Roaming Times RV press releases and RVing news 4/22/2010:

Rae Yost, for the News-Tribune, reports today in the Forest River Summit (we give a link to the full article below) that:

Consider it a celebration of a lifestyle.

Winnebago Industries of Forest City invited community members to help the company celebrate the 100th anniversary of the recreational vehicle industry on April 6.


“It's a lifestyle,” Winnebago chief executive officer Bob Olson said. “It's the freedom to roam the country.”

Winnebago has been part of that lifestyle for 52 years and is a leader in the RV industry.
 
“Winnebago has been a main employer for a number of years,” Olson said of the company's presence in the region.

Olson said the company wanted to acknowledge that presence as well as the contributions made by founders John and Luise Hanson when it invited the community to Tuesday's event which included tours of some of the company's facilities 20.

Olson hoped many local residents attended to learn “what Winnebago is all about.”

LATEST COMMENTS ABOUT WINNEBAGO RVs
Re: Winnebago ERA class B motorhomeLarryWe have taken our 2012 ERA to Reelfoot Lake Tennessee during Eagle-watching season and to the Everglades during mating season. In both locations we photographed birds from the window of the ERA using a bean bag mount and telephoto lens on the camera. At Reelfoot on a Mississippi River levee and on a loop road in the Everglades. Great photos. ERA is so maneuverable and comfortable. Wonderful vehicle.
Re: Winnebago View class C motorhome justinemilyUltimate ideas about caravans and trailers.
Re: Winnebago Destination class A motorhomeGaryPurchased a 2008 Winnebago Destination 39W. Drove from NC to CT and averaged 9.5 mpg. Coach handled like a dream and was a pleasure to drive. Would recommend this coach to anyone.
Re: Winnebago Via class A motorhome sgborchertWe recently purchased a Via 25T. We are having great difficulty finding a bedding (fitted and top sheets) that fit the "twin" beds, as they are narrower than conventional twins. Does anyone know where to find sheets that actually fit? Also, how to cover the two additional pillows that convert the 2 beds to 1 larger bed?
Re: Winnebago ERA class B motorhomeEllenI love the king sized bed!! My husband, chihuahua and I sleep like babies in it! The couch with a table is comfortable for dinners and tv watching at night. No twin beds for this family. Not yeat anyway!
Re: Winnebago Adventurer class A motorhomeMrs. SmithYour search engine is terrible!! When looking for specific rv reviews, it sends me everywhere but where I'd like to go...
Re: Winnebago Tour class A motorhomeJody27,150 miles, 350 Cummins, side radiator, exception condition and well cared for. See RVonline Ad or craigslist SFbayarea. This coach will not disappoint. Priced right $61,000 Call 925 348-4152
Re: Winnebago View class C motorhome ShadowPurchased a used 2008 View with 3000 miles on it in April 2010. Have put 32,000 miles including 4 trips over the Alaska Highway. Maintained very accurate mileage records and overall gets 15.5 mpg. Wind makes a big difference in mileages, as does #1 diesel. Occassionally get 18 and have experieced as low as 11.5 on I90 in S. Dakota in wind. Zero mechanical problems. ECR reprogrammed on recall but do not notice a difference. Drives like a dream although rough roads make it act like an RV. Added Aux sway bar from Sprinter Store and made a big difference in sharp corners, like Highway 1 thru the Oregon coast.
Re: Winnebago Destination class A motorhomeWayne D.We just purchased a 2008 Winnebago Destination and I was wondering if anyone else had this issue - when you try to level the unit the air bags don't dump - is this normal or has anyone else had this and if so how did you fix it?
Re: Winnebago View Class CR.H.R. Montana08 purchased 09. 55 thousand miles.Wind is big factor in MPG.Bed in back is high, hard to enter and hard to exit,but comfortable. MPG 12 to 16 at 65mph.$1200 for ten thousand check with replace plugs and service whole vehicle at a Mercedes dealer. MB warranty worked fine. MOst difficult to back up without hitting something. The wide angle camera lens is useless.should be a 24 millimter lens aimed so can see and judge hazards and following cars. Drives as good as a Cad.
