Winne Turbo Diesel or other V10 gas model???
Hi all! We're about to buy our first Class A. Looking for something a bit older (99-05 range) in the 30-34 foot range max. One that has jumped out at us is a 99 Winnebago Adventurer Turbo Diesel. ...

In 1999 Winnebago made the Adventurer on a Ford chassis, a Chevrolet chassis and a Freightliner chassis. The freightliner had a 5.9 liter 275 hp Cummins ISB engine. It also had air suspension.
One big drawback was the outside storage. The diesel model had only 95 cu. ft. of outside storage while the Ford and Chevrolet had 162 cu. ft.
The freightliner had a GVWR of 23,000 lbs. while the Chevrolet had a 16,500 lb. GVWR, and the Ford had a 20,500 lb. GVWR. The 34' model was the only one with the diesel option. They made both a 35' and a 37' model, but they were only available on Ford chassis.
Here's a link to the 1999 Winnebago Adventurer Brochure.

You might want to check the towing capacity. It might be only 3,500 lbs. Some friends of ours have one with over 200,000 miles on the odometer. They tow a Suzuki Samurai which is a pretty light vehicle.
