Thought I would pass along this mailing I received from Winnebago. Might affect some Forum Memebers in the Great Northwest Region of the USA.
I heard about this on a Aspect FB Group where a man had shared this info. Wonder if this is due to Corporate Acquisitions and the (Hopefully Temporary) Downturn on the Economy as the main Driving factors? I know Winnebago had previously gobbled up Newmar and with that I am sure put a hurt on their Financial Picture.

From: Dean Casad, Director of Customer Support
Subject: Junction City Service Center Announcement
Over the past months, the Winnebago Motorhome business has made several announcements regarding changes to operations and procedures as we manage the impact which the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has placed on the business. As we move forward, our focus remains on the safety of our employees and the long-term strength of the Winnebago Motorhome Business.
In response to the current business environment, we have made the very difficult decision to close our factory service center in Junction City, Oregon. The Junction City Service Center has always had a reputation for high quality work and excellent customer service. We appreciate the service from our Junction City team, and are working with the affected employees to apply for other positions within Winnebago Industries.
Winnebago Motorhome and Country Coach owners in the Northwest seeking parts and service support are encouraged to visit Guaranty RV in Junction City or RV Corral in Eugene. Please reach out directly to these dealers to schedule service. You can also find your closest dealer at the Winnebago website: https://winnebago.com/shopping-tools/locate-a-dealer
Along with this service center consolidation, Winnebago will phase out support for Country Coach parts and accessories. We encourage you to seek repair and service resources through your local dealer and owner groups and e-commerce sites.
We greatly appreciate your loyalty. Winnebago Industries is committed to continuing to provide you with industry-leading Factory Service at our facility in Forest City, IA. Contact us to make an appointment for service or repairs: https://www.winnebago.com/contact-us.
