Winnebago Trend - First Drive Impressions
My wife and I recently test drove a 2014 Winnebago Trend 23L (same as the Itasca Viva) and were very impressed. As previous View owners that was the benchmark for our comparison. We then drove a new...

We recently made a drive down to FOrest CIty to look at the Trend/Viva. THey had the 23L floorplan (which I prefer). I have been researching small motorhomes for use as day trip and touring RV. Really liked the Viva...I liked the outside strip coloring on the Itasca over that of the Winnebago. Otherwise they were the same. Didnt do a test drive. One concern my husband had was the generator was under the coach and not very accessible. THe sales gal asked if we do our own maintenance...well no, but we check fluids and stuff. Not a deal breaker, but it could be for some. Outside storage was limited. I like the large bins on the regular class C coaches with a similiar corner bed floorplan. Even a lawn chair would be hard pressed to fit except for a bag style chair. I am looking for something to replace my full size van and it needs to go down the road well. I think this would drive better then a regular cab over type C, and better then the regular B+ since it has the bed in the ceiling. My list is a Phoenix Cruiser 2350, Viva and a 22' corner bed class c. I need the corner bed floorplan for dog kennels. SO even though I want a daytrip RV I need a bed, go figure. :)
