I am also looking for a short class C. Everyone has their own priorities and needs, all I can say is how I would evaluate this unit.
You are smart to ask if someone else has this floor plan. Winnebago does many things right, but I have found them unacceptable when looking for shorter, so called "entry level" class A or C units.
1. This unit has a wheelbase/length ratio of .49. Most people want something near 55 or higher. If you buy this you will be back on the forum soon asking how to improve the loose frontend handling.
2. It is on the Chevy 3500 chassis (GVWR 12,300), it should be on the Chevy 4500 (14,200). The only thing worse than a bad wheelbase/length ratio is a bad wheelbase/length ratio on an overloaded chassis.
3. I cannot determine the roof design of this unit, but it may have a flat roof like the Winnebago Access line. I would rather have a crowned TPO roof than a flat fiberglass roof.
They may not have this floorplan but if you want to solve these problems and get composite sidewalls, take a look at Forest River or Coachmen.
