Our motorhome, aka “La Casita” (our name for her), is a 2017 Winnebago Sunstar, Model 29VE, which we purchased used in February of 2018.
La Casita is 30’ – 3” long, 12’ – 2” tall, and weighs about 17,000 pounds.
She is built on a Ford F-53 motorhome chassis with a V-10 gas engine (nowadays, all gas-powered motorhomes are built on Ford F-53 chassis, ever since Workhorse/Chevy got out of the motorhome chassis business in 2012). She has an 80-gallon gas tank, and gets about 8 MPG.
She has one full-side (driver’s side) slide that is 21” deep.
She has a kitchen, couch, dinette, a bathroom with a shower, a bedroom with a queen bed, driver’s and passenger’s chairs that swivel to face backwards, and an outdoor kitchen and TV.
She is equipped with self-levelers, a motorized awning, a 1000-watt inverter, a 4000-watt generator, a 13,500 BTU air conditioner, propane range, water heater and furnace, and a propane/electric refrigerator. She also has fresh, grey, and black water holding tanks.
We’ve added a 450 amp-hour battery bank, a second inverter rated at 3,000 watts, and a 525-watt solar charging system.
We tow our 2010 Honda Accord behind our motorhome. For this, we installed on the Honda a tow-bar base plate, a towed-car braking system, and a lighting harness, and installed on the motorhome a tow bar and a rock guard.
