Our Winnie Class C remodeled for two
In 2010 we decided we wanted to change the way we traveled by RV so we in 2011 we sold our 30’ two slide Winnebago and the Jeep GC we always towed. We purchased a used 19 1/2’ Pleasure-Way Class B and did many extended trips in it for over the 18 months we owned it. We really liked the small MH the way it drove, but it was just too small for us.
July 2012 we wanted something a little bigger, and decided Winnebago’s model 24V class C like the Minnie, Outlook, Spirit & Chalet floor plan would work for the way we wanted to remodel it into a Winnie for two. Two good things about the 24V plan is a flat floor under the dinette or optional couch and a RV queen corner bed. We found a private party that had a 2006 Winnebago Chalet 24VR for sale and purchased it.
Since purchasing it we have removed and replaced the following: The small swivel chair by entry door under TV cabinet taken out and replaced with a small oak storage cabinet with a wall mounted 29” LED HDTV. DVD/VCR and added shelves in the old TV cabinet. Existing vinyl flooring covered with new carpet except at bathroom area. Large dinette removed and replaced with two La-z-boy rocker recliners and some new paneling to cover the holes on the wall from removing the dinette. We made a small table that we set up in front of our chairs for eating and card playing. Removed the bathroom door and replaced it with privacy curtain. Since completing the remodel we have been on many extended trips and have found it is working out great for us.
The chairs are not fastened down, I use a combination of seat belts and ratchet tie down straps when we travel. We did this when we replaced the couch with La-z-boy chairs in our 30' Winnie and had no problems as long as no one uses them when we traveled. The up front area is a normal class C cab-over bed. We removed the mattress installed plastic storage containers and moved the privacy curtain forward so it covers things we have stored up there. Everything we took out is in storage in our RV garage just incase I want to sell it and the buyer wants it back to it original condition. Last July we purchased a new CR-V that we now are towing.
That’s the story of Dick & Ellen’s Winnie for two.
