Itasca Cambria vs. Winnebago in quality
Is there a dropoff in quality between the two...I think they are both made by Winnebago.Looking at a 2006 Cambria 26a. Thanks!

Both are Winnebago products, quality is a subjective word in the RVing world as it pertains to what is rolling off the assembly floor as fast as they can push them out the door. When we were researching motorhomes and started viewing them in person we found out brand name didn't matter all that much when shopping older units. We saw many Winnebago products along with virtually every other brand out there on our 2 year journey to acquire our current RV, condition and maintenance of rig trumped who manufactured it every time. From the online ads most of them claim to be in great condition, suffice to say most times that was not the case.
After driving a dozen units we were able to narrow down which powertrain and chassis we wanted, from there we were able to find a gem and traveled 1K miles as the pandemic roared through our great country last summer. It turned out that it was from a manufacturer that we did not do a lot of research on and a floorplan that we did not really consider initially, chassis and powertrain had under 20K miles and interior/exterior kept in immaculate condition were the determining factors for us. We never pitted one brand over another from the start, keeping our minds free to view as many rigs as possible, could not have worked out better from our perspective.
