Here she is, our 2008 Winnebago View
J, or as we fondly call her, "Winnie." We love to explore in our little
rv, and get out as often as we can.
We decided to purchase this model for several reasons. First, its diesel engine is dependable and long-lasting (knock wood). Made by Mercedes, these little guys have a great reputation for quality. So we were able to purchase an older model and not worry so much about it falling apart on us. Also, the View consistently gets between 15-17 mpg, making it a very fuel-efficient vehicle. It gets better gas mileage than many passenger vehicles on the road!
Possibly most important to our family, the Winnie is slim and trim (relatively) making it easy for almost any driver. We wanted to get an r.v. that both my husband (who can drive anything) and I would feel comfortable driving. I have even taken her out on a solo trip, and have no qualms about doing so! It's actually really fun to drive. It's also very easy to park and because it is so little (again relatively) it can almost fit into a standard parking space, so parking and camping spots are simple to find.
For
those of you curious, here is what some of the interior looks like. The
fabric is a little 70's chic, but since we have three (messy, VERY
messy) kids, it's almost always covered in protective fabric (read:
dropcloths for children) anyway.
Here's the dinette. We were enjoying Thanksgiving dinner in Sedona, Arizona here. As you can see, it comfortably seats four, so we purchased this little stool which is comfy enough for us, and super-easy and light for storage during our drives. |

Our kitchen includes a stove-top, and microwave/convection oven combo unit. It also has a great large sink. |
So,
that's our tour of the Winnie. Hope you've enjoyed it. We sure love our
mini-home away from home, and are very thankful for it!
