Via 25 T motorhome

We have had our 2013 Via 25T for just over a year and we love it. We downsized from a diesel pusher and towing a Jeep, and with the Via it is a different type of rv experience. With the DP we stayed on highways as much as possible to get to our destination and usually camped for 1 or 2 weeks in one spot and used the Jeep to sightsee. With the Via we get off the highway ASAP, and use secondary roads to get to our destination. We plan the trip so that we spend 1 to 7 nights at a campground and then move on, using the Via to sightsee or shop. The exterior storage space and the twin beds inside are what made us buy the 25T. In the large storage space in the back, we have folding chairs, bbq, small tables, tools, cleaning supplies, extra clothes in white garbage bags, and lots of "stuff". We use the beds as the twins and do not bother with the second mattress pad to make it a king. One of the things we did before we bought the unit was to stand in the kitchen and figure out what was going to go in each cabinet and drawer. Same in bedroom. In the DP my wife kept enough "stuff" on board to accommodate 8-12 people, but now we have just enough for 2. If I had to describe why we bought the Via and why we love the Via it would be because it makes life easier. It is great to drive and we get 15-16 mpg in Colorado and 17-18 mpg in flatlands. When parking, we just put it in the space, put out the slide and we are done. Love it. We have been places in the Via that we would never dare to go in the DP, and seen so many wonderful places. You may want to look at the Via/Reyo forum and View/Navion forum on Yahoo. Lots of great information there, but you may have to sign on to Yahoo. Links to forums: Via/Reyo. View/Navion. Let me know if you have other questions. We bought ours at Lichtsinn in Iowa and got a great price.

Not wanting to hijack this thread, but do you pull a toad? Are there any places you can't get to with the relatively small, but still somewhat large Via?

The Via and all the newer MB Sprinter rvs can tow up to 5,000lb, so you can tow a toad or trailer. Most people with the Sprinters do not tow and use the rv to sightsee or shop. We have been able to take the Via on some very small, narrow roads without any problems. I would not take it into a busy city like Denver, but I am sure others would. As long as you can find a parking space for a 26' x 90" rv you can park it. Look for all the Sprinter delivery vans in cities and other places, and you can see where the rv will go. We have not towed our Jeep yet, but if we go to Arizona for a few months this winter, I shall tow it. It is a great rv for the National Parks and State Parks that may have small rv sites. It has everything that my diesel pusher had (including 2 TVs!) just in a smaller package.

We went look at the Via 25T and loved it! I did not see a 'Black Tank Flush' hose connection anywhere on the unit. Can you tell me if it has one and it's location?
Thank You
