Winnebago Folding Trailer reviews

2529RG - Winnebago hit the mark with this model. This is a great RV for a full-time couple. It's 30' long, so it will fit in State and National parks. It has (2) grey tanks, so you can stay without hookups longer. You can get to everything with the slide closed for comfortable travel and overnight stays on the road. This model had (2) floor to ceiling pantries and an extra ward with drawers! Lots of storage in this unit. The underbed storage features an open cubby on each side of the bed, which we used for shoe storage, and a cubby in the front big enough for a pet bed. The light colors with midnight blue accents is light and cheery. The only con to this unit is dealing with dumping (2) grey tanks. Show less

I am a single camper with a dog. I wanted to love the camper I bought new Oct 2023 atLa Mesa RV. I had it 4 months and went to Georgia camping in January 2024. It was raining and very cold. My bathroom sky light started to leak rainwater badly. I had to buy a large tarp and the ranger helped me cover the roof till the rain stopped and I could head home. It says COMFORT TECH but when I ran the furnace I had condensation all inside the rear cabinets an kitchen sink area that I could see. The wood covering is peeling as others have said. On my way home I dropped it off at LaMesa RV in st Lucie fl. Winnebago blamed ME for not maintaining my roof. My response was 1 only had the camper 4 months. Thy then blamed La Mesa Rv for bad lot maintainence. It was ONLY then that LaMesa took off the skylight and found a bolt had cracked the plastic when it was installed. Then Winnebago fixed it. Two window shades have fallen down and I had to fix them. One of the side storage steel bins filled with water and ruined my vacuum I had stored there. I just emptied it and drilled a hole in the bottom so if it fills again it drains and I only store my chocks in there. This could have been a wonderful experience . Sad. And it is 2 hours up and 2 hours back from weston fl to LA Mesa in st Lucie to get service. BTW they had my trailer 6 weeks for the skylight. Another sad adventure. Thank you Show less

We purchased our Winnebago brand new in 2022. Unfortunately, we have had problems from day1. Within a month, our fridge quit working. It was fixed under warranty but we were without a fridge for a year. Immediately, our window blinds began falling apart. Over the past three years, almost every blind has broken. Two summers ago, the A/C quit working. It was not covered under warranty. We purchased a portable A/C and continue to use it. We received a quote of $4000.00 to repair it. We then noticed that one of the windows was leaking a great deal when it rained. We hired a carpenter who attempted to fix the window, but it still continues to leak. Our RV is permanently parked in a campground. We don’t move it. My husband and I are retired have taken good care of it. Presently, it isn’t enjoyable spending time in it; there is so much wrong with it. It has been so disappointing. We would sell it but there’s so much wrong with it that we wouldn’t get much money for it. We would never purchase another Winnebago. Show less

This is the second RV I have owned recently, I had an Imagine Grand Design 2800BH prior to buying this Winnebago. They are the same year. Layout is similar but the Imagine uses the space a little more effectively. The big difference is in build quality. The Winnebago doesn’t fail to surprise me with just how cheaply and poorly it is built. Almost everyday I use it, it has a new and exciting problem for me to address. The water lines are a cheap Chinese knockoff thread re-enforced PEX type tubing, and if you spring a leak (which you will!) they are a real PIA to fix as PEX rings are just a hair too small to fit, and clamps lead to more leaks! The stabilizer are junky, and fail one after the other, the floor squeaks and flexes (even with the stabilizers dow) and the overall feel of this Winnebago is just cheap and worrisome. I am pretty sure Winnebago is short for Winne Bag O **** ! Show less

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
