Year of Winnebago 37B

poorboy1942 · 12-04-2012, 08:29 PM

I am new to Winnebago and am looking at a 2004 Adventurer. It is advertised as a model 37B. I have looked up the advertising for the 2004 model year and am unable to find the 37B in that year. When I looked up the 2005 I was able to locate model 37B.
Question, did they make a model 37B in 2004?
Could it be a 2005?
Any help will be appreaciated. I am supposed to pick it up Friday. Now not sure what I am buying.

Here is the 2004 Adventurer brochure. No 37B.

If I was going to buy a large gas class A I would look for one built on the Workhorse W24. The W24 was introduced on some of the 2005 models.

The one I am looking at has three slides and is built on the work horse chassie. It has a 8.1 L V8 but it is listed as a 2004. I think it must be a 2005.

You may want to check serial numbers. My 06 is on a 05 W24 chassis. My understanding is it was titled when it was built.

we have a '04 37B on a '03 WH W-22 chassis. This model came out late in the year and was offered for 3 years or so. While a W-24 would carry a little more weight, our 22,000 lb chassis is not over loaded with the compartments filled for spending the winter in Florida. The 6 speed Allison came out in '05 but there is no functional difference in final drive ratio because of a change in differential gearing. I believe the major reason WH went to the 6 speed is because Ford came out with a 5 speed, no proof, just my opinion. We are extremely happy with the floor plan as we live in the coach 6 or 7 months out of the year. I would buy this coach again without a doubt.

Good luck,
Dave

The 6 speed came out in 2006.

Tom N,

Thanks for correcting the year....I was relying on memory....not as good an idea as it used to be.

We had a 2005 on the W22 and drove it for 63,000 miles. We had the washer/dryer so we had to be careful loading it, but we did fine. We always went out for either two or three months; so we carried everything we needed. It was a great floor plan and a great rig for us!
