I bought this unit to live in full time, I've had a few issues. 1st, the Dometic 310 toilet would not hold water in the bowl. Turns out the seal would not fit properly due to a manufacturing flaw. 2nd, the water bypass valve has a leak. Since I'm on the road (Washington State), and not in Utah. I had to take it to an authorized Winnebago dealer. It's called Awesome RV, in Chehalis WA. They have been great, my only issue is Winnebago. They authorized the work (all warranty of course), but will not allow the dealers to purchase parts in their local area. Winnebago has to ship the parts themselves, and that's where the problem begins. The toilet, and the bypass valve are available right here in Washington. It took almost 3 weeks for them to ship these items. The valve came it with the wrong fittings, the dealer is now looking locally to find fittings. The toilet is yet to show up. All the while, I'm scrambling to find affordable housing until it's ready. My overall thought is this, my trailer seems to be built pretty good, there seems to be issues with some the parts they install. Awesome RV has been great to work with. I think Winnebago needs to address issues on their end. Allow the dealers to get the owners unit repaired and back onthe road. It would save me a lot of time and money. I wasn't planning to be in Washington as the rainy season begins. I like to be south where it's warmer. And dry. Show less

Rough and rugged with all the comforts of home. Small for towing but with a pull down bed and two couches it sleeps FOUR! The beds stow away for a roomy toy hauler. Includes a full kitchen, bath and shower inside. Incredible design to fit it all in, and tall enough to stand up! We absolutely loved the big double toy hauler doors and added a custom screen to enjoy the view. Solar panels already installed keep the fridge cold for boon docking, with the option of shore power and water when you prefer more luxury. Show less

After traveling in my Winnebago Voyage 3235 RL for 4 months, I can confidently say I would recommend any of my friends against Winnebago. In the few short months I've owned the unit: - The slides are already rusted as is the rest of the metal exposed underneath. - Boards are separating from the kitchen island. - Both slide outs have leaked, and the ceilings above and walls around are now rippled from the water damage. - Kitchen sink leaked. - Shower leaked from around the unsealed door as well as the drain. - There are nails that completely missed the boards they're supposed to hold. - Floor flexes uncomfortably near the rear when walking across it. - Screws have fallen out of the trash can. - Shower wall isn't fitted properly and bulges out. - Wall above the bed isn't sealed and has a gap across it. - Tension pole to help lift the bed is broken. - The handle to empty one of the gray tanks has bent and broken. - Electric fireplace heater is making a loud whining noise when turned on - The fridge randomly stops working with an E3 error that also randomly stops, sometimes in a couple minutes, sometimes in a couple hours - The battery had to be replaced My one request for help from the dealer went unanswered, and Winnebago has no interest in working with me aside from telling me to go back to the dealer. Poor quality and poor customer service all the way around Show less

Below is a copy of my latest email to Winnebago. I bought a brand new bus that had manufacturing defects which led to severe water damage. We have decided the situation with this motorhome is beyond unacceptable. This is more than warranty work. It's not like this is our camper that we have been using and something went wrong. It is brand new. I have never used it. We purchased it new on April 24th knowing that there was a minor repair that we were told would be completed in less than a week. Here we are almost a month later and nobody even knows what's going on. These are the facts though. The whole passenger side front end of the bus is water damaged to the point that all the Luan is rotten. With mold and mushrooms growing out of the wall. The seals on the roof were not installed / applied correctly by Winnebago during manufacturing. The joint where the roof meets the sidewall in the area of the leak was not properly mated and sealed. These manufacturing defects caused serious water damage. I also picked up high moisture levels on all the walls by both slide outs. I'm waiting for general RV to peel that wall paper back to confirm water damage there too. There was no putty tape or silicone sealant on any of those joints so I expect the moisture reading to be correct and all that paneling to be water damaged also. I sealed them to mitigate further damage, but I suspect the damage has been done already. The coach is so waterlogged that I found mold and even mushrooms growing on the wall. I have photos of this disgusting problem. I'd like you to know that I'm not some wealthy person that can just blow this off. This purchase is a huge financial burden and was purchased as a living situation. I just retired after 24 years in the military and this was the next chapter in life. It has turned into a disaster. This is a brand new coach. I have never used it. It is rotten from water damage caused by manufacturing defects and lack of quality control. I paid for a brand-new coach, not this rotten POS. We want Winnebago to either, buy this bus back, replace it with a new undamaged unit like we paid for, or arrange for General RV to take this bus back and get us our old RV back and somehow fix the financial parts of this. Also, I would be surprised if nobody at General RV knew about this. I need to know right now if Winnebago is going to work with me or against me to get this resolved. I'm not okay with driving this 1600 miles back to the factory then waiting weeks or months for repairs then driving 1600 miles back. I bought a brand new camper. haven't used it, and this isn't a new camper issue or resolution. Show less

