Looking to get a used MH. Had a 2002 Winnebago 32 foot before with a ford motor and chassis.
The previous MH had a lot of wind noise, a lot through the exhaust fan and window seep holes. I managed to mitigate most of it but wondered in the later years (say 2010 and newer) if the wind noise is reduced for most gas units.
I am familiar with the ford Triton motor and chassis but am considering a 34 foot 2011 Allegro with an 8.1L vortec Chevy with a workhorse chassis. It comes with a 6 speed Allison and has 3 slides. The wheels are 22.5 which seems to indicate a heavier chassis. I plan to tow a 2008 saturn view behind.
I would really appreciate any comments and feedback in general but in particular concerning the chevy engine and transmission based on the size and make of the MH. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and insights.
Nothing the matter with the Fords, but given the choice, I'd go with the WH and their heavy W24 chassis would be my choice. That one didn't need the brake recall either. Most likely you're looking at a W22 or lesser in that length, so you might want to be sure that the brake recall has been done.
Either way, the 8.1 and Allison tranny are a good combo.
