Winnebago View or Winnebago Trend

Considering a used View or a new Trend. Which is a better unit? In regards to drivability, quality and comfort. We're looking for a unit that we can drive around without having to pull a toad hence why we're looking at a smaller C class.

What should I expect to pay for a used 08 View and 15 Trend?

  • They are different animals completely. Only you can decide what fits you best.
  • 08 View, 24J

    I just check with my bank the other day. The loan value on it is 47,000 You'll see them listed from dealers at $60k maybe, but at least in Southern AZ the bank thinks 47k is the value.

    Floorplan RULES. I'm pretty sure both options would be a quiet, comfortable drive and ride.

    BUT!!! Be sure the carrying and towing capacities of any ProMaster-based coach will meet your needs. The Sprinter-based units have considerably more of both.

    For that reason, a used Chevy-or-Ford based unit might just satisfy your needs, leave capacity to grow into. Yes, at a decrease in fuel economy. You have loads of options at the price of either of the ones you're considering new.
  • Not very familiar with the Trend. We love our View. Study the floor plans to see which suits you better.
  • Have you considered a used Leisure Travel Van....just a thought..
