Winnebago Intent Test Drive

We were really not impressed with the Winnebago Intent. The interior is cheap and spartan. It has no LP on the fridge, only electric. It does not have solar panels to help with keeping the battery charged. It does not have a gravity fill for the water tank. Most of the niceties in our '94 brave are missing. Really it is the most basic rig you could imagine. But we love the length of 26'10" so decided to test drive.

The turning radius was excellent. It easily fit in one parking spot with plenty of room behind if you choose the right one. Probably need to take 2 to get back out again. It seemed stable on the expressway.

But it was the most rattly squeaky rig we have ever test driving. It was so noisy that we could barely talk to each other when accelerating on the expressway. The screen next to the passenger window was so ill fitting not only did it rattle but it would never be sealed against mosquitoes. It barely could accelerate empty. It has 2252 lb ccc. From which you would subtract 449 for a full tank of water. So Ok. Not great but not bad.

The front seat was comfortable but a little low to lean your head back. The dinette foam seemed OK. The queen bed does not fold when the slide is in which is a big plus. The bed is not too high, we think our dog could jump on it.
