They introduced the Destination fiver a few years ago and that tanked.
They bought Grand Design and now premium and class A manufacturer Newmar.
Looks to like the Winnebago name is going to be just an umbrella with other manufacturers under it.
Time will tell but I certainly don't think they are turning out anything like they used to.

Do you know why the Winnebago Destination 5th wheel "tanked" ? We bought a 2017 39FB last year. Other than a sealant lack causing the living room slide floor to rot ,generally we think this 5er is way better than any of the newer ones. The Lippert/Winnebago frame seems solid; it has shock absorbers(4) and all the attachments seem to be well welded, even with support gussets over the spring hangers etc.
If anyone has any comments about 2017 and older Winnebago 5ers please dont be shy !
