Winnebago 5th wheel
Looking at a Winnebago 5th wheel. I did not know they made towables until I saw one at the Fall RV show in Dallas. I was very impressed. I understand they bought out Sunnybrook. Does anyone have...

I have a 2014 Winnebago Lite Five 26FWRKS and love it after 1 1/2 years and a couple dozen trips. I do not understand the comments here mostly from those that do not own a Winnebago 5th. We looked at numerous 5'ers and in the weight and price range we wanted the Winnebago was far superior.
Tailgate opens with room to spare. Not sure what truck anyone had trouble with. No need for a V gate.
The cabinets, drawer slides were much more solidly built that the Jayco or Heartland XLT's. Ours has 16" rims rather than Heartlands 15".
When replacing stereo speakers in the ceiling I noticed 1/2" thick plywood rather than the thin fiber board on the Jayco and Heartlands.
The hatch doors are solidly built 3/4" rather than others 1/2".
Basement storage is free from all plumbing lines unlike many competitors where pipes block full length access.
Front cap painted which I greatly prefer.
Gelcoat method is closer to higher end 5'ers. Looks much nicer.
Corian kitchen counters are nice!!
Overall the fit and finish and construction techniques were far above every single other brand in the weight and price range we looked....and we looked at a lot!! That said, I do not like the floorplans of their latest Voyager line which replaces the Lite Five series.
