Clickable link

Saw one yesterday up close at Leach Camper in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Looked nice except it did not have a dedicated wardrobe. Only had a closet rod spanning the bathroom. It was the Model 170XL with pleated cab window blinds and the 4 chair arrangement.

How does the Winne version stack up to the Airstream version?
Any info out there on that?
They didn't have too much info on their site but that doesn't mean the info isn't out there.

I was reading the site on the Winnebago they don't tell about the ncc though. It's not telling me what you can carry with it.
I'm going to visit a dealership tommorow. I'll see if I can get some pics.

It was my understanding that the 2500 is a 3/4 ton chasis

I wonder how much all that extra stuff added weighs and sacrifices the ncc? It can't leave that much....So, then maybe a 3500 would be better? 'Cause that's a 1 ton chassis; might consider looking for a 3500.

One good thing about the Winnie is that you can remove the rear sofa.

If the Winnie is typical of other Bs built within the Sprinter, there would be enough carrying capacity for two average adults and the supplies and clothing they would carry in the provided cabinets, drawers, and cupboards.

It's pretty lame to have to hang the clothes in the bathroom just so you can have a little larger bathroom. Lame indeed.
