Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
New to this forum and I start off with a question about a 2008 Winnabago Destination 37G Gas Model on the Workhours Chassis.
Does anyone here own one of these and how has it been for you. What has been good and what has not? Anything you care to offer would be appreceated.
Then the $ question:
This is New, never licened, with it being almost three years old then, 2008,2009, & the 2010 are on the Winnebago web site, what would be a fair price to expect to pay for this?
37G Gas,Two Slides, Upgraded Paint, 4dr Refer, A/C with Heatpump(not sure what that means?), Electric Awning and more, Winnabago's MSRP is list at $164752. I do know that they are dropping this model from the 2010 line up, and I would think that this would have a negitive effect on the resale down the road.
I'm thinking at or below $100000, what do you all think?
The plan is to go Full time in this about Mid Year 2010 with the DW and I.
Would this be a good full time rig or would I be better off spending that kind of money on a quality used rig, somthing like say late 1990's (1998 or newer) Foretravel or equal?
I have no idea what that rig is worth, but I can tell you that a heatpump in the air conditioner means the a/c can both cool and heat. It allows you to use the a/c for heat (using electricity) rather than using your furnace and burning propane. The heatpumps can't be used all the time, mine do not work once the outside air temperature gets into the upper 30's.

Winnebago likes to put their A/C or heatpump units in the basement. Most others us rooftop units and add a heat strip to the A/C unit to give you that electric heat down to about 40 degrees. My only complaint about those is that they are louder than a propane furnace (in my case), but it's nice to use the campground's electricity rather than my propane, so I'm glad we have both.
