Winnebago Industries Inc. received the coveted Quality Circle Award a record 14th straight year, the company noted in a November 6th news release.
The Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA), announced the honor earlier this week. The Forest City, Iowa-based motorhome builder is the only RV company to receive the award every year since its inception in 1996. Winnebago’s Itasca brand received honorable mention. These awards are scheduled to be presented at a ceremony on Nov. 30, the day before the start of the 47th Annual National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky.

“It is a tremendous honor for us to receive the Quality Circle Award again this year,” said Bob Olson, Winnebago chairman, CEO and president. “To have earned this award since 1995, an accomplishment no other motorhome or travel trailer manufacturer in the industry has been able to attain, is a real tribute to the hard work and diligence of our employees who are dedicated to building high quality products, while providing first-class programs and services to our dealer partners.”
The Winnebago and Itasca brands were both recognized for scoring 80% or above in overall dealer satisfaction as measured in the Dealer Satisfaction Index (DSI) survey conducted by RVDA. The Itasca brand, however, received fewer than the necessary 15 dealer responses needed to receive the full award status, instead, receiving honorable mention.
The DSI survey, which determines the Quality Circle Award winners, rates manufacturers’ performance in eight core areas: sales support, sales territory, vehicle design, vehicle reliability/quality, competitive price/value, parts support, dealership warranty support and overall dealer communications.
“Our dealer partners are our first-line customers, and as such, it is imperative we understand all their needs,” said Olson. “We believe the DSI survey to be an extremely vital tool for the measurement of the quality of our products, our sales and service programs and our manufacturing processes, providing us with an important point of reference as to how our dealer partners perceive the quality of Winnebago Industries’ products and services. We are truly honored by the continued confidence shown by our Winnebago and Itasca dealer partners in Winnebago Industries and wish to thank them for this prestigious award.
“We would also like to thank our employees for their diligence in ensuring that every Winnebago Industries motorhome, program and service provided is of the highest quality. We are off to a great start with innovative new 2010 Winnebago Industries products and will continue to strive to have the most innovative and highest quality products, services and support for both our dealer partners and retail customers.”

| Re: Winnebago Via class A motorhome | Stef | Is it true that the Via & Reyo only have ONE door? No driver or passenger door?? Has anyone seen this in person? All I've seen are the photos & videos on Winnebago's web site. Seems to me like it would be a safety issue.Otherwise I love the configurations. Prefer maple cabinetry but that's just me. :>) |
| Re:Winnebago Outlook | Pat Specht | I am suspecting that we may have the battery drain problem in 2007 Outlook Winni. When it is unplugged for a day or so the engine battery gets very weak even after making sure that everything is turned off. House batteries seem to maintain the charge. We suspect a switch that is not functioning properly? |
| Re: Winnebago View Class C | aussie | I really cant get over this `obsession' that Americans have that a `dodge' isnt supported anymore
dodge hasnt been available anywhere apart from America for the last 3 decades
It's a Merc sprinter
parts available worldwide (far more so than any Chrysler bits)
and turbo diesels rule the roads
v8 (v10's in america???- say whhhaaa)
I see all the camper owners in america complaining about 8-10 mpg
well you should be
I get about 28 mpg in a bigger 4 tonner ( thats about 8800 pounds according to wiki)
makes me wonder what I am doing right or you guys are doing really wrong...

