I might be a Winnebago Owner!!

I will find out on Tuesday of next week, if I won a bid on a Class C 2007 Winnebago Aspect 26A through an auction service for repos. This will be my first RV and if I win the bid, I do believe I made a wise choice as Winnebago's have a superb reputation and resale value.

Since I'm not getting this from a dealer or owner that could walk me through and educate me on the unit, where might I get that kind of education? Since I've never owned one before I am not familiar with the lingo, how things work, etc. As far as driving the unit, I did find some RV driving schools that I may look into.

Thank you in advance for your input.

Did you or someone knowledgeable with rv's check the unit prior to bidding? Things I would look for would be:
Do all the appliances work including refer (on gas and electric), A/C, furnace, water pump, etc.

Then the chassis...

Good luck with a winning bid.

There are a lot of books and DVDs on getting to know your new RV. Here is a good source, RV Bookstore , many are also available on-line. .

If you do win the bid I hope all is as you desire. Be sure and contact Winnebago and register as a second owner and you might consider joining the Winnebago Itasca travelers (WIT) a travel club sponsored by the factory which has local chapters which meet routinely for campouts and various other activities.

This a great forum and again good luck on your bid.

I thought this was gonna be a Jeff Foxworthy "You might be a Winnebago owner IF . . ."

You can never remember if its two Ns or two Gs in Winebaggo . . . You might be a Winnebago owner!

Sorry you didn't win the Aspect, they are a great motorhome, I know, we have one.
If you come across another one and have specific questions feel free to PM me, I'll be happy to answer any I can.
