2020 Winnebago View 24D — Should You Buy One?
Typical asking price: $100,000–$140,000. There is 1 high-severity known issue 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.
What we checked
Not checked against public records
Motorhomes are in NHTSA’s database and we intend to use it. We have not switched it on yet because recall notices name sub-brands and floorplans rather than the model we key on, and folding them in carelessly would put another coach’s recall on this page. What follows is our own write-up, and it has not been reconciled against an official record. Treat it as a starting point, not a verdict.
