We purchased our 2004 Winnebago Journey 36G new. We got 36,000 good miles. Then the turbo broke and needed a new one 🙄 that one and the next 2 turbos were covered. The 4th, yes the 4th was on us. 300 Cummins engine. It now has 136,000 and just needed new ignitors and air flow. Cost $8,000. We will just have to try to sell for whatever we can get for it. My husband has always taken care of maintenance and kept all records. It has been kept in our barn since day one. Never buy new, Winnebago, or 300 Cummins engine again.

This is the first new motorhome bought in March 2004. We have had nothing but problems since 36,000 miles. Needed a turbo. Then another turbo. In all 4 turbos. Cummins paid for 3. Last one was $5000 on us. Winnebago was absolutely no help at all. Man in Iowa just hung his head and said there was nothing they could do. This was after the 2nd turbo. The only help we got was from the dealer in Georgia who gave us the name of the man at Cummins. Thank God for him. We are now trying to find someone to buy it. We will not lie to anyone about the problems we have had. Good luck to us. We will never buy a Winnebago.

Having owned two gas motor homes from 2003 to 2015, I moved up to a diesel. I knew from the start I wanted a Winnebago 32T because of the specs. While she was a short diesel, she had ample fresh water, propane, fuel, and waste tanks. She was powered by the very economical 5.9L Cummins diesel and was equipped with an exhaust brake - something very necessary with a heavy diesel. She had a six speed Allison 3000 MH transmission. The interior layout was very useful and convenient. We purchased our 2004 Winnebago Journey 32T in June of 2015. She was everything I hoped she'd be, and I planned to keep her as long as we could RV. We loved the great fuel mileage of 11 MPG. We did not tow and drove at 60 MPH. The comfort of air suspension alone was worth the move up to diesel. We loved the very quiet, efficient, trouble free basement air conditioning. It was as quiet as our home central air. In the 28 months we owned her, we put 25,000 miles on her. She was very comfortable driving down the highway and very cozy and homelike when we parked overnight. Nearly every night on the road we dry camped at a Walmart. Unfortunately, in October, 2017 while driving through Kansas on US50 toward Graceland in Tennessee from our home in California, someone pulled in front of us, causing a major accident. The other driver was 100% at fault. Sadly, he died at the scene. Our beloved "Cecil the Diesel" was totaled. We were unable to find another 32T as we shopped for a replacement, and bought a 2005 34' Bounder diesel. It's a fine coach, but with just 8.5 MPG we surely miss the economical Winnebago. Whenever we have to use the noisy roof mounted air conditioners, we miss her even more! I am perpetually in search of another 32T, but at our advancing ages, it's likely we'll continue with the Bounder. My personal website which tells of all our RV travels is Fishwisher.com

This motor home is tops for livability and quality. The opposing slides in the living room and the bedroom slide makes it like a small apartment -- LOTS of "Living" room. The convection microwave bakes better than my large convection micro at home. Our MoHo has a 7.5 Onan genset as well as a small solar panel. It would be very easy to upgrade to a larger solar system; then one could boondock anywhere. The heat pump ac is very economical and provides heat and ac through the floor vents - just like a house. The separate toilet room is a bonus. The shower is a little on the small side. Overall we are VERY impressed with the unit and if we purchased again, Winnebago would be at the top of our list.
