I have owned this vehicle since October 2018. In the first year, I put on around 25,000 miles. I love it. As noted by another person, you didn't show or discuss the trunk area. I find it to be quite handy. I traded in my 2015 Itasca Navion for the Winnebago Era 70M. There are a number of "surprise and delights" with this floor plan. As far as quality of cabinetry concerns, I had to replace two drawer latches recently. The wardrobe I use for clothes. The "pantry" is the bank of drawers/cupboard closest to the rear of the vehicle. The door opens left and makes contents easily accessible from the galley. The other cupboard/drawer opens to the right and creates a nice extended bathroom area for clothes and toiletries. I really do love the bed and bathroom in this vehicle. The mattress is scary comfortable. Even when I am not tired, I don't want to get up. It's that comfortable. I haven't found a lane assist feature in my vehicle that you mentioned in the video. I also have not met anyone with 100 W solar or an inverter . I've only seen 200W solar. Another little detail is the rear mounted spare tire. I don't know if folks care that it is not mounted underneath or that it is an extra thing to deal with for gaining access to the garage on the left. Oh...and a not-so-delight for me was no gravity fill for fresh water. Thanks for the review!

We have this exact model/year of van. The only difference is we have the darker interior option. Bought it used when it was 2 years old and had all of 2500 miles on it. Now almost up to 20k. The MB part of the van is rock-solid, pleasant to drive, and reasonably fuel efficient for such a large vehicle. We have averaged about 17 MPG. The systems have also held up well, e.g. the Truma Combi. The only issues have been with stuff that Winnebago actually built themselves. The stapled framing has not, of yet, been an issue. Screws pulling out of cabinet doors and so forth have been a constant issue. I now carry an assortment of small screws in my toolbag on trips. A constant minor annoyance but not a trip killer, and easy to fix with slightly bigger screws and a bit of epoxy. We did have a shower leak when we got it that we had somehow missed during the walk thru (we forgot to look UNDER the van after testing the shower) which I had to fix, but that was probably due to improper winterization by the original owner. Oh, and the OEM LP regulator failed not once but twice, and I've replaced it with a non-OEM unit. I also carry a spare. We have friends who bought a slightly used Leisure Unity that was $50k more and they have had way more, and more expensive to fix, problems. IMO don't buy any type of RV unless you are (a) handy, (b) willing to work on things, (c) willing to spend many hours reading the manual and (d) going to use it enough to justify the pile of cash sitting idle in your driveway. Every RV has very complex systems and a lot of "stuff" packed into a tight space. Mess up on a system and you may have a very bad and expensive experience. Neglect maintenance same thing. Relying on a RV shop to fix all the "little things" that can/will go wrong in such a complex vehicle will be very expensive and time-consuming. The friends with the Unity are not handy, don't like to read the manual, and have to do a 120 mile round trip at $6/gallon now just to get it to a dealer. I've never had ours to a dealer, done every repair myself.

Valuable comment on the stick framing and staple construction. I appreciate this level of analysis...Thank you.

Once again I like your unbiased reviews and delve “behind the scenes”. The more of your reviews I watch the happier I become with my Leisure Wonder RTB. 😀

Great review. I rented one of these Era coaches a few years ago. I was told it was almost brand new and over the course of the 10 days I had it, it gradually fell apart. Screws just falling out of MDF (you could tell someone impacted them in or let them over tighten with the drill), squeaks and rattles while driving, cabinet doors out of alignment. Wouldn’t buy one but would rent again

Your own vehicle always seems the best of the blend. It feels open and bright.

Great review. And I saw a review some time ago of another Winnebago RV (it was probably yours) at a trade show in which the ceiling upholstery was coming down and fixtures were already broken, and you may have mentioned staples then too. I think that level of quality explains why these things only have a one-year warranty. Love the huge bathroom and slideout, but I wouldn’t touch this thing. What I want is a Pleasure Way RV with this Winnebago bathroom and the Roadtrek electrical system, and I want it for $130k taxes included. 👍👍 Well, a man can dream.

