A Bit Of History

Winnebago was founded in the late 1950s by John K. Hanson, who wanted to improve the economy of his town, Forest City, Iowa. Hanson, with the help of local community leaders, encouraged a California travel trailer manufacturer to set up shop in his town. In 1960, the factory was renamed Winnebago Industries after the Iowa county it was founded in, which in turn stemmed from an exonym applied to the regional Ho-Chunk tribe.

After Hanson and five other entrepreneurs bought the company, they started to manufacture furniture specific to their Winnebago trailers. In 1966, the first Winnebago motorhome rolled off the assembly lines and soon became an icon of the RV industry thanks to its unique stylings and competitive pricing. Winnebago motorhomes were, in general, about half as costly as similar models made by competitors, so customers flocked to them for the sheer bargain. Over the next few decades, Winnebago became synonymous with “motorhome,” as they expanded their lines and created more unique RV styles to meet customers’ expectations. Winnebago trailers and RVs remain a popular choice with campers all over the world.
 

Choosing The Winnebago Lifestyle

If you want to feel a real sense of belonging as a recreational vehicle owner, joining an RV club is the way to go. The Winnebago International Travelers Club (WITC) is just such an organization, providing a convenient way for Winnebago owners to get in touch with one another, plan travel, attend regular gatherings and swap RV living tips.

The WITC even has an annual event in Forest City that is meant especially for its members. The Grand National Rally offers activities, food, entertainment, and more to proud Winnebago owners. This event also provides RV owners with access to seminars and RV-specific vendors.
