Winnebago

Don't buy Winnebago! Be warned! – We bought a new Winnebago Iluka from Sydney RV in June, 2021. Once we were able to take it out we started to discover problems with the motorhome. The list of problems with it goes to three pages. We notified Sydney RV in February, 2022 of the problems. Sixteen months later, the motorhome sits in our driveway, unusable. It has leaks, it has never been sealed properly. There is mould throughout the motorhome. It has been back to Sydney RV on four separate occasions in an attempt to fix it. The last time it was in the service department, it was there for 2 and a half months. It has been sitting on my driveway and has done about 7000km. It is literally falling apart at the seams. There is daylight showing through the joins and around the windows. Extremely disappointed with this purchase. Don't buy Winnebago. Don't buy anything built by Apollo. Don't buy anything from Sydney RV. They won't fix it. They won't give us a new one. They won't refund our money. It's a shame I can't give a no star rating.

absolutely terrible assembly and faulty installations – We bought a Winnebago Leisure Seeker!! made by WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES IN 2004 BASED ON A iveco DAILY 50c15. As it had only 85.000 Km and was very well looked after we drove it from Mel - Hervey Bay. Pleasure to drive a Daily - very nice and comfortable inside --until the hatch above the bed blew off. We managed to patch it up with tape and no rain until we got home >>and had a look: three FIAMMA hatch installed. Instructions with the paperwork. All three hatches open FORWARD into the wind . Claerly said in the instructions not to do it - and who with his mind open would install a flimsy hatch toward the front in a truck that can do 100Km/hour. WINNEBAGO does. I have seen other models now -- the same problem. We bought a new hatch and today turn the last one around. All installed with SILICONE ---SILLYCONE !!! NO NO - clearly said in the instructions - screws used are monstrous and as they did not fit properly to the ceiling 2cm of a white silicone on the inside too.. Winnebago was the brand to have when I was in the USA -- Australian workmanship - as I have seen amny times - is shocking. Chech your hatches if you have one !!
