We just bought this unit. We love it. At 55 mph it gets 17 mpg. At 70 it gets 13+. It's very functional even without opening the slide. edit, Ours has the diesel generator and fiberglass roof and a porcelain toilet.
Thank you for that info!
I know it’s been 7 years but how was your experience with a Mercedes Winnebago? My fiancé and I are about to get this model in a few months.
@@LowenKoniig we just took it to Universal Studios a couple days ago and it is as new today as it was when we got it brand new. The only issue we had was resolving the warranty issues in the beginning. You only have one year but you don’t want it sitting at the shop waiting for months and months to get attended to. so we went ahead and used it right away ignoring some of the tiny things that needed to be addressed and waited until about two months before the warranty expired to get those things resolved so that we weren’t wasting the time we had planned to travel. They had it for about six months. We also found that if you want warranty work done you’re better off getting it done by an individual who can come to your house or to where your RV is parked instead of using the dealership. Because those guys will come and do the work and leave your RV with you and they’ll do a lot better work. The RV dealership will keep your new RV on their lot for the purpose of showing it to other people so they don’t have to make payments on one that they’re showing perspective buyers. This happened to us. We could tell they were using it for that purpose based on the traffic on the floor. Don’t trust the RV dealers but otherwise this RV is amazing.
My fiancé and I are about to get this model in a few months. Our first RV so hopefully it’s a good experience.
Thanks to you, I’ve changed my choice from a Leisure Travel Van to this Winnebago. It has more of what I’m looking for, and you covered more than other walkthroughs I’ve watched. Thanks, and great job!
We own a 2014 view, we love it.
I called Winnebago about this 24V twin bed/King bed model and was told that there are 1,200 lb allowed for food, clothing, and occupants. They said the GVWR max with all fluids, cargo and occupants is 11,030. The wet weight (fuel, coolant, fresh water, LP gas) is 9,808. They said if you subtract the wet weight from the GVWR it leaves 1,200 for occupants, clothing, groceries and any other items that you choose to bring. Not bad! Thank you for showing us this Winnebago. Luv it!
Based on the sticker Winnebago put on the View @7:13 the weight of a full load of water is not included in the CCC of 1256 (or 1222 based on the weight they gave you). I'm not saying that they are wrong, but the info you were given over the phone is counter to everything we've seen so we'd suggest double checking what they told you.
I really like this layout. For a solo traveler, I would remove one of the twin bed mattresses and install fork mounts for bikes. But I agree the carrying capacity is a bit of a bummer. Especially if someone would want to tow anything.
I have 2015 View 24J floor plan and 24V was my second choice. Safe journeys Russos!
+Jay S thanks Jay, do you full time in yours?
No... :(
I have this in the 24G I Love the bedroom slide in the rear although the "V" was my second choice. I am at 8560 miles now and consistently get 14.5MPG and about 12.5MPG in town. I am looking forward to a long cruise from Georgia to Arizona in December. Great review and yes the TV is too high up with slide in but I am working on that problem .
+Frank Brocato nice! Do you tow a car or trailer? enjoy the trip to AZ, we're in Flagstaff right now and loving it.
I have towed a car only once , a Mini Cooper and the mileage was around 12.5 but that was on a 300 mile trip have not made a longer journey yet with car behind.
Kate you did a fabulous job on this. Great work. Bring them on, you are greatly appreciated.
+Peggy McCrystal thank you!
Awesome sunroof!
Thanks for wearing the Green Bay T shirt
The angle of the the will change with the slideout! --- later on through the video -- bravo you figured it out.. lol..
Excellent job Kait! You are really good at pointing out all the little things. Thank you.
+Cogal H. Thank you, I figured I would give Joe a break and do this one 😉
Thank you for the walk through. I’m impressed with large bed area.
Hugs,
MommaFaye
You guys do great reviews, I'm sure those that request them are very appreciative.
+Downunda's Videos considering how great everyone is in terms watching and participating, it's the least we can do to say thank you.
Wow, 1,553 subscribers now. See, I told you that your "Star" was in ascendance...FANTASTIC! 💫👏🏻
+roberto abrams you were right! 🍾
We're the Russos Two years later and over 70K subscribers!
We are picking ours up next week and doing an Orlando, FL. to Bend, OR. coast to coast road trip. Can't wait. Fun times ahead :-)
Lmao! Im looking at our comments from the first time I watched this video! Joe, you predicted 25K subs by the end of 2017...I predicted 10K subs by the end of 2016! Boy o Boy were we BOTH WRONG 😂😂
I so love going back in time & watching these old videos TODAY...big fun Joe making the comparison of you guys then (before stardom), and today's Leo, Kait & Joe (YT Royalty;)! 🤴🏻👸🏻🏆
Yeah...and after we crossed 25k, we made a new "stretch" goal of 50k by the end of this year (we thought 35k would be doable). Just hit 42k so we may need another goal! lol
We're the Russos ok...lets do this...I now predict 100K subs by Xmas of 2018! I think that's doable right? And then YT will have to give you that "SILVER PLAY BUTTON" 👍🍻🏆
Very nice job.
This is a perfect camper
Wow, 8,789 subscribers now. See, I told you that your "Star" was in ascendance...FANTASTIC 💫👏🏻
(To be totally honest with you, I had no idea 7mos ago, that your "Star" would be raising this quickly...AWESOME JOB RUSSO'S! Whats next in line? 🤔
Thank you, thank you :) Its been fun and a lot of work but we're getting there!
