Went to the "Free" RV show in Phoenix last Saturday. Ended up buying a new 2016 Winnebago View 24M on the Mercedes/Sprinter chassis. Prolly should have asked this question before signing on the bott...

We like our View and have camped in snowy Yosemite where there was plenty of propane for heating and cooking over the 4 days we were there. Not even close to running out.
In other times we had a total of 4 adults and 2 urchins aboard at the beach with no problems.
Storage is minimum so I have a cargo carrier at the rear for the BBQ, fuel & etc.
Now with also a toad its very convenient. Parking is very easy anywhere. I use the lego blocks for leveling. I have a satellite antenna carried on the ladder.
I can substitute a bike & trike rack for the cargo carrier and hold 2 kids' bikes on a ladder rack.
Do a check on your batteries before each trip. I find the house batteries almost always need a tad of water. The chassis battery is under the pilot's feet and hasn't needed water but I check each trip. I keep the batteries on trickle chargers.
We never use the tiny shower and use that space for cargo. We prefer campground showers which have much more room.
I keep a sleeping bag and about 4 or more blankets under the convertible couch, and my fishing equipment under the dinette seat.
I have a largish plastic box in the storage (outside door but under the closet) for all my electrical spares and tools.
Happy Trails!!
