Re: Winnebago 27N Vista...
We bought our 2014 27N in January. Recently returned from a trip from here in Durango to Oregon & Washington. We were along the coast most of the way thru Oregon and Washington. Our only complaint is the fuel mileage. Other than that this is a dream and yes you can get in the bed with the slides in. Spent a night at Cabelas in Lehi, Ut. We opened the closet slide and had the full bed. We tow an 87 Suzuki Samurai. Great Coach!685Views0likes0CommentsRe: Toad Advice
My Vista is a 2014. The reason for the desire for a pickup is I would like to sell the Dodge 1 ton and Suzuki and only have one power unit to replace the two. As far as all of the weight limit discussion, I spent most of my life driving truck (2,000,000 plus miles). I am no stranger to weight limits. My question is what 4X4 pickups that weighs 5000 pounds or less are suitable for flat tow. I'm not interested in something new. All of the input has been appreciated.581Views0likes0Comments- 296Views0likes0Comments

Toad Advice
We traded our fifth wheel in for a Winnebago Vista 27'. I bought an 87 (nice) Suzuki Samurai for a tow vehicle. I would like to sell my Dodge diesel, and the Samurai and get a 2008 - 2012 pickup as a tow vehicle. I need at least a 1/2 ton 4X4. Here in Colorado, 4X4 is a necessity. I also need something under 5000 pounds (Vista tow weight limit). Are there any suggestions for such a pickup that can be towed 4 on the ground?5KViews0likes22CommentsRe: The Liquid Nails Company Did The Right Thing!!!
I too will use Liquid Nails in the future as I have in the past. A great company with great customer service. I also had an issue with Fantasticc Fan on a 2001 fifth wheel. Like a previous post, I was sent a replacement product free of charges including shipping. I will continue to use these two products in support of their customer service. Quit whining about them sending a case of the product. That is their decision and if most of the remaining tubes dry up - so what! Let's hear about more of these type of companies we can support.708Views0likes0CommentsRe: Fiver to Sprinter type

The c's most like a B+ would be View Profile and Navion IQ, though Winnebago has not used that marketing term (from Gulfstream originally) to describe a C without overhead bed. There are actually quite a few Navions and Views out there, been making them for something like 8 years, but the IQ and Profile are more recent and rarer. If the idea is to get a Sprinter under you, I suggest you look at them all, new if you must in order to find them, to decide how much space you want for travel. The true B, the Era, is slimmer and gets around better. The A, C and B+ styles are roomier, the A probably roomiest, and all about the same size outside, 24-25 long and just under eight foot wide. Sprinter B's and B+/Cs are available from other manufacturers, again going back 8-9 years, Gulfstream about the oldest. Earliest models had the overhead bed, it is only recently that U.S. manufacturers have moved to what in Europe is called the "profile" motorhome style on a Sprinter. Good info, thanks.401Views0likes0CommentsRe: Fiver to Sprinter type
