All About Winnebago RVs

Written by Stephanie Sawyer | October 16, 2019

Winnebago Industries has been in business for over 50 years. They have sold over 400,000 RVs and are on track to reach 500,000. 

Winnebago was founded in 1958 in Forest City, Iowa, as primarily a travel trailer manufacturer. In 1968, they added motorhomes with luxury features, such as wall-to-wall carpet, his and her wardrobes, private entrance and rear twin bedrooms. By the end of the 1960s, Winnebago’s family of products included five motorhome types, 11 truck campers and seven types of travel trailers.

In 1977, Winnebago rolled out its 100,000th motorhome. And in the 80s, Winnebago developed licensing agreements with apparel and camping products, making the RV brand a household name.

Currently, the fastest selling Winnebago Class B  motorhome is the Travato, which was introduced in 2013. All their RVs have received major upgrades since Winnebago’s early days and as it's the company's goal to remain modern and in-style.

In the 2000s, Winnebago has continued to launch new luxury motorhomes with the latest brand being the Horizon, a half-million-dollar diesel pusher with state-of-the-art features and an elegant and modern interior. In addition, they recently purchased RV manufacturers Grand Design RV and Indiana-based luxury motorhome brand Newmar as they continue to grow and provide new and innovative offerings to RVers.
