2018 Winnebago Fuse reviews

Have owned numerous RV's in my life and really like the Winnebago and Grand Design brands. Looked for over a year and thought the Leisure Travel Van Wonder was the ultimate choice until I found out it would take 2 years to get one and there was no guarantee of pricing or delivery time. As far as I'm concerned the Fuse is a brilliant RV, easy to drive, very livable floorplan, lots of technology, great and I mean great fuel mileage, was averaging 18 miles to the gallon. The Ford Transit chassis and the powerful diesel engine is so smooth, smart and comfortable. We thought we would need a toad but quickly realized we didn't. A couple of bicycles work just great. The queen bed on the slide out is really easy to manage and very comfortable! Love the dinette that turns into a work station during the day and another comfortable bed at night. The bathroom with stand up and very roomy shower is really nice and there is an outdoor shower too and hand to wash lots of gear. I think Winnebago stopped making the Fuse when they decided to build the Ekko, but for me the Fuse it a complete winner! Show less

This is our second year with our Fuse and we love it. Why? We love the mileage (17 mpg). We love the drive ability...drives like a van & we can even go thru most drive-thru windows while traveling. Putting 6,000 miles on each summer (FL to Northern Wisconsin so we have done the Smoky Mountain thing with no problem) and have had no major problems. Love the split bunks for sleeping...more comfortable than MANY beds at motel we have slept on. We check our ATS each time we start out to make sure all connections are tight and to date have not had a problem. We did drag bottom once and now look each time and approach diagonally (no leaf or Sumo springs). Only improvement could be basement storage....hard to fit some items and they have had to stay home. Love the storage area under the passenger-side bunk (keep my spring water, potatoes, onions, spare towels, Featherweight sewing machine & material, & miscellaneous items here. Love our 2018-A Fuse!! (Our first RV was a 29’ Gulf Stream BT Cruiser) Show less

Runs smooth, drives easily, works well. Did have a few issues like noisy side door at high speed and seat back loose. Took it in and they fixed it under warranty. Great since. I have used it for 3 to 5 day trips. Will try longer this winter. Show less

!st motor home, 5th wheel formerly. Big disappointment. My Winnebago Lemon. On delivery, no water pump, no TV, no radio, no generator, no radio, miles speedo instead of kilometers is a safety concern, road noise from cabin door is extreme, dust protection is poor, exhaust drags on curbs, rear drags with minor surface grades, difficulty loading sat radio, blind spot camera has minimal value, re-motes for tvs are not specific to each TV, drawers open during transit, blind faulty,latches are flimsy. Driving is great, it handles very well and the ford diesel earns praise. GPS is good. Front TV does not rotate as expected and could be considered a safety issue. I may have missed other concerns. I have been surprised that some Winnebago staff seem uninterested in dealing with legitimate problems. Show less
