I am kind of disappointed in Winnebago and their dealers that I have dealt with so far.
I am not interested in hearing excuses from people on here. I have gon through some threads on here yesterday reading how people are defending Winnebago on faulty products and workmanship on a New Travel Trailer.
Some saying it is the fault of the part manufacturer that Winnebago uses to make their product. What a bunch of BS!
Winnebago’s responsibility to put in and test the products they use. Poor inspection of the product before it is shipped to the dealership is what I see with mine. On mine for example missing screw. Awning not rolling up correctly, pucker on one edge of slide rubber window gasket etc. Not the dealers responsibility to fix when shipped that way IMOpinion.
Just venting after yesterday’s read on here.

Jovie,
There’s no need to defend WBGO for most build quality issues. You are right to vent. And, You are right that many problems should be caught and fixed before the unit ships, or caught at the dealer level. But it doesn’t happen, and news flash, it’s never happened. That’s the nature of RV manufacturing. I’ve been rving for 50 years, and things haven’t changed much with respect to build quality in the industry. But keep in mind that the subject of quality is relative. You have to judge WBGO relative to other RV manufacturers. I’ve owned several RVs, both motorized and towable. This time, I bought WBGO because relative to other brands, their build quality is better than all but a couple of brands, IMHO. So, you get what you pay for. Paid more for WBGO, but got much higher quality than most any other brand. If I wanted higher quality, I would have bought an airstream for four times the price. Your disappointment is common to most people who have not owned an RV before. When I bought my first RV, I was angrier than you. But I had bought a motorhome brand which was built much worse than if I had bought a Winnebago. Get comfortable, all this comes with the territory. Cheers.
