They are all old ones or brand new ones. None that are just 2 or 3 years old-- the sweet spot of buying a RV.

Yep. The Adventurer is a VERY popular model. A few years ago (may still be?) it was listed as THE most popular model of ANY motorhome so there are definitely a lot of them in use. ...but happy owners tend to hang onto their Adventurers.

I have to agree with that, why sell something you are happy with? Love ours!

I'm assuming that you have ordered a 35P from Winnebago through a dealer. I did the same with our 2016 Sightseer.

I sent Winnebago an email and was able to get updates on the build for our 2016 Sightseer.

Winnebago did not meet the build date my dealer provided. My contact at Winnebago would till me that our coach was in build, paint, test, and ect.

Safe travels. JD

That is great. I wish I had thought of it. My dealer was WAY off on the delivery time. I did speak to our factory rep and it is supposed to ship here tomorrow. It would have been fun to follow it through the factory.

We have a 2015 Suncruiser 37F and two years into full time RVing, we still think we bought the right rig - Schwinteks not withstanding.

There does not seem to be a lot of them on the used market. I think I agree with some of the others posts that if you like what you've got, why change it?

When our coach was delivered to Washington State the delivery driver hit something on his way. I didn't notice the damage at first but after our new rig was home I noticed spider web cracking around the passenger's side headlight. More investigation showed that the front cap fiberglass had been fractured underneath the front.

My dealer had their bodyshop fix the damage. The fix was good and I'm happy now.

When your new rig arrives give it a thorough inspection.

Safe travels. JD

Definitely. Someone was good enough to post a thorough inspection checklist. I plan to take the whole day to go through it.

My 2000 37g is still going strong. Ive been looking for a newer model but the prices are through the roof. Until I find a good deal on a dp, I will keep running my older Adventurer. I have two friends with newer diesel pushers and my Adventurer has some features that their coaches dont. Mine has pretty much all the extras you would want. (almost lol)

33V Adventurer & Workhorse

Ours is an '06 with 80k. Very happy.
Only replacements=tires and brakes.
Some minor self done fixes such as releveling the HWH jack control, tape on roof line (better than recaulking IMO), entry door rattle, fan in refer vent.
Oh yes, installed better water pump. Am one who hates the decals. We travel at least 60 days a year.

where are they?

I agree that there are not many 2012 and newer used out there. We have a 2014 37F and we are looking to trade "up" to a DP. We are looking at a Thor Venetian with a floor plan we really like. I have been trying to get an idea of what our Adventurer is worth so we can really see how much it will actually cost us to switch. I entered our numbers into the NADA estimator but I would rather see real prices on the resale side. Anyone know where I might find some "real" numbers?

Goggle your model and year and add for sale. Not all the ads will be totally current, but some of them will be. Rvtrader is another option. Rvt.com is another.
