I just wanted to say hello because we just traded for our new 2008 Winnebago Sightseer 35J. We took delivery last Friday and immediately left for our shakedown trip from the dealer. We spent Memorial Day weekend in the new coach and loved it. We took the long way to a Class A for sure. First we had the 25 foot travel trailer, second we had the 33 foot 5th wheel, third we had the 30 foot Class C and finally our Class A. I am sure this will be our 15 year coach. It may sound crazy, but so far I think my favorite part is the automatic leveling system. It literally took me about 20 minutes to set my entire campsite, awesome! The king bed is nice as well. Here is what options she came with:

Ford Chassis V10
W51 Linen Moss/Green/H Cherry
086 Interior Upgrade Package
091 Cab Seats-Ultraleather
1D5 Entertainment Center/Ext W/CD
10A TV (Rear) 20 Color, Stereo
10C DVD Players(2) W/LCD Monitors
13F Microwave Convection Oven
13G Range 3 burner with Oven
13Y Windows-Coach Dual Pane
28X Mirrors-Exterior W/Defrost
35Q Ladder/Exterior
40B Inverter-DC/AC 300 Watt
41M Vent-Power Ventilator
41R Sofa Sleeper
48Q Satellite TV System Manual
52Z Awning Patio Metal Wrapped
53Z WTR HTR-6 Gal/110/LP/MTR/Auto
60M Hydraulic Level Jacks-Auto
61E TV(Front) 26" Color Stereo
64R Exterior Wash Station
64V Sidewall-Premium High Gloss
74C Video Camera System
74J Rearview Monitor SYS W/Audio
77Y Window Covering Exchange
92A PAINT-TEAKWOOD

I hope the guys in Forest City Iowa were on their game when they put this one together. So far we really like the coach. It came down to this one or the Tiffin Allegro 35QBA. I liked them both and might have even been leaning towards the Tiffin. The wife really loved the interior of the Sightseer. Case closed! I look forward to learning as much as possible form the experienced Class A owners as possible. Happy RVing!

Welcome! We followed the same sort of route to a class A. 3 pop-up campers, one used travel trailer, one new travel trailer, one gas powered class A, and now our current diesel pusher.

Welcome to the Class! Hope you have many happy, trouble free miles ahead of you. We actually went the total opposite route to get to the A by jumping right in. Never had TT's or any other type. For us it's the only way we'd travel.

It's so wonderful the new RV experience. Just try to brace for the few bumps that are bound to come. When you get past them, it's wonderful again.
