Brand loyalty
I love winnebago motorhomes and always have. In fact, growing up, every motorhome to me was called a "winnebago"...even if it was made from another company. Kinda like calling any cola a "coke". I am 43 years old and know pretty much all about every winnebago motorhome ever made and have had 3 winnebago motorhomes, and plan to always have a winnebago. My goal is to have a Tour one day, and hope to reach it. Does anyone else have this problem...if it is a problem

I am on my 3rd Winnebago coach and have experienced great quality in all three. My friends who bought other coaches seemed to send a great deal of time back a the dealers each year. Its either good luck or good engineering and manufacturing. I suspect the latter.

I have owned 2 Fleetwood coaches and 3 Winnebago coaches. I have been pleased with all my coaches. My first choice on purchasing another would be Winnebago again.

I am on my first Winnebago and very pleased with the workmanship. Only had one minor problem and it wasn't related to any workmanship by Winnebago. I would buy another one if the need/want should arise.

IMO if you loose any friends if/when you change coach brands they were never really friends to begin with.

We are still on our first Winnebago (Itasca) and it has been a comfortable and reliable home away from home for 11 years. We've been shopping DPs for a while and considered slightly used Newmar, Tiffin and Monaco, even older Country Coaches. But with the new Journey/Meridian 38P, I think we may have found our next home away from home. No axle weight problems, no full wall slide, plenty of basement storage, nice styling, and a floor plan that works for us. After all the research, I still think Winnie offers the best bang for the buck.
Plus we live near Roy Robinson RV Sales, a reputable Winnie dealer with a shop full of dedicated and talented technicians.

I had a 95 adventurer for 5 years. It was a quality made product for its 95. I never had an issue or problem. I had an opportunity to move to a DP a few months ago and it happened to be a Country Coach. I feel great about both brands. I would go back to a Winnebago in a second if the right deal came up.

Not many owners of any brand can say that they never had an issue or problem in 5 years.
Hope you are as lucky with the Country Coach.

Ya. That is my exact thoughts. I switched brands and had no issues retaining friends. When I went over to new Brand's forum. Just added more friends.

We are on our second Winnebago coach. We have had one gas any one DP. We did our research on both and the quality is unequaled between similar coaches from different manufacturers. We have had only minor problems with both coaches. This is normal as the MH industry uses customers and dealers as their QC process.

I have owned six motorhomes in my lifetime of RVing. Three were Itascas, One was Winnebago, one was Gulfstream and one was Fleetwood. In my humble opinion, after driving and owning other brands, it is very relaxing to get back to a Winnebago product that you can depend on. Doesn't mean that there are no problems...just means that they are so much easier to get parts and repairs for.

We love our Winnebago. We had several and enjoyed all of them. Especial like the service that I get when I call Winnebago.

This past August we purchased a 2016 Itasca Meridian 40R as our first motorhome and we love everything about it. We looked at many other manufacturers but fell in love with the Itasca.
