2006 Winnebago Sightseer 30b

I saw an older post re someone looking at this same year and model. My husband and I are looking currently at one. Any thoughts or issues from anyone that may have one?

Thanks and looking to be camping soon!
  • Thanks for all the info. I have been making a list of things we need to go back and look at and ask questions. This has been very helpful!
  • We have a 2008 30B Sunova bought new. Love the layout but note the Winnie & others have a real windshield frame rust problem that can be very costly to fix. I suggest looking under the rubber moldings.
  • We have owned a 2009 Chalet 35 JR (same as Sightseer) for a little over a year. It is a good, basic unit. We have traveled about 7000 miles in it and have enjoyed the experience. Some areas we had to address are:
    1. At times, the slides did not go in and out easily
    2. The tires needed replacing
    3. The fabric on our awning and toppers needed replacing.

    It is only rated for towing 5000lbs which isn't a problem for us.
    Ours is 30amp with 2 coach batteries which impacts our electrical usage.
