We had a View for a year, and hated the corner bed. We could not make it comfortable for us no matter what we did. It did drive and handle good, and mileage was o.k. We now have a new RoadTrek 210P, and the bed is far superior, as are several other features aforementioned by others. So far, our gas mileage is several mpg better than the View also. We have been rv-ing for many years, full-timed for several, and are quite pleased with our RoadTrek, both in quality of build and engineering to maximize space. We plan to embark on a several month long trip in it shortly.

You mentioned the unfortunate trade in value of your View. Can Dixie or anyone else comment, in general, about the trade in value of the Roadtrek sprinter type models. Are they known to be good, average ETC, in your experience or research? Thanks.
I was reading an article once from a couple who traveled south america.
they said the most limiting factor in traveling was not the length of their vehicle-which was 23 feet-but width and height. thats where the b;s advantages are.
the 24 foot sprinter van is still less than 10 feet tall with ac and
only slightly over 6 feet wide.
a navion is about the same length but taller and wide-obviously

based on another thread I have carefully been researching the new
ERA 70a by winnebego.
other than the macerator pump not having it appears to be superior
to roadtrek and pleasure way in several system issues.
I was surprised to see that it has a 16 gallon propane tank versus 12 gallons in roadtrek and pleasure way. and a new style dometic refrigerator and microwave and fridge at stand up height,
i was also able to download the user manual(not 2013 sales sheet)
from the owners section. I read thru the 2012 manual for the 70x-the only model in 2012 and was very impressed with all the features winnebego has in the era. i would suggest anyone interested should look at these documents. I am.

Tried to sell it for months--only got low-ball offers. I finally decided to trade it and take the loss, instead of looking at the View in the driveway knowing that if I had a class B, I could take it to Costco or Montana and park it almost anywhere! So, I found a 2012 Roadtrek SS Agile at a dealer that gave me a decent deal. I drove 550 miles to Lakeland, Florida, and picked it up Wednesday. I love it!
Since we're considering a View/Navion, what did you hate about the View? The Size, mileage, power, or what?
