Step by Step

A good place to start will be with your RV, whatever that might be. Do a search to see if there is already a page devoted to your year, make, model and trim. For example: 2008 Winnebago Sightseer 35J.

If not, you can start a new page using that search. On the empty page you can type:

The most obvious features of this floorplan is the king size bed and the set of bunkbeds. There are two slides, one on each side. Seating includes driver and co-pilot chairs, a lounge chair located directly behind the co-pilot (no restraints). On the driver's side there is a sofa with two seat belts that unfolds into a queen sized bed as well as a dinette with seating for four that converts into a small queen (three restraints). Still on the driver's side next is the master control board just outside the bathroom door. The bathroom is next, it includes toilet, vanity and sink as well as a shower. Finally there is the king sized bed in the master bedroom at the rear. On the passenger (or curbside), starting at the front is the coach entry door and step well. The kitchen is next, starting with the sink, stove and then refrigerator. Next is the slideout, which includes the bunkhouse and wardrobe in the master bedroom. |fixtures= There is a two bay kitchen sink with faucet (no sprayer or separate water filter). The bathroom has a plastic toilet, small sink and faucet (poorly placed and cheaply made) and a generously sized shower stall with badly hung doors and cheaply made valve and shower head. |appliances= There is a small, fisher-price "easy-bake" microwave oven over the three-burner gas stove and oven combination adjacent to the two-door refrigerator. |coach= |exterior= The Sightseer comes equipped with a [[Dometic]] manual awning |paint= [http://www.rvwiki.org/images/b/b8/2008.Sightseer.Paint_Codes.pdf Paint Codes] |sealants= [http://www.rvwiki.org/images/4/4e/08_d_sealant.pdf Sealants Callout Sheet] {{2008_sightseer_sealants}} |storage= |interior= |coach_electrical= |coach_plumbing= |chassis_section= [[Kwikee]] [[Kwikee Series 3000|Series 3000]] leveling system.
