Winnebago View Review
The Winnebago View has been in the market for quite a long time already. Many owners and renters have provided reviews regarding this Class C motorhome. And View has gotten more than satisfactory ratings from various review sites.
A common feedback among owners of this rig is that it is compact in size which makes it easier to drive and maneuver on the road. It can take them to places where bigger RVs just cannot go because of their size.
Winnebago View has also lived up to its promise of fuel economy. Some users say that the average fuel mileage was between 16 and 18 mpg. This allows them to save a lot of bucks on fuel costs.
Many owners rave about the open floor space of the 24D floorplan when the Murphy bed is folded up. One should really study the floor plan that would suit their travel needs and preferences to make the most of this motorhome.
It also provides great help in terms of energy management. Owners can opt to use the solar panels or their LP generator to supplement the power provided by their Group 31 RV batteries.
Despite its size, View has a rather large cargo carrying capacity which means you can bring more stuff with you when you travel.
As with all RVs, there are also some users who’ve had negative experiences with this motorhome. There have been reports that the Riverpark Xite Infotainment System is slow to react. Some are complaining about the MaxxAir Roof Vent in the bathroom because they say it only allows very little air to pass through. Those with the Insignia 32″ TV are irked because it does not support playing movies saved on external USB devices.
These are just some of the reported complaints but as some owners have said, these could easily be modified and they were still loving their View and would still recommend this motorhome to other people.
Pros
- small and compact
- great fuel mileage
- open floor space
- energy management
- Cargo Carrying Capacity
Cons
- Riverpark Xite Infotainment System
- MaxxAir Roof Vent in bathroom
- Insignia 32″ TV doesn’t support downloaded movies
- Cheapo mini blinds in kitchen and bathroom
The Verdict

Why is the Winnebago View so expensive?
Luxurious comfort, detailed interiors, and powerful performance on the road come with a rather hefty price tag. Winnebago View offers all these with the help of top of the line amenities and systems that’s why it’s quality is exceptional in the RV industry.
You can rely on its diesel-powered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis to take you wherever you want to go. The engine is distinctly quiet and known for fuel economy. It is easy to drive which gives you more freedom on the road.
You can always bask in View’s hotel ambience and conveniences even when you’re in the middle of nowhere. That’s why it is expensive. But take note that View is not the most expensive motorhome in Winnebago’s lineup of Class C RVs. For its quality and features, Winnebago View is worth its price.
What is the difference between Winnebago View and Navion?
Winnebago View and Navion are twin units. They are both built on a Mercedes-Benz® Sprinter chassis and have a 3.0 L 6-cylinder turbo-diesel engine that produces 188 hp. This is coupled with a 7G -Tronic automatic transmission.
View and Navion both have a length of 25’6″ and has a sleeping capacity for up to 4 people. Both have the same number of floorplans and configuration inside the motorhomes. They even have the same starting price.
The only difference between these 2 Class C motorhomes is their name and of course, the printed logos on their exteriors! Navion carries Winnebago’s legacy when the RV manufacturer still carried the Itasca line in their motorhome lineup. Even back then, when Navion was called Itasca Navion, it had a lot of similarities with the View. It now carries Winnebago’s name and both motorhomes offer the same level of comfort and luxury on the road.
When did Winnebago start making View?
Winnebago first released the View in 2006. The RV manufacturer promoted it as a motorhome framed on a Dodge Sprinter with 2.7L 5-cylinder turbo diesel engine with cutting edge interiors and an innovative approach to provide storage solutions. It promised to maximize function and style at every corner of the camper.
The very first model of Winnebago View came in 2 floorplans with a length of 24’2″. Each featured day/night pleated shades, ceiling-ducted air conditioning, and floor-ducted heat. There was also a skylight, a convertible dinette with seats for 4, and 15″ LCD TV with DVD player.
The 2006 Winnebago View showcased a luxurious bathroom and an elegant kitchen. For its storage, it had large overhead cabinets, open shelves, wardrobe, and more storage space under the dinette and bed. Its warranty coverage is still the same as the current model.
