Winnebago Journey 42E reviews

We have been RV in most of our life we've had everything from tent trailers to fifth wheels diesel pushers and gas coaches and I will say this is the best nicest coach we have ever owned. This coach has everything and it's like living in a small apartment. We are selling because we can no longer RV we are in our 70s.great coach for anyone that wants to snowbird. Show less

We bought this RV new. We love the bath and half, washer/dryer-to me seems like it holds quite a bit, the fireplace and the full wall slide-out that makes the RV seem huge! We lived in this full-time for 5 years. We bought a house to be closer to family needs. We hate giving it up, but I don't want it to sit around. She has brand new tires, all maintenance done and ready to go. Winnebago has the widest entry door which makes it nice carrying in groceries. We love Winnebago factory for any repairs or service. They do a one and done service, which means they fix it right the first time. This is in great shape. No issues. Show less

We purchased our 42E from Lazy Days brand new and we could not be happier with the coach. We were told when we purchased the coach to expect at least 30 things to be on a "punch list" within the first year as most motor coaches will have little things go wrong that will need adjustments. We literally needed maybe 3-5 things adjusted such as some doors and a lighting fixture and one roller shade in the bedroom. All of our appliances, systems and major components have been running wonderfully since we got the coach. The one complaint we had was the door lock system which took 3 times to the authorized dealer to get the connectors straightened out. Other than that, it has been great. We have been from Maine to Florida and have stayed in many different types of campgrounds and had no issues. We have had wonderful support from our authorized dealers on scheduled maintenance and they have been able to service us quickly to get us on the road and ready for the season. We love the layout of this coach and having the kitchen in the middle has been a huge benefit. We LOVE the air bed and honestly can say it is the most comfortable bed we have EVER owned. (Sometimes I wish we could take it into the house!) I would not hesitate to purchase another Winnebago again. Show less

This coach is one of the best I have seen. It drives smooth. It has everything that is needed for luxury living. Washer/dryer, 3 TV's and many other great ideas are built in this motorhome. I lived in this coach over 1 year and it was wonderful. Show less

This Winnebago journey 42 E is one of the finest motor coaches around. Driving it down the road is a pleasure. The tag axle in the back keeps their coach steady and does not vibrate or wander from the lane. It has plenty of power to climb just about any hill. I am really Impressed with it. And having all the accoutrements and extras is a real pleasure. Show less

We have had our Journey for 3 years and have been so totally dissatisfied that we had to sue for the Texas Lemon Law (and won). Customer service is horrible from Winnebago and the dealer. The first year it was in for repairs 6 mos out of 12. Almost every time we take a trip something breaks down. The entertainment center has never worked properly (our last trip went two weeks with no Satellite, Cable or DVD, several repairs on slides (still not fixed), electric control system went, and on and on and on. The only thing positive I can say about it is that it does handle well and the floor plan is excellent. We just traded it for an Entegra (very high reviews)and waited so long because we could not find a floor plan we liked as much. We go to several rally's including the Winnebago in Iowa and have not talked to one couple that had anything positive to say about their Winnebago coaches. We just returned from an Entegra rally and did not hear of one unhappy owner. This was the main reason we decided to finally make the trade, losing approx. $100,000 plus all the interest that has been paid to do it. Show less
