It is $40K less than Sprinter-based C's.
I have seen a lot of Sprinter-based C's but none that even approached $130,000. Lots of quality C's out there for less than $90,000 that have far more capability and features than the trend. IMHO: If the Trend was selling for around $50K I think they would move like hotcakes but with its smalls size and numerous limitations $90K is a joke.

I've been shopping the Minnie Winnie 22R and the Trend 23L. The Trend 23L is often quoted on RV Trader at $79k and I've seen it as low as $74k. In the 6 weeks I've been looking the price has been dropping. It looked like Winnebago couldn't make them fast enough for the demand at first and the price was high. Now the price is definitely dropping.
If it were in the low $60's we would be buying the 23L instead of the Minnie Winnie 22R. As it is, the $22k price deference would take us a little over 12 years to pay for itself assuming the E350 gets 9MPG and the Trend gets 15.
