Winnebago Class B reviews

Just purchased a new 2022 Boldt and slept in it 4 nights to test it out! Battery wouldn't charge while driving so went back to the dealer the next morning. After 4 hours of searching, it was a $0.10 burnt fuse between the alternator and the battery. Found few other manufacturing screw-ups. Making a list for early spring to get it in top shape. Overall it was a fun experience although it was freezing temperatures at night . First night I was stingy with the battery and used full propane to heat the cabin. I used only 10% during the night! I started helping the combi furnace with electricity from the battery. Never went below 50%! Fun machine to drive, around 17 mpg (15L/100km). Very thick REAL mattresses Deep fridge. Has ample capacity to be a near 4 season machine even in Canada Show less

This was designed from the start as a wheelchair handicap accessible van/RV. On the plus side it is short that you can use the 159 inch regular length version as a means to get around town as it will fit into standard parking spaces. It drives well as long as you watch the tire pressure. If you put more than 65 psi in the front tires you will find it rides very hard. I got 18 mpg on the interstate but only 14 mpg around town. Sitting high, it is easy to see traffic, even over the tops of pickup trucks. There are some negatives. The biggest negative is this is designed for a person in a wheelchair yet the side door is a manual door. The control for the wheelchair lift has a button for the door but no power door option. NONE of the seat belts are comfortable. Rather than using the Promaster seatbelt system on the front they elected to use a system where the shoulder harness is built into the seat. That means the shoulder strap comes right across you neck. You will need a shirt with collar or a padded cover for the belt. In the back, the two seat belts pull up instead of back. They need to hire a seat belt consultant as none of the seat belts really work well and are uncomfortable. Yes, I would buy it again but would start doing modifications right from the start.

I have owned 2 bolds, 2020 and now a 23. They are expensive, and great vehicles. What is horrible is the Winnebago support. On both vehicles, we have had a problem with the Volta system. Volts is a good company, but their product is defective, same problem with both bolts. Will not charge from alternator. First one took 18 mobster and 6 dealer later tto removed. Winn did NOTING to help. New one, is a month i old, Same problem, and Winnebago once again NO support, they say goi to dealer, Dealers dont know. Hot so fix, and are 4=5 months out. Winnebago does NOTING to help. Really BAD. Done with them. Show less

Got a sweet price on a clearance 2023 Travato 59G. Wanted the new model for the 9 speed transmission. On first trip we were pleased with the performance and smooth ride. The truma hot water seemed a little slow in getting to the right temperature. So far so good. Keeping my fingers crossed as this is my first new rig in years. Heard some horror stories with Thor and Coachman with similar rigs. Show less

I purchased a used Winnebago Travato about a year ago. It has been so much fun to travel in it with my two dogs! This was my choice because it has a "wet" shower, a Murphy bed, and a "puzzle bed" which is created with cushions from the dinette, the settee that is over the lithium battery box, and the table. I keep it in bed mode all the time so they're comfortable and can look out the windows. The kitchen is compact but enough. The fridge is fairly large for this size rig, and has a separate freezer below it. The lithium battery is powered by solar panels on the roof, and converts the power to a standard battery. Storage is always lacking in a camper van, but Winnebago made use of every available space! It has a two-bike rack, which I removed it since I don't take a bike. Automatic deploy/retract awning with LED lights, and LED lights under the van. Fun stuff! Lots of USB ports, 120v outlets and such. The TV is over the dinette on a swivel. The cab seats swing around to face the dinette. The priorities for me were the second sleeping space, the shower, and the quality; I am very happy with my choice! Show less

