Hi Everyone!
I'm back and at square one again! The inspection on the 24v was good, other than needing new tires in 6 months, but then it finally came to light that the couch doesn't turn into a bed. I had repeatedly asked the salesmen to provide me a video showing it converted because I was concerned with the way it looked - it didn't look like it would convert. Unfortunately, AFTER I paid for an inspection, I found out that they made a mistake and it's a dual recliner couch, which won't work for me. I'm told the 2021 24V doesn't have a sofa bed option, so I am back to looking at either Navion or View 24D.
I have heard differing opinions on the 2 Sprinter versions - 6 cylinder vs the new one ?4 cylinderish?
I know it is supposed to get better gas mileage, but I also read some things about the weight of the cabin being a bit much for the new Sprinter and engines quitting in protest.
Does anyone have any experience/knowledge of that? I am leaning towards sticking with the older model with the 6 cylinder (mainly because of price), but want to keep options open (again).
And one more completely different question: Does anyone have an opinion on Thor Chateau? The salesguy was trying to get me to look at one, but from what I read, it sounds like the workmanship and materials won't be as good as Winnebago, so that would be a no-go if that is the case.
Thanks guys!!!
Randy
