Finally saw the Winnebago Travato
I finally got to see the Winnebago Travato yesterday at the Des Moines RV show. I found it very interesting and I personally think they have a homerun for a very specific market. Interestingly, and ...

Thank you! Of course we jumped right out there and used it right away! This is our findings so far...
Easy to go anywhere in it. The size is great. Easy to park and parallel park.
Happy with gas mileage
Our family has 2 adults and one 8 year old child. It is the perfect size. It would be too small for a family larger than that.
Each of the two bed options are comfortable. The rear bed sleeps north to south. Easy to crawl out the bottom without disturbing other person.
Shower and bathroom are a great size
We are first time RV-ers. This is a great coach for a first timer. Everything is very easy to use and figure out.
Pleased with the storage space.
We live close to the beach, we are into kitesurfing. Great cargo for all of the gear. The rear of the coach has a water hose to wash feet and beach items.
Really like the outdoor speakers
Fridge is a super size
Great storage for a small coach
Great size, easy to use awning with led lights
Dumping grey and black water tanks is very simple. It is a little odd that the pump button to dump the tanks is in the back, but it doesn't bother us. You can hear when the tanks are empty.
Happy with overall city and highway driving performance. It was between the Travato and the ERA. The Travato felt a little more sturdy. It was much quieter on the highway with wind noise and quieter on bumps.
So far we love it and recommend it. The only con we have come across is the dinette table. It is easy to fold into the second bed, but the table is flimsy. We wish it was a little more sturdy. If you touch it it wobbles. It is also a low table. We are not big people and we make it with our legs under the table, but it would be nice if it were a few inches higher. Some have complained about the dinette seat being uncomfortable, we haven't found that. It is also an option to fold the table down, and move the cushion to make it into a chaise lounge option . I would do that if I were an adult sitting there on a long trip.
The table was the only con we have found and it doesn't really bother us.
Others have complained about the water tank location with the seat on top where the sliding door is. That doesn't get in our way and it works as a comfy ottoman for our feet when the front seats are swiveled back.
If anyone is interested in this coach, I recommend two things. First, get the optional screen door. It's fantastic and keeps bugs out of the coach. You can keep the sliding door open and use the screen. It is a cheap option, it was $200 and change. The second recommendation is this coach does not have a spare tire. Winnebago sells a tire protection plan. If you get a flat, you call the 800 number and they bring you a new tire and fix it all up right there. We bought the extended warranty and the tire protection plan.
Hope this helps!