| Re: Winnebago Via class A motorhome | harold | I like the idea but the price is height. the bed over the drivers seat is an old idea used in a german mh years ago. |
| Re: 2010 Winnebago ERA class B motorhome | UP Retirees | We bought our ERA this summer at a substantial discount. We have driven it to California and back and love the manuverability and diesel mileage. My wife has mobility problems which makes this small unit ideal. We travel with Jake our 90 pound goldendoodle. |
| Re: Winnebago Destination class A motorhome | Pia Piaquinto | It sounds like an electric golf cart. Need to gun the gas to see if it is running. In 8,000 miles we were never passed by a diesel pusher on any degree of hill.AND we tow a small Honda.
The interior cabinets are well designed aesthetically and well constructed. The exterior and interior are all 1st class. We exchanged the outside mirrors for chrome and now we look like a 300K rig.Inside we upgraded the carpet and put in corian on the counters. The bathroom sink is el cheapo so we exchanged plastic for stainless. This is a dazzling unit for just over 100K.Tough competition in todays tight economy. Winnebago has a winner. |
| Re: 2010 Winnebago ERA class B motorhome | Gordon | Like the ERA we've had ours for 2 years. The 2010 looks good, same 2 floorplans I think. |
| Re: Winnebago Via class A motorhome | SkipJ | Where will owners of Sprint based RV's get service now that Dodge will no longer be selling them, after Jan 1st? Can Mercedes dealers handle motor homes? |
| Re: Winnebago View Class C | chris | we just bought a 2009 view 24H. After one weekend trip, we also find it much easier to drive than our last RV - a 21 ft Four winds. My husband and I look forward to traveling and think the View will be perfect for longer trips across county. We would enjoy meeting and traveling with new friends from FL if we ever get down there from our current home in northern IL. |
| Re: Winnebago ERA class B motorhome | mrlear | Love that coach, gotta buy one |
| Re: Winnebago Aspect class C motorhome | Brian | We have a 2005 Forest River on a Ford E450 chassis that we like. Looking to move on and this looks perfect. Like the interior and the 28B layout. Not sure about the 30C with the stove in the slideout right next to the sofa. |
| Re: Winnebago ERA Class B | Stillsmilin | Owned one for about 4 months now, so happy with fuel economy, functionality, and ease of driving. It is definitely a "wow" vehicle! |
| Re: Winnebago ERA class B motorhome | Ivan | I like the twin beds. Being older and having arthritis it is difficult getting out of a bed set up like the queen bed/sofa. |
| Re: Winnebago Via class A motorhome | Rory Blenkin | I really think this is nice. 15mpg sounds good to me. I'm stuck with a 7mpg gas guzzler I've been trying to sell for 2 years. When I get the money I think I'll go for this. The long slideout model is the one I would prefer but I'm not sure about the fact that the one on the inside has to climb over the one on the outside during the night. Maybe the other model is better. |
| Re: Winnebago Via class A motorhome | Curtis | I've had 2 winnebagos and 1 itasca and I liked them. I was thinking of going for a class B maybe the Winnebago ERA because I was thinking class A's are too big. But this is smaller and looks really good. Going to look at it. Thanks for the review. |
| 2001 Winnebago Adventurer | Terry | We are newbies to the RV World and have been looking for awhile and finally found one that we both like and would love to hear pros and cons. The Winnebago Adventurer is a 2001 amd has 60,000 miles and is gas. |
| Re: Winnebago ERA class B motorhome | IGC_ | Never been a big fan of the B class - I love Winnebago - but this seems like another over priced B class to me...Go big or go home... |
| 2007 Winnebago Aspect, class C | M. Farri | Bought a new 2007, 30 ft Aspect in 2008. So far we have put approx 3,000 miles on it with no problems. The Ford V 10 has excellent power and the brakes are fantastic. We love it! My only complaint is that Ford can do a little better job with the chassis in terms of handling. Inflating the rear air bags to over 60lbs really helped. I also found out that my TV's won't work on antenna without a digital converter box. This is a problem if your TV is built in. I was afraid of messing up the wood work to pull the TV out so I went to the dealer. You will have to remove the TV. He knew what pieces of wood to remove without damaging the cabinets. We did it in 45 minutes. Other than that, a great coach. |
| Re: Winnebago ERA class B motorhome | John | I think this has always been my perfect vehicle. I'd love to travel around the country in one of these. Either this or a Roadtreck. |
| Re: Winnebago ERA Class B | Shobud Sierra | We just got ours new, at a massive discount. Can maneuver everywhere I used to go in my old pickup! |
