2020 Winnebago VIEW: complaints, problems and recalls

THE BUNK LADDER WAS STORED DURING TRANSIT IN THE PROVIDED MOUNTING CLIPS BY THE ENTRANCE DOOR AND CAME CRASHING DOWN DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. WE CONTACTED WINNEBAGO AND THEIR SUGGESTION WAS TO PLACE THE LADDER ON THE FLOOR DURING TRANSIT. IF WE DID THIS WE'D HAVE A 9 POUND PROJECTICLE FLYING THROUGH THE COACH IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY. HAVING A LOOSE LADDER SLIDING AROUND IS NOT AN ADEQATE SAFETY SOLUTION.

I own a 2022 Winnebago View that has a curbside awning system installed that is identical to the awning referenced in NTHSB Recall Notice 22V-695. The Winnebago View models since 2020 all use the same awning not just the models listed in your recall. I have experienced 2 uncommanded partial deployments of the awning. I was able to retract both times. The awning occasionally wont extend either but eventually it does with normal use of awning controls. Many other owners are experiencing the same issues as the message boards on social media (Faceb…

I own a 2020 Winnebago View 24D that has a curbside awning system by Carefree that is identical to the awning referenced in the NTHSB Recall Notice 22V-695000. This awning system has been used on all 2020+ Winnebago View models. I have experienced multiple uncommanded partial awning deployments and recently when turning on the generator the awning cycled partially in and out 6 times. Often the generator is used to help cool the coach while driving at highway speeds. If this were to happen it would be a safety issue for us as well as possibly ot…

Plexiglass window on house door to RV separates.

The window separates from the house door either partially or completely - in the latter case - causing the window to fly off and pose a threat to other drivers. The sudden separation of the window is a safety issue to occupants of the RV since it may not be immediately apparent what the problem is while driving at interstate speeds.…
