Three new Winnebago gas class A's since 2010. Traded for morespace and upgrade. My first two had virtually nothing that needed to be fixed. Second had a solenoid that was screwy after 6 months but quality control would not have found it as it came and went. Third one had a few more quality issues but the problem was the secondary parts. Generator had to be taken apart. A lose insulation on a connection caused periodic shorts. Had to find it and take the whole thing out and apart. Fixed under warranty to my satisfaction. Local Onan tech was great. Window squeaks and short in a speaker were fixed. Faulty hot water pressure relief valve showed up after 6 months. A drain in shower was cut short and caused a crazy leaks it would move out and then reseat. Replaced with one inch longer. All was well. Showed up during trip to California after s really bad road one day after 8 months. The passenger side Schwintech slide squeaked and required lube every 3 months. It was easy to do but it also seemed to move more when in and traveling than others. It always worked well. I had read so many bad things about them I was waiting for it to stop. A piece of molding pulled away and require a bit of glue and overnight clamp. I don't see any of these issues with Winnebago quality control. It seemed I had a few more issues for revisit to dealer with last one. The window squeaking should not have made it out of the factory. (front driver and passenger). So many systems and such rough roads some things will always shake loose. I just traded for an Itasca 2016 38Q (see other post). I am still partial to Winnebago. Purchase my first Winnebago Centauri in 1982. Second one off the line. Loved it. 4 cylinder Renault. 24 mpg. Very slow but it was my daily driver and great in snow. I am sure there is always room for improvement and as mentioned there are lemons but Winnebago has been fine with me and warranty issued dealt with promptly and without hassle although I have had nothing major. Hope my luck continues.