Given the short amt of time I spend in the bath vs living areas, I'm one who would choose the wet bath to have a dedicated sleeping area. Plus "pantry/wardrobe" is a no as well. Great review tho!

I bought a 2016 Winnebago ERA 70XL and had nothing but build quality issues the first 8 months. LED lights failed many times, faucet fell out of the galley sink, generator issues, propane issues, too many to name. I had to replace the macerator hose after 1 year of use. The staple to trim wood failed in a couple of places. The MB Sprinter chassis was great. Plenty of power and great fuel economy. The wet bath was ok. I traded it in March 2018 for a THOR Siesta 24 SS on the same MB Sprinter chassis. Only a few minor issues that were repaired quickly. What a difference in technology in just 2 years. I now have a dry bath, solar power, more room to sleep 5 with two slide outs. I would not recommend Winnebago at this point. Their customer service was lousy. Thor customer service has been great.

Agreed. Something with MSRP almost $150K should have cheaply/poorly built cabinets

2018 Winnebago Era 170x(70x) Review: First, I will tell you I love this van. I am writing this essay to hopefully inform people and provide some insights into my experience with this RV, and to aide in your purchasing decisions. Despite the negative parts of the review, This RV has been an incredible experience and my family has had countless memorable experiences, plus it allowed my father to travel with us for the last 5 years of his life. That being said, I feel I have owned and experienced this RV long enough to write a comprehensive review that might aid others in their purchase decision. The first thing I will tell you about considering purchasing one of these or something similar is that things WILL break. Winnebago does not use the highest quality parts on all things. But I will tell you, DO NOT purchase the extended warranty unless you live next to the dealership. The benefit to Winnebago using some cheap parts is that they are cheap to replace and almost everything is fixable yourself or by a basic handy man. And there is a youtube video to teach you how to replace or fix almost anything. For the most part, it has not been worth it to have the warranty because, to travel hours to a dealership and have someone follow you and leave the RV there for 2 months, then get a ride to pick it up, and they don’t even cover all the broken parts for reasons they don’t even have, just isn’t worth it when I can order the part for $60-$100 and change it in 30 min with one screwdriver. My first repair was the water pump died after 2 months. It was clearly a faulty pump cause these pumps are made well and can run dry. I called the pump manufacturer and talked them into mailing an exchange rather than go all the way to dealership. They obliged my request and I changed it out in maybe 30 min and it has never malfunctioned again. BTW, a new pump was only $60 if I had to pay for it. Most serious repairs will have to be done wherever you are and it will never be near a dealership. Example, I filled up with propane at a shady place and they loaded my tank with a lot of oil which blew out my regulator and propane was leaking and had to shut down the tank. I took it to a middle of nowhere repair shop for truckers and he drove out to get the part and fixed it within 2 hours and it was $190. HAD to get fixed immediately because we needed heating system and generator to operate. So clearly warranty work is usually not possible when traveling and dealership appointments usually take 3 months to get…. if I was willing to drive hours to Atlanta to get to the dealership. Clearly anyone would pay the $190 for a 2-hour repair and call it a day. I did attempt to use the warranty once. Big trip around the country in 2021 with a bunch of guys. Window cranks stripped everywhere leaving me to tape widows shut. Sewer line cracked, bathroom fan burnt out, GFI outlet that powers all outlets took a dump. Someone put wet wipes in toilet and destroyed macerator. Almost every cabinet had issues with staying up or broken latch that holds door/cabs shut broke. Electric side of heating system stopped working (30amp GFI under bed died for no reason). Electric bed motor went out of whack. Even BOTH exhaust pipe mounting straps failed for Sprinter and Generator. Had to temp strap up with plumber’s strap. I had finally accumulated enough issues to bring it for a big warranty repair and thought maybe I might get my $7k worth of extended warranty back. Well, first, the warranty company only covers what they decide to cover and most of it is parts only, not install. Long story short on this… Total repair cost at La Mesa was $4,500 and warranty covered all but $2000. They even covered the macerator. But the out of pocket was still huge and it took 3 months. The sewage hose they replaced… they replaced the original 10 foot hose with a 3 foot hose that can’t reach anything and charged $108 (not labor) for the 3 foot hose. I just finally found a Proper 10 foot replacement on amazon for $30 and installed myself. I was getting by with an oversized rigged hose till I finally found the correct size