About
Tours of the Winnebago motorhome complex start at the Visitors Center and follow chassis through to finished RVs, indoors, in about two hours. They run during real production hours, so they are weekdays only and can be cancelled at short notice. Visitors wear a provided safety vest and glasses and must wear closed-toe shoes. A separate towables tour is held at the company's plant in Indiana and is not covered here.
Run by: Winnebago Industries.
Where official pages disagree
- days and hours: The FAQ states 9 a.m. and noon Monday to Thursday; the tour page itself gives no times and says tours can be cancelled at short notice. winnebago.com/discover/factory-tours-motorh… · winnebago.com/discover/factory-tours-motorh…
