Re: towing behind a Winnebago (VW) Vista
Well with all the feedback, that answers my question. After spending time with our Vista on the road this last week, we probably shouldn't ever need to tow a vehicle. It handles similar to my SUV, has better brakes and the turning radius is smaller than my SUV . . . and more than 200 horse power ! We drove it in very tight areas - one wouldn't dream of trying with a large RV unit. It is very sad that Winnebago stopped producing these units and switched to the Mercedes (Dodge) SPRINTER platform, these units (View) are top heavy and have complete different handling characteristics as someone mentioned in their experiences above. I assume it was alot more cost effective for WINNEBAGO to switch production to the Mercedes platform, which leave alot to be desired comparing the craftsmanship and the quality to the VW chassis - Oh by the way, we only get about 13 - 14 MPG with ours . . . but thats continuously cruising at 75 MPH, even up hill. If anyone can find one, they're great units - alot more room and functionality than the RIALTA models, especially if you want a functional bathroom with a shower! :bleh:
