Unless they were bought with different options, the difference is basically exterior and exterior decor: colors, patterns. In the years I was shopping, the Winnebago brand tended toward darker woods, fabrics, wall coverings.
I followed my wife's choice on this, she preferred the lighter decor, though I thought the gloomier Winnebago colors might better hide dirt.
But because of the size of the options list, there could be significant differences between any two 35J models of either brand, and in prior years when both Ford and Workhorse were available, that might have included two or three chassis options, two brands, two or three different GVWRs. This could also change by model year.
I do not have a 2008 brochure. I think maybe Winnebago still has PDF images of past model year advertising materials online.
