When we first went FT, we bought a new Thor Ace. We had so many problems and Thor customer service didn't seem to care. We finally stopped our trip and drove all the way back to Florida from MA. The dealership tried to fix everything but the shoddy workmanship from Thor caused things to keep breaking. We traded it in after only 4 months for a Winnebago Vista LX 35F. What a difference!! The workmanship was so much better and customer service took care of any issues we had which were all minor. We had peace of mind knowing our new RV worked as it should and if it didn't we had a company who cared about our satisfaction. We love the floor plan, so much space, so much storage. We love the Vista LX!! We highly recommend it!! Show less

Let's start with acknowledging that this was my very first RV and I had very limited driving experience and zero with owning an RV. I did my research and determine that the class A would be our best. We had just sold everything we owned and we were now going to be full time RVers. After looking at everything from fixer uppers to almost like new, we could easily see the quality difference in the Winnebago Vista LX. We looked at cabinets, door hinges, floor plan and ease of use. By far, it was the best. We have now had our Vista for almost 3 years and still love it. Being in the automotive business all my life, we did some things right away. The RV only had 18,00 miles on it when we purchased it, but I put all new Koni shocks on and steer stabilizer. For a newbie, it drove great. I also had 3 part fuel injection service done (gas engine) and use Amsoil . I do have an advantage over some owners. I'm mechanically inclined so prefer to fix things myself. I suspect that the major frustration owners have is dealing with the service dept. at any dealer. Competent mechanics are few and far between. I owned a shop for 1/2 my life and can fix most minor problems. Overall we are thrilled with our Vista LX and for a small RV, it has one of the best floor plans we have seen. Show less