I was searching for this specific motorhome and floor plan. I was fortunate to find this offering relatively close to me. I visited the owners and they gave an excellent presentation showing all the features and conveniences the Winnebago ERA 70A has to offer and they are considerable. Their coach was literally “factory fresh” and “showroom clean”. It is a late model with hardly any miles on it. The owners graciously offer a test drive and it was a fantastic ride. Having owned and driven big Class A diesel pusher motorhomes over 100,000 miles, I was truly amazed at the comfort, smooth ride, and quiet ride the Mercedes Chassis provides. Sadly my circumstances changed and I was not able to complete the purchase. But make no mistake this motorhome is an incredible value with loads of warranty left to go. Show less

Love this RV. Love how we can park it anywhere yet comfortable to cook relax and sleep in. The absolute perfect vehicle in its class. The Mercedes ride is smooth sailing. Service at Mercedes has been above average. No problems with the Winnebago half . Ergonomically designed for inside days when it rains too. Show less

We purchased our Winnebago in August 2023. First problem: Dealer misadvertised the trailer with a 12-volt refrigerator. First day we owned the trailer, it had a water leak from the slide out. First trip we took: Recliner was broken, drawer under stove broke, desk (table) broke. Dealer took it in for warranty work and kept it for months. According to the Dealer, it took that time to get the repairs approved. We just got it back. Everything is repaired and we are hoping we are finished with the problems and now will be able to enjoy our camper after six months of problems. We thought we checked it out really well. But did not find these problems. Great floor plan but be careful of quality. Show less

The Pocket is a fun little van that my husband and l loved traveling in. It has everything you need to camp and travel comfortably. The refrigerator runs great on solar or shore power. The front seats both turn to add more flexibility to the living area. The screen on the sliding door and back doors allow you to keep the doors open and the bugs out. We traveled for three weeks and only used the solar to power the refrigerator, charge our phones and laptops and run my husband’s cpap machine at night with no issues at all. The remote control makes it easy to turn the ceiling fan off and on. The window covers allow you to have as much privacy as you like with the ease of a zipper. The storage under the bed allowed us to bring along chairs and an outdoor shade tent and a large bin for clothes and food. It is so easy to drive and it parks just like a car. Show less

This was designed from the start as a wheelchair handicap accessible van/RV. On the plus side it is short that you can use the 159 inch regular length version as a means to get around town as it will fit into standard parking spaces. It drives well as long as you watch the tire pressure. If you put more than 65 psi in the front tires you will find it rides very hard. I got 18 mpg on the interstate but only 14 mpg around town. Sitting high, it is easy to see traffic, even over the tops of pickup trucks. There are some negatives. The biggest negative is this is designed for a person in a wheelchair yet the side door is a manual door. The control for the wheelchair lift has a button for the door but no power door option. NONE of the seat belts are comfortable. Rather than using the Promaster seatbelt system on the front they elected to use a system where the shoulder harness is built into the seat. That means the shoulder strap comes right across you neck. You will need a shirt with collar or a padded cover for the belt. In the back, the two seat belts pull up instead of back. They need to hire a seat belt consultant as none of the seat belts really work well and are uncomfortable. Yes, I would buy it again but would start doing modifications right from the start.
