Hi all, We are looking at a 2014 Winnebago One travel trailer 30 RE, has anybody had an experience with the Winnebago Towables good or bad ? We currently have a 2012 Outback 277 RL, Thanks for the help .

We bought our 2014 Minnie in 2013, and have been very happy with it. I try to follow posts on Winnebago trailers and the reviews have been very good. If you do a search, you will hear about a few units that may have qualified for "lemon" status. My opinion is that the Winnebago line is a better than a lot of others and worth paying a little extra.

They are very well made, indeed.
The One is even a step up from the rest of the line.

Winnebago bought Sunnybrook back in 2010 and has been converting that premium brand into their current lineup.

Have had a Winnebago 29RL "One" for 2 1/2 years & 8k miles. Love it! Really like the curved ceiling & curved front cap. All appliances still work - no failures. Most significant mods were: new tires & TPMS, MOR/RYDE SRE4000 suspension, and Fantastic fan. Many other small mods have really made this a fantastic trailer. I would highly endorse the "One" series. I pull mine with a 1/2 ton pickup with plenty of sway control. This is not a lite trailer, so steep hills do involve slowing down. My only concern left with the trailer is the Lippert wheel axle/bearings - mine seem to be the 3500lb axle series but they have a 4400# label on them. Don't know if it was Winnebago or Lippert that decided they could have a higher rating. I don't trust a little label slapped on the axles, so they will be replaced in a couple of years with 5,000# axles & shock absorbers. I would do it again - the 29 & 30 are sweet TTs.
Winnebago is a bit slow in responding to emails. They may be slow, but they have responded to my emails (after reminder emails). Good luck in your decision.

Thanks for the replies ,we pulled the trigger and purchased it today !! Very excited to use it. We like the layout and all the upgrades that are on this unit. I will probably upgrade the suspension, our Outback had the equi-flex and it pulled great !! We liked our Outback, it was just time to update.
Thanks again . Safe travels

That's a nice trailer! Enjoy!

I thought the "One" had been discontinued and that line became the Ultra-Lite... Maybe I'm confused... it happens... I'm old.

Thanks scbwr , we are excited to use it !!
Winnebago did change to the ultra light line, 2014 was the last year of the one I believe. Have a GREAT summer !!
