Bought their Revel from a different RV dealer and were unsatisfied with their orientation experience until they came to Lichtsinn RV!

Like most: "We purchased a 2012 Itasca Ellipse 42QD from Litchsinn on Oct. 7, 2011. Jason B., our salesman was extremely helpful, friendly, & an all around good person! He introduced us to Ron Litchsinn, who treated us like royalty. The entire staff at the dealership worked hard to make us feel comfortable and help us with any thing we wanted to know. We have called back to the dealership for help with small problems (which we did find answers to eventually in our manualsjust hadn't read far enough yet! :-) ) & they didn't treat us like idiots. This dealership is full of great people who really want the customer to be happy. We just wish we could rate them higher than 5-stars. If you're looking for a dealership that cares before the sale and also after, then Litchinn in Forest City, Iowa, is the place for you!" The Smiths, Linda & Rick, Sedalia MO - Linda
We highly recommend Lichtsinn RV. Our first Winnebago View, purchased from them in 2007, attained 115,000 miles. Our second Winnebago View, purchased in 2021, already has 30,000 miles!
Excellent experience both in purchasing and in service, as well as parts. Even though we live in California, we would only buy an RV from the wonderful people at Lichtsinn!

If you are thinking of buying a new Winnebago there is simply no better dealer to buy from. Getting a rig a mile from where it was built is great- but the level of customer service is what really sets this dealer apart from the rest. Spending a couple nights at the dealership to make sure you fully understand the rig and deal with any issues that come up was great.
My rig had a recall and we decided to drive from Tennessee back to Forest City to let Lichtsinn deal with it, also had some upgrades done at the same time. Their Service department is unlike 99% of the RV Dealer service departments- great communications, they do great work and the rates are reasonable. Anders was my service contact and was excellent- good guy and is a straight shooter.

Thanks so much for your excellent customer service and your sales management coordination during the process of purchasing my new Solis 59P. From our initial telephone conversation through the purchase closing and post-sale support, your friendly demeanor, expertise, and outstanding and unwavering patience ensured the best possible transactional experience--two thumbs up.
And regarding the rest of the Lichtsinn team:
Jeremy (orientation), was very helpful answering my many questions, and demonstrating all the chassis and coach features with his extensive knowledge of the Solis 59P. He was also a very good help with the basic accessories I needed to purchase in order to operate my 59P. A big shout-out for Jeremy.
Kevin (transaction paperwork), made sure that I knew the correct method and timing for the wire transfer, and he handled all the purchase paperwork with accuracy and a big friendly smile, which I very much appreciated. Good job by Kevin.
Amy (accessories front desk cashier): was quite pleasant during the purchase of my rv accessories. She was friendly, efficient, and I enjoyed her happy and conversational manner--very much. Thanks to Amy for all that.

Great experience buying our new Travato. Communications were frequent, and questions were answered in a very timely manner. We were constantly asked if we had questions, and the answers provided were clear. The financing process was solid, and we felt no pressure in terms of options or other add-ons. Would recommend Lichtsinn to friends or family.
Dan & Cindy
Cedarburg, WI - Dan
We had a great experience with Mike Haugen at Lichtsinn RV right from the first phone call! He was so very attentive and gave us a lot of great guidance to help us make the best of decisions in the purchase of our 23 Revel. We were happy to spend the night before receiving a great orientation by Chris! There is something about buying a Winnebago right near the factory and from this long time family owned dealership that made a big difference for us. Bandon, who helped us to finish our purchasing and getting all necessary paperwork was impeccable. We are so happy we met Justin who has offered to help us any time we may need it. It was a pleasure and a nice "touch" to meet Ron, the owner, who is a down to earth kind of guy. We are so glad to be a part of the Lichtsinn RV Revel Family.
Michelle
Estes Park, CO - Michelle
Wow, an amazing showroom and huge lots of hundreds of models. The sales force was very helpful, friendly and professional. They took time to answer my questions and contacted their parts department for more information. They followed up with email. Comprehensive parts department. They have everything! Comfortable waiting area for those customers having service performed. I was able to personally look at different models and see what is available and make decisions about what would meet my needs. They have basic models, and a wide variety of configurations an options. The quality is amazing! Highly recommended, well worth the trip and time spent.

Through a lifetime of RV and automotive purchases, this was the smoothest most pleasing purchase experience we have ever had! Lichtsinn RV was definitely worth the trip from the coast of North Carolina.
David
Southern Shores, NC - David
The Lichtsinn dealership is a very professionally run business. The process they use keeps you informed after you purchase the RV and through your orientation of the vehicle. We would certainly recommend purchasing from Lichtsinn wherever you live.
Howard & Liz

Great Team and Great Experience. Thanks for your attention to detail, consistent communication, and walking with us through this process.
Wes
Salem, OR - Wes
2023D I must take a moment to brag on our experience at Lichtsinn RV in Forest City, Iowa. From the day that we ordered this gem, the “Lichtsinn Family” has been there to answer ALL of our questions & concerns. We flew in from Arkansas & they had a car waiting for us. We had access to the car the entire time there to go to dinner, run errands & pick up things for the journey home. We had a complementary 1/2 day orientation of our new view. That afternoon we added a couple options to it & that night we spent our 1st night in our View right there plugged into Lichtsinn’s complimentary hookups, giving us time to “check things out” before heading home. Stacy Anderson was an absolute joy to work with, as was Anders in service, Jeremy at orientation & Kevin handling our paperwork. We highly recommend Lichtsinn RV & their staff to anyone even thinking about purchasing an RV. The “personal touch” of customer service truly makes a difference. It was definitely worth the trip!
Glenda
Warren, AR - Glenda from Warren, AR
If you’re serious about an RV, there are really only two options: Winnebago, the highest quality, most innovative RV on the market — and Lichtsinn RV in Forest City, the world’s premier Winnebago dealer. It’s not difficult to find almost every RV for sale on a number of websites. And that led me to Lichtsinn. Emailing with questions. Visiting to test drive and learn more about models and used options. And the purchasing process is all smooth and filled with friendly and helpful people. I live in the Twin Cities, but will be coming to Lichtsinn for all my RV needs. Top quality people. Amazing service. And the best variety of Winnebagos in the country. Highly recommend!
Dan
Lakeville, MN - Dan
We recently purchased a used (barely) Winnebago Navion from Lichtsinn. This is our third RV and we’ve had many cars over the 59 years of our marriage. Never before have we the excellent “everything” as with this one. Certainly, we’ve had excellent service before, but we’ve also had the worst, including with one previous motor home. We LOVE Lichtsinn. There were a few problems that Lichtsinn was quick to address. The service department is always available for help, and they know what they are talking about, which is rare in our RV experience! They are kind, their facility is totally welcoming, and we are thrilled. Thanks especially to Abby, Deanna, Brandon, Kevin, and Jay. We couldn’t be more pleased, and we’ll be back.

The Lichtsinn group made the process of purchasing and picking up my Winnebago Revel 44E easy and hassle-free. They were very quick to respond to my numerous questions. Looking forward to dealing with them in the future.

Great experience. Quality product and they treat you like family. Highly recommend.
John
Bartlett, TN - John
I had heard Lichtsinn was the place to go even though I live many states away. I decided to take the advice of many and it was the best decision! The communication was great, the pick up trip was smooth, transport from the airport was well organized, the vehicle orientation was fantastic. Staying a night on the lot to check everything out was especially comforting to a new RVer. Most special of all were the friendly dedicated Lichtsinn staff who made me feel like I was their only customer. It was a great experience from start to finish and I'm SOOOO glad I chose Lichtsinn RV!
Pam
Ronkonkoma, NY - Pam
Love our Winnebago View from Lichtsinn and the ongoing support and service. We flew in from Maryland just to buy from Lichtsinn. So glad we did!
Tom
Saint Michaels, MD - Tom from Saint Michaels, MD
This is our second Winnebago purchase with Lichtsinn RV, and if there were to be a 3rd, this is where we would choose to do business. We live out west and drove 1500 miles to pick up our new Winnebago View. Our experience has been exemplary. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They make sure you know your rig before you leave the lot to ensure the ultimate RV lifestyle experience. Our service issues have been minimal, but we’re promptly taken care of so we could hit the road. This is our 7th RV purchase and our second Winnebago. Lichtsinn RV was worth the cross country drive.

If you are looking for a sales to delivery process that is free of glitches and hassles I can’t recommend Lichtsinn RV highly enough. I live on the West Coast and just returned after picking up my RV in Forest City, Iowa. Lichtsinn had my unit in top shape and ready for delivery the day I arrived. All my options were installed per specification and after a thorough orientation, I was ready to hit the road. The only issue I had with my 2,500-mile return trip over mountain passes in extraordinarily high winds turned out to be operator error. My 2022 Winnebago View performed flawlessly and I averaged 15 mpg overall, exceptional given the wind conditions and extensive mountain pass driving. Anything that goes smoothly and appears “easy” is a lot more work that something poorly done, and Lichtsinn demonstrated that they really know what they are doing and and work hard to make everything come together for their customers. Five stars all around.
Brien
Kenmore, WA - Brien from Kenmore, WA
If you want a dealer that goes the extra mile, takes care of their customers, and is a pleasure to work with Lichtsinn is it.
Single older female I never felt pressured to buy more than I need. Ron spent a good amount of time last GNR asking questions on how I used my previous RV to help me configure my new one. Everyone has been wonderful! If you want service, the old fashion REAL service, this is the place to buy your next RV.

