We love our Winnebago. It has a very durable design. The only con we have is, we wished it came with a 2nd AC in the bedroom. Other than that it is absolutely perfect, we have a family of 6 there is plenty of space and drives real smooth on the highway with tons of storage. I'm also really impressed with the performance of the Ford V10. Overall, very happy with it and really love the Winnebago brand. Show less

We bought this RV new with the intent to live in it and travel continuously. It fulfilled its purpose perfectly. It provides all the essential features and functions that are required for full time living. The floor plan is nicely organized to enable full time living and to accommodate occasional visitors. Given a more generous budget to work with, we might have preferred a diesel pusher, but the Ford chassis and drive train never really disappointed. In 7 and a half years and 60,000 miles of travel, we never experienced a roadside failure. We intentionally wanted a shorter length for maneuverability and for access to locations which might have length restrictions. This model was ideal for achieving that objective and still providing a comfortable living space. All systems functioned as efficiently as we needed and expected. We never considered our travel as camping as we were connected to utilities virtually all the time. We essentially wanted a moveable apartment. This coach was well suited to our purposes and I would make exactly the same choice if I were in the market today. Show less

We absolutely love this Mercedes Diesel Winnebago. Perfect size for 2-4 people. Great fuel efficiency and easy to drive. Beautiful inside and out and excellent storage and livability for a 25.5ft rig. We have not towed with it but it handles 5000 lbs. we have found that its cargo storage is so well designed it can hold more than some larger units. Depending on how it is driven, one can expect 15 to18 miles per gallon. Show less

Showcasing freedom with combined upscale comfort. In this Navion 24V you will Create memories to last a lifetime. With the dependable diesel-powered Mercedes Sprinter chassis you are in control. This Navion has been well cared for, it is immaculate. My wife and I have taken 4 trips to Texas from California, to visit our grand children. The stove and the shower have never been used. We have had no pets in the coach. The quality of the Navion is built with our needs in mind. In the winter we are nice and cozy when driving across country, watching tv or sleeping. The air conditioning works fabulous even in Texas. summer stays cool inside the coach moving down the road or stopped for the day. The steel construction keeps it quiet inside and gives you a definite sense of safety. Show less

We have owned our trailer now for 7 years . We usually take it out west to Colorado & Utah from Florida every other year for 2-3 weeks. We tow with a Ram 1500 & tows very easily behind it. Through the years we have put tires on it fixed a small roof leak ourselves and just recently put a new water pump in. But overall it was warm in the cold camping , cold in the hot camping & for the most part everything worked most of the time. Replaced AC after 3 years but overall we have a had a great time with this trailer! Show less

I bought one of these with low miles from a dealer and have been camping full time for 5 months in it. It drives beautifully. The diesel engine is peppy and has never failed me. Steering is tight and the motorhome always feels like it's going right where I want it to go. Storage is pretty well thought out and I'm still working out how to use it all. Some oddities I have noticed: The vehicle is actually a 2016 model, even though the Winnebago is a 2017 model. There are fuses ALL over the place and they're hard to access. My rear view camera went down recently and I discovered that they installed it without a user friendly removable connection. The cable out of the camera goes right into a hole in the rear wall of the motorhome. There's no connectors there. So in order to replace the camera, I need to either run my own cable or splice the tiny bare wires or install my own connectors. Winnebago doesn't provide adequate information about certain things in the manual. I had to ask them what the roof was comprised of because I wanted to install an additional solar panel. The cable run for the rear view camera is a total mystery. There's no spare tire, which may be normal for motorhomes, but I thought that was odd. Show less

I like the floor plan, also like the style. But the company itself does not stand behind their product. Very poor workmanship no quality control. This could be a very nice motorhome. If they would put some quality behind it. For example, the interior fell apart in three years, the vinyl all delaminated. The floor structure on my unit was only spot welded. Someone forgot to go back and finish a welds before they installed the floor trusses, so the reinforcement struts all broke out of their spot Wells the structure cracked , compartments sagged, after that water gets pumped in from the tires if you’re driving in the rain. And Winnebago will not stand behind their screwup I would suggest finding a company with more pride in there coach. It’s a shame that a company that’s been around more than 50 years put out this poor quality of a product. I can’t imagine COMPANY) staying in business that way. Show less

We purchased this unit brand new. We were looking at other models but we thought Winnebago had a much better quality so we paid almost $5,000 more thinking that we were going to get a better unit. A soft spot in the floor developed. So I researched it and found that that model between 2015 in 2019 had that issue. We brought our unit to a Winnebago dealer. They looked at the issue and said it was not from water leaking in. When we asked Winnebago what they could do for it they told us nothing. It is clearly a defect in the way it was built. They have fixed others on a good faith repair who were original owners. They said the warranty had lapsed. Now we're stuck with a $4,000 repair bill. When I called Winnebago to talk about it they brushed me off. They were going to always get back to me after each phone call and never did. Marquardt RV in Oregon Wisconsin lookrf the unit over and did their best to get Winnebago to fix the issue. Markquart RV was excellent to work with. This will be the last Winnebago we ever buy.

DO NOT BUY A WINNEBAGO PERIOD! Even our service center said “they do not build them like they used to”. We bought a brand new 2017 Winnebago Vista with a Forever Warranty and have meticulously maintained the coach every since. If I were not a handyman and former mechanic, this coach would be in the shop more than we’ve used it. The Forever Warranty is all but useless and Winnebago Customer Service is a joke. The last straw was when we nicked a picnic table while leaving a campground and the entire backwall almost tore off because it was rotted out from underneath because of wheel spray from faulty manufacturing. After numerous back and forth with them, the insulted our intelligence and offered to repair it for $4750 plus tax, IF we would drive 1200 miles one way to their factory. All our estimates were less than what they were offering. We had it fixed locally for $4200. They would NOT reimburse us! I would never recommend anyone buy a Winnebago product. Show less
