Dometic doesn't necessarily make their own products - some are just re-branded, like microwaves, ice makers, etc.

Very cool!

It's a cute buggar.  If you were into restoring it looks like it would only be minimal work to keep it in the original condition.  It has survived the usual "butchering" they get as they age like using a chainsaw to put a window AC in the back wall or plywood siliconed over a missing outside...

I'm kind of with Gary - would have rather had Newmar be a place I could jump to when I wanted to move out of Winnebago.  Now I just hope they don't try to meet in the middle.  I liked seeing all the premium stuff on the King Air and watching it trickle down into the Dutch Star a few years later.

I have the RVi2 on a Wrangler, and living 12 miles from Castle Rock I've circled down there to get help setting it up correct (my issue was not setting for vacuum brakes properly).  I have had to panic stop and ABS kicked in on the Freightliner and the RVi2 did it's thing, however....I honestly...

I've got a bad habit of not keeping the toad full of gas and too lazy to disconnect and fill it at the gas island.  Nothing would be worse than breaking down on the loneliest highway in the world and not having enough gas in the toad to get help  :o Looked at an F150 3.0L diesel as a toad the...

Too late for pros and cons - but it looks like a nice looking coach!  Visit the Winnebagoind.com site and at the bottom look in Product Resources and you can still get wiring diagrams, plumbing diagrams, manuals, etc.  I would download all of it and keep on a tablet to take with you for...

If you get a Camping World/Pilot Flying J Card you can fill up at Pilot trucker pumps without going inside to prepay.  The account gives you a code to enter at the pump.  The Pilot Flying J stations often have RV islands which also offer RV dumps, propane, water and a little quieter and cleaner...

The Chassis for the Horizon is the Freightliner XCL Chassis with the Cummins 8.9 ISL and Allison 3000, tried and true.  It does not have Independent front suspension and has a rear radiator, so closer to the Journey/Meridian than anything else in the Winnebago line.  That has been a reliable...

If you are looking at the Adventurer for the first time, the new series (2019-2020) Adventurer is what it is.  If you looked at the Adventurer a few years back, you'll be disappointed.  The 2017 Adventurer was a top end gas coach that sported features and quality that paralleled the diesel...

The CEO gave a good presentation at GNR.  My take on what he said - they were in trouble 2-3 years ago when he started.  From nearly $2 billion down to $400 million and vulnerable to a buy-out by Thor or the like.  His marching orders were to diversify, hence the purchase of Grand Design, Chris...

I've been to the last two - and would probably need to disagree.  Although the large percentage of participants are the large Class As, they are like dinosaurs out there compared to the GNR focus on the Class B and MinnieBs.  To me, with a Class A tag axle, I felt a little out of place because...

Watch Ron's video here - it is critical to keep your roof on and you happy with Winnebago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJz7doxPQXg

The Jeep yes, the golf cart is rented at the Rally.

This Horizon came in to the GNR late - for sale from the factory.  It's the last or one of the last Horizon 42Qs built in Junction City (which may or may not be a good thing), but it is a one of a kind!  It's built on a left over Grand Tour chassis with True Steer (rear steering) and has several...
