Winnebago RV We are a consumer based company that rates Winnebago RV's in North America. Our rating guides feature Winnebago motorhomes; Class A & Class C. Winnebago Industries is one of the oldest and most well-known names in the recreational vehicle industry. The company, headquartered in Forest City, Iowa manufactures motorhomes and self-contained RVs for leisure and outdoor recreational use. The company was started in 1958 when John K. Hanson convinced a California company to open a travel trailer factory in the then economically depressed rural area of Forest City. Soon after, the factory was purchased by five Forest City residents and Hanson became its president. The name Winnebago came into use in 1960.

At that time, the company was primarily manufacturing travel trailers and furniture and accessories for these trailers. By constantly updating, they developed innovative products such as a wall construction process called Thermo-Panel® that provides a strong, lightweight, insulated sidewall. This is still a Winnebago exclusive.

In 1966, Winnebago built its first motorhome. It was a 19-foot model that had everything a family needed for cross-country adventure. Through use of the assembly line and other manufacturing innovations in the motorhome industry, Winnebago RV could produce a motorhome that sold for half the price of competitors’ models.
