Feedback on 2015 Winnebago Vista 35F
We are in the process of moving up from a Class C with bunks to a Class A. This will be our 2nd RV and we are still pretty new to RVing and certainly new to buying an RV. I've seen great feedback on...

Thanks for all the feedback! I agree that it seems floor plan is the key. If anyone has ideas of other floorplans or models that could work for regularly sleeping a family of 4 adults -- I'd love to hear your ideas. Finding a Class A that comfortably sleeps 4 adults on a regular basis seems a bit harder than I hoped. I think this floor plan could address that. I read some comments about the bunk being narrower than a twin - so we need to do a test nap with an adult up there. We like to watch a movie together in the evenings -- so this floor plan makes those family bonding times more comfortable.
blknomad. The monitor for the cameras and the handling are my personal concerns. The class A on the ford chassis seemed to ride smoother than in our Greyhawk which is a Class C on ford chassis. Perhaps the "cheap handling fix" will give us a bit more. We never did that on our Class C. Do you find it loud in the front? This one seemed a little noisier than another class A I drove. However, it is quieter than our Class C.
Effy - On the towing -- we do want to tow but our current cars are too heavy to tow. We are waiting to either have our 15 year old get a car that is towable or my husband is about ready to trade his in. That said -- we do things like have my husband drive all the boys to boy scout camp and then meet up with my other son and I to go camping while the boys camp. It has been a fun way to get to see some different areas. Personally, I'd love for us to get the towing figured out. I like playing navigator better.
On the L shaped J couch. My 15 year old loves it because it is large, soft and pulls out. It has that higher backside cushion when pulled out - but it seems like it would work well for a single person to sleep. Don't know that I would want to sleep on that as a couple. Has anyone found it is too soft and gets uncomfortable over time?
jfskeet - The interior storage is definitely something I am thinking through. We have thought about giving up the oven for a couple more drawers. I think there is enough space in the master closet area for 4 people's clothes. Teenage boys seem to only want to wear one outfit anyway. :-) We are also giving up a little more storage by having the drop down bunk. How have you made the interior storage work?
I really appreciate the perspective. Seems like I can't go wrong with a Winnebago -- as long as we can find enough room for the people we carry regularly. We definitely don't want to get another class C and are both terrified of pulling a trailer.
Thanks,
