Reflections on 6 Months of RV Research! ;)
Hi Class C Forum, I caught the RV bug about 6 months ago after a particularly stressful stretch at work. Researching RVs has become the way that I decompress when I have some discretionary time. Cu...

Does the 2015 Villagio have a full fiberglass roof or does it just have fiberglass TPO front / end caps with TPO in between?

Hi Dean. I took some time to review what I could on the Villagio RVs on line this morning. My biggest concern, and also a red flag for me, is that on their specs. page there is no mention of OCCC, wet weight, dry weight, or anything that would permit a guestimation of the OCCC. You noted on your first post, that you might/will be traveling with DW and 2 teen-aged daughters. Having the same family make-up, let me assure you that they will bring more stuff on trips than you might think. So, plan on weight. That means you need to have the OCCC to carry your family and all of your stuff (more weight). So, whatever unit you are checking out, make sure the chassis, axles, and tires can handle your weight needs. Keep in mind that goodies like slide-outs, leveling jacks, and dealer installed options all subtract from OCCC. Don't expect a sales rep to know or provide this info. Look for the official stickers inside the unit somewhere. I've also noted that you might travel this summer to check out more units. If you have the time, you might consider the largest RV show in the country that happens in Hershey PA, about mid-September. Every type of RV from tear-drop TTs to the big Class As are represented. Best wishes for a successful search.
