Winnebago Brave reviews

I love that they brought the retro look back for the 2015/2016 years. The bathroom is so roomy. The driver’s side full slide really opens the space up and makes it very livable. There are so many sleeping areas too, we bought ours from a family of 7. We lived in and traveled in this model for multiple years from Ohio to Colorado and Washington to Arizona. There were just two of us and our labrador so I would have preferred a table and chairs to the dinette, just for comfort. Show less

Loved the layout, was not planning on selling had everything repaired this motorhome is set to travel, everything works as it should. Has plenty of power, generator is nice when you don’t have electrical. I don’t believe you can find a motorhome this old and have everything working like new! Show less

A great RV in a small package. These years of Winnebago were very over-built with regard to not only structural integrity, but smart design and easy to use features. Winnebago's classic "interlocking" wall-to-roof design holds up for years. The fiberglass roof is more impervious to years of sun, wind, and rain (sometimes snow). Mine is on the Workhorse chassis and is great to drive, taking corners with ease and a great power to weight ratio when towing a car. The 30W makes the most out of the space given with 2 slides and very decent under bay storage. Corian countertops, solid wood cabinetry, and the vinyl plank flooring all hold up wonderful over time. I love this coach and especially these years of Winnebago. It's hard to match this quality today. When you find a good one in these years, keep it, it will treat you well. Show less

Bought a used 2004 32V Brave, Workhorse chassis. Engine has way more power than the Ford V10 and the Allison transmission shifts smoothly and doesn't rev as much as the Ford. Build quality is very good compared to other RV's we've owned. Cabinets are well made and don't squeak, solid oak and sturdy. Great support network from Winnebago and you can get complete wiring & plumbing files online. A huge help when making repairs. Previous owners installed a Banks exhaust, front and rear stabilizers. Drives super smooth with those features. Dashboard tilts up so it makes wiring new electronics easy. Tons of outside storage! The only complaints would be getting the spare tire in and out (no way to lift it, have to use a bottle jack) and there is a common leak above the driver side window which requires resealing every year. Very pleased with this RV! Show less

Winnebago is a quality made RV from the motor to the bedroom. It is very roomy and has a ton of storage inside and out for packing the whole family up for those bucket list trips.It's like a house on wheels. Show less

We loved our one year tour across America! Visited grandkids, National parks and made new friends! We started a new business and this was a fun way to visit dealers all across the country too! It took a couple weeks to go from a novice to a comfortable traveler. Once we got the setup process down we could set up in 10 minutes. Boondocking (not in RV park) was especially fun on the Beach at Malibu California. Show less

My wife and I lived full-time in our 2015 Winnebago Brave 26a Mellow Yellow with two lab mixes for 8 months traveling around the United States. What sold us on this RV more than anything was the exterior. The designers at Winnebago nailed it with this retro style! We loved everything about the aesthetic on the outside. Somehow they managed to make a retro look without going overboard. Even the Gen-Xers and Boomers had to double take to decide if it was a 1970s model or a new model. The interior carried over a little too much of the yellow accents for our taste, but we were easily able to reupholster some things to give it a more home-like look and feel. There was a ton of space to live even without a slide, and we enjoyed not having to worry about another moving part and the complications we've heard people have with their slides. The engine was reliable and never gave us any trouble. We left with 19k miles and returned with 34k miles with oil changes every 3k-5k miles. Generator was sound and all appliances continued to work without a hitch even with everyday use. Overall we would recommend this RV to anyone looking for a reliable option and a unique look.

This RV functions great even with the slide in. I has great fresh water capacity and dump tanks too ... I can boon dock for a long time before needing services. It tows my jeep with no problems. Very Comfortable. A bit hard to park because of it size, I certainly would not need anything bigger. Lots of underneath and inside storage. Maximum refrigerator and freezer. Efficient kitchen.

My overall experience with this RV has been amazing and great for my family and I. It served us very well. I’ve been happy with this exact model and type of Winnebago Brave RV I purchased. Now it must go to a family who can find great use in & for it. I once took a trip from Oregon to New Mexico and it runs very smooth. The turning radius on this RV is perfection. When driving, you can hardly feel any bumps on the road while on the RV. Also, for one year this was a living RV for my ex fiancé and her son. She as well absolutely loved it. She stated it was the best RV she’s ever lived in. She loved the amenities, comfortable beds & seats, how spacious it was and the overall feel of the RV for living in. Also to include & give more information about this. RV, all undercarriage parts like shocks, brakes, ignition system, batteries, generator repair, pullout bed switch, top canopies(new),Top portion of RV repaired, brand new cover etc. All undercarriage parts have either been replaced or repaired for new owner. We can talk more about it if you’d like to know more about the RV and its replacements. Overall, There is absolutely nothing I disliked about this RV and I would most definetly and highly recommend this RV to anyone looking for the best RVs. I know it will still serve someone (single person) or a family very well. . I hope this helped! Good Luck! Show less
