This is my second 2022 Winnebago View 24D review. I have driven it over 4,000 miles and stayed on and off-grid and been in many different weather and driving conditions and thought I would share what I like, don't like and suggest for the View, either for new buyers or the manufacturer. I am happy to answer questions about the unit, my experience in buying, driving and maintaining the unit for you.

Great review Jeff! Thank you. Just sharing a few tips that work for me. Quick tips: - Door: Use a bungee cord to stop door from flapping if windy. Clip it on the door handle & dog lease located under passenger door. - Bathroom Door: Cut a small piece of pool noodle; then slice one side of it & slide between bathroom door panel & wall to stop rattle. It works so well! This would replace the tissue & foam you installed. - Kitchen Sink Hose: Cut a small piece of pool noodle; then slice one side of it to wrap around faucet hose to stop the knocking while driving. A container underneath the sink to hold your contents also stops the hose from knocking on wall. The pool noodle works wonders for rattles ;) - Window Shade Near Table: Use velcro command strips on wall & main shade to stop it from knocking while driving. - Frig..: Pool noodles help to keep frig. open during winterization or non use. 😎

When we shopped for a small motorhome for fulltime use 8 years ago we studied the Navion/View (a fine RV) but opted for a slightly different Winnebago product, the Via/Reyo. 25'5", Mercedes Sprinter chassis, turbo-diesel engine, with better storage outside and inside, a similar long slide, power Flexsteel seats (no silly butt cushion riser), similarly modest CCC, same 14-15mpg towing a small car. Ours is a 2011 Itasca Reyo 25R (open floor plan and rear bath like yours), now with 105k miles. The Via/Reyo is no longer made but a great buy used. While no RV is perfect, the 25R layout utilizes space better than any other small motorhome we've encountered, allowing upgrades like a 43" TV, a 1.5 cu ft microwave/convection/air fryer oven and a larger coil spring mattress. No we're not selling ours!

I have a 2006 and have none of those problems. But I have design issues. For one I would have liked to have had a wet bath instead of a dry one. In my opinion there isn't enough room for a separate shower and toilet. As to the refer, I found if you just leave the door open about an inch while in storage it won't mold. Very good honest review. Thanks. I was always wondering about the new ones, but this makes me feel better about my old View.

Nailed it. That faucet counter weight is heavy and makes a lot of noise. Not sure that it's even necessary at all. For the sliding door to the bathroom, try to find a piano tuner supply. They have these awesome, triangular, rubber wedges of all kinds of sizes. That's what I've got wedged in our sliding door. But, yes, that sliding door is a ba-had design.
@allwrong3114
@allwrong3114 2 года назад
Thanks Jeff! Practical fixes for little things the designers overlook. My wife and I are looking at the 24D but I have two major hang ups: 1. The genset and exhaust are on the wrong side of the coach. Really bad planning. The patio side of the coach should not be polluted with genset exhaust and noise. 2. The cargo doors should swing out as opposed to lifting up for easier access. Other than those complaints and the issues you brought up, it seems to be a nice rig. Unfortunately the location of the genset and the lift up doors will push us to another brand. Dynamax Isata 3 seems to be the choice for us at the moment. Unless Winnebago makes some common sense changes. Thanks Jeff! Happy motoring!

In bathroom door go to Home Depot or Lowe’s and get self sticking felt pads and stick on both sides of door. Check your roof frequently and make sure no cracks in caulking, etc. Make sure all screws are also caulked.
@recordingmastering
@recordingmastering 2 года назад
I'm surprised that in 2021, they have not found a better way to seal the roof other than gobs & gobs of self-leveling caulk that might be applied well or not. The person who did ours cleaned the gun on the cab over paint.

Great video. We are looking at this model, and can the refrigerator door be opened when 1) the slide is in, and 2) when the slide is out and the Murphy bed is opened? Also how is the ride when sitting at the dinette? We have test driven other Sprinter based RVs and found them to sway like a boat and ride rough on any seat past the driver/passenger.
@jeffwells4974

I have put 6,000 miles on the unit now, not with a lot of weight and not pulling anything other than the Gearspace box on the back. With that said, my average is 13.8 and has gone up to 15.2 and down to 8.5 if you are in elevation climbs in the mountains (Teton National Park, Glacier, etc). I think that my 13.8 would be pretty normal. You do go through a lot of DEF.

It had it but it was a bear to run cables through it because of where it comes out inside....if they installed a prewire to attach cables to would have made a world of difference to pull new cables from....easy to do and would have resolved the issues I experienced.
