Roaming Times thinks the Winnebago Via is a really well thought out motorhome with many innovative features.  We show pictures of the interior of the Winnebago Via 25R model above and below - looking to the rear above and to the front below..
  
 
Winnebago Via class A motorhome - interior looking to front

All three Winnebahgo Via models are spacious. The full-wall slide on the 25R (shown in the 2 pictures above) creates a big wide open feeling.

The innovative "StudioLoft" turns the cab area into a second bedroom with a large bed that drops down from the ceiling. It is available in the 25R and 25T and includes a wraparound curtain for privacy:

The 25T features the Flex Bed system that allows you to easily convert the twin beds into a single queen bed, depending on the number of travel companions.

Caroline TBeautiful. I really like the extra bed over the cab, just like a class C. I think I'd much rather have this than a C and I like the fact that it's diesel.
CurtisI just got the new Via and I love it. The swivel seat, the room, outside storage and ofcourse the gas milage is top notch
StefIs it true that the Via & Reyo only have ONE door? No driver or passenger door?? Has anyone seen this in person? All I've seen are the photos & videos on Winnebago's web site. Seems to me like it would be a safety issue.Otherwise I love the configurations. Prefer maple cabinetry but that's just me. :>)
haroldI like the idea but the price is height. the bed over the drivers seat is an old idea used in a german mh years ago.
SkipJWhere will owners of Sprint based RV's get service now that Dodge will no longer be selling them, after Jan 1st? Can Mercedes dealers handle motor homes?
Rory BlenkinI really think this is nice. 15mpg sounds good to me. I'm stuck with a 7mpg gas guzzler I've been trying to sell for 2 years. When I get the money I think I'll go for this. The long slideout model is the one I would prefer but I'm not sure about the fact that the one on the inside has to climb over the one on the outside during the night. Maybe the other model is better.
Curtis I've had 2 winnebagos and 1 itasca and I liked them. I was thinking of going for a class B maybe the Winnebago ERA because I was thinking class A's are too big. But this is smaller and looks really good. Going to look at it. Thanks for the review.
porscheracerWe have an '08 View 24H, as well as an '05 Winnebago Vectra 36RD. Each is the best of its world. The View, although somewhat cramped compared to a larger unit, is the perfect "sprinter". It returns an honest 15MPG in mixed driving, and drives like a van. We have had it for 5 months, put 5000 miles on it, and have had exactly zero problems. Winnebago are great.
