2001 Winnebago reviews

Thanks to VW,'s terrible service network and support, we lived in our Rialta for almost 6 months. That was not the original plan, but Volkswagen's incompetent electronics (the transmission controller) failed about a month into what was planned on being a half year trip and we were stranded in New Mexico for all of the winter 2013 to 2014. I spent most of that winter troubleshooting and repairing the electronics Volkswagen had abandoned. We were quite relieved when we sold our Rialta. However, the Winnebago portion of the camper was terrific. Two senior adults, a mid-sized dog, and a cat lived comfortably in that small space through a winter. While the factory floor carpet is a dumb idea (which I replaced with a hardwood floor), the rest of the layout of that camper is terrific. Show less

Our third Winnebago and we have thoroughly enjoyed all three. Easy maintenance, easy driving, easy living. Much easier then trailers and we have owned four pull trailers and one fifth wheel. We just love our motor home life! Show less

My overall experience with this RV has been amazing and great for my family and I. It served us very well. I’ve been happy with this exact model and type of Winnebago Brave RV I purchased. Now it must go to a family who can find great use in & for it. I once took a trip from Oregon to New Mexico and it runs very smooth. The turning radius on this RV is perfection. When driving, you can hardly feel any bumps on the road while on the RV. Also, for one year this was a living RV for my ex fiancé and her son. She as well absolutely loved it. She stated it was the best RV she’s ever lived in. She loved the amenities, comfortable beds & seats, how spacious it was and the overall feel of the RV for living in. Also to include & give more information about this. RV, all undercarriage parts like shocks, brakes, ignition system, batteries, generator repair, pullout bed switch, top canopies(new),Top portion of RV repaired, brand new cover etc. All undercarriage parts have either been replaced or repaired for new owner. We can talk more about it if you’d like to know more about the RV and its replacements. Overall, There is absolutely nothing I disliked about this RV and I would most definetly and highly recommend this RV to anyone looking for the best RVs. I know it will still serve someone (single person) or a family very well. . I hope this helped! Good Luck! Show less

We purchased this RV new in 2002. I liked the floorplan with the galley/couch slide on the street side, and the dinette on the patio side. We would camp at the beach, parking parallel, facing south, so the ocean was always on the patio side. I'd sit for hours watching the dolphins and waves. Our granddaughter was three when we purchased it. She traveled all over the country with us, in search of dinosaurs of course. My husband and I spent months at a time in the rig and found it to be very liveable. I used the front dash pullout for the computer so could keep the dinette free for meals. Traveling to Alaska last summer was a treat. We did have to replace the genset mid way, so its brand new. Throughout the years, everyone that came into the rig loved the kitchen layout, with a built-in spice rack and an appliance garage to store the toaster and coffee pot. This rig has great carrying capacity and is perfect for dry camping with large holding tanks. This would be a great starter rig for those wanting to try out the RV lifestyle. Show less

Great RV with really good quality finishing inside, the floor plan is well laid out. The Ford V10 has lots of power to move the Winnebago. Show less

Bought used 1 year ago. Been north to Canada and south to Florida twice. Trouble free. Drives great! Biggest complaint: not near enough ventilation in bedroom. needs more windows that open in bedroom! Very pleased-would buy another Winnebago in a heartbeat! It now has about 50k miles on it.

We have made many memories in our RV. Took our grand daughter out East and our other grandchildren out West. We have had family gathering where we once had a bad storm and there was 13 of us in the motorhome. I really liked the idea of traveling down the road and able to make lunch for the kids and the back bedroom has a hookup that runs on battery so they watched their dvd as we traveled. We have met so many great people and seen so many marvelous sites. Show less
