Now days you can also look at the short class A's like the Winnebago Vista, or Itasca Sunstar. Also the new Thor Axis or Vegas are all in the 24-27 foot range. Much roomier inside than the the typical class C.

100% agreement. The short Winnebago Class As are awesome!

You cannot beat the Winnebago brand of motorhome for any number of great reasons.

*Value - they give you more selection and standard equipment than some of the priciest brands even offer - all, at a value price. Not at an inflated one.

*Price - You get more for your dollar.

*Dealer availability - They have an unmatched network of independent dealers Nationwide, conveniently located almost everywhere.

*Longevity & Confidence - Winnebago boasts the longest track record of any motorhome manufacturer in the industry. They're NOT going out-of-business, as some of the Mom and Pop shops did during any number of bubbles OR recessions since the mid-1960s.

*Class Cs - They have a larger selection of Class Cs than any two or three other Class C manufacturers combined.

*Parts - Getting replacement parts for your coach as it ages is never a problem. Winnebago can go back many years in providing accurate parts replacements.

I've been looking at WGO products, and to add to that list, they provide a few things as well, I might add:

1: Wiring and plumbing diagrams. I've seen some other brand class Cs which locate switches and such where the installer feels like it. Winnebago can get me the schematics on how exactly everything is wired up, as well as plumbing. This way, should I want to tee off from the hot water line and make a hydronic system to keep the external storage compartments warm (with the warmed water winding up back in the FW tank), this is easy to do.

2: I -think- warranty service depots might be easier to find, because CW sells Itasca models.

3: I've harped on this before, but after seeing how older (80-90s) trailers can remain solid while newer ones with rubber roofs end up having to go to the scrapyard, the fact that Winnebago uses fiberglass roofs on all their motorhomes is a seller with me.

4: I don't read many horror stories about Winnebago rigs. Nobody is perfect, but when scanning the forums, it usually is another brand that has some issue.

5: I wouldn't say Winnebago is 100% stable, but they managed to make it through 2008, which is a major feather in their cap.

6: If one watches YouTube, the "Winnebago Man" is one of the absolute best spokespeople I've ever heard in the RV industry.

I wouldn't say Winnebago is the only brand, as Nexus RV, Lazy Daze, Coach House, and other premium brands also have these features, but a MH is an expensive thing to buy, so might as well buy from a known good company.
