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.”

LATEST COMMENTS ABOUT WINNEBAGO RVs
Re: Winnebago ERA class B motorhomeTraveralerThe sofa is very nice but for two elder people twin beds would be much easier to get in and out of. For one person the sofa is ideal.
Re: Winnebago View Class CKMKLVI want to know what Aussie is driving!!
Re: Winnebago Via class A motorhomeCurtisI just got the new Via and I love it. The swivel seat, the room, outside storage and ofcourse the gas milage is top notch
Re: Winnebago Destination class A motorhomeBobWinnie Destination getting 10.0 MPG. I think the owner of that coach needs a math lesson on MPG computations. Towing is closer to 6 than 10. Otherwise a good coach but the mileage sucks.
Re: Winnebago Vectra Class ABruce McDonaldI have a new Vectra that has never been titled for $219,000.00. Interested? Bruce.mcdonald@poulsborv.com
Re: Winnebago Destination class A motorhomeRonnie BlackworthThe Destination gas pusher is a great coach. The interior is a basic bargain type decor. I bought mine new and upgraded the flooring, added coran tops, upraded the house battieies and built a small work staion where the extra chair goes. I also added automatic draers underneath, upgraded the awning also replaced the cheap carpet with wood vinyl.Best improvement was a $500 mattress ultra foam from Costco and I am in a $300K plus rig. It ia amazing and my total expense was under $15,000.I did this because the gas pusher is so great and the ride is a dream.I have had 7 coaches and this will be my last. Go Winnebago Go. By the way I am not a Mr. Fixit. All my work was done by a top notch RV remodeler in San Diego.
Re: Winnebago Via class A motorhomeStefIs 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 OutlookPat SpechtI 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 CaussieI 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 motorhomeharoldI 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 motorhomeUP RetireesWe 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 motorhomePia PiaquintoIt 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 motorhomeGordonLike the ERA we've had ours for 2 years. The 2010 looks good, same 2 floorplans I think.
Re: Winnebago Via class A motorhomeSkipJWhere 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 Cchris 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 motorhomemrlearLove that coach, gotta buy one
Re: Winnebago Aspect class C motorhomeBrianWe 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 BStillsmilinOwned 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 motorhomeIvanI 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 motorhomeRory BlenkinI 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.