replacement. It was not standard for this RV. They never fixed exhaust pipes. Both La mesa and Mercedes said my repairs were more solid than the original parts. Not so happy about the compliment. My understanding is that the rubberized straps are important for avoiding reverberation noises radiating through the frame. But I haven’t noticed them as of yet. I didn’t push the issue because their straps clearly do not last anyway. The window cranks are a night mare. Use them and they will strip. They cost a fortune to replace at dealership. You can buy cranks at Winnebago parts website for $80 each and a you tube video shows you how to change it in 30 min. there are cheaper Chinese copies that are $20 on ebay and other sites. DO NOT BUY THEM. They will strip immediately. Total scam. The $80 Winnebago part is the only decent replacement and the holes are not tapped. You will need a tapping bit to thread the hole for install. It was not difficult. Take 1 screw to auto parts store and they will get you the right tap. Long story short, Warranty is not worth the money unless you live near dealership. Most repairs cost less than the gas to get there. On the Mercedes side of things, I have had only one problem in 6 years. Throttle calibration system died. Only one year warranty on sprinter so it cost me $2400 to fix. Was a huge pain because it kept putting the RV in limp mode. Other than that, original battery JUST died on me a week ago. Lasted 6 years which is unbelievable. DBL coach batteries died and were replaced a couple years ago. Lasted maybe 4 years and were $400ea to replace at local mechanic’s shop. I have the 4x4 sprinter 3500 turbo diesel and I travel almost all in the mountains and this thing has done stuff you would not believe. Off-roading to cabins in the mountains, turning around at dead end on cliffs, getting out of ditches… this thig has done it all at 24 feet long and its remarkable. It has only been serviced maybe 3 times at Mercedes. At 45k miles and still on original breaks which just got inspected and aren’t even close to needing replacement. On 2nd set of tires which were only $250 each. Always travel with replacement door and cabinet latches. They are plastic and they will break and you either have to pull over and fix it or tape it shut or you can’t drive. If you have kids, they will slam the doors and cabinets and bust the latches. Par for the course I guess. Never try to use bathroom exhaust fan while driving. It will just strip fan blade off motor and blow smell into cabin. The power management system does NOT operate on generator, only on land hookup. So, if you run AC and try to use microwave while driving, be prepared to have to pull over and crawl under RV, remove case cover and reset breaker manually (which you can not find without La-mesa tech telling you exactly where it is). But on that subject.. I called them when it happened and they walked me through every single step of getting it working again. Literally told me to stick my hand down in there and I would feel a breaker and to flip it. Couldn’t see it. But he was right and got me back up and running. Recently my roof top AC blade snapped off and wrecked the entire unit. La-mesa just put in a new upgraded AC that is lower profile, blows harder and colder and is super quiet. Best upgrade ever! Scott at the new la mesa in Davie hooked it up big time. I did not want to deal with the warranty process which would have taken forever and still not cover labor so I just paid it out of pocket. $4k but now there is NO super loud AC and sleeping is wonderful. New AC also has smarter computer the manages the switch settings to avoid blowing GFI. Also new AC is so strong we no longer use Mercedes AC. Next project is to upgrade the Gen from the 2500 to the physically smaller, quieter, more fuel efficient 3600. The ultra quiet 2500 is NOT quiet. That is just bogus info. The newer 3600 is silent from what I have heard and will allow us to microwave and run AC together without blowing circuit breakers. I change gen oil myself now. It takes no time at all and only requires like a cup of oil. Not worth taking to mechanic. I have 720 hours on it and it still runs like a champ. I change the oil every 200 hours. I change oil on Sprinter every 10,000 miles even though it says every 16,000. Even Mercedes dealer will tell you every 10k is a better idea. On my latest trip, it began to drip sewage which got stinky. Turns out the 2 rubber couplers holding a pipe in had rotted. I got 2 new 3 inch couplers at hardware store and changed myself. Was messy but repair was easy and any plumber could fix easily. Also, recently all the writing is peeling off the light buttons. The warranty wont replace them and they cost over $100 each. I just replaced the main panel and the rear panel. still have to replace the galley light switch panel and the awning control panel. They just look like nameless white buttons now. So, I hope you appreciate this review. Anyone dropping $200k+ on an RV should have a realistic idea of what to expect and the work involved. Clearly other manufactures make higher quality products but I am still very happy with my Winnebago Era 170x/70x.

