Winnebago reviews

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

Wonderful to drive and easy to set up. Has all the necessary amenities needed for a great camping trip. Durable/reliable diesel engine with great mpg. Sleeping areas have thick, firm mattresses for a great nights sleep. Kitchen area has ample space for preparing meals and convection oven works just like a home oven. Show less

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

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

recently bought a new Winnebago View 24T. It is a new model this year, although the View has been out for some time. I am sorely disappointed with the quality of the vehicle which came freshly from the factory. The walk through seemed fine with what I was able to test out in that short period of time, however two days after getting it home, I discovered that the coach battery was not charging. Two days later I found that the Xantrex inverter was set to the incorrect battery type (flooded or lead acid instead of Lithium-ion) and that Winnebago had locked out this setting which meant it cannot be changed. Winnebago says it needs a firmware update, but won't give me a time for when the update is available. It has been three months now. Meanwhile, because of the incorrect inverter setting, there is not very much that actually functions in the coach, whether connected to shore power or not. This means it cannot be used for its intended purpose. Here is a list of defects out of the factory: Battery won’t charge Forward ceiling fan acting up, on/off by itself Lights flicker during slide operation Fridge won't run under battery power Hot water heater won't stay on Coach door won't lock along with the Mercedes doors Water pump keeps turning on by Itself randomly Lights flicker under battery power Because of the charging issues, battery may be damaged Gallery cabinet over sink does not latch properly and is misaligned Inverter outer boy door won't latch Slide makes binding sounds during operation Stovetop rubber gasket is torn Stain on passenger seat Tv tray sofa insert too loose Bed mattress retaining strap unraveling Multiple leaks from fresh water system Drawers won't latch well enough to stay closed while driving External storage side door is misaligned I would like to give an extra star because I really liked the floor plan design, but I haven't been able to use it yet to evaluate that.

I love my Travato GL. It’s perfect. Drives like a dream, I love sitting up high like a trucker while touring the country. I love parking in primitive spots and swiveling my seat having a nice cabin to enjoy effortlessly. She’s powerful, too. With a RAM 3500 engine she can reach 80 mph easily. I also love how it brakes while using the engine. It’s like a sports car. Show less

We bought this motorhome new in 2019 after several months of online research and going to dealers and RV shows. We felt that it had a very livable floor plan, with a full-length slide on the drivers side. The relatively short length (30'3") made it easy to get around almost any campground, and being only 12'2" tall made it possible to get under many bridges and tree limbs. It has the 50 amp package, which allows for two rooftop 15,000 BTU air conditioners, and has a 5500W Onan gas generator. When the slide is in, there is easy access to the bed, bathroom and refrigerator, which meant stops for lunch or overnighting at Walmart or Cracker Barrel were handled easily. I'm 6'4" tall, and found plenty of headroom in the coach, on the toilet and in the shower. The RV refrigerator was large enough for our needs, although the freezer was a little tight, but still OK. Storage in the basement was very good- we had plenty of room for anything we wanted to bring. Myself, my wife and our two large dogs totaled about 600lbs, and towing our CR-V added 500lbs of tongue weight- however, the cargo carrying capcity of 2002 lbs meant we could still bring 900 lbs of stuff with us, which was more than enough. This coach has the Ford V10 gas engine on a F53 chassis. When it comes to towing, we barely noticed that we were pulling our Honda CR-V (flat-towed). We had no problem with mountain passes, going up or down. The tow/haul feature on the engine really helped with hills and mountains, and with braking in traffic or coming down an exit ramp off a highway. It has an automated leveling system, an onboard LP gas canister, a gas water heater, an RV referigerator, an outdoor TV and kitchen w/sink and 'frig, rear and side cameras, a powered Euroloft bed in the cab, a sofa that opens out to a bed and a dinette that converts into a bed as well. As far as quality goes, the cabinetry is very good quality, the rest of the decor is also nice- better than most RVs we had looked at but not luxurious. It's a typical RV- that means with time things need some work/replacement. During the 6 years we've owned this, we've traveled 36,000 miles as we visited 45 states and 9 Canadian provinces. We've replaced a water pump, the step motor, the carburetor on the generator, the windshield (by the Winnebago factory, due to cracks from rocks thrown up by trucks), the tires (new Goodyears in May 2023, only have ~5,000 miles on them) and a leaky valve in the cooling system of the Ford engine. The awning broke in a sudden rainstorm shortly after we bought the unit, and that was repaired under warranty by Camping World, so its as good as new. Since we've driven it out to the middle of nowhere at times, we've always performed the recommend maintenance at the recommend intervals so that we wouldn't have a problem when away from civilization.

This RV drives like an everyday truck. So easy to tow a car behind it. The theater seating is wonderful to relax in after a day of hiking and seeing the sites. Bed is comfortable. Kitchen has great storage with pull out pantry. Our first RV and a good choice for those wanting to step down to a easy unit 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
