. Show less
