2023 Winnebago reviews

Tow great. Slide needed repair, furnace was replaced. For the water connection the cheapest clamps were used, all were replaced. Water heater didn't work, has been repaired and now for the 2nd time doesn't work. Water pump cheapest one installed from factory I just got replaced. Wood panels look good but that's it. They are covered with some kind of a cheap film. Quality wise a poorly build trailer. Should have bought a Canadian made camper. DON'T BUY WINNEBAGO Show less

We took delivery of this the day I retired on March 31 of 2023. We were not able to camp due to a late spring until Memorial Day weekend. One cannot begin to describe the frustrations we've had with this unit - and I talked my wife into it based on what historically had been Winnebago quality and reputation. The welds on the spare tire carrier were failing, so that was recalled. We had the spare in the back of the truck for weeks. The back-splash behind the sink was cut too big around the window and the adhesive loosened up when it got warm and it bubbled away and off the wall. The cheap metal T-pin on the fridge (a rod with rubber caps to 'hold' the doors in place) rattled apart and the contents of the fridge fell out and broke all over the floor. The non-propane DC fridge and 200-watt solar panel fried the 12v battery within the first 17 hours of the three-day weekend. The shower wall assembly wasn't caulked and had a 1/4" gap along the back wall and leaked all over the floor. We had almost no water pressure at the kitchen sink; I tore out the panel where the water pump was and found the hose was installed with a twist/kink in it, preventing water flow. On a trip to the U.P. on a washboard-gravel road, when we got to the campsite, there was sawdust all over along the baseboards, countertops, etc. Apparently sweeping/vacuuming sawdust during the construction process is not a thing any longer An interior trim piece on the slide out fell off. The relays for the DC wiring failed and we had to cut our Independence Day camping trip short due to having no lights, no fridge, no nothing. The solar will NOT keep up with the GE model DC fridge, so you cannot do any rustic camping. The dealership said, "Well, you have to park in the sun for it to keep up." I replied, "Right. Then it heats up to 95 degrees inside the camper, and I have to get my generator out anyway to run the A/C to be able to sleep in it." The integrated window blind in the entrance door fell apart and the accordion folds fell to the bottom - no more privacy. More recently (March of this year), the Lippert slide failed to extend while we were camping in Lakeland, FL. Took me two days to trouble-shoot that; I finally overrode it with jumper wires at the control module buried under the dinette slide. (You can't get into the fridge with the slide in.) We've had it just two years and nearly EVERY trip we've taken, something else falls apart. Admittedly, some of it is the fault of the component manufacturers - Lippert (slide), GE (fridge) Go-Power (Solar) and whomever manufactured the spare tire carrier, etc. Winnebago has been kind of like, 'whatever' about my complaints. Our dealership is reasonably good, but I'm a do-it-yourself type and when camped in a remote campsite in the middle of nowhere, I've chosen to address many things on-the-spot rather than ruin our trips hauling it to a dealership or whatever. We're currently looking at other new RV's, but are missing the days of our nearly bullet-proof 1985 Nomad 5th wheel we'd had for 20+ years. Show less

Sucks balls, AC don't work, heater don't work l, both trip breaker, water pump froze first time out. Tows well, micro works on 110 fridge works well other than that it's not worth the price. Easy to get into rugged places, high of ground so it don't bottom out, Show less

I bought this unit to live in full time, I've had a few issues. 1st, the Dometic 310 toilet would not hold water in the bowl. Turns out the seal would not fit properly due to a manufacturing flaw. 2nd, the water bypass valve has a leak. Since I'm on the road (Washington State), and not in Utah. I had to take it to an authorized Winnebago dealer. It's called Awesome RV, in Chehalis WA. They have been great, my only issue is Winnebago. They authorized the work (all warranty of course), but will not allow the dealers to purchase parts in their local area. Winnebago has to ship the parts themselves, and that's where the problem begins. The toilet, and the bypass valve are available right here in Washington. It took almost 3 weeks for them to ship these items. The valve came it with the wrong fittings, the dealer is now looking locally to find fittings. The toilet is yet to show up. All the while, I'm scrambling to find affordable housing until it's ready. My overall thought is this, my trailer seems to be built pretty good, there seems to be issues with some the parts they install. Awesome RV has been great to work with. I think Winnebago needs to address issues on their end. Allow the dealers to get the owners unit repaired and back onthe road. It would save me a lot of time and money. I wasn't planning to be in Washington as the rainy season begins. I like to be south where it's warmer. And dry. Show less

Rough and rugged with all the comforts of home. Small for towing but with a pull down bed and two couches it sleeps FOUR! The beds stow away for a roomy toy hauler. Includes a full kitchen, bath and shower inside. Incredible design to fit it all in, and tall enough to stand up! We absolutely loved the big double toy hauler doors and added a custom screen to enjoy the view. Solar panels already installed keep the fridge cold for boon docking, with the option of shore power and water when you prefer more luxury. Show less