Stacy and all of the staff were wonderful throughout our entire buying experience. Professional and caring describe them. Mark, one of the super techs, came in on his day off to diagnose a faulty sensor and help send us safely on our way. We have recommended them to friends and a Nebraska State Trooper that admired our EKKO. No doubt, 5 stars.
Vaughn
Winthrop, WA - Vaughn
Great people and extremely accommodating!
Sharon
Voluntown, CT - Sharon from CT
This is the best dealership we have ever dealt with! People in every stage of the process were responsive, competent and enthusiastic - 5 stars!
Mary
Hudson, WI - Ron
The staff at Lichtsinn RV are very detail oriented and addressed all of my questions and concerns (and added additional insights that I wasn’t smart enough to ask about). Delighted with the experience of ordering and taking delivery of a View 24J. One of the best aspects of buying is their familiarity across the spectrum of Class A, B, and C coaches. I really feel like I got the perfect coach for my families needs. It feels like the Lichtsinn focus on customer satisfaction is their lead concern, the rest works itself out beautifully from there.
Bill
Maple Grove, MN - Bill from Osseo, MN
After buying our first Winnebago from Lichtsinn RV 14 1/2 years ago, and putting 114,000 miles on it, when the time came to buy our next motorhome we knew we would return to Iowa even though we live in California. In addition to the quality of the RV, it really is all about the people. From being picked up by our friendly driver, Monte at the Minneapolis airport, to our excellent sales person Stacy, and Anders in service and parts, we are completely happy with Lichtsinn motors! So now my sister and I are happily on the road in our 2022 Winnebago View J! And our three dogs really love the RV lifestyle too!
Stephanie
Mission Viejo, CA - Stephanie
Great dealership! Worth the trip from anywhere to buy your RV from a team of employees that know their products and embrace outstanding customer service.
Jim
Arroyo Grande, CA - Jim from Arroyo Grande, CA
We drove from Wisconsin to purchase our Navion 24V. Lichtsinn made it all easy. Everyone we worked with was knowledgeable and so friendly. The orientation was through and we didn’t feel rushed to finish. Thank you Lichtsinn for our new Navion we are so looking forward to all our new adventures.
Deb

Just got this Travato 59GL today and the Lichtsinn customer service is 10 Star Service!
Mike & Pamela
Lafayette, CO - Mike
Being from the North Iowa area, we had heard about the outstanding product and customer service that Lichtsinn RV provide to their customers. After purchasing our 2022 Travato KL, we had the good fortune to experience this. While we have high expectations for the product we purchase and the customer service that we receive, the staff at Lichtsinn RV exceeded our expectations!! We feel very fortunate to own our Travato and to have first-hand, high-quality customer support just a few miles away! If others are looking at purchasing an RV in the near future, we wholeheartedly recommend you to contact Lichtsinn RV! You will not be disappointed!
Steve & Sheryl
Forest City, IA - Steve
I picked Lichtsinn for my first RV purchase because of their reputation. I was very pleased to experience professional, knowledgeable and helpful interactions with everyone I had contact with. Their communication with me was outstanding during sales, delivery status and closing on the purchase. I always felt they valued my business and they really cared any questions or concerns I had were answered to my satisfaction. Great people who are well trained and care made me a very satisfied customer!
George
Spring, TX - George
We drove from South Carolina to purchase our new 2022 View from Lichtsinn RV this week. Great experience, fair pricing, helpful service technicians that provided a wonderful orientation, responsive sales rep. We think it was worth the 1100 miles drive to buy from this dealership.

Purchased our 2021 Winnebago Solis PX from Lichtsinn in February of 2021. Overall a very smooth transaction and the walkthrough of our new RV with Ben got us off to a good start!
Chris
Arlington Heights, IL - Chris from Arlington Heights, IL
We flew halfway across the country to purchase our View from Lichtsinn based on their reputation for world-class service and support. We had many custom features installed and they did an outstanding job! We will never buy an RV anywhere else. Simply the best!
Tom
Saint Michaels, MD - Tom from Saint Michaels, MD
Highly recommend for research of models you’re interested in. Their videos and specs for each Winnebago RV model are first class. Their sales and delivery are also first class. Also, customer service is pretty awesome. All in all, a hard combo to beat.
Michael
Naples, FL - Michael
There is a reason this place is called the Heartland! Everyone we met at Lichtsinn, from the 1st webchat to the most recent follow-up, ACTUALLY CARED about us! No schmoozy feel-good salespeople, or dunce caps for new buyers there! They supported us at every step and question while causing us to pause, learn, and understand BEFORE we made a hasty/wrong decision. I've been to many websites and dealerships around the country. They are far above rest, yet humbly share their knowledge and experiences in person and by video, with great pricing as well.
Rick
Mechanicsburg, PA - Rick
What a great experience we had buying our Camper Van from Lichtsinn RV. Very efficient and easy. Well worth the travel. We shopped around and know we got the best price.
Judy
Ruckersville, VA - Judith
Could not have asked for a better experience. From initial contact to pickup, financing, and orientation the Litchtsinn staff did a very professional job. Being able to pick up my RV with no miles was the added bonus as I was able to break in the unit. Highly recommend Litchsinn RV and will buy from them again down the road.

Great experience. Knowledgeable technical, finance, and sales staff. Top-notch from the airport pickup through final inspection. Highly recommended.
Steve
Colorado Springs, CO - Steve
Lichtsinn is the place to buy your RV. Great prices, service, knowledgeable staff, and no pressure sales team. All negotiations, upgrades, and contracts can be handled via email. Delivery was quick/easy and exactly as ordered and the coach orientation was very informative.
Scott
Madison, WI - Scott from Madison, WI
We love Lichtsinn RV! This is the second RV we have purchased from them, and it was a great experience both times! The entire process is easy. From the time our RV was ordered until we drove it off their lot, every person we came into contact with was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and each one made us feel so welcome. A special thanks to Reed, Brandon, Rhonda, Jeremy, Kevin, Heidi, and Justin. We are so pleased with our new Minnie Winnie 26T.

We took our new View 24D from Minnesota to Texas 2 weeks ago. When you buy a new car or house, one would expect a few things to be wrong. This coach was flawless, not one problem. Thanks so much for the 100% inspection. Will tell anyone about the perfect coach we got from you.

Lichtsinn RV is over-the-top in customer service! From our Airport shuttle driver, Darryl Delzer, who made the 2 hour haul an enjoyable historical fact-filled tour of Forest City and Winnebago to meeting the Lichtsinn Team in full force. We never thought twice about WHY Lichtsinn? Thank you, Adam, Justin, Brandon and Ben for getting us on the road. No wonder Lichtsinn is the #1 Dealer in The Country
Mark & Amy
Destin, FL - Amy from Destin, FL

Wonderful experience. Knowledgeable staff answered all our questions. Everything you need is in their store. If you are in the market for an RV, start at Lichtsinn.
Chip
North Liberty, IA - R.
Our experience with Lichtsinn RV is worthy of five stars. From day one Abby, Sales Consultant, was straight up honest on pricing, demand and estimated delivery. She provided regular updates and handled our Revel purchase, to Brandon’s seamless financial interactions and advice, to Brett’s informative walkthrough when we picked up our Revel. The Orientation video, sent to us before arriving in Forest City, allowed us to familiarize ourselves with the coach features. We were quite pleased with Justin’s installation of the surge guard, the panel mod’s and a last minute request for a third lithium battery as well as Brian’s assuring conversation on the Inspection findings from the Service Department. Lonnie from the Parts Department was also helpful with our inquires and recommending necessities. We couldn’t be more happy with the Lichtsinn RV team and our first ever RV purchase experience. Thank you, T
Theresa
Pleasanton, CA - Theresa from Pleasanton, CA
It took us time to get our new plates for our 21 View 24V. We picked up our unit from storage Friday night for a short overnight stay at a local state park. When it came time to put the new plates on, I realized that I had become attached to the Lichtsinn RV plates and just could not trash them. It made me aware of the fact that we are as proud of our dealer as we are of our new RV…
Thanks again for being an upright, upstanding dealer. You are appreciated.
Loving our unit and looking forward to years of good travels.

