Winnebago View 24D vs Tiffin Wayfarer 25RW

Winnebago · Class C

The difference that matters

Power systems decide this matchup, since the dimensions barely differ. Each is 25.7 ft with a 12,125 lb GVWR, one slide, four berths and a 2.0 L Mercedes turbo diesel. The View 24D is on a Sprinter 4500 RWD; the Wayfarer 25RW is on a Mercedes 4500 XD dual-wheel cutaway.

The View includes a 320 Ah Lithionics lithium battery with pack heating, charged by a dedicated 280 amp second alternator and two 120 W solar panels, plus a 2,000 W inverter. A generator is optional. The Wayfarer goes the other way, with a 3.2 kW generator standard, one 200 W solar panel, a 2,000 W Xantrex inverter and two lead-acid batteries, with 205 Ah lithium optional.

The View also brings hydraulic leveling, a Murphy+ queen, an induction and LP cooktop and a 5,000 lb tow rating, and it holds more waste water, 41 gal gray and black against 34 and 24.

Winnebago View 24D: Generator-free off-grid campers, as couples, who want lithium and alternator charging.
Tiffin Wayfarer 25RW: Hot days, a standard generator for A/C and a dual-wheel cutaway chassis, for couples.
