2005 Winnebago reviews

First time owners who were a little intimidated about “operations” but found this bad boy basically runs itself. All the hookups were super easy and we bought 3 new batteries which were easy to hookup. The RV is far more spacious than we thought it would be. It’s like a small condo on wheels. It drives on now, but we’re buying a seat bar ($300) because everyone says it makes driving 10x easier. We spent 30min in the mall parking lot learning how to take the curves and even parallel park and then we HIT THE ROAD!!!! Show less

Excellent coach. 400hp Cummins make easy work of mountain grades even pulling a full size pick-up. IFS makes for easy steering even in high winds. Basement air and 7.5KW generator mean you can always have a cooled down coach for camping even on the hottest days. Kitchen is large and well laid out with the 4 door reefer opposite. Sliding doors allow separating the coach into 3 spaces, living, bath, and bedroom. This is particularly nice when traveling with guests. Storage is awesome and little amenities like lighted storage spaces, auto extend/rewind for the power cable, central vacuum, and fantastic fans all make this a particularly nice coach. The water and dump compartment is well engineered and allows you to leave the hoses always connected making dumping a breeze. Show less

We have owned this Coach for two years, this was well maintained and interior remodeled (hard wood floors, headliner redone,wood blinds new AC). Very comfortable driving and camping. Wonderful floor plan. People should consider an older well maintained coach. Show less

Love this floor plan. In particular: * Extra large BR with built in desk/office area. Quite unique and very practical. * Lots of closet and drawer space in BR. * BR has opposed slides - giving lots more room. * Center Bath area. Has doors to enable it to be shut off from both back and front - giving you a bathroom suit. Extra large as it covers the full width of the RV. We live in this rig full time and have traveled all over the US in it. Have added solar and Lithium batteries as well as flat screen TVs to replace original CRTs. Love it so much that we had a full body paint job done on it (replicating the original) to replace the aging decals - it now looks better than new. Show less

The Journey is aptly named. We love our Motorhome and have had 70,000 miles of many great Journeys in it. The 36 is a perfect size for accessibility to most all parks, yet it has plenty room. Compared to new models, we like the simplicity of this model. If we could buy a new one, exactly like it, we would do it. The only change we would make is the queen size bed it a bit tight for us. The next coach will have a king bed. We did not have any warranty issues so that category should really have an NA. We did travel to Winnebago twice for factory updates ( new tv and motion satellite) and repairs. This was a very good experience. Maybe somewhat costly, but compared to running the Motorhome all over for various disciplines, the one stop service and knowing work is done correctly is worth the cost. And while there, take the tour. It’s an impressive company with interesting history. Show less

This has been a very good RV for my wife & me.It has a washer/dryer that is a very good option to have.The galley is very well positioned,close to all of the appliances,the dinette,pantry & sink. I also had sway bars,front & rear installed plus a steer safe.These items make for better handling on windy days or when a truck should pass.We tow a Chev Equanox and the 8.1 does a very good job with the extra weight.The W24 Workhorse chassie gives us plenty of capacity to take what we want with us.Overall quality is very good.The floor plan is ideal,it allows access to the bath room area even when the slides are in.The split bath with the tub/shower is also a very good feature. The 4 door fridg. has been good for us on extended stays. There is ample storage both inside & out of the coach.The factory has been very supportive when any warranty work or routine maintenance has been needed.This has been a very good ride for us but age & health issues has forced us to give up this good life.

This rig drives amazingly. The layout in the cabin is wonderful for traveling and entertaining family. Roomy enough for a couple of grandsons. Bought the coach for my husband as a part of his bucket list. Unfortunately he passed and no fun traveling alone. Great coach with all the bells and whistles of a luxury rig at less than one quarter the price. Well maintained, clean and tows and drives like a dream. Show less

We have taken several trips, two adults and 2 dogs. Our RV is great. We love the floorplan. I am a 70 year old lady, and I can drive it comfortably. The only problem is that it has been in the harsh Texas sun for too many years. We need to re-do the outside. We are wondering where to get the exterior decals. Show less

Motor home is very liviable, and over All quality is very good. Excellent driving and towing capabilities. The 400 hp engine really adds to the performance. I am selling only because of my health, I love this coach! Show less
