My mother calls all RV's a Winnebago including my AI. To her a Winnebago is as generic as Kleenex or Xerox. She doesn't know from motorhome, facial towel or copier. Winnebago should be flattered to be recognized as a market icon.
Very much the case in Australia. A large Motorhome is called a "Winnebago" it is a generic term, more than anything to do with Winnebago and I have heard many Australians use it in that way.
Still many Australian call 5th Wheelers Motorhomes as well, which logically does not make sense.
Anyway Winnebago US , has released a range of garish looking Caravans( Minnie Winnies, painted Pink and Lime Green! With a big W decal) have asked Talvor to slightly redesign their range of Class C Rental Motorhomes, give them Australian names and call them " Winnebagos" Farce is not strong enough of a word to describe the goings on.
Seeing Winnebago is associated with US Motorhomes, if not in the generic sense then a group of Rental Motorhomes with a " Winnebago " Trademark is going to cause a lot of head scratching.
