Winnebago Journey reviews

We purchased our 2004 Winnebago Journey 36G new. We got 36,000 good miles. Then the turbo broke and needed a new one 🙄 that one and the next 2 turbos were covered. The 4th, yes the 4th was on us. 300 Cummins engine. It now has 136,000 and just needed new ignitors and air flow. Cost $8,000. We will just have to try to sell for whatever we can get for it. My husband has always taken care of maintenance and kept all records. It has been kept in our barn since day one. Never buy new, Winnebago, or 300 Cummins engine again. Show less

This is the first new motorhome bought in March 2004. We have had nothing but problems since 36,000 miles. Needed a turbo. Then another turbo. In all 4 turbos. Cummins paid for 3. Last one was $5000 on us. Winnebago was absolutely no help at all. Man in Iowa just hung his head and said there was nothing they could do. This was after the 2nd turbo. The only help we got was from the dealer in Georgia who gave us the name of the man at Cummins. Thank God for him. We are now trying to find someone to buy it. We will not lie to anyone about the problems we have had. Good luck to us. We will never buy a Winnebago. Show less

This RV is really only positives and I wouldn't stray from Winnebago for any RV purchase in the future. The 32T/32TD is such a smart floorplan... you barely have any concept about the fact that you're barely over 32' in this thing - there's an absolute ton of space. It was so well designed. The Cummins 5.9L ISB engine and Alison transmission make for a killer combo and you're loaded with power up hills and on the road.... it's an awesome drive and with good oil, the engine runs beautifully. With a Winnebago as well, you have the ability to go to the Forest City, IA centre for service and repairs and there's no other place which will treat your unit as well for as reasonable a price. They are absolutely amazing there. I couldn't be happier with this thing. Show less

Love this coach. Only have owned it for 2 months and used it so far on one extended trip. No warranty issues. Don't like the Winnebago coach-wide mudflap. Kicks up stones and rubber onto my tow vehicle hood Show less

Winnebago Journey is a well made Diesel Pusher with high quality seating and excellent fit and finish. Cabinetry is well made and has held up very well in our 10 year coach. This coach handles well on mountain roads and the comfort is excellent. Show less

Coach handles great on two lanes or open road. While on cruise control, vehicle glides down the road. Plenty of torque. Even though the Coach is 40', it easy to maneuver in tight spots. Controls are easy to access. Plenty of open living space. Show less

We loved our RV, really enjoyed the separate bedroom and the spaciousness of the central living area. Kitchen has plenty of cabinets and countertops. Plenty of under coach storage to not clutter up the coach. Highly dependable coach. Show less

This is a wonderful comfortable riding coach. We've had many family trips in it. It is very comfortable in all weather. Having a full laundry on board is very helpful have even done wash driving down the road. I like the fact we can use it on electric only and have all the luxuries of home or you could pick propane.

I found this RV easy to learn to drive. Have never driven anything this large, but after a four hour lesson and then a few hour of practice time in an empty parking lot, I was good to go. We made two 6000 mile trips and one 4000 mile trip this past year. Comfortable captains chairs for driving an electronic package. Bed has sleep number technology for both sides in master bedroom and sleeps four Show less

This is a very easy RV to use and live with. It has great storage capacity and the interior space is totally livable with the single slide in. We have looked at a number of newer RV's that are essentially unusable with the slides in the closed position. This unit is perfectly livable with the slide in and very spacious with the slide out. The only real complaint that I have with the unit is the fact that it could really use another 100 horsepower. Once you get it rolling it's OK, but you have to be patient and in hilly areas you have to plan ahead and use the shifter to keep the engine in the power band. Show less