Re: Winnebago View class C motorhome mike hi have a 2006 view and think it great have used it alot sort trips log trips great for 4 people enjoy
Re: Winnebago Destination class A motorhomeNick GreenPosted last comment. 2008!!!!! not 1998. Sorry!!
Re: Winnebago Destination class A motorhomeNick GreenWe have a 1998 Winnebago Voyage since new. Love it BUT we have paint flaking off the roof edges badly. Assumed effects of sun but then illogical and why not off cars/boats. Anyone know of any defect/restitution? Thanks.
Re: Winnebago Destination class A motorhomeeric bMe , my wife and four kids have had our 37ft destination sence July 08 when new, we have had a nightmere of a time with it, 16 trips to 3 different shops from WA. State to south Cal. Still not fixed, we are in discussion of what Winnebago is going to do with our lemon, love the RV everything about it, but ours is a macanical, electrical and unsafe coach, I express this before here but I see it got deleted, we even almost got killed in it going 70 miles an hour and the parking brake (1 of many electric problems) decided to engage full brake of highway in the middle of day, almosted wreaked and almost got ran over by big rig trucks cause I could get completely off the high way, way very feared for my family's life, for that much money it should be a better coach, ill update what winn. Is going to do with it . Lesson learned, if you have a good coach, don't trade it in! Till next time, I'm Eric b.
Re: 2010 Winnebago ERA class B motorhomeTerry KelleyOur Sprinter has been from PEI to Vegas and Alaska.Banff, Jasper and Lake Louise and the Alaska Hwy. We took it up the Dalton Highway, Dempster Highway (Yukon) and the Top of the World Highway (Yukon to Alaska). Never felt cramped or had a problem. We dry camped in the Yukon and Alaska ( Copper River ). Trip was so awesome we are going to do it again this summer.
Re: Winnebago ERA class B motorhomeKathy McDonaldI agree, I would prefer two twin beds. I do not want to have climb out of bed.
Re: Winnebago View Class CGentsu GenWe love our 08 view. NOTE on MPG. Yes, it only gets 15mpg + fully loaded at 65, but if you are willing to cruise at 55 it will return a true 17-18mpg. One day running rural montana roads at about 50 we got 18.5.
Re: Winnebago View Class CPRCI HAVE A 2009 VIEW 24H WITH ABOUT 5000 MILES AND ONLY 1 PROBLEM SO FAR A SPIT IN THE TURBO HOSE AT 3,500 MILES. HAD TO LIMP HOME BELOW 40 MPH BECAUSE THE ENGINE GOES INTO THAT MODE WHEN THERE IS AN AIR LEAK. HAS BEEN A GREAT RV SO FAR WITH NO OTHER PROBLEMS, AND WINNEBAGO MAKES A GOOD PRODUCT. STILL TOO MUCH RV FOR ME THOUGH AND WILL BE DOWNSIZING TO THE 2012 WINNEBAGO ERA VAN.IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW MUCH BETTER THE POWER IS BECAUSE OF THE UPGADE THEY MADE LAST YEAR TO 188 HP 325 TORQUE OVER THE 156 HP AND 280 TORQUE.PLUS THE VAN IS ABOUT 2000 LBS LIGHTER, SO SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH POWER ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY WITH THAT PACKAGE.
Re: Winnebago Journey class A motorhomeSteve BowersWe have a 2009 Journey 34Y and the floor plan is in my opinion one of the best ever. This coach on a 208 inch wheelbase with great mobility offers usable space matching or exceeding many of the 37-39 ft coaches we looked at. Unfortunately, the quality control seems to have been lacking and this coach has spent 25% of its life in the shop. Great when we have it, unfortunately that's far less than you would expect for the price you pay.
Re: Winnebago View class C motorhome StephanieKThe Via/Reyo come with a single door as standard. An optional drivers door is available, but the option costs a little over $1000. We debated quite a bit over this but decided to save the money and ordered ours without it.
