We bought this motorhome new in 2019 after several months of online research and going to dealers and RV shows. We felt that it had a very livable floor plan, with a full-length slide on the drivers side. The relatively short length (30'3") made it easy to get around almost any campground, and being only 12'2" tall made it possible to get under many bridges and tree limbs. It has the 50 amp package, which allows for two rooftop 15,000 BTU air conditioners, and has a 5500W Onan gas generator.
When the slide is in, there is easy access to the bed, bathroom and refrigerator, which meant stops for lunch or overnighting at Walmart or Cracker Barrel were handled easily. I'm 6'4" tall, and found plenty of headroom in the coach, on the toilet and in the shower. The RV refrigerator was large enough for our needs, although the freezer was a little tight, but still OK.
Storage in the basement was very good- we had plenty of room for anything we wanted to bring. Myself, my wife and our two large dogs totaled about 600lbs, and towing our CR-V added 500lbs of tongue weight- however, the cargo carrying capcity of 2002 lbs meant we could still bring 900 lbs of stuff with us, which was more than enough.
This coach has the Ford V10 gas engine on a F53 chassis. When it comes to towing, we barely noticed that we were pulling our Honda CR-V (flat-towed). We had no problem with mountain passes, going up or down. The tow/haul feature on the engine really helped with hills and mountains, and with braking in traffic or coming down an exit ramp off a highway.
It has an automated leveling system, an onboard LP gas canister, a gas water heater, an RV referigerator, an outdoor TV and kitchen w/sink and 'frig, rear and side cameras, a powered Euroloft bed in the cab, a sofa that opens out to a bed and a dinette that converts into a bed as well.
As far as quality goes, the cabinetry is very good quality, the rest of the decor is also nice- better than most RVs we had looked at but not luxurious. It's a typical RV- that means with time things need some work/replacement. During the 6 years we've owned this, we've traveled 36,000 miles as we visited 45 states and 9 Canadian provinces. We've replaced a water pump, the step motor, the carburetor on the generator, the windshield (by the Winnebago factory, due to cracks from rocks thrown up by trucks), the tires (new Goodyears in May 2023, only have ~5,000 miles on them) and a leaky valve in the cooling system of the Ford engine. The awning broke in a sudden rainstorm shortly after we bought the unit, and that was repaired under warranty by Camping World, so its as good as new. Since we've driven it out to the middle of nowhere at times, we've always performed the recommend maintenance at the recommend intervals so that we wouldn't have a problem when away from civilization.
