| Description of the problem | My 2015 winnebago view g with a cab over bed. Has a occc of 960 lbs i looked at the load a small car can carry. 2010 vw new beetle 865 lbs 2010 nissan sentra 1,088 2010 audi a 4 1,257 2010 kia sportage 1,332 2015 wgo view g cab over 960 lbs. This is a motor home with a 31 gallon water tank, a 6 gallon hw tank, seating for 4. Many storage compartments,over 41 cubic feet of outside storage and maybe the same inside with a good size refer. I can carry more weight in spec in small cars than the view g??? My concern is my view is over weight. I would expect all view g like mine are always over weight. A family of four going on a trip will on average be well over 1000 lbs over weight. Yes there is a sticker that says 960 lbs. A person will use the large storage to pack for a trip. Fill the water tanks, food, clothes, beading, and stuff. Winnebago has built a motor home that while very nice, its by nature unsafe. I would expect that all views g like mine are over weight. This is a huge safety issue with a large number of the most popular model, winnebago had to know that you can't build a motor home that has less occc than most small cars. Please issue a recall for this winnebago view g cab over bunk. |
