Too small and too expensive sums up my opinion.

My son and three of his friends, (big, strapping twenty-somethings), took a road trip in one parent's new Eurovan Winnebago last summer. 1000 miles down to the beaches in Southern Cal and back to Seattle. Their comments: too small for comfort on the road OR sleeping in, and TOO FAST with the V6 engine! Go figure--they must have scared themselves doing something stupid.

They took my Westy on a weekend trip last month for a destination about 8 hours away on mostly winding two lane county roads. They are Vanagon fans now and will not take the Eurovan on any long trips again as long as they can get the Westy. It is simply the best and most versatile camper ever built, and it's a tragedy that VW gave up on it.
