Winnebago Cargo Trailer 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

This has been a good trailer. Plenty of storage, very nice bunks, under 5,000 lbs dry weight. Water heater has fast recovery with propane and electric heating. High sewer connections for good drainage. Tows great being 7 foot wide and stores easy. Very happy with this rig! Show less

Built like a pice of shit, warranty is nil. Trailer has many defects that obvious quality control does not exist. Floors squeak, no help from warranty. Trim is pulling away/failing. Cabinets and bed frame are pulling away from walls. Shower improperly sealed causing water leaks. 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

This travel trailer is perfect, especially for families. Three big items on our list were a walk around bed, a slide with three windows, and an outdoor kitchen. This Minnie hit all the marks, and solid construction cabinets to boot. Great RV! Show less

Delivery to my house. No time to walk through Terrible inside. Parts every where many many blemishes on would work Slide crooked on refrigerator slide Putty to cover nails on everything Gutter plugged not draining water Sky light over shower broken Decals curled it seems it may have sat over a year I. Parking lot. Just terrible Show less

This little trailer has restored my faith in the RV industry... everything has been just about perfect. I've owned a 36 ft. toyhauler, a 25 ft. Travel trailer and a Tiffin Allegro Breeze class A motorhome. Hands down, this thing was ready to go when it rolled off the assembly line. One nut fell off the towel bar one the stovetop and that's the only thing in 6000+ miles I've had go wrong. Hope this luck continues. Show less

I have used this camper three times. The battery was destroyed because the solar charger was sending too much energy to it. The vent cover fell off on the highway. The slide was hitting when extending and retracting. It ruined the trim. The microwave was faulty and had to be replaced. While replacing the microwave, the outlet fell apart and had to be replaced. The bathroom door guide had to be replaced. The stovetop had a recall and needed to be fixed. Alarmingly, the exterior door does not stay closed , even when locked. Walking inside the camper or pulling it on the road causes the locked door to pop open 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
