I can take it anywhere, during warm months anyway. This one is to me not much more than an interesting showpiece that could be slept in occasionally.īTW, I own a 36′ diesel pusher from 1991. That one WAS capable of long-term travel/living. It had so many features not included in the Winnie. It was a BBC (replaced by a PO), returned between 6 and 9 mpg, depending on the terrain and wind direction. My son took it from Michigan on a 9000 mile route through national parks, and up into Canada, with others joining for parts of the journey. I bought for $5K, and spent a couple of weeks and quite a few $ getting it ready for a real road trip. I just sold a short (27′) low-miles 1985 Itasca a couple of months ago. Seriously, rainbows are interfering with the vision of anyone bidding with the thought of using it for extended travel. Way less utility for the originally intended use than a car of the same vintage.
rentals topping 4 figures/ month, it might not be so foolish. People are chucking it all, and actually living in these things, especially here in Colorado, and you know, for $5 grand, and apt. I’m a bit surprised at the bidding, most of these end up at monster truck shows, and with bidding over $5g’s, I doubt that’s what will happen to this. They were all Dodge, as the dash is right out of an A100. Handled like a whale, rode like a truck ( it is essentially a straight truck frame and drive train) gallons per mile fuel economy, and some tense moments will be had in a stiff crosswind, but negatives aside, these ushered in a new age of camping, the motorhome. My dad liked it because, it was load and go. It was my dad’s 1st motorhome after the travel trailer, and all those fiascos. On to the Winne, my parents had a small Winnebago just like this.
We’re all bozos on this bus.( Firesign Theater 1971) I get a lot of my info off Wiki, and if it’s incorrect, please, politely let me know, and I’ll try to do the same. Ok, then, some may notice the red “member” dealybob again, that’s right, and now that I’m a member, I’m going to say,you can agree or disagree with me and that’s cool. This one is happily in the middle, and could be a good deal if the reserve is fair.

Demand for vintage campers is all over the map, with some listed as free to get them off of private property to others being fully restored and demanding six figures.
Water intrusion can be an issue on any old R/V, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem here. The cooking equipment and living accommodations seem quite clean, impressive considering they look to be original to the Winnebago. The seller notes this Class A motorhome runs and drives great, so presumably, some maintenance has been done to keep it in tune. The straightforward controls should be pretty simple to master if you’ve never driven an R/V before, and that reasonable wheelbase will again be an asset for getting over any first-time voyage jitters. The interior is in fine shape, and provides some comfort that the low mileage may, in fact, be genuine. Some of these came equipped with 318s which were likely pretty gutless when responsible for motivating something this large, so the 440 should remedy that while being just as easy to work on. The wheelbase is a slightly subjective quality, but it just seems ideal both proportionally and for parking in random parking spots while on the road. This Brave model has more than a few things going for it, including the 20 foot length and 440 V8 power on board. The Winnebago is listed here on eBay with bids to over $5K but with the reserve still unmet. The Brave has just over 60,000 original miles and is said to run well and have clean confines for the four warm bodies that can sleep in it to enjoy. This 1972 Winnebago Brave 20RD motorhome is said to be in fine shape, certainly an outlier when it comes to vintage homes on wheels.
