Winnebago Factory Tour

[@danwolter]

Did this plant tour a few months ago. It was not at all what I was expecting for a factory and I expected robots and automation. It's really more crafting than traditional manufacturing. The amount of precision and care into each rig is amazing!

[@kennyr3751]

I drive an 84 Winne....still going strong!👍👍

[@propbender2]

Thanks for this great tour and all the details. I am now looking ONLY for a (used) Winnebago.

[@NIRVC]

Glad it was helpful!

[@melbourneleogibbsgibson...1653]

Thanks for having here

[@subohioguy]

My parents bought a 1967 22ft Winnebago Motor home and we enjoyed it very much, We used to go to the factory every August for the National Winnebago rally. Great memories

[@NIRVC]

Hi Craig! I’ve heard those are amazing rallies! I want to go someday! RVing is all about the memories you make! Thanks for sharing yours!

[@thomasdarby6084]

I am more and more impressed with Winnebago's build and design quality. I'm going to buy a new RV in Spring 2021, and have looked at several makes, but they all fall short in many areas of what Winnebago does. Thanks for this.

[@lrobie123]

Excellent video. Nice to see how well engineered the Winnebago manufacturing processes integrate ergonomics and well designed process flow to build the product from beginning to end. All the new technology in place to create many pieces from different metals. Must be a wonderful place to be an engineer to continue to keep these facilities updated with the technologies to build high quality RV's

[@NIRVC]

I agree! I think it is a great place to work because so many of the employees have been there for 30+ years!! Speaks volumes!

[@terrylarkin690]

Angie this was the best factory your I have ever watched and I have been through a lot. I was a Mac Tools Distributor for over 20yrs and toured all there made in America facilities along many others. Your presentation was a 10 out 10. We've been shopping for a Navion/View and now I'm totally sold on the Winnebago thank you.

[@NIRVC]

Thank you so much Terry! Please call me at 469-277-1120 and we would be happy to help you in your search! Angie

[@johnluck1923]

Thanks Angie for showing us how RVs are put together. Winnebago looks top notch.

[@NIRVC]

They are a great company! Thank you for watching our video!

[@JollyDeacs11]

Thank you Angie, you're a doll. We just purchased a Adventurer 37F, Gas, 2015 so super excited to RV for the first time. Winnebago cost us out of our original budget but well worth it for the long haul. Cheers and God Bless!

[@NIRVC]

Thank you for the Love, Stephen! You definitely have a great taste and it reflects in your choice! Have a great time RVing!

[@macsrock2010]

Very cool 😎 😮 … you did a great job, Angie.

[@JoseNunez-pu1mh]

Hi ANGIE . This tour of WINNEBAGO factory is awesome. Like always you look amazingly beautifull. You melt my heart . Youre doing great. I love the tour . This is an eye opener. Thank your the very info tour.

[@NIRVC]

You are so welcome Jose! So glad you enjoyed our video!

[@marilynhansen2193]

I was given a tour of this Winnebago Plant at Forrest City several years ago by my nephew Reggie Andersen who worked there many years. It was the most interesting tour I have ever taken. If you ever get a chance to tour it please do.

[@NIRVC]

Yes, I agree with you Marilyn! I highly recommend the tour when they start having them again!

[@pwengert1]

Great tour. We came from Iowa but had never been to the Winnebago factory. Quite educational! Thank you & God bless.

[@NIRVC]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching our video!

[@davidsmith5433]

Great tour of the Winnebago factory! This was the best video tour of a RV Manufacture that I have seen yet.

[@NIRVC]

Awe! Thank you so much David! That means the world to me! 🚎💙

[@joechudy1257]

Once again Angie, you did your homework and it shows! Great in depth tour with insightful questions and pertinent comments. Looking forward to our Winnebago coming off that line someday soon. Thanks!!!

[@stevenperry5709]

Most excellent tour!!! So rare to get this much detail. So glad NIRVC is willing to do the very in depth walk throughs of products and now this detailed tour. Thank you.

[@Sam-M7]

Angie, you are truly an elegant, intelligent, and classy lady. Thank you for doing what you do. I always look forward to your videos.

[@NIRVC]

Awe! Thank you Sam! You made my day! I’m so glad you enjoy our videos!

[@rickvance9460]

This is the most impressive factory tour we have seen.This definitely has got our attention when we purchase a coach in a few years. Great quality as far as we are concerned.

