Winnebago reviews

Overall this is a top of the line RV for the price you will pay. Things like real wood blinds, central vacuum system, very large 4 door refrigerator and very large bathroom shower design with added makeup sink and lighting in the bedroom are just some of the amenities. Plus a giant rear full mirror closet across the back This unit drives like a dream cloud down the road, with tons of power from the 400hp Cummins. and is extremely stable in cross winds. This is our 5th RV so I feel I have a good reputation for reviewing a Motor Coach or RV unit Which leads me to it's only slightly dis-like for me. I would have wanted a better design for the cup holders and some of the areas for the switches could have been better. Minor in the bigger picture of everything else it has going for itself. Self leveling, outdoor fridge freezer, tons of storage, awnings everywhere really make this an excellent outdoor experience. To top that off the roof is an entire Solar Grid System with 11 batteries below. This along with a 7kw diesel generator can keep you off the beaten path for a long time. If not for wanting to go in a new directions in our traveling, I would never sell this rig. Show less

Would I buy it again? Mixed, but lean towards no! I’ve owned a Winnebago Travato since July 2023. Overall, it’s been a good van in terms of layout and concept, but ownership has come with more friction than I expected—especially once the warranty period ended. WHAT'S GOOD! The layout is excellent. It’s one of the best-designed van interiors out there, and the lithium battery system in place of a generator is a big win. Quiet, efficient, and well-suited for how many people actually use these vans. When things work, the Travato is comfortable, functional, and easy to live with. Early ownership experience: The first year to year-and-a-half involved several issues, which is fairly typical for RVs. Warranty work was handled by NIRV in Las Vegas and, to their credit, they typically did a solid job addressing problems that came up. That said, it was still a fair amount of downtime and coordination during what should be the “honeymoon” period. Manufacturer support (the real issue): Winnebago’s responsiveness has been very slow, and once the warranty expired, support became almost non-existent. Parts availability and clear guidance are a real problem. Requests often go unanswered or lead nowhere, and there’s very little ownership support once you’re out of warranty. Chassis / RAM dealer warning: Be aware that many RAM dealers are reluctant to perform warranty work on the vehicle side. Several dealers consider the van “altered” once Winnebago has done their conversion, which can lead to denied or delayed service even for legitimate chassis-related issues. This can be frustrating and time-consuming. **Important warning about windows / parts support: One major concern prospective buyers should know about: a factory-installed side window failed on my van after about three years. I discovered that both Winnebago and the window manufacturer no longer supply replacement parts for that window. The only manufacturer-supported solution is a full window replacement, which is extremely expensive—even though the window itself is otherwise fine and only small components failed. There is no clear interim safety guidance and no reasonable repair path using original parts. This is a serious planning and support failure, and something buyers should factor in, especially given the cost of the vehicle. Bottom line... the Travato is a well-designed van with a great layout and modern electrical system, but ownership requires patience and a tolerance for poor post-warranty support. If you’re comfortable handling issues yourself, navigating parts shortages, and advocating hard for service, it can still be a good rig. If you expect strong manufacturer backing long-term, be cautious and go in with eyes open. Show less

2529RG - Winnebago hit the mark with this model. This is a great RV for a full-time couple. It's 30' long, so it will fit in State and National parks. It has (2) grey tanks, so you can stay without hookups longer. You can get to everything with the slide closed for comfortable travel and overnight stays on the road. This model had (2) floor to ceiling pantries and an extra ward with drawers! Lots of storage in this unit. The underbed storage features an open cubby on each side of the bed, which we used for shoe storage, and a cubby in the front big enough for a pet bed. The light colors with midnight blue accents is light and cheery. The only con to this unit is dealing with dumping (2) grey tanks. Show less

I love this RV! It is not too long, so its easy to tow. Automatic leveling and auto-reconnect make hitching and unhitching a breeze. Outdoor kitchen is great for cooking while hanging out. The 2 AC units keep everything comfortable. The bunkhouse is separate and on the opposite side of the RV from the main bedroom, which is great for parents with kids! The bunkhouse sleeps 3. There is a ton of storage space. Show less

We love the quality and reasonable price of this rig, the versatility of the Travato G layout vs the K, the intelligent design of its systems, the garage storage under the bed, the ability to create a second sleeping area across the front cab, the safety of the two extra automotive seats and seat belts, the dining area achieved by turning the two cab seats around to create seating for four at the table, the ease of driving and parking, the gasoline vs diesel engine, the quiet trouble free gasoline generator, the quiet Coleman Mach AC unit, and the community of more than 20K Travato owners with a FB page that serves as a rich resource for all things Travato. We've owned two Travato Gs and they have both been trouble free and exceptionally enjoyable to travel in. Show less

Have had this for half a year, taking about one trip a month. Very comfortable camping. Love the outside kitchen and bathroom. Wish there was a little more room around the bed and the dining area seems dated. Cup holders don’t fit most of my cups. Very nice fit and finish. Show less

We experience problems with the slide out on day one. Back and forth to shop multiple times over two years and still not right. Took the rv to another shop and had full system replaced with the Vroom slide. Everything works great now except Winnebago does not want to cover the cost even though it never worked to begin with. Beware of Winnebago! Show less

I am a single camper with a dog. I wanted to love the camper I bought new Oct 2023 atLa Mesa RV. I had it 4 months and went to Georgia camping in January 2024. It was raining and very cold. My bathroom sky light started to leak rainwater badly. I had to buy a large tarp and the ranger helped me cover the roof till the rain stopped and I could head home. It says COMFORT TECH but when I ran the furnace I had condensation all inside the rear cabinets an kitchen sink area that I could see. The wood covering is peeling as others have said. On my way home I dropped it off at LaMesa RV in st Lucie fl. Winnebago blamed ME for not maintaining my roof. My response was 1 only had the camper 4 months. Thy then blamed La Mesa Rv for bad lot maintainence. It was ONLY then that LaMesa took off the skylight and found a bolt had cracked the plastic when it was installed. Then Winnebago fixed it. Two window shades have fallen down and I had to fix them. One of the side storage steel bins filled with water and ruined my vacuum I had stored there. I just emptied it and drilled a hole in the bottom so if it fills again it drains and I only store my chocks in there. This could have been a wonderful experience . Sad. And it is 2 hours up and 2 hours back from weston fl to LA Mesa in st Lucie to get service. BTW they had my trailer 6 weeks for the skylight. Another sad adventure. Thank you Show less

The Winnebago Solis is everything you'd want to have in a camper van. On the road, it's super convenient to be able to get to food and beverages. There's plenty of room for all passengers, and comfortable seats. The table by the bench seat offers a nice workspace for getting work done on the way to a destination. There's plenty of storage for clothes, food, and things for cooking. It has been comfortable when sleeping in cold states (Montana) and hot states (Florida) and everywhere in between. Show less
