I have a '07 View H on a '06 Chassis, which is the same as what you are looking at. I bought at the end of September last year and I have spent all winter working on it and still have a couple of things to go. It has just over 18K miles on it and is rather clean, but still have lots of issues. Winnebago did nothing to control rust or corrosion on their parts, so you will find brackets underneath that are half rusted away, common complaint that WBO apparently doesn't attempt to address even now. The Sprinter is quirky and you MUST learn the MB specs for fluids and lubricants, and understand that the transmission on the 5 cyl is a very weak link in the vehicle. Do complete fluid changes, including the converter every 20K miles or so and add a cooler to it, and possibly a trans temp gauge. Use only fluid meeting the MB specs (there are only two or three different fluids available in this country for it.) I'm an aircraft mechanic by trade, and do all of my own work. This thing has been an eye opener.