Lichtsinn RV's customer service and level of expertise is THE best we have ever experienced with ANY industry or business. Their website led us to call them. From that first phone call to leaving the dealership less than a month later with a new RV - we found their help and assistance above and beyond. There are many positive adjectives to describe our incredible experience; the top ones that come to mind are responsive, knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, and totally focused on our satisfaction. All of this led us - as first time RV owners - to travel from South Carolina to Iowa to do business with them. We have no regrets and would do it all again!!!
Lenna
Gilbert, SC - Lance
Nice to get new vehicle without delivery miles. Excellent library of educational videos. Thorough multi-hour walk-through on the day of pick-up. Knowledgeable and personable staff. Well-stocked store onsite with good selection of accessories. Price seemed competitive.
Tom
Lake Elmo, MN - Tom from Lake Elmo, MN
We wanted to contact your dealership to express our sincere gratitude in the professional manner in which you helped us purchase our new RV. Last fall we flew to Forest City to pick up a 2020 Winnebago View. Arrangements were made by your company to have someone pick us up from our hotel near Minneapolis and drive us to Forest City. Knowing that we had limited time, you had our new RV ready to go and we were given thorough, and concise, instructions so we could get on the road back to Utah.
We are so pleased with our RV and have had no problems with it. As we approach the anniversary of our purchase, we were pleasantly surprised to receive a phone call from your dealership, asking us if all had been acceptable with the vehicle, and if we had any questions.
I would highly recommend your dealership to anyone interested in purchasing an RV. It has been a pleasure to do business with you!
Sara
Highland, UT - Paul
Loved the experience! My questions were answered quickly and in a way we could understand. Pick up went well and my van was in beautiful condition. Thank you Lichtsinn!
Ann
Sioux Fall, SD - Ann
This is my third new RV purchase and Lichtsinn RV is the gold standard that all Winnebago dealers should strive to emulate. A pandemic, challenging travel environment, and factory shutdown made the Lichtsinn experience different but still rewarding. Reed Burkholder, my sales consultant patiently answered all my months of emails and phone calls and checked on on me as I drove 1800 miles home. Brian Buffington, the service director, spent considerable time with me during an evening when he could have been home. And with a delayed flight and late evening arrival Brandon Mondt managed the paperwork so I could spend the night in my new Forza. Thank You LIchtsinn.
Greg
Sisters, OR - Greg from Sisters, OR
This is the second RV we’ve purchased from Lichtsinn. If you want to be treated like a welcome guest, receive a thorough orientation and get a fair deal give Lichtsinn RV a try. We’re thrilled, for the second time!
Daniel
Saline, MI - Daniel
Thanks for your support and a wonderful buying process for the RV. Your knowledge, educational videos, and willingness to support the buyer were appreciated.
Douglas
Eagan, MN - Douglas
We had a wonderful experience with Nicole Lovik-Blaser as well as the rest of the team at Lichtsinn! We were first introduced to Lichtsinn through their incredibly helpful website and educational materials as we researched buying our Travato. Nicole responded to my on-line request for information, and stayed with us every step of the way. I never dreamed I would fly half way across the country in the dead of winter to buy an RV, but after becoming familiar with Lichtsinn’s knowledge, experience and reputation for quality, not to mention their outstanding pricing, that is exactly what we did. I also can’t say enough about the post-sale follow-up, as they have been invaluable to us in dealing with some post-sale issues. Their customer service (and compassion) can only be described as extraordinary!
Kathy
Venice, FL - Kathy
I had been looking for a class B van for the last year and a half. I started watching the YouTube video's that Ron put's out and reached out and contacted Reed my salesman at the dealership. After looking in my home state of Oklahoma and north Texas it was obvious I needed to make the 800 mile trip to Forest City, Iowa. My son and I flew to Minneapolis and were picked up at the airport by Jeremy who happened to be the person who was doing our orientation on the Travato. Not only was the cost of the Travato less but I ended up getting my insurance there also. Kevin handled the paperwork which took less than 30 minutes and Maggie took a picture of the proud new Travato owners. I am so glad I made the trip and don't be afraid to go the distance because it is worth it. The dealership is first class and all they sell is Winnebago so they know Winnebago inside and out. Also they have the best selection. I can't thank the team at Lichtsinn enough for making a long trip a very pleasant one. I just wish they were closer to me so I could go there for any service needs.
Paul
Cache, Ok - Paul from Cache, OK
It might seem a little strange to custom order a new Winnebago View coach from Lichtsinn RV in Forest City, Iowa when you live 1000 miles away in Mississippi, but, it was the best thing that the wife and I ever did. The entire experience with Lichtsinn, from order to pickup, can be described by such words as: Fair, Enjoyable, Honest, and Hospitable. I can assure you, nationwide, when purchasing a Winnebago product, they are the ONLY game in town!
Bill and Carol
Ridgeland, MS - William
Just took delivery of a new Winnebago View 24D last week. The dealership pricing was solid, and the additional upgrades were performed by their staff with precision. There were no surprises or delays (actually a little ahead of schedule I think). Their facility is top notch and their folks very very knowledgeable. Thanks Nicole Lovik-Blaser for your professionalism.
Ted and Roxie
Almelund, MN - Ted
Lichtsinn is a CLASS ACT for an RV purchasing experience. Customer service, service maintenance, and price are five star.
Jim
Peoria, AZ - Jim
We picked up our new Revel a few weeks ago, and had a great time driving it home. The entire Lichtsinn team was so friendly and helpful, and the entire experience was awesome! They had our new Revel all ready to go, we went through the training, picked up a few groceries and items for the road and were on the road. I certainly recommend Lichtsinn RV!
Roger
Issaquah, WA - Roger
Very knowledgeable staff and friendly environment. They went above and beyond to make me comfortable. They merely educated me so that I could make a good decision. I never felt “sold to.” I quoted with and talked to around 9 dealers and they were light years ahead of the others. I came from GA and would recommend them to anyone.
Thomas
Dahlonega, GA - Thomas from Dahlonega, GA
What did I like about Lichtsinn RV? The staff (SUPER friendly), their knowledge of Winnebago Products (Awesome knowledge base) and the facilities were also great. Everyone went out of their way to treat us like welcomed guests. The Rig was ready to go and the orientation was the best we've had (in the RV industry, especially). We were prepared with questions to ask! Did I mention the Video Library?? We must have watched the orientation on the Travato KL 5 times each. We were ready to get the most out of our orientation. Thank you Lichtsinn RV for making such an effort to help your customers (Guests!). Get your next Winnebago from Lichtsinn RV!!!!!
Sierra
Cleveland Heights, OH - Sierra
My wife Lisa and I just took delivery on a 2020.5 Travato KL. We were happy that the staff took the time to guide us through the process being first timers. We did not know what we didn't KNOW (pure rookies). They walked us through the things we needed to know and did not treat us like just another number from their huge cadre of customers around the country. They even installed a Winegard Connect 2.0 while we had lunch and shopping around. The personalized orientation gave us the confidence to drive off the lot. Their facility is 1st class and clean and the staff very helpful as we wandered around clueless. I highly recommend Lichtsinn RV for you buying experience. Thanks y'all.
David and Lisa
Oro Valley, AZ - David from Tucson, AZ
We recently purchased a new Motorhome from Lichtsinn RV in Forest City and had a great experience. It was very evident they valued our business based on the attention we received, and how we were treated. Very professional staff. Everything they said they would do every step of the way, they did and there was nothing missed. This was our third Motorhome over the years and by far the best experience. When we returned home in Ohio, they followed up with us on more than one occasion to make sure everything was fine and see if we had any questions. From our experience, there are a lot of businesses who could learn a lot from Lichtsinn RV.
Bob and Karen
Delaware, OH - Bob
Amazing Staff, Professional team, very knowledgeable. Why would you even think about shopping anywhere else other than here, no matter where you live? I am in Nevada and after research, found Lichtsinn to be the best place to purchase. Make sure you check their video library for all the latest information on the equipment.
Tom
Las Vegas, NV

We researched for the best RV to fit our lifestyle and use and found it. We chose Lichtsinn RV based on their knowledge of our RV and their long standing reputation in the industry. This is our first RV purchase and we were very nervous. We traveled 1,000 miles to pick it up and all our stress went right out the Maxxfan when we were given a wonderful welcome. We joined all the wannabee FB groups and came with a list of everything we wanted to test. We were offered a 30amp hookup to stay as long as needed to test. We received a courtesy car to pick up any supplies needed. The walk through was great but we were also assigned our own technician for any problems or questions before we were ready to head home. Lichtsinn RV was a great decision for us, not just to purchase but for any future service. I might add that all the folks in Iowa we met are so friendly.
Lenny
Maryville, TN

As first time RVers, we were impressed with the staff and service at Lichtsinn RV. They were supportive and knowledgeable, quickly responding to our questions, offering instruction, and sharing tips and suggestions. They suggested equipment needs vs. trying to "sell" to us. Thank you to Abby, Brian, Justin, and Jeremy. We recommend Lichtsinn RV!
Pam and Chick
Wellington, FL - Chuck
Great experience from researching features of the 2020 View, to ordering, purchasing, and to delivery. Not only are they very knowledgeable, the entire staff made us feel like family.
Dwight
Knoxville, TN - Dwight
Professional, family friendly, and extremely responsive to all inquiries. From prospective buyer to satisfied customer, the entire Lichtsinn team thoroughly made the experience a wonderful memory. Absolutely recommend to others.
Nick
Salt Lake City, UT - Nick
Lichtsinn is the rare jewel in the RV world and a pure joy to work with. From my first phone call to them to the purchase of the RV and afterwards the help and support I have gotten from them has been second to none. Everyone I had the opportunity to meet there were kind and eager to help me in any way. Iowa is a long way from Texas but I'm glad I made the trip. It was well worth it.
Michael
Austin, TX - Michael
I generally do not write reviews, because I feel “good” service should be expected, and I don’t like to complain about poor service. However I am compelled to share my thoughts regarding Lichtsinn because the experienced was exemplary and overwhelming. I will never regret flying out to Iowa from Hartford, CT and purchasing my new 2019 View 24G from Lichtsinn RV! (Our first RV). My research into the RV world, first brought me to the spectacular Lichtsinn website, which is an incredible tool for anybody researching RV information. Clearly Ron Lichtsinn should be given credit for going above and beyond what most websites provide. The informative videos instructed me on all issues of RV life, and maintenance needs that will be useful no matter what direction I would have gone in. More importantly, if you review the entire website and read between the lines, it is clear that Ron & Hope Lichtsinn are special people, who truly care about their community and the people who work for them. They should be given credit for creating a community at Lichtsinn where caring customer service would thrive. Their employee’s obvious enjoyment at working for them comes through with every interaction a customer would have with apparently ALL employees at their business! In closing I only urge others to shop at Lichtsinn before making any RV purchase. You won’t regret it!

Easily the best RV dealership in the country. Not only is the entire team there superbly knowledgeable about the motorhomes they sell, but everyone is also just so amazingly nice and pleasant to work with!!! We drove all the way from Louisiana to purchase from Lichtsinn because they are just that good!!!

Purchased 2020 View 24D. I had a very pleasant experience. Our sales representative, Deanna Schutz, was very helpful and patience with my numerous questions and concerns. I am a first time RV owner. Pricing was fair and no hassle. Paid cash, so can't comment on their financing. Orientation was through and professional. Overall, I would buy from Lichtsinn again without giving it a second thought.

Team Lichtsinn assembled the single most positive major purchase transaction we have ever experienced. We probably have the single most-modified-by-the-dealer 2020 View on the planet, with 500w solar, 3000w inverter, 600ah lithium battery power, a smart phone power system controller app, along with levelers, Sumo springs, etc. The skill and craftsmanship of the electronics and instrumentation installs were similar to what I have seen on luxury yachts. From our sales Associate Abby, to Brian Buffington consulting on our customization options, to Brad Buffington handling the installations and walk-through, to Brandon on the paperwork and contracts, it was pure Stellar Service every step of the way. We flew in from Maryland, and drove our 20VV home without a hitch. Best decision we ever made!

On our US trip we were traveling in a conversion van. We had been looking at RVs for a few years. While on the road we saw a RV that was quite cute. We looked up the specs and decided to do further investigations and looked up a dealership. We were only 30 minutes off track heading to Lichtsinn - we contacted Abby about our van trade and we worked everything out over the phone via email. Quite easy. We arrived at the dealership and we were immediately greeted by the friendly staff. Abby really took the time and her patience was great since we looked over and over the RVs on the lot. We were happy with the trade and we ended up buying a new RV Winnebago View 24 ft. It’s adorable. While we were on serious time crunch the service department was able to install our add-one suggested by Jeremy. We purchase the WiFi boost and a few other minor items. Jeremy was great and most helpful when walking us through on our new purchase. He explained things in layman’s terms and gave us some helpful tips. Our experience was great and would recommend.

Thank You - Home Safely Ron, Reed, Justin, We wanted to thank you for the great experience and all of the work that you and your teams did when we took delivery of our new Winnebago View. You really live up to your advertising and that is a refreshing thing in today’s business world. Especially in the RV Sales and Service sector where too many businesses have no idea of good customer service and what building relationships is all about. So thank you for all you have done.

2019 Travato GL purchased from Lichtsinn RV three months ago. Experience was wonderful. I was given Nicole Follman as my sales person. She was great. I had researched for months. Nicole talked with me many times and was willing to spend as much time as I needed every time. Decision made. Flew up from Alabama and Lichtsinn had a driver pick me up at my hotel. Friday viewed unit and orientation. Great experience. Stayed weekend on lot to learn how the Travato GL worked. Monday parts and service helped me all day and a few problems from factory fixed. AFTER THE SALE. Now three months later... I have called Lichtsinn RV many times since this and asked for parts, service, and Nicole Follman. Every time, every department has answered and helped me, answered my questions, given advice and spent as much time as I needed on the phone. Since then I have received emails and phone calls from Nicole Follman. Even a few just seeing how things were going with me and my Travato. I was given a whole team to work with when I was ready to purchase my RV. They all have to be rated 10 out of 10. Up front pricing, no surprises, best deal overall, exact model I had picked out. While I was there I watched customers come and go,sales service, parts and everyone was given undivided attention and people came for service from many different states and talked to me about all there good service visits and most had purchased before from Lichtsinn RV. Love my new RV and great memories with Lichtsinn and Nicole Follman.

