Winnebago Sightseer 30A reviews

This is my 3rd motorhome. I purchased a Winnebago because there are many out there that have been on the road for a long time. The quality is very good. This is the first motorhome that I have owned, that hasn't needed anything major done to it. Winnebago makes a good coach. While others try to make them pretty and add all kinds of foo foo, these guys concentrate on the important things. Of course I have customized a few things to make it how I like it and make it a little more comfortable. Show less

This Sightseer is our 3rd motorhome. It has been very reliable. Winnebago has a long reputation of long lasting motor-homes. The heavy duty chassis with the 22.5" tires rides very nice. Towing a jeep or trailer behind is no problem. The horsepower is the highest of any motorhome we have had. Climbs hill better than our friends. The 30 ft length is perfect for all campgrounds. Overall very little issues in past 7 years. Highly recommend the brand. Show less

Have taken several long distance trips. Spent 4 weeks in it one time. Runs excellent and the power day/night shades in the front are a real plus. Auto jacks and 2 showers (inside & outside) also a plus. Show less

2015 sightseer less than 7000 miles 1st trip to yellowstone had cut trip short, back to san diego, 6 weeks in shop for multiple repairs. Recall on steps 6-8 months later due to possible popping out during driving. This trip, 7-2016, engine dies coming down mountains out of St george utah to mesquite. No power steering no brakes, put my family\'s lives in jeopardy. Hour and a half on the side of the freeway with no cell service. My son holding a hand written sign to call cops or tow. Finally started and made it down the mountain( much to my wife\'s reluctance). Called winnebago told to take it to ford, ford fixed it saying it was due to fuel pump grounds put on painted surface/ or painted over causing fuel pump to short out. This negligence could have cost lives but ford and winnebago want to blame each other neither want to pay for the repairs. Family is to scared to use rv anymore, $110,000 for a ticking time bomb.

"Elegant" is the one word I use to describe our motorhome. From the driver's seat to the standard-size, walk-around queen bed in the rear of the coach it's pure elegance every inch! The Ultraleather seats and dinette cushions are tough yet soft to the touch and easy to keep clean. The kitchen is a dream. Beautiful Corian counters, ample cabinets and drawers for all your kitchen utensils, dishes, pots and pans, bake ware, etc. Add to that an awesome convection/microwave, a 3-burner gas range and gas oven (that all look like new) there isn't anything that you can't prepare in this kitchen! The 2-door refrigerator is quite large and has an ice maker! Now that's what I call 'camping'. The enclosed bathroom not only has lots of storage and ample room to move around in, it's beautiful too. It also has a 'porcelain' toilet! So much easier to clean than plastic. The shower is 'not' an afterthought. There is just about room for two! :) The bedroom suite is gorgeous! Plenty of room to walk around the standard-size queen bed. A huge mirrored 4-door closet with 3 chest drawers below. Don't want to watch what's playing on the 42" LCD TV in the main cabin. No problem. There's a 27" LCD TV in the bedroom and you have a very comfy queen mattress to lay on to watch. A far better mattress than you usually find in a motorhome! The amount of storage in the basement is incredible. And since this motorhome has hardly been used, the carpet in the storage compartments looks like new and still smells like new. There is room for all your camping accessories (chairs, tables, counter top BBQ, etc.). Once you arrive at your destination it just takes the push of a button to level the coach thanks to the hydraulic controls. Push two more buttons to extend the two slides. And push a couple more buttons to extend the awnings and you're set. To quote my husband one night (when we were 'camping') having been out fishing all day, taking a shower and enjoying a bowl of ice cream after dinner he said: "I Just LOVE camping!" Spoiled!? Nope, camping in style and comfort is what I call it. That's what you will experience in this incredibly beautiful 2013 Winnebago Sightseer 30A. If you didn't know the year of the coach, you'd swear it was brand new! Show less

Bought this motorhome without first driving it, what a mistake. The engine is so noisy, plus loud road noise, my wife and I could hardly have a conversation. The worse part was when I had to suddenly hit the brake the brake my shin hit the hard sharp plastic skirt at bottom of display panel cutting my shin and making it impossible for me to drive safely. Dealer would not make a reasonable offer of exchange for another model. After putting 68 miles on it he offered me only $29,900 less than what I paid for it. I had to dump it at a $20,000 loss. Took 4 months to sell it at that. Show less