100% agree! Thanks for the heads-up on the staples & sticks.

I agree with you, the dry bath is a saver, but does not overcome the poor building quality of the cabinets.

Just stumbled across your channel (in my "recomendeds"), and watched a few of your reviews. Very surprised (and very pleased) to see that you are actually *reviewing* these RV's and not just simply listing all their features and then saying that they are all wonderful (as I am seeing so many other RV "reviewers" do). Subscribed, please keep up the good work!

Hi Neil, thanks for another great review. If I were to spend that much money on an RV, stick framing and cheap staples behind the panels are unacceptable at this price point. Winnebago, really?? Your high end $100k+ RV "appears" beautiful but the build quality just wont last and Winnebago's ONE year warranty says it all. I'm not a fan of the slide out- more things that can break and we all know repairs on a Mercedes coach are not cheap. The slide out not depoyed =no walkway and driver seat cannot extend. Thankfully Winnebago moved the TV, the last model with TV on counter was an epic fail so good they made the adjustment. A 23 foot Class B is just way too much rig for me and parking would be a constant inconvenience. Thanks again Neil. I appreciate quality and this coach doesn't cut the mustard for the long haul.

Make the sink in the bathroom a fold-down and put in a dirty laundry hamper and a washer dryer single combo

Is there any reasonably priced that aren’t stuck framed ? Wow I’m impressed with your honest reviews Ty

Such an honest review, thank you!

after a year of studying class B's and as much as I love this Rig... It is Too BIg & I do not have enough stuff to fill it either - a very nice Rig for 2 people. * Pleasure way and the Travato 59g seem to be better suited for me. It is a balancing game of compromises, as no Rig is perfect. :)

Dry bath is like a dream in a van

Looked at one of these at an RV dealership. There was an awful lot of broken things in it, like that fold up counter extension. For the price of this thing, I would avoid it. It's pretty, but as you said, all glossy front with problems lurking behind ready to make your 2 year old expensive RV a maintenance nightmare.

great intro and thank you for showing us the bed put together. I wonder if you ever have a bed with safety pillows, for grandchildren at the age of 4. I have never seen a childs bed on any of these vans or a "pillow guard" bed for children

Excellent HONEST review!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the review. Will be watching for more..seems the engineer designed for eye candy, which does get your attention. Then getting to the nuts and bolts and others experience's giving the real story, has changed my mind for this brand. Appreciate all the info.

Agree! A dry bath is a must in my opinion.

Era owner following problems 1. three water leaks one serious 2. cabinet doors are pressed pulp, tend to fly open and screws strip out 3. excellent bathroom 4. screen on main door fell apart can't be fixed 5. rear storage has cheap walls, screws stripped out under weight of a hose 6. stitching split on bed after 6 months 7. very nice paint 8. 18 mpg good driver Note a Kenwood receiver wil fit in dash with Metra kit

Thanks Neil another honest review

Amazingly thorough review. It’s like I was there. Great review of size details and manufacturing process. Great advise

Dry bath!!!! Awesome!!!!

Really great review Neil.....I’m well aware of winnebagos lack of quality....I want to love this but I can’t.we bought a travato 59k about 8 months ago and good thing Annie is handy because we’ve had to repair countless things ourselves.....refrigerator issues twice......awning repaired...the drawers had to be rebuilt....the generator had issues just to name a few .....also had to put insulation in all over because it has none.maybe after we fix everything I can love it again but I don’t think Winnebago will be in any future coach we buy....and as a couple of grannies new to the rv world we always thought Winnebago was a good name...once everything is repaired I think we will have a good rv but it has been way more work than expected.not sure what our next move will be....considering a coach house platinum 2 .i really wish you would review them as a b plus.keep up the good work ! Ruth

That galley countertop is a good use of space.

