Hi everyone. We just bought our first class a and happy to be a part of this community. I’m sure we’ll have lots of questions and it’s great to find this community here.

Welcome, good luck & safe travels.

Always glad to see new folks who are interested in keeping the Rv working, so assuming there may be future questions, I like to point out some of the really good info Winnebago gives us as a way to plan for any of the future questions. Just knowing where things are on the Rv can be a big help on the head scratching!

Parts catalog, not so much for ordering parts but as a way to look at how you might get things apart if needed:

Plumbing and knowing where the lines and tanks are located can help when you need to winterize:

And if you get a few wiring bugs to chase:

Just a few pictures to look over in between those trips you plan?

Thank you

This is pretty useful information. Thank you very much for sharing preemptively!

It's a good idea to download everything you might need so you have access even without the internet. Also, some of this was unavailable while Winnebago recently updated their website. Better yet, keep your downloads on whatever device you'll have with you when you travel.

Here's the link to Winnebago's Owner Resources page with more. The Service Tips are a good resource and you can also download an Operator's Manual:
