Vehicle description
There are basically two distinct kinds of RVers. There are those that want to get to their destination and spend time there. They are the ones that go to Florida in the winter and spend weeks, or even months at their destination. For those folks, the Winnebago Fuse is probably not the best choice of RV. A bigger class A or B or fifth wheel would probably serve better.
And there are the travelers who drive a couple hundred miles a day, stop for a day or two, then move on. They enjoy the journey as well as the destination. For these folks, the Winnebago Fuse offers much.
We"ve had the Fuse for a couple years now, and we fall into that second category. We like it for it"s wonderful driveability. The cruise control feature includes "smart" lane sensing on most highways and alerts the driver with a vibrating steering wheel if the vehicle wanders toward either edge of the lane. For mountainous driving the vehicle"s manual downshifting makes for great controlled engine braking without unnecessary brake wear. The rear view camera is great, but I have to keep in mind that vehicles I see back there are muuuuuch closer than they appear! And as long as I maintain a sensible speed of 60 or so, the fuel economy with this 5 cylinder diesel is a very respectable 16+ MPG. With past trailers I"ve owned, the best I ever hoped for was eleven MPG.
The Fuse"s relatively short length makes for great maneuverability. It"s easy to get around in supermarket and restaurant parking lots. The tight turning radius helps in those situations too. The side storage area (basement) is just adequate; I had to add a full width shelf which gives a little more space for outside stuff - tools, chairs, firewood, etc
There are no removeable propane tanks to rattle around. The onboard propane tank is easily recharged at all big truck service stations. It also seems to be a little less expensive than the loose tanks and certainly more convenient. Also very convenient is the onboard generator, which makes camping in the boonies more comfortable for us weenies.
For whatever reason, Winnebago did NOT provide a storage area for storage of the waste hose and coupling. The area they provided can store ONLY the hose, which means having to assemble and disassemble at the dump station, a likely messy chore. I added an external storage tube which rides on the top of the rear storage rack (see picture) so that when it is needed, it is already fully assembled.
Inside, we appreciate that both TVs are powered by converters (12V DC to 110V AC) so that they are watchable when "off the grid". Of course, in that situation there is usually no signal, so we revert to the DVD player (which, incidentally, plays on BOTH the front TV and the smaller flat screen in the bedroom).
As I think of more things I will add them,
Happy RVing! Don
