Winnebago Sunstar 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

We have had numerous RVs and this one fit our needs the best. It is small enough to fit into many state and federal parks and large enough for our comfort. It is easy to setup and pack up. It is easy to drive in town and on the highway. Advancing age has determined that it is time to sale. Show less

Pristine condition, easy to drive, simple to set up and to take down. Spacious on the inside yet only 28’ long, so qualifies for most federal, stare, and local campground size limits. Perfect rig for a couple and two kids or grandkids. Show less

Superb layout. Love the bunkhouse layout with 2 bunk beds plus an extra over-the-cabin bunk. Tons of storage and outside entertainment! It has served our family well, it really is the perfect motorhome for a family of 5! Show less

We moved from a small Forest River C into this small Winnebago A last year. We couldn't be happier with our choice. This RV has a great floor plan, with a couch facing the dinette; the very comfortable cabin chairs turn to complete the living area. For sleeping, there's the huge king-sized bed or the Euroloft drop down bed. The dinette and couch also turn into beds for a total of 7 sleeping spots. The bathroom features a large shower and plenty of storage, including a corner medicine cabinet, a vanity, and a bonus drawer in the side wall. For entertainment, there's a TV over the dinette, a tv in the bedroom, and an exterior TV for watching under the awning. For meals, there is a large fridge, an oven and a microwave. Storage is a huge strength for this RV. The class A means a lot of basement storage. The interior matches that generosity of space by including storage in drawers under the bed, a closet with two drawers below in the bedroom, and cabinets overhead all along the ceiling. The difference in quality between a Winnebago and the others is pretty obvious. In the year we've had it, we've been very pleased at the lack of little annoying issues. If I were in charge of designing these RV's, I would add more counter space and widen the pantry cabinets. I also wonder why we have to plug into the generator when we need to use it. But those complaints pale when compared to the impressive quality and the wonderful floorplan. Show less

This motorhome is up to date and was extremely well taken care of. I really appreciated the closet space...a very large garment closet that holds all the clothes a girl could want! A 6 drawer dresser plus the bed also easily raises up with tons of storage under. I really liked the updated look of the interior and the kitchen had plenty of storage for anything needed for gourmet cooking. As for under the hood all I can say is... IT'S VERY CLEAN! Show less

We have had our Sun star almost a uear & 1/2 now. It's really nice for traveling even tho gas mileage is horrible but that is to be expected. The engine has power to pull mountains even towing a trailer or a vehicle. Now the negatives. The quality is HORRIBLE! we have had to take it to the dealer about 20 times for numerous issues with parts missing, flooring coming up, trim falling off, water pump,.... Even with the warranty covering the repairs, this was costly with $200 in fuel each trip. Now that the warranty has expired, it is even more expensive. The warranty is good but doesn't last long enough for this many problems. I would not recommend this to anyone. Show less

Great RV. Have to sell for medical reasons or I would not be selling. Took out couch and replaced with 2 recliners. We are living in it and have no complaints.We have traveled some but mainly have a lot next to a lake. Show less

Drives well, plenty of power, short turn radius. Dinette makes meals in the motorhome comfortable and convenient. Plenty of storage, particularly in the bedroom. Wardrobe is large and convenient. Galley is well laid out and meal preparation is straightforward. Driver's visibility is excellent and there are plenty of aids to situational awareness. Interior lighting is excellent. Bathroom is compact but well laid out and easy to use. External storage is plentiful and secure. Even though the length of the motorhome is compact, living in it doesn't feel cramped. With the slides extended the unit feels roomy, but even with them all retracted the toilet area and bedroom are accessible and meal preparation is easy. Climate control allows for comfortable temperatures in all weather. Show less
