Excellent coach. 400hp Cummins make easy work of mountain grades even pulling a full size pick-up. IFS makes for easy steering even in high winds. Basement air and 7.5KW generator mean you can always have a cooled down coach for camping even on the hottest days. Kitchen is large and well laid out with the 4 door reefer opposite. Sliding doors allow separating the coach into 3 spaces, living, bath, and bedroom. This is particularly nice when traveling with guests. Storage is awesome and little amenities like lighted storage spaces, auto extend/rewind for the power cable, central vacuum, and fantastic fans all make this a particularly nice coach. The water and dump compartment is well engineered and allows you to leave the hoses always connected making dumping a breeze.

The Journey is aptly named. We love our Motorhome and have had 70,000 miles of many great Journeys in it. The 36 is a perfect size for accessibility to most all parks, yet it has plenty room.

The Journey is aptly named. We love our Motorhome and have had 70,000 miles of many great Journeys in it. The 36 is a perfect size for accessibility to most all parks, yet it has plenty room. Compared to new models, we like the simplicity of this model. If we could buy a new one, exactly like it, we would do it. The only change we would make is the queen size bed it a bit tight for us. The next coach will have a king bed. We did not have any warranty issues so that category should really have an NA. We did travel to Winnebago twice for factory updates ( new tv and motion satellite) and repairs. This was a very good experience. Maybe somewhat costly, but compared to running the Motorhome all over for various disciplines, the one stop service and knowing work is done correctly is worth the cost. And while there, take the tour. It’s an impressive company with interesting history.

This rig drives amazingly. The layout in the cabin is wonderful for traveling and entertaining family. Roomy enough for a couple of grandsons. Bought the coach for my husband as a part of his bucket list. Unfortunately he passed and no fun traveling alone. Great coach with all the bells and whistles of a luxury rig at less than one quarter the price. Well maintained, clean and tows and drives like a dream.

We have lived in this RV for 2 years, it is very spacious with lots of storage for just about everything you need, all the amenities of a Fine Home. I found driving it was a Great experience, it handles very well, you’ve got a full 180 Degree view of the road and surroundings ahead of you, I did install 2 Led flood lights to my back up lights which made it way better when backing up was needed or just attaching or taking off your second vehicle. We travelled all over the southern US even on some narrow and winding high mountain roads....No Problem

We are not selling this RV because of a dislike or a problem with the unit. We love the floor plan that is roomy and spacious and can accommodate a lot of people hanging out and enjoying the RV experience. There really is not anything that we disliked about the unit. We believe that Winnebago makes the best RVs on the road. From the switch that makes the couch into a bed to the electrical system and other aspects, you feel comfortable with the system. We have had nothing but good experiences with this unit. We have driven it in windy, cold, and hot weather and it has been to sea level and into the mountains with no mechanical issues. We are not selling it because of a dislike and I would and do recommend this unit to anyone who is interested in a great used RV at a very reasonable price. Health is the reason for this need to sell. We welcome questions about this unit.

My first diesel motorhome. Previous gas model was a 1988 Winnebago 30ft. I bought the Winnebago diesel based on my experience with the 1988. So far I have been very pleased with it. I tow a 2004 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and the rig doesn't even know it's there. It's also much more comfortable to drive than the '88. Course being much heavier, longer and newer makes a lot of difference. Parts are still available which is a bif plus. The only big item I don't like is the headlights. They put out very little light even with halogen bulbs. The light pattern is terrible. I may eventually put on some auxiliary driving lights, or, just stop earlier in the evening so I don't have to drive at night. Over all I would would rate the rig a 7 out of 10.
