I would buy a Winnebago with no reservations. I would steer clear of the boutique brands like Nexus. Far too possible the company may fold in this day and age of business. Just because you buy a high-line Class C, does not mean you will not have major problems with it. I paid a large amount of money for my Class C, a Born Free brand, and it has been nothing but a lot of problems since buying it. Many of the problems have now happened twice within 10 years of gentle care too. Roof leaks? I think there's been at least (6) major leaks from rainwater and permanent water damage into various parts of the coach. I will never buy another Born Free after the poor response of the factory that It was basically not their fault for any of it's numerous problems. For this reason, I would be very interested in a Winnebago brand. I too, downsized from a high-line Class A to a much more problematic Class C Born Free that I thought that I wanted.
We are thinking about downsizing from a Class A to a Class C. We love the floor plan of both of the Minnie Winnie 31K and the Coachmen Leprechaun 319DSF but there are certain things about each that we do not like. If we go with Winnebago we would miss the closet space of our present coach that is found in the Coachmen and if we go with the Coachmen, the membrane roof is a concern. The swivel front seats and outdoor TV are plusses for the Coachmen but so is the fiberglass roof on the Minnie Winnie. There are also posts elsewhere about leaking front caps in the Coachmen. Do any of you out there have ideas on how to overcome smaller closets of the Winnebago or the membrane roof of the Coachmen?