[@NIRVC]

It is great quality Rick! Let us know how we can help you when you are ready! 469-277-1330

[@cris_miko]

Thank you for an informative tour. I have toured many factories in my engineering career and i really liked hearing the reasoning behind their factory processes. Winnie was at the top of my list and now there is no other choice. I'm looking for a 25b layout and confident a used model will meet my needs within my budget.

[@NIRVC]

Please let me know how we can help you! [e-mail]

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Really interesting tour loaded with great info showing how a quality product is produced. Watched all 57 minutes,........and was wanting for more when it stopped!

[@twoeagledrones]

Thanks for the tour! Amazing!

[@ericverpeten8503]

I'm impressed , thanks fot the tour Angie, really enjoyed it.

[@android0105]

Thank you so much for such an in depth tour. We are going to be at the Winnebago Factory service center in October but I doubt they are going to be doing tours yet.. thanks again!

[@NIRVC]

I doubt that as well, but at least now you have a glimpse of what goes on inside those big buildings!

[@nertz4579]

Angie all of the Prevost conversion manufactures plus Newell needs for you to do the videos for them. You do the most indepth tour of Rv's, coaches out there.

[@NIRVC]

Oh, now wouldn’t that be fun! It would be interesting to compare them to what we sell! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our videos. 😊

[@gd198070]

Enjoyed the tour very impressed with the company. As a Newmar owner its nice to know the parent company has such a quality manufacturing base.

[@NIRVC]

Exactly Gene! Winnebago has an incredible history! Very similar to Newmar and their cultures blend well together! All positive for Winnebago and Newmar owners.

[@ronmcdaniel1583]

Great job Angie!! Winnebago is very impressive. THANKS SAFE TRAVELS

[@NIRVC]

Thanks Ron!

[@robertmontanez9186]

This was a very impressive tour of Winnebago's facility. Great job Angie!

[@NIRVC]

Thank you Robert! I’m so glad you enjoyed the Factory Tour. It was one of my favorite tours and videos!

[@heathercummins1644]

Thanks so much for the Tour! With the announcement of Winnebago/Newmar buyout, even with your company's assurance, I was concerned about the changes. This video put those concerns to rest. As always, great video, Angie!👍👍

[@David-im1fp]

Is the water tank BPA free? any plastic chemicals can leak to fresh water? Great factory tour.

[@ek9772]

You have very pleasant interviewing skills, and at the same time you are able to help the viewer follow the logic of the manufacturing or assembly process by asking insightful questions and engaging the interviewees.

[@NIRVC]

Thank you! ☺️

[@ronaldw.2923]

Wow!!! What a extensive and thorough video. Thank you for doing this

[@NIRVC]

My pleasure! I’m so glad you enjoyed the Factory Tour!

[@SaraD5683]

Great video Angie.. this is information our customers (& employees) need to see!

[@NIRVC]

Thank you!

[@badgerpa9]

Thanks for the great video. It has been years since I took a manufacture tour like this.

[@NIRVC]

Your welcome! It was so interesting!

[@thaisguedes4067]

This is awesome. Loved the video. Thank you

[@dixieerickson4452]

Wow you did wonderful tour. So much to learn about, very very interesting.

[@carlstanoyevic3070]

Thanks for sharing this It was well worth the time you invested. I learned so much.

[@VernonWallace]

This was so very interesting. Thank you and Winnebago for the tour.

[@wesbrown3979]

Great tour Angie. This really gives consumers more insight into the products they purchase. it also builds confidence in the story you as a retailer share with your customers. Keep up the informative videos.

[@NIRVC]

Thank you Wes! So glad you enjoyed our video!

[@Rj-yr1br]

hey angie thats for that tour u did very well on it well done thumbs up...........

[@NIRVC]

Thanks RJ!

[@nobillclinton]

Very cool. Worth the time. Thank you. Great company.

[@NIRVC]

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching our videos!

[@DutchStar443]

This was a very interesting video. It would be worthwhile to document similar factory tours with other manufacturers. I have toured the Newmar factory, but you don’t get to see all of the processes as presented here.

[@NIRVC]

We would love to do that too! I love the factory tours! They are so interesting!

[@colinwp8285]

Excellent tour video, great content, etc as usual. One minor point. Good to see the safety glasses, ear plugs, hi viz jacket, but, in factories, no heels please.

[@NIRVC]

Thanks Colin!

[@thyhangman]

Great in depth and impressive tour thanks Angie!

[@NIRVC]

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@williamlambert2865]

Once again Angie great video. Would be nice if you did complete Factory tours of all coaches sold at Nation Indoor RV Centers.

