Any Winnebago factory workers lurking?
I just had an interesting dialogue with one of my blog followers (era70x.com) concerning their recently ordered 2016 Winnebago ERA 70X. You can read it in the comments at: http://era70x.com/2015/07...

Yes, no offense to anyone, but I wouldn't use Toyota as an example in 2015. I'm not bashing Toyota either, but just speaking about realistic expectations. Toyota had a reputation at one time for that type of top-of-the-line workmanship, but that was partially a backlash against mediocre U.S. products at that time (and needing an automotive hero). I never really ever saw it to the degree people talked about it (envisioned it). And further at that time, if you kept the Toyota long enough, the bubble burst a little later on,as on average people were not so pleased at all about the paint and rust out (usually still pleased about most of the mechanical though). I'd be more than happy to wish Winnebago as the Dodge of the RV trade (low price for the every-man, great warranties, hungry dealers, and very decent customer satisfaction). But that is just little Dodge-fanboy old me, in the minority once again.
So anyway, back to RVs, I don't know enough about the specific issues and certainly the paint problem on a brand new example sounds significant. I am very interested to read on, as this thread becomes fuller. We'll see where the posts and conversations go, but once in a while stuff does happen on vehicles and orders. A delayed special order delivery date is not all that unusual for autos. I'm not meaning to take away anything from the very valid customer complaint that is described, but give it a little time to be discussed to see what the full picture. I'm guessing the article is alluding to past issues as well? I am interested to read more, since I would have a future eye on the Travato.
