  • Great info about Class B pricing

    Really got a lot of info re: high pricing of class Bs. Bought last year a used 2018 Winnebago Paseo 45P and really happy with it. Used is way to go for budget minded people since more affordable and all the things which can go wrong probably already did go wrong
