I own a 2002 Winnebago Vista and tires are very hard to find and VW dealerships are very, very reluctant to work on it even under written warranty. Any other Vista owners have these problems??
Did you ever get any replies to your question about your motorhome? My wife and I are looking at buying a Vista. Any good or bad comments about your motorhome will be appreciated. Thanks.
I am looking to sell my parents 2004 Winnebago Vista. It has less then 34,000 miles on it. It still has the plastic over the carpet. The only thing that shows any sign of ware is the drivers seat. It is spliting out on the side seam. I think it is from the sun hitting on it.If anyone in Maine is looking for a GREAT little R.V. please e-mail me. My mom passed a way shortly after they bought it, dad and I took a few trips in it, but he can't drive anymore and it's to big for me.
Me too....looking to buy a Vista or Sunstar. I wonder what the complaints are about. All the reviews from RV experts said the thing handled like a dream. I am not paying attention to the complainers until they presents technical deficiencies. I think maybe the complaints are the RV is too small. In my case, it would be twice the size of what I have today....a 17 foot Toyota Mirage.
I absolutely LOVE my VISTA. I love the drive, I love the layout, I love the size and the gas mileage. Only thing I don't like, is trying to find a place to service it, as it has a VW engine, but the Winnebago piece makes it hard for VW dealers to service it in their garage. Having said that, I am thinking of selling it. 2004 with less than 6500 miles!
So, is a vista recommended or not? What are they worth and is there is list of common problems.
I do not plan on driving the mh like a sports car. And who can repair the beast?( I do not want to get stuck in Mississippi.)
After lots of searching..picked up a 02 Vista. Took it to New Mexico from S.Carolina right off the bat. No complaints about the 15 mpg either. A pleasure to drive. Love the MB diesel Sprinters.,but the VW cost less than half as much. TireRack.com has the OEM Continetal tires.
Do you have information where to order the tires that will fit your Vista? Are your present tires Continental? My tire dealer can find the size for back tires but not the front. I would appreciate hearing from you or anyone that can find size 195/65 R 16.
Are there any more comments about the 2003/04 Vistas or Sunstars?
There are a few for sale in our area.
I would prefer an 03/04 as they have the front seat armrests (and what else?).
Thanks, Larry
Winnebago Vistas, 21 feet, are hard to find. I searched for over three months trying to find one for sale near my home in San Antonio, Texas. I found one in Phoenix, Arizona. I picked it up 2/20/07 and drove it back to San Antonio. It has 15,000 miles and drives like car. It is well constructed and has very few rattles. It maintained it's speed going over the mountains in Arizona and New Mexico. The best part is that I averaged 18 miles per gallon on the trip back home. Not too bad considering the mountains. I would strongly recommend this vehicle. I know the tires are hard to find but they can be special ordered. The Volkswagen engine has all the power it needs and really runs smooth.