After traveling in my Winnebago Voyage 3235 RL for 4 months, I can confidently say I would recommend any of my friends against Winnebago. In the few short months I've owned the unit: - The slides are already rusted as is the rest of the metal exposed underneath. - Boards are separating from the kitchen island. - Both slide outs have leaked, and the ceilings above and walls around are now rippled from the water damage. - Kitchen sink leaked. - Shower leaked from around the unsealed door as well as the drain. - There are nails that completely missed the boards they're supposed to hold. - Floor flexes uncomfortably near the rear when walking across it. - Screws have fallen out of the trash can. - Shower wall isn't fitted properly and bulges out. - Wall above the bed isn't sealed and has a gap across it. - Tension pole to help lift the bed is broken. - The handle to empty one of the gray tanks has bent and broken. - Electric fireplace heater is making a loud whining noise when turned on - The fridge randomly stops working with an E3 error that also randomly stops, sometimes in a couple minutes, sometimes in a couple hours - The battery had to be replaced My one request for help from the dealer went unanswered, and Winnebago has no interest in working with me aside from telling me to go back to the dealer. Poor quality and poor customer service all the way around Show less

Below is a copy of my latest email to Winnebago. I bought a brand new bus that had manufacturing defects which led to severe water damage. We have decided the situation with this motorhome is beyond unacceptable. This is more than warranty work. It's not like this is our camper that we have been using and something went wrong. It is brand new. I have never used it. We purchased it new on April 24th knowing that there was a minor repair that we were told would be completed in less than a week. Here we are almost a month later and nobody even knows what's going on. These are the facts though. The whole passenger side front end of the bus is water damaged to the point that all the Luan is rotten. With mold and mushrooms growing out of the wall. The seals on the roof were not installed / applied correctly by Winnebago during manufacturing. The joint where the roof meets the sidewall in the area of the leak was not properly mated and sealed. These manufacturing defects caused serious water damage. I also picked up high moisture levels on all the walls by both slide outs. I'm waiting for general RV to peel that wall paper back to confirm water damage there too. There was no putty tape or silicone sealant on any of those joints so I expect the moisture reading to be correct and all that paneling to be water damaged also. I sealed them to mitigate further damage, but I suspect the damage has been done already. The coach is so waterlogged that I found mold and even mushrooms growing on the wall. I have photos of this disgusting problem. I'd like you to know that I'm not some wealthy person that can just blow this off. This purchase is a huge financial burden and was purchased as a living situation. I just retired after 24 years in the military and this was the next chapter in life. It has turned into a disaster. This is a brand new coach. I have never used it. It is rotten from water damage caused by manufacturing defects and lack of quality control. I paid for a brand-new coach, not this rotten POS. We want Winnebago to either, buy this bus back, replace it with a new undamaged unit like we paid for, or arrange for General RV to take this bus back and get us our old RV back and somehow fix the financial parts of this. Also, I would be surprised if nobody at General RV knew about this. I need to know right now if Winnebago is going to work with me or against me to get this resolved. I'm not okay with driving this 1600 miles back to the factory then waiting weeks or months for repairs then driving 1600 miles back. I bought a brand new camper. haven't used it, and this isn't a new camper issue or resolution. Show less

I was searching for this specific motorhome and floor plan. I was fortunate to find this offering relatively close to me. I visited the owners and they gave an excellent presentation showing all the features and conveniences the Winnebago ERA 70A has to offer and they are considerable. Their coach was literally “factory fresh” and “showroom clean”. It is a late model with hardly any miles on it. The owners graciously offer a test drive and it was a fantastic ride. Having owned and driven big Class A diesel pusher motorhomes over 100,000 miles, I was truly amazed at the comfort, smooth ride, and quiet ride the Mercedes Chassis provides. Sadly my circumstances changed and I was not able to complete the purchase. But make no mistake this motorhome is an incredible value with loads of warranty left to go. Show less

Love this RV. Love how we can park it anywhere yet comfortable to cook relax and sleep in. The absolute perfect vehicle in its class. The Mercedes ride is smooth sailing. Service at Mercedes has been above average. No problems with the Winnebago half . Ergonomically designed for inside days when it rains too. Show less

We purchased our Winnebago in August 2023. First problem: Dealer misadvertised the trailer with a 12-volt refrigerator. First day we owned the trailer, it had a water leak from the slide out. First trip we took: Recliner was broken, drawer under stove broke, desk (table) broke. Dealer took it in for warranty work and kept it for months. According to the Dealer, it took that time to get the repairs approved. We just got it back. Everything is repaired and we are hoping we are finished with the problems and now will be able to enjoy our camper after six months of problems. We thought we checked it out really well. But did not find these problems. Great floor plan but be careful of quality. Show less
