AKIQPilot Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) It's essentially this same exact motorhome with only a few very slight differences. The one I bought is gone off the interwebs. http://www.southavenrv.com/rv/southaven+ms/winnebago+classagas/1910/blog Edited May 16, 2017 by AKIQPilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We leave AK tomorrow evening and head to Virginia to get it. The one we bought has 20,000 miles on it and about 4 options that the one in the link doesn't have. The one we bought doesn't have Alcoa wheels but I bought new Alcoas for it and am stopping in Columbus to have them put on. We are parking it in my wifes brothers shop in Southern Illinois for the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKIQPilot Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 26 minutes ago, Dave said: Real nice Tom...what kind of weight can it tow legally? Thanks Dave. It has a Class 4 hitch rated at 10k but can't tow nearly that much. Completely empty but with all fluids, 90 gal of water, 80 gal of fuel, 30 gal of propane and 600lbs worth of passengers it weighs 22,100lbs. Add 900lbs for groceries and gear and it brings you to 23,000 so that would leave 7000lbs as long as it wasn't over 1000lbs of tongue weight. If the coach is loaded to the max GVWR of 24k then it can legally tow 6000lbs with 500lbs of tongue weight. Ability wise it will tow much more than 6000lbs. My Alaska motorhome is a W22 chassis Winnebago with an 8.1 and Allison 5 speed and a Dana 130 with 5.69 gears and it has no problem what so ever pulling and stopping my jeep (7200 with trailer and firewood and gear) or my race trailer (8200 loaded with sleds, tools and race fuel). Both of those trailers have 4 wheel brakes and are very well maintained. But it's legal towing capacity is 5000lbs as calculated by the GCWR minus GVWR.

Winnebago Adventurers from about 2005 to 2010/12 are very good motorhomes. Even as old as 2002's are pretty darn good. They can be found all over the country for very reasonable money. The one we are picking up Thursday had an original sticker of $182,150. We paid $59,995 in very good condition. As part of the sale the seller (a dealer) put 6 brand new tires and 3 brand new batteries on it. I bought new Alcoas for it because I have always wanted a set of Alcoas. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motorhome already has Flat panel LED TV's but they are 4-5 years old so the big one in the front will get replaced with a 50 series smart TV. Probably no real weight difference between a new Smart TV and whats in the coach now. Alcoa wheels are just polished Aluminum Wheels. 30lbs lighter than the stock steel wheels but it's a bling thing. I've always wanted a set of real Alcoas since I bought my first Dually in 1988. The motorhome in the link Above has Alcoas on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are that much lighter each might help the fuel economy I guess maybe pay for themselves in time, I always thought you were a function over form guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got to old to keep driving it. Had 49K miles on it. We bought it with the intention of traveling around going UTVing. Then we started having kids in 2011. Put the MH on a seasonal site in northern WI. And it sat there for a few years. We bought a new destination/travel trailer last spring and parked it up north. Sold the MH to a friend that has an outfitter deal in northern Ontario. He uses it to travel around to all the sports shows. He spend like 10K on the wrap. I'll see if I can find a pic.

Legend Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 forgot to add, we had it for like 8 yrs, and only put on 4k miles. Yeah paying insurance on a MH and yearly registration was a waste if we weren't going to drive it....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the detailed info....The wife and I are kicking around the idea of a motorhome instead of another toyhauler...The toyhauler we bought last yr got written off because of rodent infestation while in storage....im thinking we would almost need a coach to be able to pull the kind of weight we would be looking at.