The Lichtsinn RV team was and still are great. I have called them and asked more questions and got great results. I found out I didn't get a tire hazard plan and Brandon got one for me late on a Friday afternoon. Justin called me back on a question I had. Ron Lichtsinn even spent a half hour answering questions helping me with my flat towed vehicle.
Six stars for a extra great job. See you this summer.

We could not be more pleased with the purchase of our new Vista from Nicole Follman and the rest of the Lichtsinn team. Everyone was a pleasure to work with. We had a lot of requirements and they met them all! We added a lot of aftermarket items, from multiple lithium batteries to mega solar panels to what we refer to as our DirecTV droid satellite dish and then some. It all works flawlessly. We read lots of reviews and watched lots of Ron Lichtsinn videos (multiple times) and thought it would be worth it to travel from Arizona to Iowa to buy our rig. Great decision on our part! Buying across state lines was a piece of cake! If you are concerned about that, don’t be. These folks know what they’re doing. Picked us up at the airport, gave us a car to drive while we were in town, even did some last minute additions the day before departure. Trust us, fly to Iowa and buy from Lichtsinn.

#1,Best deal we could find, and worth driving the 2000 mi from California for. What was the decisive factor was there honesty and trust that I felt dealing with them. Reed and the rest of the staff became instant friends! Wish we lived closer! We felt fully confident on their preparing us and any follow up we may have. By the way first time we’ve ever had a MH ( our 4th ) prepared so so well. We have no issues! Thanks to all the staff hope to make our rounds again. Special thanks to Reed and Kevin.

Wow, what can I say!? Super thrilled to be part of the Winnebago and Lichtsinn RV family! The initial contact, continued support, and friendly banter of Nicole made the buying experience a thrill! The attention to detail and follow-through provided by Kevin during the sometimes daunting financial process made it manageable and easy. The comprehensive orientation offered by Brad was super informative and his patience put me at ease as I asked many questions. Rhonda’s photography skills captured my good side, and brief, yet thoughtful introductions by Hannah, Justin, and the man himself, Ron, sealed the deal! THANK YOU Lichtsinn RV for making the drive from Ohio worth every penny!

We have just realized my lifelong dream of purchasing a travel buggy! As first time buyers, I felt safe and secure with our decision to put our trust in Lichtsinn. All staff we interacted with were helpful and knowledgable. It was no surprise the place was hopping! HUGE shout out to Brandon, the finance guy, he is simply brilliant, therefore relieving the pain of the arduous task of 'signing the papers'. The most interesting experience however, was in the waiting area where 3 groups of travelers were waiting for various warranty/repair services to be done on their vehicles. One of the couples had traveled 800 miles from LOVELAND, CO because Lichtsinn is the BEST dealer in the USA - and they were well seasoned and had visited all sea to shining seas. Without a doubt, that says is ALL.

Just bought a Revel 4x4 from Lichtsinn RV this summer. Very enjoyable experience for our first RV experience. Very knowledgeable and all questions were answered in a friendly manner. They genuinely want you to have a good experience when buying an RV. Nicole Blaser was fantastic and attentive to our specific needs. Travis in service very thorough in our walk thru. They know what they are doing and they take great pride in that. Especially if you are a newbie to RVs, they are the place to go.

After what seemed like a very long wait we picked up our new Revel on June 6th. Everything about our buying experience with the group at Lichtsinn RV - starting with Reed Burkholder in the sales department thru the orientation was fabulous. Everyone was friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable in every way. As we drove away with our new toy - for a five day drive back to California - we did so with smiles on our faces. We would highly recommend Lichtsinn to anyone interested in purchasing a RV - you won't be disappointed with the customer service.

During the purchase process I had many questions and possibly more than some buyers. Jason gave me plenty of time as I worked through the purchasing process. I spent time viewing many of your videos on your website which helped me decide on the model, options and accessories that we wanted. I found the videos to be very informative and the Navion orientation video that I watched a few times helped me understand many of the areas of our Navion before I took delivery of our coach. I am a type A person and if somebody said I was going to spend four hours at a orientation session on our Navion I would have thought that isn't going to happen. But, it did and the orientation was time well spent. Jesse did a nice job. All of the staff at Lichtsinn RV is very
friendly and helpful.

I’m not currently a customer or (guest) but wanted to take a minute to thank you for the wonderful videos that you and your team have produced. My wife and I bought a 2018 Travato 59K from a local dealer near our home here in San Jose California. I know, that doesn’t do much for you but you got us to drive to Gilroy California to look at the Travato in person after I saw it in your videos. Thank you.

These first-time RV'ers are preparing to hit the road now with the purchase of a new Winnebago Aspect 30j! After thinking about RVs for a few years and doing our homework, we knew we wanted a quality-built unit backed by Iowa-nice service. We found it at Lichtsinn RV in Forest City, IA. From Jason and Reed in sales to Ben who gave us the whirlwind tour to Kevin who helped us seal the deal and Hannah who answered questions for our first two days on the road, we've had an extraordinary experience!

As first time RV owners, we can't compare Lichtsinn RV to any other dealer, but I can say this. If car dealers were half as courteous and knowledgeable about their products as Lichtsinn RV was about theirs, it would make car buying a lot more pleasant. Reed was our salesman and was very courteous and helpful in introducing us to, and showing us around the Vista LX we purchased. The whole process went off smoothly. The young man that gave us the orientation was terrific and very practical in his explanation of the different systems and gave us excellent tips on maintenance. After the orientation, he helped us pick up a few basics that he knew we would need on our first outing. We were also introduced to Anders in service who was also most kind. Nice store, nice people, good deal. What more could you ask for? Thanks for all you did to make our first purchase a pleasant experience.

Everything met my expectations at Lichtsinn RV. Nicole Blaser arranged transportation from a major airport to the dealership for us along with sending educational videos from the website. The orientation for our new motorhome was excellent, we were not rushed and was very complete.
Brian
The Woodlands, TX - Brian from Spring, TX
Just back in Montana with my new Revel 44e. What attracted me to Lichtsinn RV was their low pressure, low hassle approach, and the educational material they have available online. All this proved to be the case. Their orientation is thorough, but for a first time RV owner I needed a second go through the next morning (in person), and a third one on their web site when home. A minor issue with a rattle in the slide door window was very quickly fixed. Everyone and everything, from sales to financial to service to pickup at airport to owner, was friendly, organized and essentially hassle free.

We drove 1500 miles to trade in our old RV for a new one because we felt we could trust Lichtsinn RV and get the best help and best deal from them after reading other reviews as well as comparing other dealerships close by, what they offered, and the reviews they got. We made the right choice; Lichtsinn was top notch in every way. No regrets. We would not hesitate to do it all over again with Lichtsinn if we had a need.
Gregg
Winthrop, WA - Gregg
From the moment we started searching for an RV we noticed something different about Lichtsinn. They excel in every category. I have watched all of the videos and learned everything I needed to know about RV life. It also made me informed enough to see the difference in other RV manufacturer's. We made our first road trip to Lichtsinn and then the competition. No comparison. We called Stacy back while still on the road from the last non- comparison and told her we were buying from her. Stacy is incredible to work with as are everyone at Lichtsinn. This is the most professional and fun company to work with. The day we showed up I saw Ron in his office and butted in as I watched so many videos I felt like I knew him. He greeted me by name which blew me away as I had never met him. He said they know all their customer family and proceeded to answer all my questions. They had our new 2018 Navion 24D ready and showed us everything in three hours. They said they would take all the time we needed and meant it. Thank all of you at Lichtsinn and especially Stacy who earned out trust from day one even when we told her we were checking out the competition. We knew there was no one we could trust more with such a significant purchase. Search all the competition you like but make sure you start here and I guarantee you will end up back here with the confidence you are buying the right RV from the right dealership.

My wife Christy and I met these folks at the Des Moines RV show. They had exactly what we were looking for and a price to match. We received great trade-in values which made the deal.

Phenomenal experience from the moment we drove into the Lichtsinn dealership lot until we pulled out in our new Navion 24D. We wanted one with factory paint--which meant placing an order. Lichtsinn (Stacy) kept us informed throughout the process. Brandon was superb in working up the paperwork, Brett did our walk through and answered all the questions--and Ron came by to congratulate us. We also had a Fiat 500 Abarth set up as our dinghy--Lichtsinn did all of the install on Blue Ox towing system --managed by Anders. All-in-all this has been the most pleasant experience we've had re: a vehicle purchase. The dealership made us feel like we are family.

We recently purchased a Winnebago Vista from Lichtsinn RV. We flew into Minneapolis and were met at the airport by staff and transported to Forest City. Nicole was a great salesperson to work with, from the time we first made the call to inquire up to the time we left for home in our new motor home. Mark provided an excellent orientation of the motor home, and willingly answered any questions we had. They really do a great job with customer service--the service manager stopped by with his card, and the owner made a connection with us before we left. Overall, they are a very customer orientated dealership, and I can see why people from all over the country purchases motor homes there. Everyone we met there was friendly and responsive to any questions we had.. We added a few small items which they installed promptly and we were ready to head for home in our new RV. We had a great 1100 mile trip home, and look forward to many memorable trips in our new Winnebago Vista. Thank you, Lichtsinn RV for everything!

My husband and I live in Texas and just purchased the new Horizon 40A. So many of our friends use Lichtsinn RV as their dealer and we decided to work with them on this purchase. We are so glad we did. From the minute we started working with them, the experience was a breeze. We drove our Winnebago View to Forest City to trade it in on the new coach. The team is very knowledgeable and efficient, Reed, Hannah, Anders, Brad, Luke, Lonnie and Brandon. Really a special organization that Ron Lichtsinn has put together. It was a great decision. - Tim
After months of looking at motorhomes at several dealerships, locally and out of state we purchased a 2018 Cambria 30J from Lichtsinn RV. Why? We were very hesitant about buying an RV so far from home. The Lichtsinn process was seamless from financing, picking me up at the airport, orientation of our new RV and finally driving away. Nicole Follman was very responsive to any questions asked and we never felt any pressure to purchase from them. The whole Lichtsinn Team treated me with respect as if they had known me for years. Nicole was extremely helpful, providing me a car, making sure I had some lunch and delaying the orientation. I would also like to say "thank you" to Jason, Brandon, Justin and Mr. Ron Lichtsinn . They just don't sell you an RV and say goodbye. Ron your business model is amazing and very customer driven. We are extremely happy to join the Lichtsinn family and hope to see you all at the WIT Rally. Thanks again!

