I was in the same boat as you and wanted the fiberglass roof and I like the build quality of the older Winnebago units. I like the slides because they don't waste any time going in or out. The gear-driven slides are what I hear people have problems with. The slides on these units are hydraulic and very reliable. The basement air is nice because all the noise is under the bed and you don't have water draining off your roof. I've heard of people having trouble with their basement air, but I've heard of people having trouble with the roof air units also. It should be good for 5-7 years I would think. Don't stress the side caulk, the one I bought didn't have the maintenance done on that, and it took me about 3 hours and $30 worth of materials to remedy that. The fiberglass roof is standard on Winnebago Brave, Adventurer, Journey, etc. In the 12+ years we had our motorhome only about 18' of caulking had to be replaced.Īll Adventurers have had a fiberglass roof since they were introduced in 1992. Winnebago recommends inspecting the roof every 6 months and recaulking it as necessary. We never had a problem with the AC, slide, or roof. We put over 100,000 miles on our 2001 Adventurer 32V in a little over 12 years. Finding a Workhorse dealer that has the parts and is willing to do the job may be another question all together. Technically if they haven't been completed I believe they are still eligible. If they are involved and haven't been completed you may be spending some money to get them done. One thing to check out is to see if the Workhorse chassis for the years you're looking for was involved with the Auto Park parking brake problems or the recall for the Bosch service brakes. The longer models did have a bedroom slide. The only difference is that in 2001 there was no bedroom slide on the 32V. We had a 2001 Adventurer 32V on a Ford F53 chassis which is almost identical to the 2002 Adventurer. It's far less noisy than the roof air system, and has a single residential style air filter rather than a dozen or more foam rubber filters in the return ports. If service is necessary it can be performed by any technician that does residential AC work.

The basement air is in my opinion far superior to the newer roof air system. However they were very dependable and had very few in comparison to later models equipped with the Lippert/Schwintec systems. As with any mechanical moving part there can be problems. The 2002 - 2006 models used HWH hydraulic slides.

Earlier models didn't have a full wall slide, but rather had 1 or 2 smaller slides on the drivers side depending on the model. It uses the Lippert/Schwintec rack and pinion system to extend and retract the full wall slide. I don't think the Adventurer 32H was introduced until 2009.
