2016 Adventurer Missing Winnebago Logo
So, I only realized after buying my 2016 Adventurer 37F from LazyDays that the Winnebago Logo is missing from the front engine access door. See the attached photo!
I contacted Winnebago through their web site and pointed this out. Their response was basically "oh well, order it through your dealer". Strangely, they didn't care to replace it or even investigate how a unit could leave their factory without the logo!

There should be a "Winnebago" logo right on the front center just under the windshield! It is missing from my coach. No sign it was ever there when it left the factory some 3 years ago.

Funny, they have a '16 on their lot now. Almost the exact same picture.

Perhaps the original hood was damaged and the shop forgot to put the logo back on. Are there any factory labels on the back of the hood? I’d ask the dealer about it...

I will check the back side of the hood for labels. I take it from your comment that there should be something on the back side?

Different unit than mine. Proof that mine should have the Winnebago Logo too!

I got message response from WinnebagoParts.com | Parts for Winnebago built RVs and motorhomes.WinnebagoParts.com and the correct part number for the Chrome Winnebago Logo on the front engine access door is
181320-01-01 $190.00 + S&H
Nothing Cheap about a Winne!

If you purchased it used, the coach could have been "de-badged" by the previous owner. Doesnt look like it has the "Adventurer" logo behind the rear ps slide either. There are many people who prefer to have absoutely no advertising on their coaches. I am not one!

My '03 Ultimate Advantage was a dealer demo for about 9 months before I bought it. I realized later that it was missing the normal decal on the driver side. Winnebago said they would put it on, but I didn't bother ...didn't see a need for it.

I agree, it was most likely a resprayed hood. Probably from the coach painter.
I debadge every vehicle I purchase. All three of my current Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been debadged except for the star.
I’ve immediately stripped all my motorhomes of every sticker and decal inside and out when I bring it home from the dealer. I like it without the Winnebago chrome bling on the hood.
👎🏻bling!

Well, I would opt for a Prevost badge.
That could cause some confusion, and you would meet lots of people!

Another vote here for badges and logos being overrated.
After struggling with fading decals for years, we finally stripped them and had them painted back on. Except for the two big "W" and four big "Journey SE" decals. Those would have added an outrageous amount to the repaint.
We love our Journey, but although I pick up the mail every day, we have never received a retainer check from Winnebago for being a 62.5MPH billboard.
As DryCreek alludes, being logo free is a real conversation starter!

No, what DryCreek was alluding to was that if Winnebago doesn't want you to continue as a free rolling advertisement for their product, choose a different product to advertise. Probably only 1/3 of all the folks in the RV parks, and less than 2% on the road would instantly know that Prevost doesn't make a standard Class A. It would be funny to see the looks on the faces of those who do know about Prevost....
