Reader Tip
This issue's Reader Tip comes from Itasca Meridian owner Polly Hjelt of Mesa, Arizona, who writes:
"When we were making plans to go full time, I had to come up with a plan for all the little stuff. Six clear plastic shoe boxes, stacked in twos, fit into one overhead bin, each box containing items like sewing supplies, desk items or extension cords. I placed a list of the contents at the end of each box. Two others, holding camera equipment, batteries, binoculars, etc., went in the forward bin."
Thanks, Polly -- and be sure to watch your mailbox for a small token of our esteem!

 Front Page News Pick up the January issue of MotorHome magazine and you'll find our own 2012 Winnebago View 24M right there on the cover, and a detailed road test inside. After putting the 24M though its paces, MotorHome concluded: "With its reliable Mercedes-Benz Sprinter diesel chassis and remarkable fuel mileage also considered, this efficiently arranged coach should make an excellent camper as well as an agile, trustworthy touring vehicle." Our sentiments exactly. Find the complete review here, or look for MotorHome at your local newsstand. And be sure to check out the 24M at your nearest dealer. |
