2020 Winnebago View 24D — Should You Buy One?

Typical asking price: $100,000–$140,000. There are 2 high-severity known issues you need to know before handing over a check.

Kestrel Take

A premium diesel Class C on the Mercedes Sprinter chassis — the View is compact, efficient (diesel MPG a big-coach owner can only dream of), and beautifully built by Winnebago. The trade-off is Mercedes Sprinter diesel service and emissions upkeep, which cost more and need a savvy shop. A dry, well-maintained View with documented Sprinter service is a superb, efficient, easy-to-drive coach that holds value strongly; verify the roof, slide, and diesel history.
