Winnebago FUSE 23T 23T reviews

This is the perfect RV and Floorplan for 2 to 4 people. We've owned this model for a couple years and it's a dream. Couch to lounge, table to have meals. Front and rear TV's - WOW. Sterio inside and outside. The kitchen is the perfect size with a nice sized sink with a cover, a 3 burner propane stove and an oven. Yes an oven, this was one of the buying points for me. I could back bisquits, cookies, pot pies, breakfast burritos and more. It's a game changer! The refrigerator is huge that runs on battery or propane. Lots and lots of cabinets, more than you'd ever need. The front sofa and table also turn into a full size bed. Going to the back there's a queen bed slide out with upgraded mattress. Super comphy. USB ports on each side of the bed with reading lights and cabinets above. And TV mounted on the wall. Even has a privacy curtain. The bathroom is spacious equipped with Sink, toilet, and a seperate shower with shower door, a medicine cabinet with mirror and lower cabinet. The entire RV is awesome. Show less

I bought one of these with low miles from a dealer and have been camping full time for 5 months in it. It drives beautifully. The diesel engine is peppy and has never failed me. Steering is tight and the motorhome always feels like it's going right where I want it to go. Storage is pretty well thought out and I'm still working out how to use it all. Some oddities I have noticed: The vehicle is actually a 2016 model, even though the Winnebago is a 2017 model. There are fuses ALL over the place and they're hard to access. My rear view camera went down recently and I discovered that they installed it without a user friendly removable connection. The cable out of the camera goes right into a hole in the rear wall of the motorhome. There's no connectors there. So in order to replace the camera, I need to either run my own cable or splice the tiny bare wires or install my own connectors. Winnebago doesn't provide adequate information about certain things in the manual. I had to ask them what the roof was comprised of because I wanted to install an additional solar panel. The cable run for the rear view camera is a total mystery. There's no spare tire, which may be normal for motorhomes, but I thought that was odd. Show less

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

We bought our 2017 Winnebago Fuse used with only 9000 miles on it last July in Arizona and drove it back to home Arkansas before heading out on a longer trip. We have owned bumper pulls and a 35 ft class A but never owned a small class C. Also, never owned a Winnebago but had a Grand Design bumper pull. The drivability of this coach is amazing. Turns on a dime and is so easy to maneuver. Great acceleration when needed and we are getting 18 miles to the diesel gallon. The fit and finish is amazing. solid built cabinetry with quality fabrics, lighting, hardware, etc. good systems for on demand water heater, huge shower, nice size fridge, great storage inside and out. The dinette turns into a huge bed and is really easy and comfortable too! We love it! There is a great Winnebago Fuse Owners forum on FB with lots of good information. I think Winnebago quit making the Fuse move over to the Ecko. Show less

I loved this coach! More storage than you need. Plenty of power with the Diesel engine! Great mpg 15-18! Plenty of room in the beds as well as the spacious bathroom! Huge refrigerator and freezer for this size coach. I have owned 6 different motor homes and this was my favorite! 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

Our Fuse is less than a year old, we have driven it 6000 miles and are very pleased with the Ford Transit both in mileage (17mpg) and in handling on the road. We used to own a Sprinter, and both of us agree that the Ford diesel tracks and climbs hills better. Pleasantly surprised considering the Winnebago Fuse cost $40,000 less than the sprinter Itasca. It’s easy to drive for both of us, and it’s not as noisy as the Sprinter. The interior is of average quality and I might have wanted a bit more comfort on the sofa bed. For the most part, this RV is a bit crowded, but it also provides so many options that I did not want to give up when we sold our larger Tiffin 35 ft. Diesel. So we went small to large, then large, back to small, and are very happy with our new choice. This time we wanted simple, easy to drive, lots of bells and whistles, moderately priced, and the Fuse did that. It’s a good go-between. Show less

I have had great experiences with this little motor home. I've taken it over 20,000 miles of trips so far and it is a 2017 what I loved about it is the way it cruises and the bedroom and the bathroom are terrific. What I did not like was the salon area for eating was totally uncomfortable. To remedy this I took it all out and replaced it with two reclining captains chairs so you can recline back and watch TV. I had to increase the springs in the rear of the truck I adding two Springs on each side at a truck dealership. After that it completed what we needed done to really make it great. With the additional Springs it drives much better and it's 16 miles to a gallon so I'm happy with that of diesel Show less

This is our 3rd RV in 18yrs; have owned Fuse 23T (actually 24ft) 5-months (8,000 miles) with 20+days of warranty service by Ford or Winnebago. Ford issues: fluid leak requiring value cover replacement, passenger side whistling noise, engine light on at 10,000mi, potential "under sprung" springs. Winnebago issues: coach entry door lock stuck, drawer req'd extra latches, bathroom door req'd reframing, A/C rear vent knob detached, dinette req'd reenforcing, A/C noise LOUD, electric cord attachment recalled for torquing. Other Negatives: rearend overhang / bumper drag, unnecessary 3rd burner/oven, tanks oversized. Pluses: Ford diesel solid 16MPG, floor plan, bathroom/shower, large refrigerator. Still dealing with some of these issues. Show less

Have had the unit for about month and have thus far encountered 15 deficiencies. We purchased a Winnebago because of it`s reputation to quality and workmanship, certainly not event in this particular coach. Show less
