Winnebago Spirit Reviews on RV Insider (2)
Avg. Rating

We love our new RV! We looked for a long time for just the right amount of RV for our occasional family of 6, yet still high quality and in our price range. We have a family with a son-in-law 6'5" and two grandsons with that height probability. Bunk beds were just too short, and they were useless space when the kids weren't with us. This is a camper--not a luxury RV. BUT it has some really nice touches that we appreciated very much: beautiful full length kitchen with walnut cabinetry and solid surface countertop; an oven; an updated faucet; U-shaped dinette; 96"overcab bed; split bath, but possible to create a full bath space; private bedroom with queen and a queen pullout sofa. I love the "quiet" design--no wild patterns and the grey with hardwood is really classic. It's easy to clean and keep clean. Love the big awning. We also liked the aluminum structure of the Winnebago (vs. wood) and its safety record. Things I wish for: more storage and space in the bedroom; a half bath with w/d for those longer trips; the big view of the class A out the front. But we would have had to go bigger and move up to a diesel for best power. We aren't ready to make that move and may never be. Issues so far: the water pump leaked and made a lot of noise and actually just quit at one point. This has been fixed under warranty. We overstuffed the refrigerator the first time and it couldn't keep up, but we've since learned how to manage that as well. We've also replaced the lock on the coach as it was sticky and once locked us out. Otherwise, it's working beautifully for us and we cannot wait to enjoy a 3.5 week trip this fall. This coach meets/exceeds all of our needs!

We greatly enjoyed our RV for the 23 years we used it. My rating for this experience is 5 stars except for "livability" because it is rather small for permanent residence. For 2-5 week camping or touring it is excellent for 2-4 family members. Small enough to pull into nearly any camping ground and powerful enough to get up grades and steep roads. If I could afford it I would likely buy the same model, make, and configuration. Dependable and liveable.