[@NIRVC]

I’m trying to William! Thank you so much for watching our videos!

[@NJ-Cathie]

My Barbie had an original Winnebago RV complete with a green W. The tour was fascinating. It was great to see so many work on the line performing a wide variety of tasks. Winnebago has taken a huge leap forward with the BOLDT & it’s amazing Volta Lithium package. ANGIE: Do you know if on the BOLDT Winnebago could remove the Wardrobe and make it a shower so the back of the van is a dry bath?

[@NIRVC]

They have done an amazing job with their Class Bs. I’m not sure if they could remove the wardrobe as you suggested. I’ll send them a note and get back to you! Thanks for watching our videos!

[@NJ-Cathie]

Thanks! My husband wants a class A bathroom in a class B.

[@ngml320]

As a Winnebago owner thank you Angie.

[@NIRVC]

My pleasure Norbert! It was so interesting and I learned so much during my visit! 💙W🚎

[@MrStrangegoo]

I remember that motor home. Never had one but wanted one, I thought it was so cool at the time..

[@mikepeters5785]

I have a 1974 Winnebago Chieftain 25' trailer my family and I still use to this day. Up until last year it still had the original carpet in it. The interior and exterior is still 99% original. Due to the longevity and the quality of this trailer, going through my grandfather, then my father, and now on to me, plus this video showing how they construct their modern RVs, next year when I upgrade to a new trailer, it'll most likely be another Winnebago. I do wonder after watching this, I wonder if they would be able to still produce some of the factory pieces that are worn out on my rig such as the tail lights and cupboard latches of days gone by. I may just want to stay in my unit for another year or two. LOL, or if they would want to put this in their show room as mine is still in excellent shape for it's age.

[@wsmith5643]

This is an excellent video! Very interesting, Thank you.

[@NIRVC]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching our videos!

[@larrybrown1124]

Very well done tour! I appreciate the in-depth style of tour you did here compared to many of the other factory tour vids out there! Keep it up!!

[@NIRVC]

Thank you Larry!

[@richardburguillos3118]

That was an amazing tour. The industry is getting a bad rep with people saying they are all rushing to manufacture as many as they can and sacrificing quality. Looks like they are doing a great high quality build. That was fun to watch. Wish there was more time spent on the Class B line. Possibly a revisit to spend more time there?

[@jbncnow]

That Angie is a beautiful woman! I always look forward to these videos, my old winnebago was once in this building

[@NIRVC]

Thank you Jay! 💙🚎

[@Jaceftho146]

I absolutely loved that tour, awesome stuff 👍

[@NIRVC]

So glad you enjoyed our video! Thanks for watching!

[@gordontownsend8439]

Great tour thanks so much

[@NIRVC]

My pleasure! So glad you enjoyed our video!

[@larryseroter]

Great tour Angie, nice seeing you again....Larry

[@NIRVC]

Thank you Larry!

[@MrLucastobing]

Nice, Angie. You should host a TV show.

[@NIRVC]

Awe! You are too kind! You just made my day! Thank you Lucas!

[@Ursin101]

Angie please tell them to put a washer and dryer unit in a Winnebago View along with a bigger shower.

[@eduardob.6366]

Amazing video! Thanks Angie!

[@NIRVC]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching our videos!

[@hassanelaorf978]

great vedeo....plenty of informations thank you

[@NIRVC]

Thank you!

[@alanshad6292]

Angie, Thanks for the Amazing tour...Wow! What a facility..We use to own "Winnie" Brave. It was tough, and well built..looking towards a Class B soon. Winnebago considering nay future Class B Full slides (for space) w/dry bath & ini W/D hookup. They would dominate the Market in the Southwest. Shad in Az!

[@winginitwithjohn8451]

I'd like to see a tour of the Entegra Coach factory Angie.

[@WILDEBILL308]

Angie, you are doing an amazing job. I am going to tell the boss he should give you a raise.

[@NIRVC]

William! I like the way you are 🤔😉! Thank you for watching our videos!

[@gilbertcounts4317]

Great video

[@NIRVC]

Thank you!

[@darrenchichester9777]

This was fascinating to watch!

[@NIRVC]

Thank you Darren! So glad you enjoyed our video!

[@mickthedawg4575]

This made me change my mind. I'm buying the Winnebago!

[@TonyTorres-jj8ku]

Great Tour!

[@NIRVC]

Thank you Antonio!

