Winnebago Rally Canceled Until 2028: Concerns Over Company Direction

[Scubadude62-WO]

Well, that sucks. Winnebago will NOT be having a rally this summer. Or next summer.

They DO promise a rally in 2028. I'm not sure it can be revived after flatlining so long.

More details, such as they are: Camp Winnebago | Winnebago

Looks like they have adopted the Anheuser Busch model of marketing, slap down and insult your base!

Given current world events, that might have been a good decision

What I see seems to be the same with Winnebago but I have no facts to back what I suspect!
I lived very near where Wal-mart started as the big box store. It was built and operated by the Walton family and became quite a success.
But as the original group got old, tired or died off, the new folks came up in the ranks and had "better ideas" to the point that Wal-mart is no longer the company it was built to be.
When I look at Winnebago now as compared to my first Winnebago, the company and operations are doing some very obvious changes!
They are no longer doing some of the things which made me a firm supporter of their products. I deal with a lot of companies and use the tech info they make available.
So I definitely notice how much Winnebago has cut back on their online support info!
I see a future that holds far less of the qualities we have found in the past!

DIY repair help is being phased out! The "Winnebago family" is dead!

Its just a name with a connotation to some people. Quality....like many other products. Buying Tiffin and using its name? And the leaders of Tiffin leave..... Same old game.
