Just looked at a Sunstar Class A. I think it is 29 VE model. How is the warranty and service. Are they good RV?
Yes, Winnebago makes a quality coach and has a good warranty and good factory support. We have not had problems getting our Winnie serviced around the US in our travels, but some dealers are competent and some are not. There have been times when I had to get Winnebago Owner Relations involved to get an issue taken care of. While under warranty I sometimes had a dealer tell me "Winnebago won't cover that," but when I contacted Winnebago Owner Relations, they did in fact cover it either partially or completely. Some of my contacts with them were by phone, many were by email with pictures.
This has a full driver side slide. Are they prone to problem.
Winnebago had a problem with slide mechanisms in recent years ...Schwintek was the brand I believe. Hopefully a current owner of the current model can tell you how they are now.
The dealer is offering to add fans to the top vents. Is that a good idea? he will include the covers that are direcional
Unless something has changed, Winnebago coaches come with roof vents with fans in the vent. I did add vent covers
over mine. ...or are you talking about the black/grey tank vents?? My coach has only one combined tank vent and I added an Xtreme vent (venturi type).
How are they at towing? I want to get some kind of small car or Jeep to runaround it.
Just be sure you know the towing capacity of the coach and hitch, and stay within those limits.
I also plan on boondocking
If you want to do a LOT of boondocking, you will likely want to add several good solar panels to the roof and more storage batteries. The solar panel that comes on the coach from the factory (most/all Winnies do I believe) is very minimal in what it will do for you ....mine won't even keep the batteries charged up when in storage with nothing running.
Enjoy the adventure!!
