Winnebago Sunstar LX reviews

We just got it home and started to prepare it for a break-in trip. I put the awning out overnight to dry out. About 8:15 to 8:30 the next morning I noticed the wind was picking up so I started to go outside to retract the awning and it blew apart before I was able to. (So much for the wind sensor.) The wind wasn't as strong as it would become later but the unsupported design couldn't take even a general gust. What wind there was at the time was coming from the other side of the unit from where the awning was located. We also had problems with the retractable step not functioning, so we spent $1,750 having emergency service get the motorhome roadworthy, On Nov 5th we got it to the dealer. Finally today, Dec 17th, we were told by the dealer that WGO WAS NOT GOING TO HONOR WARRANTY. So I guess we will have to take further action against WGO to make them honor their obvious warranty. I cannot let something as egregious as this happen without consequence. I had always thought WGO was one of the higher quality builders, but I guess I was very wrong. I do not recommend anything from WGO now that I know how they behave. Show less

We purchased this rv from Blue Compass in Newtown Ct 7/20 24 and still haven’t received it. Apparently multiple problems with it but they just apologize as we lost our summer with it. We canceled 2 vacation homes tho we would have our dream rv. Everyone from the bottom up lies . I warn you stay away from Blue Compass Newtown Ct Show less

We have traveled long distance and camped near in lovely campgrounds. This rig is easy to set up - I am 62 yr old female (this is our first Rv) I am able to set up by myself. All the systems are easy to use. The manual is helpful. It has storage space galore - honestly way more than a person needs unless you choose to be a full timer. The tv antenna picks up a number of channels and the dvd players work great. Nice for a couple and a couple of children or grands. Show less

Love the idea of Rving but don't love the idea of a 40 ft-er? This Vista is the perfect size that gives plenty of room, all the amenities needed and a comfortable place to dwell whether you are parking it or driving cross country. It is great at cooling and wonderful for heating. Hot water is pretty instant. Loads of storage within and under the unit. Setting up is a breeze. Show less

Winnebago is a standard for the RV industry. They have been around forever and make a good quality product. The cabinetry is beautiful and for a moderately priced class A motorhome, you get a lot for you money. This particular vehicle has a new engine with only 13000 miles on it due to a bad oil change done by and independent company. They replaced the engine at their cost. This particular unit has new a/c and batteries throughout. They have kept all the repair receipts and also have a vin checkup showing the unit has never been in an accident. Show less

Let's start with acknowledging that this was my very first RV and I had very limited driving experience and zero with owning an RV. I did my research and determine that the class A would be our best. We had just sold everything we owned and we were now going to be full time RVers. After looking at everything from fixer uppers to almost like new, we could easily see the quality difference in the Winnebago Vista LX. We looked at cabinets, door hinges, floor plan and ease of use. By far, it was the best. We have now had our Vista for almost 3 years and still love it. Being in the automotive business all my life, we did some things right away. The RV only had 18,00 miles on it when we purchased it, but I put all new Koni shocks on and steer stabilizer. For a newbie, it drove great. I also had 3 part fuel injection service done (gas engine) and use Amsoil . I do have an advantage over some owners. I'm mechanically inclined so prefer to fix things myself. I suspect that the major frustration owners have is dealing with the service dept. at any dealer. Competent mechanics are few and far between. I owned a shop for 1/2 my life and can fix most minor problems. Overall we are thrilled with our Vista LX and for a small RV, it has one of the best floor plans we have seen. Show less

We have had numerous RVs and this one fit our needs the best. It is small enough to fit into many state and federal parks and large enough for our comfort. It is easy to setup and pack up. It is easy to drive in town and on the highway. Advancing age has determined that it is time to sale. Show less

Pristine condition, easy to drive, simple to set up and to take down. Spacious on the inside yet only 28’ long, so qualifies for most federal, stare, and local campground size limits. Perfect rig for a couple and two kids or grandkids. Show less

Superb layout. Love the bunkhouse layout with 2 bunk beds plus an extra over-the-cabin bunk. Tons of storage and outside entertainment! It has served our family well, it really is the perfect motorhome for a family of 5! Show less
