Winnebago reviews

We just got it home and started to prepare it for a break-in trip. I put the awning out overnight to dry out. About 8:15 to 8:30 the next morning I noticed the wind was picking up so I started to go outside to retract the awning and it blew apart before I was able to. (So much for the wind sensor.) The wind wasn't as strong as it would become later but the unsupported design couldn't take even a general gust. What wind there was at the time was coming from the other side of the unit from where the awning was located. We also had problems with the retractable step not functioning, so we spent $1,750 having emergency service get the motorhome roadworthy, On Nov 5th we got it to the dealer. Finally today, Dec 17th, we were told by the dealer that WGO WAS NOT GOING TO HONOR WARRANTY. So I guess we will have to take further action against WGO to make them honor their obvious warranty. I cannot let something as egregious as this happen without consequence. I had always thought WGO was one of the higher quality builders, but I guess I was very wrong. I do not recommend anything from WGO now that I know how they behave. Show less

My wife and I bought our beautiful rig in winter of 2020. We moved in full time and went on a cross country tour with our auto hauler and Subaru in tow from Boston Massachusetts down to the Gulf coast and across to the west coast then went north up the pacific coast highway into Washington state then back across into Montana and south down to Arizona searching for our dream log cabin home. We were full time RV’ers retired and living the dream for about a year. Our Forza was absolutely the perfect choice for us and our 2 cats. We had one slider issue about 6 months into our trip and a blown intake gasket in Oklahoma City about 8 months later. I was able to take care of the slider issue myself after replacing the slider motor and we had purchased an extended factory warranty that covered the drive train and chassis so a couple of days at the Freight Liner Truck Company took care of the intake gasket and they inspected our Forza completely before they released it back to us in excellent condition ready for the road. We absolutely loved our experience in this unit and would highly recommend the Winnebago Forza 36G diesel pusher to anyone searching for the kind of road trip dreams we found in ours. Thank you Winnebago for creating such a comfortable user friendly unit that has contributed to so many wonderful memories in our lives. Show less

We puchased this coach with 2,000 miles on it and have driven it coast to coast from north to south over the past several months. Just my wife and I. Very satisfied with our purchase. Full timing, we tow a jeep and are very comfortable. Happy that our coach is not a foot longer. Just a few minor maintenance issues over the past several months the I have been able to repair on my own. Very happy with the overall quality of the coach. The Ford V8 and chassis are perfectly fine for our needs. Sure a diesel would be quieter and ride smoother but the additional cost is not worh it for us. Looking forward to the next several months and trip home. I highly recommend this rig for a couple looking for a comfortable and affordable lifestyle. We get compliments all the time from other RVers and I think that says something about the size and comforts that come with this coach. Show less

After replacing water pump once and the pressure valve 3 separate times and having the generator removed because it refused to work after only 34 hours. I am disappointed with this unit. Mercedes chassis problems were never resolved. Windows will not shut properly and stove igniter failed. Panels warp easily in cabinets. Show less

The 42GD is a great home on wheels for a couple who works from home but still wants the freedom to travel. It has a great floor plan with central living area and front kitchen. The 4 slides are opposing which makes for spacious rooms. There is an immense amount of storage available. The ride is very smooth and quiet. It is a joy to drive. The 450 hp engine provides plenty of power in hilly conditions even when towing and we’ve averaged over 7 mpg in all of our travels. Show less

I have used this camper three times. The battery was destroyed because the solar charger was sending too much energy to it. The vent cover fell off on the highway. The slide was hitting when extending and retracting. It ruined the trim. The microwave was faulty and had to be replaced. While replacing the microwave, the outlet fell apart and had to be replaced. The bathroom door guide had to be replaced. The stovetop had a recall and needed to be fixed. Alarmingly, the exterior door does not stay closed , even when locked. Walking inside the camper or pulling it on the road causes the locked door to pop open Show less

We bought a new 2021 36ft 5th wheel RV, and the clear coat on the front cap started flaking after one year. It's been stored under cover, washed only with RV-safe products, and had paint protection applied by the dealer. Despite this, Winnebago and the dealer won't help, blaming each other . My $70,000+ RV looks terrible, and we are now embarrassed to go camping!! Buyers beware I'll never buy from Winnebago again due to their poor customer support and service!! Show less

2021 Winnebago Voyage 3134rl. While under the structural warranty the side wall started showing a crack off the corner of the slide. It was determined the structure in the wall had failed. Inside the wall also started coming apart. The flex in the wall was so bad that the wall separated from the roof. So what did Winnebago do? Well after weeks of pics and back and forth with the warranty department THEY sent me an email stating they will not be participating in the repair. They would not give me any explanation and they closed the claim. Which is basically like hanging up on you and blocking your phone number. I could no longer contact via email on the claim. I pushed on leaving messages and sending emails and received ZERO response. As someone who has owned a couple other products by them I was shocked how terrible the company treated me. AGAIN IT WAS STILL WITHIN THE TIME FRAME OF THE STRUCTURE WARRANTY. So my opinion is NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM WINNEBAGO OR ANY OF THERE COMPANIES!!! Show less

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

We purchased this rv from Blue Compass in Newtown Ct 7/20 24 and still haven’t received it. Apparently multiple problems with it but they just apologize as we lost our summer with it. We canceled 2 vacation homes tho we would have our dream rv. Everyone from the bottom up lies . I warn you stay away from Blue Compass Newtown Ct Show less
