To find out for yourself, stop by R’nR RV Center in Liberty Lake and North Spokane, Washington, or Lewiston, Idaho, and we’ll give you a complete tour of available options.
History
The start of the Winnebago legacy dates back to the 1950s when John K. Hanson started a small travel trailer business to boost the local economy. This small business grew and grew until 1960, when the company was renamed Winnebago and the juggernaut truly took off.
In 1966, they released their very first, company-produced model, the 001, an affordable motorcoach built for families who wanted to see the country with their children without breaking the bank. It was the beginning of a long history of affordable, efficient, and enjoyable RVs, a reputation they keep up to this day.
Winnebago also contributed a number of firsts to the industry. This includes things like Thermo-Panel, or insulated walls for a more comfortable and efficient living area without adding an impossible amount of weight.
Winnebago® RVs in Pop Culture
The company became so famous, that they started to make their way into pop culture and media, and many considered Winnebago to be synonymous with all RVs. They’ve been featured in political campaigns, movies, TV shows, and even songs.