Love the dry bath and the slide.

The thing about Winnebago, is that they are a large production RV maker. From their smallest Class B to their luxurious $450,000 Horizon Class A, every single one of them (and I have looked, at RV shows) have a lot of staples. Not only in the cabinetry, but in wall paneling as well... the staples covered by a thin decorative vertical strip. But it's relative. To get a quality-built Class A, you may pay double, or even three times, what the Winnebago costs. For Class B's, to have every feature you want, you need to go to Advanced RV and custom-order your own. But it will cost double the price of a new Winnebago Era.

Nice video. Maybe B isn't for us. C are more home like.

For 2019 build the lack of lithium batteries and heavy duty inverters is probably not something I would consider. Running everything of battery power is much more convenient in the long run. Multiple charging options are also important factor. Electronic cooking, heating, lighting and cooling is the way of the future in modern travel vans.

Looks like a longer, cheaper version of Leisure Travel Van’s 2016 Sprint SS. Having a Winnebago with cupboard problems.

This is a very thorough review. Thanks

I would have to agree with your conclusion to consider purchasing this. If anything, the dry bath is possibly very much worth the lack of quality in the cabinetry. And you can always replace that in the future.

Terrific review

Great review. Your addressing the finer points of the RV were very helpful. Would have liked to address any other Winnebago RV on a sprinter chassis with cabinets not stapled - a issue you addressed.

The Leisure Travel Vans in my opinion is the best Class B van. I have seen every Class B out there and they win with the best modern design. The Unity with the Murphy Bed slide out is my favorite. You can also pick from many different design builds. Their Vans are going to set you back $150,000. Not cheap but if you have the funds I would buy a Leisure Travel Van. They also have a great dry bath. Their build quality is top notch

So well done!

Great video! Chinook bayside has a dry bath. I would LOVE to see a review on the bayside. Please consider

Great review. Love the floor plan, but I’ll pass up on the staple and glue concept.

Free Spirit from LTV has a slideout too & is way better than winebago! Nice review ,keep the good work you you do

So many people are going to buy this rig and after a few trips will realize their mistake . Hopefully your review will help them . Everyone purchasing any kind of RV needs to get the salesman away and pretend they are actually using the van .Building the bed and laying in it to simulate sleeping etc... I love how you show the rig warts and all .

I loved this review, very classy and very professional! This was top notch. This is like the Motortrend of RVs! Very well done!

Another HONEST review! Thank you! Any other comments re noise while driving? I've heard a slide out can be noisy. Also that they can leak rainwater inside unless there is a "tent" over the slide when extended.

Love your honesty!

Agree with your review but for me it is an avoid because of the stick building.

Neal, We love your work. Your approach to reviewing would be welcomed for the class “C” world as well. The acknowledgement of “Stick and Staple” construction is helpful to us and should be a red flag to Winnebago. Thank you, The Malmberg's

0:41 - vital to include the rating standard for the televisions screen on the layout plan of your new camper.

I like the floor plan of the model you reviewed here but I would change a lot still. With the bathroom in the rear I wish they would have had huge rear windows in the back just makes those tiny RV bathrooms less claustrophobic when the door is shut. In the front I prefer two forward facing captains chairs or if there is a couch for it to be a little wider, enough to lay down on. Unity has a cool dual captain chairs with a Murphy that folds down over them. And I think the captains chairs face sideways like the couch but they can rotate or swivel. As far as the middle I would like to see more open space. I like it when the driver can easily see to the back of the RV on both sides. The kitchen side is good but the dresser and frig block that view..

12:00 = HAVE TO HAVE THE SLIDE OUT TO DROP THE BED... SO PASSING CARS CAN SLAM INTO YOU???

Can you do a review on the Arriva?

Hi! I notice this video is five years old now. I was wondering if you or anyone else could comment on how well this model has held up over time. Thanks.

I've always felt if you need a slide out, you are starting with a unit that is way too small for you to begin with.

