Winnebago VOYAGE 2831RB 2831RB reviews

We purchased our Winnebago brand new in 2022. Unfortunately, we have had problems from day1. Within a month, our fridge quit working. It was fixed under warranty but we were without a fridge for a year. Immediately, our window blinds began falling apart. Over the past three years, almost every blind has broken. Two summers ago, the A/C quit working. It was not covered under warranty. We purchased a portable A/C and continue to use it. We received a quote of $4000.00 to repair it. We then noticed that one of the windows was leaking a great deal when it rained. We hired a carpenter who attempted to fix the window, but it still continues to leak. Our RV is permanently parked in a campground. We don’t move it. My husband and I are retired have taken good care of it. Presently, it isn’t enjoyable spending time in it; there is so much wrong with it. It has been so disappointing. We would sell it but there’s so much wrong with it that we wouldn’t get much money for it. We would never purchase another Winnebago. Show less

This is the second RV I have owned recently, I had an Imagine Grand Design 2800BH prior to buying this Winnebago. They are the same year. Layout is similar but the Imagine uses the space a little more effectively. The big difference is in build quality. The Winnebago doesn’t fail to surprise me with just how cheaply and poorly it is built. Almost everyday I use it, it has a new and exciting problem for me to address. The water lines are a cheap Chinese knockoff thread re-enforced PEX type tubing, and if you spring a leak (which you will!) they are a real PIA to fix as PEX rings are just a hair too small to fit, and clamps lead to more leaks! The stabilizer are junky, and fail one after the other, the floor squeaks and flexes (even with the stabilizers dow) and the overall feel of this Winnebago is just cheap and worrisome. I am pretty sure Winnebago is short for Winne Bag O **** ! Show less

I lived in Montana for about a year in this camper while traveling for work. Really loved the layout of this camper and it was nicely designed. Truly enjoyed watching tv at night with the fireplace going during cold Montana nights. HOWEVER, to say it had problems is an understatement. The leaks never stopped, none of the plumbing was properly installed. I stopped counting at 20 leaks. The fridge stopped working after 5 months and the board had to be replaced. The bedroom never closed correctly so I gave up on using it. The table ripped out of the floor when it was towing. The bed frame collapsed when I got up one morning and I am not a very big person. One of the motors on the jack had to be replaced because it stopped working. Both of the theater seats broke and wouldn’t recline. The seal on the shower wasn’t done correctly and caused water damage. The ac sounded like a helicopter hovering on the roof. This was my 5th camper and I take very good care of my things but I actually felt anxious worrying about what was breaking next and how hard (and expensive) it would be to get it fixed. Winnebago has ZERO QC. What a piece of junk. I believe at one time they were known for their quality but times have changed. Show less

On our first trip we ran out of water at 1/3 tank. I drained the tank when we got home and there was >15 gallons still in the tank. I brought it in to the dealer and they confirmed what I told them. I was told by winnebago this is per design. The dealer said it’s not right. I spent over $55,000 for this unit and cannot get a remedy for an issue that’s clearly not right. Show less

Where do I begin?, Roof leaks, plumbing problems, plumbing leaks, , appliance failures, storage door leaks, mechanical problems. Purchased new in February 2022 from General RV (a whole other horrible experience) and nothing but problem from delivery until today. It's been back to General RV at least 10 times and back to Winnebago for 3 and 1/2 months and is still n ot repaired properly. You tell them exactly what the problem is and they come back and tell it seems to be working properly and never fix it. And General RV and Winnebago point fingers at each other and nothing gets fixed. Show less

This is only a partial list of problems on a NEW unit. Sad thing is I have cc'd Winnebago Service on all these issue and not one call or email from them. Re: Damage and Delivery of My Winnebago Voyage - Part 8 Well now that we’ve had rain you can add two major water leaks to lists of problems with this piece of garbage. The storage area has a leak, I suspect through the doors, to the point where I had puddles inside the storage area and it leaked into the closed area where the plumbing and electrical enter the unit behind the service panel. Additionally, after cleaning that up, I sat in a chair in the slide-out and within a minute my wife and I heard water running. She followed the sound toward the bedroom only to discover water streaming down onto the nightstand from the closet above. She opened the closet but there was no water in the closet. The water was entering mid-wall where the bottom of the closet was screwed into the exterior. I suspect there is a roof leak and it followed the channel to a screw hole in the side of the wall. Someone needs to be here Monday to check all the seals and stop these leaks OR you can pick this piece of garbage up and refund our money. I’m done. Part 5 - Add three more issues to the list of problems on this piece of garbage you sold me. Your guys came out and repaired two of the three issues but upon trying to fix the fridge light they discovered an electrical problem that I am waiting to hear about. One of the relays in the fridge control panel is damaged and has now made the fridge light unusable. Add to that, the “Security Lights” on the exterior front of the trailer are not working; another electrical issue. In addition to that your tech was having trouble closing the fridge door and I discovered why. The left side door that has the cross-door sealing strip is mounted about 3/16” lower than the right and because of that the cross-door sealing bar is not engaging the closing mechanism; it’s riding underneath it. As part of that problem I think the sealing strip is damaged and is causing wear on the back of the strip and the fridge liner. See all the pictures. As we approach our first camping trip the problems mount. Fix it immediately or pick this piece of garbage up and refund my money. We are getting very, very close to lawyer time. Part 4- So my “new” Winnebago is finally delivered two months after purchasing it at the Harrisburg Show with additional problems. We didn’t come back to Harrisburg to re-inspect it based on your promise and guarantee that you would personally do a walkthrough and make sure everything was “new” condition. Somehow your perception of new and my perception of new must be different. The gravel guard on the exterior lower front is not fitted and mounted properly. Someone stole a screw from the molding that should be holding the sheet metal and put it in the corner to hold it fast but there is still a gap that will catch wind at highway speeds and tear it off. I look in the shower and one of panel mounting pins is popped out and head is snapped off. Additionally there is a pink mess in the shower. Lastly the fridge that was previously in shamble is still not properly mounted and is going to fall out from vibration on the first trip. AND, I CANNOT FIND THE KEYS. They were not in the pouch with the instructions and not in any of the drawers. I cannot begin to express my disappointment and dissatisfaction with your company’s handling of my purchase. My wife and purchased the camper with great expectations on February 26th. We felt your company gave us a great deal and we were excited in anticipation of receiving our camper. It has been nothing short of a major disappoint ever since. Upon our deposit at the show the show the camper should have been locked and not allowed to be opened as we had seen other companies do the same, yet when we came to do our orientation and walkthrough we find there had been a “small water incident” in the bathroom causing the laminate on the bathroom closet to peel. And, upon opening the refrigerator, the light was completely falling off the refrigerator wall. We also discovered the cracked fender but that was probably damage at factory installation. Granted you willingly offered to repair all three but that took until March 30th. So we were a full month without the camper. Then on Friday, April 1st you call me and tell me that the awning was damaged while moving it around your facility and it will take another 5 weeks at the earliest to get our unit. This now impinges on our planned inaugural camping trip with the Winnebago. This experience has been terrible so far. Your service team doesn’t answer calls and doesn’t return messages; not what I expected from a company the size of General RV. Show less
