Thinking of downsizing from DP to View
Looking for advice, considering downsizing from our HR Ambassador 40dst to a View style class C. There seems to be a broad price range even on the same chassis. Any feedback on MFGs to stay away from...

Ah, sleeping 4 adults plus a dinette in a Sprinter, a View in the appropriate floor plan is going to be a great choice. Having a cab-over bed for 2 guests, the seamless design of the View's cab-over area is "tops". There might be a rare competitor to the View offering the same seamless design. If you find seam work in the cab-over area, your safest bet is to scratch that model off your list.
Seam work in the cab-over area is the Achilles Heal of class-C motor homes. No seam work means no water leaks. That over-hanging bed resonates so much that the seams breach with age and exposure to the elements. No seams = no breach = no water damage = no mold problems.
Go for the View/Navion and you will do fine.
I think the other poster gemsworld is pointing out that the cab area (the driver & passenger seat) turn-around and become part of the living room. With 4 people inside, that provides two additional easy chairs. You are not all scrunched together sitting at the dinette all the time.
The other chassis brands and makes offer the same 180 degree seating for the driver and passenger, but the Sprinter does it better.