I asked about the pure 3 directed at a LARGE Winnebago dealer. Note they mentioned View and not ERA in their reply. This question was from a Travato pure 3 GL/KL video: "Thank you. Are there plans to move this technology over to the Mercedes platform? Specifically the ERA and Revel platforms. " XXX RV 10 hours ago Good morning! Thanks for your note... there are no plans to move this into View or Revel at the current time. Over time as technology prices drive down over a longer term horizon, this could be more manageable in terms of cost."

Very helpful. Especially knowing about stick/frame construction. I'd really love a 24 or 25 ft with a queen size murphy bed in the rear and a slide for the galley/lounge area. But for now I'll stay with my 31' Flair.

I notice in nearly all such reviews, the seating for "taller" people is mentioned. However, what about us shorter, older folks?? I've noticed that most construction is designed for men drivers. 5'2" is pretty much average for older women.

Great review! Your honesty was refreshing and much needed. What a sad thing for this RV frontrunner manufacturer to use shoddy build techniques. When they charge $700 for a ladder, which is more than the Pentagon pays, and 1200 for a roof rack, they should build sturdy cabinets! This is why I want to build my own van. Toilet or not, I want quality in every single detail. No need to compromise, pay much more, and get much less.

Great review!

Great review. But is there a tutorial l on the working components in the RV?? More detailed info about the control panel. The manuals are confusing it best. I didn't know if winnebago had a complete delete walkthrough and usage of all the different features and functions. Thanks...JR

It’s a shame they have such poor build quality, I think your rating is spot on however as it is a unique layout that may be perfect for some. I am not crazy about the lack of space when the slide is in, eliminating the side door access. Also don’t like the potential issues from having a slide, one more failure point and leaks. One of the reasons I like class B rigs is smart space utilization without the hassle of slides.

Word thats awesome

It looks like a leak on the floor from the slide @6:58. Slides can be weather nightmares. And if I'm going with a class B, it is to have the metal shell of a van around me. No fiberglass shell please!

On every Winnebago I have viewed there are a lot of stains on the floor.

Nice review Neil, like always 👍🏽😁👍🏽😁

That couch is a dealbreaker for me

The View is fab you got it wright

For you women who still have menstrual cycles, this is a game-changer especially if your menstrual is heavy! MEN JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND why we refuse to go to certain places or stay long hours at an event during that time of the month. A man who considers his woman's need would buy this van or one like it. I personally hate the bed I would like it better if they could have made the bed sideways, therefore, the bed could be down without the slide. I would gladly give up the stove for that, which I don't think many people use unless they're camping. I see this van for someone like me who rather not be bothered with planes and drive to a meet in another state or cross country. I like being self-contained, therefore, a bathroom is very important to be. I'd rather get permission to pull into a companies parking area when I arrive and sleep there and not have to worry about traffic or hotel shutters to get me to a meeting on time especially in California and New York or Atlanta for that matter. I'd rather bring a folding table and chairs with me and open that in the lounge area for entertaining rather than have guest sat on that uncomfortable couch. I don't know why they can't do it like Leisure way murphy bed. I'd rather have a fold-down desk built into my murphy bed so I can work while someone else is driving. Also, as a stand-alone murphy bed, it could easily substitute for a filming area for KZfaqrs, especially if they use a green screen with the slide-out it's much easier to film inside the van. The weather doesn't always agree with us so should we have to forgo a filming segment because of the weather, no we substitute it with green screen. I think people have to keep in mind that this is a vehicle and vehicles shakes and rattles as years go on. For most people, this isn't their home. I think you should test drive the vehicle on the highway and if it is noisy and rattling then you shouldn't buy it but if not then consider it as a regular vehicle with upkeep you will have to maintain at some point down the line.

Great Video. I agree completely.....while I love the dry bath and layout.....I'm inclined to pass because of the build quality. No place for staple and stick build. Looks great out of the box but doubtful to hold up long term. Thanks again.

Surprised they'd build such a cramped, cost-cutting design on that chassis

Once they add the lithium option available in the Travato, I'd be interested.

