[want-a-be]

Has any one heard when the new Winnebago's Forza will be at the dealers.
Thanks for any and all comments!

I think the Solei, Forza and Palazzo will all drive about the same.

On the Forza/Solei we both didn't like the dinky table to pull out at all don't know how several can sit around it, two was awkward.

The sides of the slides weren't painted.

Drivers seat not too comfortable.

We are still focused on the Palazzo 33.2, they sold over a thousand I'm told.

We drove and looked over the Palazzo 33.2. Were ready to make the deal but said I need to at least see the Solei before I buy. Well La Masa had two Soleis on the lot, we drove and spent several hours with the coach . To make a long story short we drove our Solei home last week. It handles like a dream( my wife drove part way home in an 18 mph cross wind with no problems). There were very few issues in our walk-through and the dealer took care of them on the spot. I will report as we break it in, so far it has been a dream.

You should be able to add electric element to water heater.

Lightning Rod Water heater Kit

If you're not comfortable with that, get the dealer to swap it out for a propane/electric model

I just brought home the first Forza in Texas.. Love it! Got a good deal from the dealer with a super price on my trade in so couldn't pass it up.

Only issue I have right now is that it comes with a 6 gallon LP only hot water heater.

We are mostly full timers in semi-remote places (do have AC, water, & sewer) and cannot go back to town to refill the LP.

Otherwise, beautiful diesel coach.

There was and myself and DW really iked it!

Its just that we liked different things only availble in one or the other. W/D and U-shaped dinette. cant get those together.

Other than that, seemed like avery nice coach, well thought out and felt MUCH higher end that the THOR PALAZZO and Coachman SportsCoach we looked at. Also checked out the new small D/P from Forest River, nice, but still liked the FORZA's much better.

These were what we were looking for.....SUB $200k Diesel Pushers. didnt buy, but may do so this coming Spring. Right now, the FORZ and SOLEI are in our cross-hairs.

I see that Camping World in Oakwood, Georgia has a couple of Forza's for sale..........one 34 and one 38.

This was a misstatement by me! After further investigation the Winnebago Forza and the Itasca Solei are not entry level coaches, there full featured luxury DP's at an extremely attractive price!

Appears they are designed to compete with the Tiffin Allegro RED.

Thanks for any and all comments!

Do you know if it's going to be Winnebagos entry level D.P.? Or is it going to be more expensive than the Journey? Thanks, and QC on a Winnebago product wouldn't be a concern to me! I've owned 3 of them with virtually no trouble and that speaks for itself!

.

On Winnebago's web site it's cheaper then the Journey around 202,000.

Thank You, for the info I wasn't aware of that! It's Winnebagos new entry level coach in the DP market! Several years ago they came out with a Journey Express that was there entry level DP.

Quality control issues with no facts to back it up=zero. Remember, every circus has a clown!

Winnebago has Major Quality control issues....Not interested....

That's the first I have heard of that. Where did you hear that ? (Just curious............ not implying anything)

I agree with you! A blanket statement was made with no facts presented? I would be fearful to make a statement like that in fear of being sued! I looked up Winnebago Industries for quality control issues and couldn't find anything. Winnebago did have a April 30th, 2013 PR (Press Release) stating there whole 2014 product line was going to be reveled to there Dealer/Partners only, at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV. And there was another PR from Scott Degnan, Vice President of Sales saying that Winnebago was #1 in retail sales in the U.S. for 2012! How can you have very poor quality control as GeneCop stated and lead in sales in RV's in the United States? Finally, Winnebago Industries accepted the Quality Circle Award from the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association in 2012!

What is the typical discount on Winn

It depends on the dealer.......typically 25-30% (in my experience)