We're the Russos If this isn't too bold of me to state, I predict 25K subs, by this time next year! Then you guys will be SUPER ATTRACTIVE to sponsors! #CrawlBeforeYouWalkBeforeYouRunBeforeYouBLASTOFF
You're on - we'll make that our goal, 25k sub by the end of 2017. We were hoping for 10k before the end of this year but it looks like we might be a bit short.
roberto abrams i
Looks like a nice little rv. Thanks guys.
+Rich T. Thanks Rich - we were pleasantly surprised by the layout.
Thanks for wearing Green Bay shirt.
Great review! I really like this one.
You do such a good job with your presentation. Did you have experience in a previous job working in front of a camera? I am enjoying watching all your videos and living vicariously on your adventures. Thanks!
+Jill Kurtz Thank you for the compliment and for following our adventure! :) As for prior experience, I [Kait] didn't have any before we started this Channel.
I knew you two were great at making videos but once I saw your shirt I had to sub. Go pack! Also I love how you don't use super excited voices all the time. Some channels feel like an advertisement.
Thanks Lisa! Great to have you here!
Excellent review. Kate gives the best walk through tours I've seen. Better even the professionals.
That was wicked (from Boston) great of you guz to do..............great job, Kait should be in Rv shows as a spokesperson!!
Thanks for the compliment Wayne :)
You are a really natural presenter...
Please show us the whole rv from the outside next time.
+νικος γιώργος you got it
Good Review
Thank you!
Nice walkthrough. Thanks for sharing!
+Average Campers' Adventures you're very welcome.
excellent review
+Ariel N (A) thank you!
your my new friend Packer Fan
Lovely
Thank You,Thank You, Thank You!! You guys are awesome! I DO love the unit,but having the utility trailer,and computers,gear,not to mention caned goods,and dry stores,I'm afraid the little diesel engine might be strained.You guys are fantastic for doing this for me. Much Aloha,,C-Ya!,,,Peace!
+GnatMan Allin How heavy is the trailer? The tow rating is 5k lbs and I drove a similar RV and that little diesel was pretty impressive. You're so very welcome and if there is anything else you want us to check out, let us know.
I'll do a little more research Joe,but even at 4500-4800Lbs,I'm afraid the Hills,and Mts where I really want to travel are going to be a challenge. I know I'll have to much weight onboard too.Maybe I'll just build another "Skoolie",and hit the Phish Concerts again.LOL,,I don't know,every time I think I have my next unit narrowed down,I come up with something else I want to do with it. I guess I'm going to have to design a very modular Base unit,that is suitable for a plethora of situations.Movable storage,overhead forward sleeping,sunroof,solar,composting toilet,or incinaret incinelet(?) I'll figure it out.Thank you again, C-Ya!,,,,Peace!
Just get a Unimog and call it a day ;)
Ha! I would love to
you pay quite a lot more for the MB platform.
it does look pretty and your presentation is flawless!
Cheers
BB
+Blazin'Blades Thank you! We looked at something similar on the Ford Transit chassis and it wasn't nearly as nice as the MB chassis...and the price wasn't too much lower.
I feel rude as I'm not seeing the price? Cost is a big consideration. So how much for the vehicle + the reno costs?
ride on, safe journey, good video
+vegasdavetv 👍
I'm still surprised you don't go with something like this, a small C vs. a B. Given the big dog, etc. I don't even see how he'd be able to turn around?
what are black and gray tanks?
Nicely done!
Thank you Doug. :)
hi I love your videos,had you seen the view 24j? do you think the view 24 J would be more better than the V version?
We did but the corner bed doesn't work for us.
Terrific walk-through. Thanks very much.
- Go, Pack Go! :) I like these designs.. I wish they we're just a tad bigger.... esp in the Shower.. and better Tv viewing.. thanks for the review..
Very good review!! Very informative. To bad so many more diesel and Mercedes. Who is going to service. Rather have Ford.
maybe next time review a tiffin phaeton 36 or the dutchstar. thanks. your reviews are very informative
dutchstar 37
+Ariel N (A) ok they are in the list - now we just have to find them.
love your reviews. thanks
I like to go to lazydays to see all the new RV's and get some free lunch....
+Mike m sounds like fun afternoon!
how much is this Mercedes ?!?!???
what about mileage??? diesel vs gas any thoughts?
GO PACK GO!!!
+Dale Nichols Yay!! Can't wait for the season to start. :)
+We're the Russos
We plan to visit Lambeau Field next year in our 2016 Bay Star.
+Dale Nichols awesome! we are headed to Lambeau this summer. Which Bay Star do you have?
+We're the Russos
3124A, I will be working till Oct. then we are FREE.
Go pack go
kate is very cute and you can tell shes a good person and treats people with respect wife material 👌🏼
is that a class A, B or C?
+Pauls POV it's considered C or B+ depending on who you ask.
I can't believe anything a Packers fan says.
That's the one you should have bought.
i don't know how old you are but i'm going to guess mid 20s, hard to tell when you have Asian genetics, haha ;)
+Mr. !nProgress mid-30s but thank you 😉
Like your videos. One of the most ugliest football jerseys ever.
