Winnebago View For Sale

Winnebago View For Sale                                                                       

I'm selling my 2007 Winnebago View model 23H. This was purchased new and I have the title in hand. There are just over 23,000 miles on the odometer...a fraction of that on the trailer. It has been garaged kept, has never been smoked in and has had many upgrades as shown below. I purchased the motorhome with every available option Winnebago offered except one...the kitchen sink water filter. The motorhome has the LP generator and waste water tank heaters installed. I am asking 57,500 for the motorhome. I also have a small enclosed cargo trailer set up to carry two dual sport bikes and or general gear. I'm asking an additional 2,500 for the trailer, and I will sell the trailer separately. The motorhome is located in Lexington, Virginia. You can call or email me for further information.

The drivers side. I didn't think much of the graphics package Winnebago put on the View, so I removed all the stickers on both sides. I did leave the two grey triangular shaped pieces at the bottom. I thought they looked like mountains and kinda liked them...so I left them on there.

The passenger side.

cab.jpg

 

Looking forward towards the cab.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

door_weather_seal.jpg

 

In this picture you can see the second piece of door seal I installed which greatly reduces the noise level in the cab while cruising down the road.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

blind_spot_mirrors.jpg

 

I added the blind spot mirrors which did not come standard on the View. These really improved the vision to the rear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tank_rinsers.jpg

 

I added tank flushing jets to both the grey water and black water tanks. The hook ups are permanently installed under the drivers side access panel with the rest of the sanitation hook ups and dump valves. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

gravity_fill.jpg

 

The gravity fill option was discontinued in this model year View, so I added a gravity fill port which allows for a second method to fill up the fresh water tank. This comes in real handy when you're boondocking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

solar_panel.jpg

 

I added a 135 watt Kyocera solar panel on the roof. The mount is a custom aluminum system which allows the panel to be tilted inline with the View to better catch the sun during the winter months. The controllers are from Blue Sky and I'll talk about them on the interior pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

garmin.jpg

 

I added a Garmin marine GPS antenna to the roof. The cable is routed to the left side A pillar right in front of the driver which allows for a heads up type mounting of the GPS. I ran a marine model 276C.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

suspension.jpg

 

I improved the handling of the chassis by adding the heavier sway bar, the extra leaf springs and air bag relocation kit from Upscale Automotive. This greatly reduced the side to side sway of the rear end which really improved the front end behavior going down the interstate. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

transmission_cooler.jpg

 

I added an additional transmission cooler, also from Upscale Automotive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

resonator_eliminator.jpg

 

I added the well documented Turbo Resonator Eliminator. You can read about this upgrade here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

macerator_circuit.jpg

 

I added a 20 amp circuit tied directly to the house batteries in order to power a macerator in the plumbing bay.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

macerator.jpg

 

Here's the macerator hooked up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7_prong_trailer_receptacle.jpg

 

I added a seven prong trailer receptacle which is linked to the brake controller installed in the storage bay between the cab seats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

brake_controller.jpg

 

The brake controller is installed in the storage bay between the cab seats. There is also a Trik-L-Start engine battery charger installed here. The View was always garaged when not being used and obviously the solar panels were not effective so this charger maintained the engine battery when the View was stored and plugged into shore power. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

mb_rebadge_front.jpg

 

The chassis has been rebadged up front to Mercedes Benz. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

mb_rebadge_rear.jpg

 

Also rebadged out back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

batteries.jpg

 

I upgraded the batteries to two 6 volt Trojan 145's which are tied to both the solar panel and the chassis engine alternator.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3_way_battery_boost_switch.jpg

 

I replaced the OEM 2 way battery boost switch with a 3 way version in order to have the option of not using the engine alternator for charging the house batteries. The solar panel and charge controller provide a healthier charge to the house batteries and it's nice to be able to only use the engine alternator if really needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

swivel_seats.jpg

 

I added swivel seat adapters to both the driver and passenger side seats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

outdoor_shower_setup.jpg

 

I added a longer shower hose to the exterior shower wand and repositioned the holder to the side of the View so I could take outside showers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

kitchen_soap_dispenser.jpg

 

I added a liquid soap dispenser to the kitchen sink.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

bathroom_soap_dispenser.jpg

 

I also added a liquid soap dispenser to the bathroom sink.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

closet_shelves.jpg

 

I added a set of adjustable shelves to the bathroom closet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

stove_cover.jpg

 

I built a stove top cover to increase the available counter space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3_way_charger_controller.jpg

 

I replaced the original 2 stage battery charger with a higher quality 3 stage battery charger. You can see the optional manual stage selector here in this photo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

towel_bar.jpg

 

I installed an assortment of additional towel bars and coat hooks, like this one over the refrigerator.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

solar_controllers.jpg

 

The Blue Sky battery charger and controller are installed in the side bulkhead of the upper cabinet right at the cabin side door.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

controller_backer.jpg

 

The back side of the Blue Sky controls has been finished off with a removable wood panel that allows for the necessary ventilation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tv_swivel_mount.jpg

 

I added a swivel mount for the TV to keep it up out of the way and not partially block the window as it was originally installed by Winnebago. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dinette1.jpg

 

I modified the forward dinette seat back to be removable so that a tall adult could comfortably sleep on the dinette bed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dinette2.jpg

 

The table is lowered and the cushions placed in bed mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dinette3.jpg

 

The four quick pins are removed and the seat back is taken off so that long legs can stretch out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dinette4.jpg

 

A close up of the mahogany struts and quick pins I made to facilitate removing the seat back. You can also see the mahogany trim pieces I installed where I cut the original seat back into two pieces

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tuning_module

 

I installed a Single Channel Tuning Module from Upscale Automotive. The module increases both horsepower and fuel ecomnomy.The module is that grey plastic box attached to the windshield wiper fluid reservoir. You can read about the module here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

with_trailer

 

I also have an all aluminum enclosed trailer that I sometimes used to pull two motorcycles behind the View. The trailer only weighs 750 pounds and can be sold as a package with the View or separately.The trailer was customized with the addition of brakes which the manufacturer usually does not add to this size trailer. Here's the trailer manufacturers website. My trailer is the 5 x 8 single axle cargo trailer.

trailer_interior.jpg

 

The interior of the trailer. I've installed two wheel chocks for carrying motorcycles that easily install and uninstall with twist pins. I also installed eight tie down D rings to strap the motorcycycles in.

Here's a picture of the removable wheel chocks.
