2015 Winnebago Vista 30T

We are going to be first time motorhome owners and are looking at several models. One model is a 2015 Vista 30T with only 4500 miles on it. I am wondering if anyone is willing to provide any input on the pros and cons of this model and whether there are problems with the model that should make me wary of it. Thanks in advance.

The floor plan is all important, if you like it great, but be absolutely sure! We bought a 2016 model new two years ago and prefer the open feeling in the back bedroom that is provided by the emergency exit and two small windows each side of the bed also great cross ventilation. The earlier models such as you are considering seemed just too dark and lacking in light for our tastes.

Another very important consideration is to ensure you get a model with the six speed transmission as opposed to the five speed, it makes a considerable difference. I think they first appeared in the 2016 production series.

Three good points, tortoise. Light, floor plan and transmission.

The 30T is a nice floorplan that opens up with the opposing slides. Just make sure that the floorplan works for you; you can "redecorate" later if you want to customize it a bit. Also verify that all the major systems such as the slides, power levelers, refrigerator, etc. are in good working order and there is no evidence of water leaks (stains on the ceiling.)

The 5-speed V10 is a proven engine/tranny and will be no problem. If you want improved shifting you can invest in an after-market tune such as the 5-Star for about $400. Not necessary, however.

Good luck.