We just purchased our first motorhome ever from Lichtsinn RV. We flew into Minneapolis and had a driver pick us up and drive us to the dealership. From the moment we were picked up until we pulled away the next morning, our experience was fantastic. It was a little nerve-wracking and a bit overwhelming with all the information coming at us but we managed. The best thing we did was drive it back to Oregon as it gave us an opportunity to really learn how everything works. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat. We love our new Navion 24D and can't wait for our next adventure. Lichtsinn RV was so easy to work with and I did everything via email. Quite amazing to think especially when making a purchase that big. Something to be said for small-town values as it has become a lost art in this crazy world.

Nicole Follman educated me on the product prior to purchase. This was a critical factor in my decision to purchase from Lichtsinn RV. Competitive pricing and negotiations were upfront, no hidden costs. The orientation on my Navion was outstanding, they gave me the education and confidence I needed to drive off the lot and feed my wanderlust.

We purchased a Forza 34T from Reed Burkholder in August 2017. Not only was he great to work with but the entire Lichtsinn team exceeded (and continue to exceed) our expectations! Due to Hurricane Harvey back in our hometown of Houston, we were stuck on the Lichtsinn lot for 7 days! They were super accommodating and even loaded our new RV up with food & clothing donations for us to take back to victims of the hurricane. The service department (Anders in particular) continues to be a tremendous help even after the sale. Ron Lichtsinn leads a class act company! If you are looking for a new or used RV you've found the right place!

This is an awesome dealership that is totally into making sure you get the right RV and then make sure they explain and demonstrate the vehicle and all it’s systems. But they also make sure they are easily accessible once you are down the road and have issues.
Nicole Lovik-Blaser, you are a great sales person and a wealth of knowledge. Anders, thanks for all the help in Service. Brandon, thank you for all the hard work getting us the best financing rate. Thank you to everyone we came in contact with, you were great and we are doing our best spreading the word that Lichtsinn RV is THE place to buy an RV.

I've been working with Justin Overland since we purchased our 2017 View, a year and a half ago. He is always pleasant and has taken care of every service need I've had including working with my insurance company on the damage caused by the hail storm.
My sister Nancy and her husband Ken just had their 2018 View in for some warranty work the other day and had the same experience with Justin.
This is the email I sent to Justin:
Thank you for taking such good care of my sister Nancy and her husband Ken the other day. We drove together to Laughlin, Nevada and hung out for a week with two of my brothers before they drove to Iowa.
I talked to her today and Nancy said you made sure all the repair items were fixed and everything was working when they left. She said your a great guy and it was a pleasant experience, their both pretty happy with how it turned out.
See you on the way back in the spring for the doors and Sumo springs.

We have been looking for a small, used class C motor home for over 5 years and have visited many dealerships in Arizona and around the Midwest and found Lichtsinn to be, hands down, the best experience we had shopping for our RV. Reed was very helpful in finding the exact vehicle we requested, Dan made getting the paperwork completed easy, and Brad gave us a very thorough and helpful orientation. If you live in the Midwest and are looking for a motor home this is a must stop, and if you live outside the area this dealership is well worth the trip! Thanks Lichtsinn RV - we are very happy RV'ers!
Vanessa
Minneapolis, MN - Vanessa from Scottsdale, AZ
I scheduled an appointment through Brian Buffington to have HWH Levelers installed on this unit. We arrived on September 28th for our appointment the following morning. The service team was ready to go early that day and we were provided a loaner car to see some of Forest City. This in itself was remarkable. Never have I experienced a dealership offering loaner vehicles for its customers. Additionally, the customer waiting room was fantastic, especially allowing pets to accompany their owners, but then again who owns who.
The motorhome was ready around 2:00pm and Luke the service technician went through the operation of the levelers. I appreciated his attention to detail even though I have had them on previous diesel coaches. By the way, they have worked flawlessly on our return trip home.
Again, Brian, Luke and the entire service team is to be commended on their professionalism and attention to the customer. In all my years of motorhome ownership, I have never had an experience as positive as this. I wish all RV dealerships took this positive approach to working with customers.
Thank you again for creating a business atmosphere that promotes such a positive experience for its customers.

Buying a motor home from Lichtsinn was a totally great experience. I was impressed that every one introduced themselves to us and treated us like family. All of our questions were answered promptly and, as the unit was used, the circumstances that caused it to be at Lichtsinn were fully disclosed. We were also shown new motor homes, and Jason spent all the time we needed to help us with our decision. Most of all, I was impressed with the total professionalism shown by the entire staff.

I can tell you I was more then a little nervous about buying a used motor home so far from home. But as it turns out it was a very nice experience. Everyone was a great help. The home went like a dream all the way back to Maine.Took us all week to make the trip home but we went all over the country going home. We haven`t done this in years. It was awesome . Reed you would have laughed our first night in the camp ground we stopped in we couldn`t remember how to put the slide out for the bed . We knew it was covered in the orientation . It took us about 20 mins realize if all else fails re the directions. We hope to come back your way next year. We will stop by and we will go to A&W rootbeer just up the road.
thanks Reed and the team. - Judy & Shirley, Bryant Pond, ME - Shirley from ME
I needed a replacement part for my Winnebago which my local dealer could not obtain. But Lichtsinn RV came through with flying colors. I am very satisfied with the service I received and am delighted that Winnebago partners with people and companies of this caliber. - Jack
What we really love is this very comfortable living space, large front window and especially those leveling jacks! Thanks to you and Reed for helping us with this purchase. We could have traded up almost anywhere in FL, but we trust you all at Lichtsinn's enough to drive cross country to make the trade in Iowa. Thanks for your help! - Pat
Like most: Great friendly customer service. We were early and greeted right away. Excellent website photos and video of the Vista. Nice new offices and service bays. - Brian
Thank you guys again for the incredible long distance purchase experience. We feel like we were treated like we purchased a million dollar motor home, and when the time comes to do just that we will be coming back to Lichtsinn Motors. - Mark
Thanks again David for helping me obtain a wiper motor for my Winnebago Adventurer 32H last week. You were kind enough to talk to my friend Kyle about the problem and figure out the part needed and actually had one in stock. We had checked with multiple Winnebago dealerships and several Camping World sites for the part to no avail. You sympathized with our situation of driving our RV without the benefit of wipers in the rain. When I talked to you, you were more than happy to ship the motor overnight to me in Nashville, our next scheduled stop. And when I called back to specify early morning delivery, you changed the shipping documents to meet my needs. And you did all this on a day when Iowa had received 11 inches of snow and even Winnebago had shut down!
Needless to say, we had the motor the next morning at about 8am. My son installed the motor and to our relief, we could depart for rain-soaked Talladega. We enjoyed our NASCAR race weekend knowing we would have wipers on our way home to Minnesota. Your gracious help really saved the day. Thank you for doing a great job!!
- Dan
I want to thank you guys for the prompt service in your parts department. I ordered a part for my Winnebago voyage and you sent it out in about a week. No one else could even tell me if the part existed...you guys are great. - Craig from CA
Your team is great... Bill is an awesome trainer and person. He was very patient and understanding, knowing that I am a newbie. Reed and Hannah make the process easy. Thanks again for you help. You should be very happy with your staff. - Les
We came in to just pick up a part and instead got a long-term problem repaired. Brad in service was efficient and helpful.
Ron asked Casey to set him up with R&D for a future Winnebago. She did! Not only did Ron talk to Troy in service but he also talked to Christopher in Via/Reyo R&D.
Your service staff has convinced us we will purchase from you in the future!
Thanks again for the personal touch! - Ron
Dorothy & I have owned motor homes for over 30 years. This is our fourth motor home, three of them Winnebago. This was our first dealing with Lichtsinn Motors. Your sales and technical staff performed well beyond our expectations. Other dealers have a tendency to unlock the motor home and disappear. Your staff stuck with us, answering questions, making us feel at home at your dealership. Nicole Follman made sure we did get to look at the four motor homes we mentioned to her prior to our visit. She was careful to ask the right questions, listen, and guide us enough so we made the right decision. Nicole wanted to make sure that if we purchased, we would be happy. She also called us later in the evening to answer any additional questions we had and to make sure we were comfortable. Your staff is one you can be very proud of. You're entire staff, Nicole, Casey, Hannah, Tim (Service Manager), and Jeff (Technician) all made sure we felt we were the most important people they had to deal with. Again, your staff is one you can be proud of. - Bill
I just wanted to thank you for your help in getting the problem with the home theatre in my Aspect fixed. Tim Olson did a fantastic job in following up with Samsung when the Canadian Winnebago dealers and the Canadian Samsung technical service would not help me. Tim had Samsung send out a new home theatre replacement unit and the costs were all covered under warranty, including the shipping. I installed the replacement unit myself and it all works great now. This kind of after-sales-service makes me very happy that I purchased my coach from Lichtsinn Motors. I will recommend you to anyone who asks about my Winnebago. - Clint
We never leave a dealer's name on our vehicle, however, we are proud to have the Lichtsinn Motors name on our coach. It's like a badge of excellence. - Doug
We just got the Scamp 5th wheel yesterday, and we love it! Nicole was a pleasure to deal with. She was very friendly, and so great about returning e-mails and phone calls promptly. We would definitely buy from you again if the opportunity arises. - Ron
"To Lichtisinn Motors and all the wonderful staff, Rick and I want to thank all the staff that we worked with during our recent RV purchase and overnight stay at Lichtisinn Motors. This is a 'Top Notch' operation like non other. Your web site is fantastic ! That is how we found our RV and flew in from California to purchase it in February 2012. We absolutely love it! We have since been to 8 states and just finished a California costal road trip... Thank you again for being people of Integrity. We appreciate all that you have done for us."
- Rick
I am an new owner of a 2002 Winnebago Sightseer. The seller pulled the leveling circuit panel and promised to send us the part. Six months later, we still did not have the part. My husband and I spent numerous hours trying to identify and locate the part from many companies such as PPL. We were very discouraged until we called David Straw. He has been outstanding and has provided services above and beyond call of duty!!!!! He was able to identify the part that was needed. He even contacted the seller with the information so that the seller could pay for the part. David then contacted us stating that the part was paid for by the seller and that it would be shipped on the next business day.
You now have a loyal costumer for all my RV needs. I just wish you were located in Houston.
Sincerely, your extremely happy customer