[@NoWay-xu1ie]

Does Winnebago put in a fender well in the event of a blown tire to stop a lot of damage. Which happens on a lot of camper's and motorhomes ? Also is the wiring pulled through the walls shielded to stop chafing ? If not it should be. I've been through several MH factories in Elkhart Ind. That are doing some pretty crappy wiring from a mechanics view point. Also is the seating upholstery better than what other manufacturers use that falls apart in 3-4 years with full time use ?

[@NIRVC]

Thanks for watching! NIRVC owner, president, and CEO Brett Davis has worked to develop a solution to the blown tire you are worried about. It's called Rettroband. You can learn more here, including watching Brett drive an Entegra Cornerstone at 70mph while they remotely blow out the front tire, to demonstrate the effectiveness of Rettroband. www.rettroband.com/

[@vegasdavetv]

very nice angie, enjoyed it

[@NIRVC]

Thank you!

[@robertbarnes6639]

Please do a Newmar factory tour

Great example of just in time manufacturing.

[@NIRVC]

Yes! Very cool!

[@adda2637]

How long does it take to make ur avg RV? Don’t think they mentioned it. Thanks

[@jimbryan860]

I would have liked to see the finished product inside

[@silvershooter555]

First comment! :-) Thanks, Angie. Everything you do is wonderful. If I could, I'd buy all those NIRVC RVs on the lot from you. :-)

[@NIRVC]

Thank you so much Bruce! I’m so glad you enjoyed the factory tour! Thanks for watching our videos! 😊

[@roberttabler1037]

Very nice production. Not Falcon 9 or Dragon at SpaceX but legacy all the same. Curious why Winnebago uses MCD blinds? Seems like a no-brainer for their capabilities.

[@jimbryan860]

I would have enjoyed seeing the inside of the finished coach

[@jenifer34]

Yeah , in order to make A perfect Elegant Truck , this job is sooooo worthy role behind sence, to cut Any piece of high technic skill by Laser light , Thanks for Your Extremely job !!!

[@NIRVC]

Your welcome! Thank you for watching our videos!

[@ek9772]

A vertical manufacturer decreases costs and more importantly guarantees the supply of parts. I am curious if the long term result of the electro deposition paint is similar to galvanized metal in avoiding rust?

[@sapphiresword139]

Simply the best video on the RV World, on the net as of today. Thank you. Now - how the world are you ever going to top this?

[@NIRVC]

Awe!!! Thank you so much! I loved shooting this video!

Lucky 🍀 you! I love the Winnebago coaches! What year and model do you have?

[@JohnS916]

Nice infomercial.

[@NIRVC]

Glad you think so!

[@geasenergie]

Cool from Italy

[@thomasdarby6084]

With all due respect, Winnebago may be the world's oldest "Motorhome" manufacturer, but not the oldest RV manufacturer... that honor belongs to Airstream, which Wally Byam started in the 20's. Unfortunately today it is owned by Thor.

[@hasannassar8807]

first person to ever whatch this video

[@NIRVC]

Yah!!! 🎉 Thanks so much for being first and for watching our videos! 🎉

[@andrewlabat9963]

This goes to show that it doesn't matter, if it's a good reputable brand, they all use modern techniques and material, and pride. And the chassis, engine and expense of the material, solid wood vs. other makes a lot of cost difference. Gotta say that floor design looks very robust..

[@NIRVC]

Yes, it is! Thanks for watching our videos Andrew!

[@gerbermrsa]

awesome.......good old MADE IN THE USA........

[@NIRVC]

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Yes!

[@guarddog318]

I grew up in a time when an RV was simply a "Winnebago". There really wasn't anything else when it came to motorcoaches. ...well, unless you converted an old bus of some kind.

[@LowsJuan]

I didn't learn a whole lot. Spent most of the video staring at two people, craving to see more about why they made things the way they do. Some simple illustrations would have been a real boon instead of descriptions. That being said, there might have been some restrictions to protect Winnebago processes and technology that NIRV have no control over. In the end, I was left wanting. Interesting about the Winnebago production philosophy where they make 70ish per cent of what the install. The upside is that during COVID when parts shortages are as common as finding leaves on trees in the spring might solve this problem as long as they can get the raw materials. Plus it keeps more local Forest City people employed. Then again if there is a lack of HVAC parts or china toilets, then it really does not matter because the whole process is still delayed. I think Winnebago makes a pretty good product, so this does seem to work for them. Overall though the Motorhome industry is rife with stories of poor quality and leaving there customer abandoned without a working RV months after purchase.

[@imrank340]

This broad seems to know about RV.