Thank you so much as usual for a great review! We're one of those couples who are constantly debating the wet vs. dry bath issue in Class B's! The "boss" has a lot of influence with her relatively stubborn opinion,... please don't tell her I'm outing her!! ;-)..., with her love of a dry bath!! Me, on the other hand, can go in either direction. I think our dream would be to somehow set up a dry bath as in the Pleasure-Way XLTD within one of these standard width rigs... Not sure if this is possible, but hey!, I can dream!! Cheers to your wonderful videos!!

Awesome, I didn’t know they had a van with a slide out option. I wonder of they have a slide out that will fit in a parking spot

Good reporting!

Staples & stick framing is such a disappointment. The rear bath should be available more than they are. Thanks for the review!

Winnebago's to me are the best ok I agrees stick framing is not a great foundation, but I can tell you Winnebago stands behind what they make better anyone else (imo) they were old school when I was a kid in the 70's lol so they know what they are doing. With that said im not sure why you would give up so much for a dry bath when a wet baths today give you plenty of room to stand ok its not home but you don't have to sit on the john to shower anymore ! thanks

A thoroughly honest review. A breath of fresh air and we thank you. We currently own a 2018 Roadtrek and are interested in trading for something with a slide that is well though out. This is not. The dry bath is a big plus but for us it is the only plus.We really enjoyed your review and we thank you. Niki and Jack

Did Winnebago have problems with this rig...haven’t seen anyone emulating the slideout.

Hello, sir. Just watched your video and loved it. Found it very informative. We’ve just started our research about rv’s and am leaning toward the Sprinter but we’re also exploring class c rv’s. So, do u have a video on the Coachman 32’ Leprechaun ? I saw one not too long ago and kinda liked it. If not, could I plz do one. We’re using your videos as part of our research process.

Unity offers a slide.

I wish it was clearer why you would avoid this model? Is it solely becuase the cabinets have staples instead of screws? Seriously? I understand screws in solid wood would have been a better choice. Or does the 4x4 mean that much to you? I don't understand why only the "bathroom" saves it as a model to considered? Sincerely appreciate the valuable info you presented but a little bit more clarification on why you would avoid it would have been even more helpful? Thanks!

Just wondering how does it compare to the passage by Midwest .great video

Yep, only "Consider" errr...."considering" the sticks & staples construction and the meager 1 year warranty. If they're cutting corners on the build quality you can see, it makes you wonder where else they're doing it.

HI. Ive been Following your videos, as Ive been immersing myself in an RV education, and buying process. Thanks so much for what you do. Ive have question as what the difference might be between the 70M and a 170 M model that I have found. A 2018

Great review. What do you see when you open the rear doors? Is there storage space of any kind?

Thanks

Nope. No slides for me. Just asking for problems especially with build issues and short warranty

I wish we could get you to do some Class A gas reviews, of Tiffin Allegro Open Roads and Newmar Canyon Stars. How about it?

what about the generator, does it have one thanks great video

Hey Neil great as always, but you said the arriva by coach house was the only other class b with dry bath but you did a review i thought on the ltv unity that also have a dry bath along with the flex so not sure what you meant.....please let us know about all the class b's with dry bath in the comment reply.....thanks again

I Have a 2016 winnebago 170X with 20k miles on it and its falling apart piece by piece, the cheap wood construction is awful. The overhead bin broke and fell on my head when I was driving on the highway!(super dangerous).It seems like everything is just slapped together cheaply. My coach has been repaired over 15 times in the last 2 years and we only use it for road trips, no camping. Think twice before you buy a Winnebago ERA.

total novice but are there mechanicals that can be removed in the rear so that you could put an opening like the coachman arriva for pass through?

why does not winnebago make the 25 ft Reyo anymore that was one of the RV I was interested in and liked was it not a well liked RUV? was it a poorly made RUV and people just didn't like it?..I cant find any answer to these question. Our local dealer here in Fairfield Ca is not much help, actually in VV, and the other dealers want to sell me a class B which is to overpriced for me. thanks for your help.

Terrible slideout placement.. i love the van but disappointing in the space to walk and the drivers seat when slideout in.. it needs to be moved or switched with the kitchen side. Love the bathroom

not show us about king bed yet oh well, but the wrong place pic of RV map not same