"Excellent communication! You have distinguished yourself by your attention to detail regarding communication before sale, during sale, after sale and delivery. The quick response to questions by phone, e-mail and your informative website gave us a level of confidence about purchasing our RV from a dealer 1,600 miles from our home. It was amazing actually. You anticipated our needs and met them. As customers, we are delighted!" - Tim
Like most: "Indeed, the individuals that made our purchase experience memorable are part of a high-character, high-performing team that functions in a very special work culture that pervades Lichtsinn Motors.....thank you to everyone at Lichtsinn Motors that had a part in making this remarkable experience." - Frank
Like most: "I can recommend your dealership to anyone, and I would buy from you again for sure if I needed a new Winnebago. Two things were important to me: Being as close to the factory as possible and a fair price....The treatment I received at your dealership was outstanding. The whole experience was well worth the 2,500-mile drive.
A couple months ago I had a chance to test your parts department when I needed a few parts for some minor modifications. Excellent service again. All genuine Winnebago parts for a reasonable price in a very short time. Thank you." - Marcel
Like most: "Delivered what promised, when promised and the price promised. Provided a professional walk-thru and answered all questions... Bill, in the service department, was ultra-professional and courteous. The sequence of events from pickup at the airport through the walk-thru, the move in and paperwork all seemed to be geared to our priorities and comfort." - Bill
"Buying experience was best seen to date in our 43 years of marriage and buying vehicles. Definitely worth the trip to Forest City and being able to put the first miles on the coach! Strong kudos to Ron Lichtsinn and his service and admin staff..." - Mike
Like most: "Your concern to details on the coach impressed us. You take immediate action to solve any problems you find...We would definitely recommend Lichtsinn Motors." - Ellen
"VERY pleased with everyone at Lichtsinn from Ron, to our salesperson Nicole, to Hannah. We would definitely drive the 1200 miles again to shop at Lichtsinn RV - ethical , professional, and considerate." - John
"We had been contemplating buying an RV for a couple years, and I was comfortable with the Lichtsinn team and their service. When we finally found something within our price range and available, and when we were ready, they made accommodations to welcome us even during their busy weekend when they had an exhibit show going. They didn't make it seem like it was any big deal, but they were great in actually wrapping up the deal when we were ready to purchase that same day, and they cleaned the vehicle, scheduled a walk-through, fixed a couple minor issues they themselves found and wanted to perfect, and processed all the paperwork. I'm looking forward to future business as we become more seasoned RV travelers!" - Chad
"Ron and the boys, (and girls) will impress you. You can stay right on his lot and/or roam the area for a few days to get the feel of the unit." - Bob
"Your email was so nice and so impressive! No other dealer or salesperson has contacted me like that, and I am shocked at your personal and professional approach!" - Jody
"I have never had a dealer treat me as well as the folks at Lichtsinn Motors...I can't imagine buying an RV anywhere again except at Lichtsinn." - Gary
"Being able to put the first 100 to 2000 miles on a new RV is important to my wife and me. Lichtsinn, only a mile or so away from the primary Winnebago factory, allows that to happen. Not only is that convenient, but Ron Lichtsinn and his sales and service staff bend over backwards to help you get the best price and meet your needs in a timely fashion. We felt we were their highest priority. They even arranged to pick us up at the airport in Minneapolis and shuttled us down to their facility. They have electrical hook-ups available allowing you to stay right on their facility grounds until you're ready to leave. Forest City and the surrounding area is a pleasant place to explore. In our opinion, RV dealerships don't come any better." - David
"I was an absolute beginner in this process of buying a motor home. At every point, dealing with the Lichtsinn staff was a pleasure. They were patient, answered my same anxious questions over and over and never lost their good humor. It was a pleasure to be well met at the airport, greeted on arrival, and gently introduced to all the complexities of MH management. Ron Lichtsinn stopped by to say 'hi' in the process. And, even better, their followup has been thoughtful and on target this is business well done, and a pleasure to deal with." - Jim
"I am long overdue in writing this review. If you are in the market for a motorhome, I highly recommend you check out Lichtsinn Motors. They have not lost sight of what Customer Service is all about like so many others have. They still know what it means! :) We worked with Casey to purchase our Winnebago Via 25R in May 2011. I can't say enough about what an awesome experience it was to work with her, she is a true gem. Since we are from Alaska the majority of the inital purchase process happened over the phone, email and internet but everyone I came in contanct with was incredibly accommodating and a pleasure to work with and made the transaction seamless. When we arrived to pick up our motorhome, the wonderful experience continued and we were greeted warmly and were treated very well. Casey was always there to make sure things were going smoothely and to keep us informed about what was next. Even the usually unpleasant proccess of the financing part was made painless by Hannah! :) And Brad, the technician who walked us through our new RV, spent 2+ hours with us going over everything we needed to know before we drove off the lot to make our journey of 3600 miles back to Alaska. He was incredibly patient and thorough. He never made us feel rushed and seemed happy to answer all the questions we had for him. His time and attention was invaluable! Their care and concern does not end as soon as you drive off the lot either. Casey continues to go above and beyond what anyone can expect. We are so lucky to have found Lichtsinn Motors and even though they are a long way from home, it was well worth the trip to make our purchase there. I have only mentioned 3 people individually, but every single person we come in contact with at Lichtsinn are just great. I can't imagine a better experience. This is the place to go! And by the way...the Winnebago VIA 25R is an amazing RV! We absolutely love ours." - Rene
"There is only one No. 1 Winnebago/Itasca dealer: Lichtsinn Motors. Despite living over 600 miles from the dealership, we were able to purchase a '12 Winnebago Adventurer mostly via phone and email. Casey provided information we asked for, and did not pressure us at all. She took care of all the details before delivery, and kept us informed as the coach was being built. I was equally impressed with owner Ron Lichtsinn. He was definitely not a "desk jockey" and kept busy doing things most owners would consider beneath them. When we observed his work ethic, we knew we had selected the right dealership. Financing was a breeze, taking only a few minutes to sign a few papers. We can't say enough good stuff about Brad who led the pre-delivery inspection. He was awesome! Brad was patient with us, answering all our questions, and taking time to explain the inner workings of some of the mechanical and electrical "stuff" that interested me as an engineer. And he spoke highly of Winnebago/Itasca (that may seem normal, but it is rare that a service tech thinks and speaks as highly of a product as did Brad), another sign that we had chosen correctly. From initial contact to working with the Parts Dept., we found Lichtsinn to be as advertised: the No. 1 Winnebago/Itasca dealership. I highly recommend them." - Donald
"I drove over 800 miles to deal with Lichtsinn motors for my new Winnebago Via. Everything about the coach exceeded my expectations and dealing with Jason and everone else there was a pleasure. They answered almost every question before I asked. They had everything possible done before I arrived and took all the time I needed to get familiar with everything. The best people I have ever dealt with. You won't find anyplace better to deal and most of them can't even come close.........Give them a call and you will see what I mean from the start... " - Wayne
"My wife and I were a little apprehensive dealing with an out of state dealer via the internet. But our experience was wonderful. The coach we picked out was exactly as advertised. Our sales person Jason was extremely helpful and patient with us during the process. They went out of their way to make it a great experience for us. And also, being from the NW we had our first trip built in bring it home! I would not hesitate to do business with them again." - Bob
"We are very pleased with everyone at Lichtsinn RV and had a great experience buying our new ERA. Ron (owner), Nicole (sales), and Hannah (business) were all very professional, helpful, and sincerely did everything they could to make our buying experience a positive event. We highly recommend you give Lichtsinn a strong, hard look if you're in the market for a Winnebago product." - Ronald
"We live in Alaska and bought a Winnebago 2012 VIEW 24M sight unseen. It was a factory promotional unit that had a few miles on it. Everything was straight forward and smooth. We flew into Minneapolis and were picked up by Bob or Bill, whom gave a great discertation on how Winnebago got started and the lay of the land in northern Iowa. Bob or Bill gave a great orientation of the unit. (I kept getting the two confused) We did have the air matteress, which is the main fold out bed, develop a slow leak the 1st night at the Lichtsinn camp area. The problem was quickly fixed with a new matterss the next morning. We toured the factory and got to see 1st hand the great quality of the Winnebago products. We immediately took the unit directly to San Diego to see out grandkids. We spent several nights at different camp sites and had several folks want to check out the View. This unit fits our Alaskan lifestyle to a "t". We had been traveling and camping in a truck camper for many years and this purchase is a big step-up for us. We hope to attend the annual ralley in Forest City one of these years." - Jon
We just purchased our 2012 Reyo from Lichtsinn RV and had a great time getting to know the friendly people of Forest City. Our sales consultant was knowledgeable, helpful, professional and fun! We also enjoyed working with Hannah during the purchase closing. Their help in getting our trade-in made making our stay in Forest City pleasant, easier and enjoyable was most appreciated. Look forward to seeing them again at the July Rally! - Jim
"I want to send a big thank you to Anders and the rest of the team who performed warranty work on my 2017 View 24g. I continue to be impressed with the professionalism and outstanding customer service. Problems happen and no one likes it when they do but poor service only makes things worse. Not the case here. Thanks team Lichtsinn! "
Peter from Rochester, MN
"Lichtsinn RV matched the price of another dealership. The orientation Brad provided was excellent, better than I have ever received in the past having owned other RVs. The friendliness of everyone at the dealership was memorable to my wife and I. "
Matt from Baltic, SD
"I appreciated the interaction with the owner, Ron Lichtsinn. Lichtsinn RV staff is knowledgeable and the dealership is very clean! "
Bruce from Sun City Center, FL
"The employees at Lichtsinn RV are very knowledgable and we were greeted by all employees. We appreiciated the prompt service and the convenience of having a courtesy vehicle. Lichtsinn RV team gets 5 stars from us! "
Jim and Kim from Chetek, WI
"Lichtsinn staff is outstanding and friendly! They offered a fair price and provided prompt repair service."
Bill and PJ Boklan from Port Saint Lucie, FL
"Stacy Anderson and the whole Lichtsinn team were fantastic. Whole pick up process was easy and customer service was great! I would definitely buy from them again."
Bryant from Sacramento, CA
"My wife and I drove from North Carolina to pick up our 2018 Winnebago View. The timely delivery process was handled by a professional staff. Last minute additions to our coach were taken care of promptly which allowed us to depart on schedule the next day. Being able to stay on site at the dealership is a big plus. I highly recommend checking them out."
