Planning on buying an RV?
If so, you may want to read an article by AOL on the biggest problems of all (or most) popular RV brands.
Winnebago, which I am an owner of a 2015 Minnie Winnie Class C, doesn't come unscathed in the article. But I must point out that any defects my RV had were minor and covered under warranty. It has been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned.
The first problem I had was a roof vent cover that "glued" itself shut. It was taken care of under warranty. The next one was a problem with the dash air conditioner (it's a Ford E350 Chassis). It turned out that rodents chewed some of the air conditioner's lines. Next, was another roof vent cover. It became brittle from age and weathering and broke apart. The last was a small tear in the awning fabric from rubbing against a leaning telephone pole I didn't see that got bigger. And that's it.
AOL begins their article with:

In fact, they are the majority of RV brands out there,” Wendler says. “Throw a dart at the wall.” With advice from Wendler and other RVers who love to talk rigs, here’s what we’ve learned from the experts about brands that you should probably steer clear of if you're looking to buy or rent an RV.
