Selling 1997 Winnebago Rialta RD VR6 with 146 k miles. Floor plan is identical to QD. Generac generator with less than 100 hours. We have spent several thousand $$$ for parts and repairs: upper intake manifold, new spark plugs, EgR valve, ignition coil, spark plug wires, heavy duty wheel bearings, EGR temperature sensor, fuel pressure regulator, fuel injectors, fuel filter and other parts. Generator has been serviced and runs smoothly. New deep cycle coach battery, still under warranty.Transmission has been serviced with new fluid and transmission cooler has been installed. (receipts are available)
Engine and transmission work perfectly. The shop confirmed that it won’t be a problem to drive it with the check engine light on since its emissions related. Southwestern vehicle without rust. ScanGauge II included. Good brakes and tires.
This is the RD (QD) version of the Rialta which offers 2 beds and 4 captains chairs. Driver and 3 passengers are facing forward. Passengers in the rear face sideways. The rear captains chairs can be converted into another bed. RV cover included.
The bad: check engine stays on due to faulty EGR temperature reading. This doesn’t affect the engine’s performance but with the light on it won’t pass emissions.
Other issues:
-Grab handle at passenger side has been glued, very common problem.
- Ugly sealant around the windshield
- Faded and cracked graphics
- Small dent behind passenger side door
It is not a beautiful, flawless RV with shiny, sparkling
Paint but it has a good engine, transmission and generator. If you’re looking for a beautiful Rialta, this one is not for you.