Mark from Burlington, NC
"Some of the nicest, polite crew you will ever meet. The concerns we had were taken care of promptly and in a very professional manner. This is our second Motor Home, our 1st was an Itasca Navion in which we loved but we needed more room. Traded up to a Winnebago Sightseer 33C, we now love that. I'm 6' 4" tall so the queen bed fits perfect. From sales, to orientation, to maintenance desk, to the service department, 5 stars from us. I should tell you we bought this RV over the phone from just watching the videos, thanks Reed. We will return again and thanks for making our experience stress free."
Jim and Kim from Chetek, WI
"I can't believe how nice and helpful everyone was at Lichtsinn RV. What a beautiful location and you can spend the night there to check out your RV."
Marian from Richfield, MN
"I want to thank Nicole Blaser, Justin and Travis who were so helpful getting us the right RV and sending us down the road feeling knowledgeable and comfortable. We rented last year and Nicole was very helpful and caring when we had a small issue. We decide to buy an RV and began the search. After talking to tons and looking the internet up and down we determined a person we could trust was the best place to start. We called up Nicole, and yep........she is the best. Your guys from the shop put no pressure on as they educated us and took care of every detail. Great experience!"
Tim from Waterloo, IA
"We had the BEST buying experience ever. This is truly a customer oriented dealership. Our sales consultant Reed Burkholder was the finest sales professional we have EVER worked with-thorough, honest and professional in every respect. Every other member of the staff treated us as VIPs even though we were just normal customers. I have bought five RVs and that was the finest experience I have ever had. I drove over 800 miles to deal with Reed and his colleagues. It was worth every minute. Words fail me because I run out of superlatives when describing my experiences at this truly outstanding dealership."
Mary and Dick from Colorado Springs, CO
"Started with a Winnebago and went to another, so called, "higher quality" brand from another dealer...big mistake. For price and quality, you can't beat Lichtsinn and Winnebago. The sales, management, service, and parts staff are top notch. Lichtsinn made the buying experience very easy and stress free and exceeded my expectations!"
Kurt from LaPorte City, IA
"I recently purchased a Minnie Winnie 22M from Lichtsinn RV and it was a great experience! Special thanks to Jason S., Brandon, Luke, Justin and Hannah... as well as anyone else I may have interacted with when I was there... Everyone I met was knowledgeable, professional and very friendly. These guys put customer service first!"
Justin from Ten Mile, TN
"Stacy Anderson was fabulous! She kept in constant contact with us about our motor home, until the day that we came to pick it up. All of the staff--Dan, Luke, Jason and all the rest were of the highest quality in terms of their professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness. We were business owners, so we feel that we know what it takes to run a top-notch business; we have never been so impressed with a business, as we have with Lichtsinn--from start to finish. I'm originally from Forest City, and I am very proud that a business like Lichtsinn represents my home town so well. Thanks for everything!"
Alan and Julie from Brainerd, MN
"Awesome, awesome, awesome! Sweet people and good service. So glad we found you a year ago."
Sandy from Holmes Beach, FL
"Kudos to Lichtsinn RV. Cass and I started our deliberations with various Travato dealers in March. We were not sure we wanted to buy too far from our home in Michigan...service, being a concern. The Lichtsinn RV YouTube videos on all aspects of the vehicle we were looking at plus, the webinars offered kept pulling us towards Lichtsinn RV. No other dealer we found had that wealth of information available. Based on the professionalism of the dealership and the friendliness and competence of Stacy Anderson our sales person, we placed our order. The timing of the build went according to plan and we picked up our Travato K last week. We were totally impressed by the dealership and staff. The three hour vehicle walk-thru by Brad covered every aspect of the motorhome as he patiently answered all our questions. Thank you to Stacy and everyone at Lichtsinn RV. Our K is wonderful!!!"
Wes from Mount Clemens, MI
"I love my new Trend. Nicole Blaser and team made this transaction very easy. I was very impressed by the atmosphere when we went to pick up the RV. They make you feel like family. We drove from NC to Iowa due to the professionalism of Nicole and her talking me through the process of what RV would be right for me. It was a tough decision and I wanted to deal with a dealer who had a great reputation for not only sales but service as well. So glad I went with Lichtsinn RV. THANK YOU!"
Laurie from Mount Gilead, NC
"We could not be more pleased with our experience at Lichtsinn RV! The Lichtsinn team exemplified professionalism, friendliness and fairness. Reed our sales consultant stuck with us throughout the whole experience, finding solutions to our unique set of needs and engendering a high degree of trust. Brandon in the finance department worked with us regarding all issues arising from us being residents in a foreign country and solved any other issues that came about. Our service consultant Justin showed extreme patience and answered question after question with good humor. Mark, a service tech gave us an excellent, almost 4-hour orientation. Hannah, the sales manager set up a great tour of the Travato plant with her father. In addition, the staff treated us with kindness and warm smiles which went a long way to make purchasing an RV a pleasant experience. The Lichtsinn RV team is as good as the standards its leader sets!"
Bill and Sima from Chicago, IL
"Reed provided us with excellent customer service. Ben and Anders in the service department were very willing to explain the motorhome functions to us. Brandon in finance department was very thorough going through the paperwork and explaining extended warranty information. Overall experience at Lichtsinn RV was great!"
Dick and Barb Myrtle Point, OR
""Jason was very patient with us first time RV buyers! He provided constant and clear communication throughout the whole process. The service orientation and follow up was a huge benefit! Our guest experience was wonderful, we never felt unsure or uneasy. BRAVO!""
Mark and Teri from Waterloo, IA
"We could not ask for a better experience - Thank you!"
Don and Pat from Arvada, CO
"We just picked up our 2017 View 24g and are so glad we bought from Lichtsinn. This is our first RV and we have a lot to learn. Stacy and the entire staff made the whole process easy. Great deal, great service from great people!"
Peter from Rochester, MN
"A few weeks ago I purchased a 2018 59G Travato and I would like to express my appreciation by recognizing five employees. First, I need to say that if it wasn’t for Nicole Lovik-Blaser’s professionalism and patience I would had never purchased a Travato. Nicole was the playmaker and after several phone conversations she had me talk to Dan, in Finance on the phone. It was after one phone call with Dan that I determined he was really a knowledgeable man. Dan patiently worked through financing, insurance and warranty programs with me. Thus, after working with Nicole and Dan I decided to come from New Jersey to purchase my Travato from Lichtsinn RV in Iowa.
Upon my arrival I was picked up by a very friendly driver at the airport who made a two hour drive to Forest City seem like only 60 minutes. Next, I met Nicole who walked me to my Travato. Then she introduced me to her son, had me meet the Sales Manager Hannah Lunning, arranged for a courtesy car and gave me directions to the nearest hotel and restaurant. By the way, I had a great evening in Forest City and found the people to be very friendly.
The following morning I drove up to the dealership and saw my Travato out front. Nicole introduced me to Brett, a service technician. Brett gave me a two hour orientation and was very patient, knowledgeable and professional. Brett introduced me to Anders, my service consultant. Anders gave me his business card, answered some additional questions and informed me that he was my go-to guy if I ever had any problems or questions. Frankly, Anders made me feel comfortable knowing that I had someone to call. I then met with Nicole again and she brought me to Dan's office to finalize the purchase of my Travato. Nicole greeted me afterwards and congratulated me. After spending the night in your lot with other RV owners I headed back to NJ. A two day trip back home turned into three days since I wanted to break in my Travato correctly, not exceeding 60 miles per hour.
In closing, I commend Lichtsinn RV on their business program and their employees professionalism. Also, I would like to say thank you, to everyone who made my experience in purchasing my Travato. By the way, I named my Travato “KJ” after my kids, Kristin and Joseph. Also, I'm happy to report I am getting along well with KJ but KJ could never replace my kids who now live in North Carolina and Florida. However, I'm hoping KJ is going to make my trips to see them more enjoyable."
Gerry from Lincroft, NJ
"Lichtsinn RV is the BEST!....Jason Bruckhoff was so helpful and informative, the transaction was so smooth with the excellent staff. We traveled out to Iowa and had 2000 miles on the Era by the time we made it back to NC. A big thank you to Hannah Lunning, Dan Helgeson, Anders Bartleson, and Luke Hejlik."
Tipper from Beaufort, NC
"I am officially no longer a wannabee. I flew to Minneapolis last Tuesday (May 16th) and was shuttled to Forest City, Iowa by Larry. We were at Lichtsinn by 1:00pm. My tech was Brett and he did a very thorough job going over all of the systems. Of course, even with taking notes, I promptly forgot a lot. I got to spend time with Brandon Mondt (Business Manager aka the money guy) Hanna (not sure…maybe Nicole’s boss) and Anders Bartleson (Service Consultant) he was very helpful and will be my go-to-guy when I have a question. Lastly, I can’t say enough about Nicole Blaser. Nicole was so pleasant to deal with and always going the extra step to make sure everything was taken care of. I was rushing because Colorado was having a snow storm due in on Thursday night…that I forgot to take pics at Lichtsinn. Well, the snow storm came in early and hit while I was driving in. Have I said yet how much I love my G? As I was driving the screen, where the speedometer is, said icy roads. I looked and the temp outside was 37 and it was raining. As I laughed at the silly thing, there was suddenly 3 inches of ice on the road and multiple cars in ditches. Yes, one of Colorado’s hail/sleet storms. We made it just fine, thanks to the warning. Has anyone else had this happen? I think my Travato's name is Lucy…she’s a girl, red, and makes me smile...the name is still a work in progress..."
Lannie from Colorado Springs, CO
"Didn't buy a Winnebago from these fine folks...bought my 'dream come true' 27' International Serenity Airstream that just happened to be sitting on the lot the day I stopped by on a whim! Stacy was a delight to work with. Brandon started the ball rolling, but kudos also goes to my USBank banker who was fantastic in creatively financing a 'used' Airstream that didn't follow strict NADA pricing norms. Brian made sure I got the right weight distributing hitch and even helped install it...and finally, thanks to Travis for the thorough walkthrough and basics of RVing! It was, overall, an easy transaction...and a fairly unique one in that your typical sale does not involve a beautiful silver bullet. Thanks for helping me start my adventures...I'll stay in touch!"
Pamela from Mason City, IA
"Once again had a great service by my RV dealer in Forest City, Iowa Lichtsinn RV. If you're ever in the area stop by and see them, friendly staff always willing to answer your questions over the phone if there is something you can't figure out."
Jim and Glenda from Cottage Grove, MN
"Second time trading with Jason Bruckhoff and was just as easy as the first. Ron Iichtsinn has assembled a very professional and personalized staff. We found everyone to be pleasant, helpful, and honest. If we trade again, it will be with these people. "FACE REALITY AS IT IS" "BEST RV DEALER IN USA" "
