Winnebago Journey 36M

I have one stupid question and one regular question. 1) What does the 36M stand for? It is a Winnebago Journey 36M.. 2) Does anyone have any comments good or bad, especially items to watch out for on a Winnebago Journey 36M. Thank you

    A 36M is 36.8 ft long - no idea what the M it for

    We have driven ours 34,000 miles and stayed in 160 campground so that means the slide has gone in and out well over 300 times in the 4 1/2 years we have owned it and the slides (both) are fine.

    Funny about the closet my pants fit fine on a hanger and DW has dresses hanging - never been a issue


    Your 36M is listed as 36'8". But in every year since, the 36M is listed as 37'3"

    The biggest issue with the 36M is the Schwintek slide system, particular on the big passenger-side slide. A good idea, but poor implementation; the slide is too easy to get out of alignment, causing real problems.

    A much smaller problem is the size (height) of the wardrobe. It is not tall enough to to hang pants or dresses.

    We have a 2015 Meridian 36M We like the coach, but we've had back at Forest City once, to fix the slide. The majority of people that were there, while we were, had slide issues.

    X2 on this. You really should avoid Winnies with the Schwintek slide system. Don't know the exact production run on the problem units. I think it included 2014 and early 2015 units. Somebody will chime in here with the exact information.

  • 36 is the length. It's just over 36 feet. M is just a model number.
    What year? Might be able to help with that.
