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?
Class C

    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.