The Revel is great. I just wouldn’t bring one to Main Line Overland for modifications. My experience with Main Line Overland was very poor. Unfortunately they appear to be an unprofessional company that is not equipped to deal with any problems beyond bolting on parts. I gave them every chance to make good. When I was asked to leave an internet review I contacted Taylor Kronuch, their Customer Service Manager, instead. I asked for her help rather than criticize the company on a public forum. Unfortunately Taylor ignored me. I ordered almost $2,000 of stuff in September of 2022 for a new Winnebago Revel. I worked everything out with Don Cote. I told him that I need it completed by December at the latest and now it’s February. The plan was to drop the van off to mount all of the upgrades at once. I live in Maine and have to travel to New Hampshire to get this done. Don Cote said everything would be in by late October. Then I never heard from them. Don Cote had left the company and Main Line's IT department isn't equipped to have the email bounce back. Todd Ireland got back to me on 12/5 saying everything was in and had an opening the next day. On 12/8 he emails me and says they had the wrong brackets for a light bar. Todd blamed everything on Don Cote. He, and another Main Line employee, Luke, said they were still recovering from when Don worked there. My expectations may be high but if Todd thinks Don has caused so many problems why wouldn't he double check the order? Why would a client ever hear about an internal issue? When I picked it up I asked Todd directly if he would take care of the cost of the mounting of the light bar/brackets. He said he would. The brackets came in and I asked Todd if I needed to drop it off or wait for it. His Reply (cut and pasted from the email he sent me on 12/13), "I will put you on the books for the 21st. You can surely wait, it may be a couple hours". I came in on 12/21 and wanted over eight hours. I missed two important meetings that afternoon and I was not pleased. When I asked what the holdup was Todd and Luke told me that it is an all-day job and that I was wrong to expect it to be done in a couple of hours. Not only that, he still charged me for labor after saying he wouldn't. It's bad enough that my day was blown but to have these employees, who based on my experience are inept, give me a hard time and charge me when they said they wouldn't is unacceptable. I showed him his email proving what he had said and all he could say was sorry. I explained the issues (also a ski box they had mounted improperly and needed tightened), in an email sent to Taylor Kronuch January 3rd and copied both company principles, Tom and Matt Henwood. Taylor replied "This is not the customer experience we strive for, if there is anything you are interested in adding to your van in the future please reach out to me directly and we will do our best to make this up to you". I told her since Todd told me he wasn't going to charge me for the installation of that light bar I thought it's only right that Main Line cut me a check back for that charge and if she really want to do the right thing and compensate me for the day they caused me to waste, and, to send someone to me to fix the poorly mounted ski box. I asked her "Please do the right thing and take care of this". I sent her a couple of emails over the next couple of weeks with no reply. She called me on January 13 and told me she would do nothing to help me. She also clarified that she would "make it up to me" if I bought more stuff. The low level of professionalism shown by Taylor and the lack of response from the two principles, Tom and Matt Henwood, speaks volumes. The funny thing is that the Revel gets more attention than anything I've ever owned. This includes antique sports cars, modified BMWs and Audis...a Corvette...a Shelby. I will let everyone I speak to know exactly where not to bring their van or truck for modifications. That said: If Main Line does decide to act in a classy manner and do the right thing I will let you know. Show less

The Winnebago Travato 59K is a quality built class B travel van. Built on the sturdy Dodge Ram Promaster 3500 chassis with 280HP V6 engine it has plenty of power for all terrains. At 21 ft long, 6’ 9” wide, getting to where the action is makes this vehicle a popular choice among travel enthusiasts who like the freedom of traveling where the bigger rigs cannot go. Parking in tight spots is no problem and the backup camera adds additional safety. Dry camping is a breeze with the 215 watt solar panels, ONAN 2800 micro quiet generator, LP gas tank and Truma furnace/ water heater. The 13 foot electric awning with LED lights will keep you cool and add lots of outdoor space to your camping experience. Or hook up at your favorite RV park, state park or National Park with the 30amp service. Starting from the back of the van you will find a wet bath, plenty of storage in a closet, underbed storage and overhead storage bins above the Twin beds. Toward the front is the kitchen with overhead storage pantry bins, a 2 cooktop gas burner stove, a convection microwave oven with toaster rack, storage drawers and an ample refrigerator /freezer. Stored tray tables slide out and cab seats swivel around to make a comfortable seating area. Show less

We had this Winnebago Solis for just about a year when we found the gasket around the pop-top coming off. When we looked at the roof more closely we also found holes and gaps in the rubber coating to protect cables for the sun roof. We found all of this in July of 2022. Since then, our dealer (who's been great) has not been able to get the parts to replace the roof gasket or rubber coating and we learned from them that 39 other Solis vans they've sold or have on their lot have the same problem or worse. Winnebago has not been helpful in finding an alternative or solution to this problem. In the interim, we cannot use the upper bed and likely more damage will incur to parts of the top. Lastly, though we love the van overall, a flaw in all the class B Winnebago vans is that the water hose connection is inside the back door. Meaning, if you want to be on city water you have to leave the door open. Whoever thought of this design hasn't camped much where there are hookups. Show less

We absolutely love this RV. We use it for travel and it has been to both coasts many times. Fuel Milage is phenomenal for an RV. We travel with our dogs and occasionally take one of our parrots with us. The systems are all well-thought-out. It is easy to hook up at campgrounds. We have used it "off the grid" many times. Very comfortable ride and very comfortable for sleeping. The storage is adequate for us but we did remove one of the seats and built a storage system to replace the seat which is very handy. While towing, the milage is still great and the power is excellent. It is wonderful to be able to go anywhere with this RV and park virtually anywhere. It was well made by Winnebago in the first place and I have improved several things during the time we owned it. I would give two "thumbs up" to the engineers and the factory. Very impressive vehicle. Show less

Great rig- the design is really good, the quality/workmanship is a little rough. Be prepared to troubleshoot/repair plumbing issues due to cheap connections/fittings. No issues with the electricity, drives great! Replaced the terrible mattress with a purple mattress and it was a game changer. If you live in an area where you will use the AC a lot you will need a generator or additional batteries, if you only need AC for 1-3 hours the factory setup should be fine. Love our Revel and use it all the time! Show less
