2016 Winnebago 33C Limited Access

Hi.

We have purchased a 2016 Winnebago Sightseer 33C. We saw our new coach at our dealer yesterday, shortly after it arrived. The dealer has to install some aftermarket items and prep the coach so our coach will not be ready until next week.

This is the first time we have seen a 33C with the slides in and there is very little room to move from the door to the driver’s seat. There is about six inches between the recliner and the kitchen cabinet.

How has other 33C owners dealt with restricted access to the ****pit?

Thanks. Safe travels. JD

    It's not an answer I know. We have been looking for a class A but we won't buy one if curtain things aren't as we want.


    What kind of curtains?
  • We have a 33C 2012. Same layout. We removed the little recliner and the couch. Both were terribly uncomfortable. We put in 2 recliners in the space of the couch and the space where the recliner was is virtually open. When we stop we have a little table that we put there. When we travel we turn the recliners both facing the front of the rv. They take up much less room that the couch and recliner from the factory when turned. Lots of room to maneuver

    Thanks. We haven't had a chance to play with it yet. In a PM someone suggested turning the recliner sideways. While getting our first look I quickly loosened the recliner and moved it closer to the wall. That provided easier access. Perhaps when the slides are extended it will allow better positioning of the recliner for travel.

    Thanks for all response. I see that I can't talk about c o c k p it s on this site. Others have made me laughs. JD

    Great response! Most respectful way to neutralize a troll I've seen in a while. ;)
  • Sorry I don't have a direct answer. IMO it's a worthwhile point to observe the value of checking the floor plan slides in and out. Newbies reading need that info.

    What I can't figure is K Charles hangup about curtains. :D

    Isn't autocorrect and autocensor wonderful!
  • Hi.

    We didn't buy without looking. We looked at Winnebago 33Cs and Itasca 33Cs. We looked at them on dealers lots and at RV shows. And, of course, the slides were always out. My error was that I didn't have the dealers close the slides. If I had seen a coach with the slides closed the only difference would be I would have already asked this question.

    We love the coach and the layout. Obviously a lot of other people like it as well because Winnebago has sold a lot of them.

    Our previous Sightseer 29R had great access. This one is tight but that doesn't mean that it is necessarily something that would have changed my decision to buy. I'm looking for 33C owners that may know a trick or two.