Rick and Linda from Sedalia, MO
"Lichtsinn RV provided experienced and wonderful employees, comprehensive orientation for our new RV and a very organized business approach!"
Gil and Sandie from Franksville, WI
"Exceeded expectations in all respects! Certainly the most satisfying vehicle purchase ever. Ron Lichtsinn and the entire staff demonstrated their committment to customer (or "guest" as they say") satisfaction at every contact. From my first phone contact with salesman, Reed Burkholder, he set the tone of responsiveness, honesty, and service. Lichtsinn RV was in a whole different league from the dealers closer to home. I admit we did have some hesitation about flying 1/2 way across the US to pick up our Winnebago View and drive it back to Connecticut. We are so very happy we did.
The pricing was competitive and the service had been incredible. Everything was scheduled at our convenience and they accommodated some needed changes. After an early morning flight from New York, we were picked up at the airport and driven 2 hours back to Lichtsinn. Once there, Reed started the process for us. Brett Torkelson, a service tech, spent hours with us going thru the demo. After we finished the demo, we were able to park our new RV and plug in to on site power for our first night. We were given use of a courtesy car while our RV remained parked at Lichtsinn. The next day we had more questions and a few punch list items...all given prompt attention. Our Service Consultant, Justin Overland was consistently patient and helpful with our many questions and concerns. Overall, an awesome experience. Our appreciation to the fine folks at Lichtsinn RV for our happy entry in RV travels. (And a special note of appreciation to Ron Lichtsinn, who undoubtedly sets the standards of customer service and supports his staff in providing it.)"
Michael from Newtown, CT
"Our experience purchasing our Winnebago View 24J could not have gone any better. From the driver picking us up at the Minneapolis airport, signing the documents, the walk through, and our use of a courtesy vehicle while in Forest City. Everyone was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful! The dealership offices, store, and restroom are all very attractive and well maintained. Lichtsinn's support didn't end with our visit to Forest City as various members of their team have given us advice and guidance by phone and email. Two thumbs up and five stars for Lichtsinn RV. We're glad we made the trip to Iowa. We got a good deal and the people we met at Lichtsinn were uniformly great!"
David and Vicki from Sandy, UT
"When we started our search, I was sure that I would buy locally in NY, but after communicating with Stacy Anderson many times and understanding all the potential benefits of Lichtsinn we changed our mind. As promised by Stacy and Dan, the long distance transaction went very smooth.
We flew to Minneapolis and Lichtsinn driver picked us up and brought us to Lichtsinn and we were given a car to use while in the area. That afternoon Mark gave us a 3 1/2 hour orientation and was very patient answering all our questions. We stayed overnight the first night and became familiar with our new View motorhome before driving home. Before we left, Stacy setup a tour of the Winnebago factory which increased our belief in the quality of the motorhome.
We drove over 1,400 miles on the trip home, taking care to break in the Mercedes Diesel engine as directed. We had one issue with the stabilizer alarm and a quick call to the service department pointed me in the right direction to take care of the problem. (Thank You Brian)
Since being home we had a couple minor issues that Anders solved quickly.
Thank you to everyone at Lichtsinn for making this purchase a great experience."
Tom and Becky from Scotia, NY
"We live in Florida so we had plenty of dealers to choose from, but we soon discovered that the dealer for us was 1600 miles away! Lichtsinn RV's reputation is well deserved. From our first call, to Casey, until we drove away with our Winnebago View, our decision was confirmed. Casey guided us effortlessly through the whole process. We learned so much from our four hour orientation with Mark. We still have so much to learn. That's another reason why we feel very fortunate to be dealing with Lichtsinn RV. Since our journey back to Florida we have called Justin Overland, service consultant, many times. Like everyone we have met at Lichtsinn RV, he is extremely patient and very pleasant. Traveling is easy for us, knowing Justin, or another friend, is a call away! We have 6,000 miles on our coach....our miles. We left Iowa with 35 miles on our beautiful Winnebago View!"
Dave and Jennifer from Punta Gorda, FL
"Having traveled to the factory as we researched RV's, we decided on Winnebago vs other manufacturers. Our preference was then to order locally from Lichtsinn and handle the break-in driving ourselves. So glad we made this choice! This dealership sets a standard for professionalism and genuine concern for the customer. Stacy was gracious and helpful throughout the order and delivery process. Hannah, Dan, Anders, Brett and Justin were great while we were there...and Gary even kept us entertained on the ride from Minneapolis. Wish we were closer for future service needs."
Linda and Peter from Wyoming, MI
"After reading the reviews from previous customers, my husband, Lon knew this was the place we wanted to purchase our RV from. I can't even begin to tell you how they made us feel right at home. Like we were family. Each associate we spoke with was knowledgeable and went out of their way to support us. Special shout outs to Jason, Justin, Brandon, Chris, Brad, Abby, Lonnie and Anders. We look forward to returning for service and Winnebago Rally. To future customers make sure you go to the deli at Bill's and visit the YMCA. We love you guys!"
Lon and Pam from Corpus Christi, TX
""I had the good fortune of doing business with you all, buying my new Winnebago Vista LX 30T from your dealership in November. I hope you received my 'final' report and survey regarding my experience - certainly a 10 on the 10-point sat. scale for sure!
As I have become more familiar with my rig, and given I am 2,100 miles from Forest City, I have had to contact both my Sales Representative (Nicole Lovik-Blaser) and my Service Representative (Justin Overland) on a few occasions - both via phone and email. I cannot begin to tell you how helpful both of these good people have been to me. Of course with a new motor home there will be issues encountered, or items that I just plain forgot from my orientation. Justin has been extremely helpful in answering my many questions and helping me trouble-shoot issues from afar. And of course Nicole is always attentive and responsive whenever i need her help.
Just a quick aside - I was camping on the Central Coast in California a few weeks ago. A new neighbor pulls up in a fairly new Winnebago, and of course we get to talking. Small world - he bought his rig from you all last Fall. We both couldn't pass out the praise any faster for Lichtsinn RV and all the great people.
I am planning a couple BIG trips this year, and Forest City Iowa is definitely on my list. Although I have copied both Justin and Nicole with this email, I am sure you will find a way to pass along my thanks for all their help.
I will say this in closing: people frequently ask me why the heck would I go all the way to Iowa just to buy a motor home. When I explain the extraordinarily high level of satisfaction I have experienced with your staff they usually get it. Lichtsinn RV obviously knows how to do business! My very best regards to you and all the good folk there."
Paul from Granada Hills, CA
"On January 10th, my wife and I sealed the deal on our 2017 Travato 59K. Since this was our first RV, we had numerous questions even after doing research for several months. Our sales person, Jason Sprecher, did an excellent job of listening to our thoughts. He avoided the dreaded "pushiness" of some sales people. In addition, Jason demonstrated the patience of Job as we deliberated whether to purchase or not.
After we decided on the Travato 59K, we did the unthinkable and asked if we could possibly pick it up within a week. (We wanted to take it on our winter vacation to the Southwest.) The team at Lichtsinn did it! Dan, the loan arranger, found us financing and worked with our insurance person to get us set up. Did you know that owners are blessed with an orientation for up to four hours? Jason set that up for us. Because we were new, I think we may have taken more than four hours of technician time. Sorry...
After our orientation, we went to the business office and took care of all of the paperwork. Then, Lichtsinn was very kind to let us pull our van inside to load the Travato out of the snow storm that had set in during the day. Because we wanted to leave immediately on our trip, they allowed us to park our van in the back while we were gone.
So, a shout out to the friendly staff, the owner (Ron), Jason, Dan, our tech orientation person, and our American Family Ins. agent, Brett, from Northfield, MN. All of these individuals worked together to make our experience stress free and enjoyable. (And.. in case you are wondering, we are not related to any of these inviduals nor do we work for any of the businesses involved.) Oh, I almost forgot. Before we left, we were given the business card of a Lichtsinn service consultant assigned to us should we have any questions in the future!"
Paul and Mary from Kenyon, MN
"We took delivery of our 2017 Aspect on February 17, and we could not have been more pleased or impressed with our experience at Lichtsinn RV. We were thrilled to find we could look at the Aspect inside one of your large, warm bays on a cold, winter January day. Stacy Anderson assisted us that day - she was friendly and made us feel welcome, but even more importantly, we were impressed with her knowledge of the Aspect. Stacy remained in contact with us throughout the entire purchase process and answered all our questions with detail and patience.
We also had the opportunity to work with Hannah, Brandon, and Justin, and appreciated the way they handled their parts of the transaction, as well. And last, but not least, was Luke - we have one word for Luke: outstanding! His presentation during the orientation was great...he was thorough and knew everything about the Aspect...inside and out, and we very much appreciate the way in which he shared his knowledge with us. His previous experience with Winnebago Industries is serving him, and your dealership, very well!
There are several reasons Lichtsinn RV is such a successful Winnebago dealerhship: your staff and the leadership they obviously experience! We are highly impressed with your dealership, and your staff. Everyone was professional, friendly, and treated us as though we were the most important people they were dealing with that day.
Thank you...the words don't seem sufficient to express our sincere gratitude for all the things you are all doing so right! We are grateful for the experience of doing business with you. And, we would be remiss if we didn't mention the fact that we love our new Aspect and are anxious to see where she will take us next! Winnebago did a great job building the Aspect, and your staff did a great job preparing her for us! We look forward to traveling in our new Aspect for many years to come."
Larry and Paula from Yankton, SD
"I have the great good fortune to live 1.5 hours from Lichtsinn RV. I have been shopping for a small motorhome for many years and had the lichtsinn website bookmarked on my computer. None of the small motorhomes were quite the right thing until I stumbled on the Travato 59G. I purchased at Lichtsinn in December 2016 and they have always been great to work with at the shopping and sale. Now the after sale experience is even better, I just got an email from Justin that an alignment is recommended after 1000 miles. What a nice thought. Emailed my salesperson Nicole about a service appointment and Justin promptly called back and had it all set.up. easy peasy."
Tom and Sandy from Farmington, MN
"After two Travato 59G's in two years we decided to give the 59K a try. Ron Lichtsinn agreed to a fair price for a unit in their inventory so we didn't need to wait for an order. As professional an organization as you can ask for with great communication skills and processes. No question unanswered and many answered without need to ask. Everyone we dealt with - Ron, Heather, Ben, Brandon, Lonnie, and Anders - was on the top of their game. No pressure and smiles all around. A great purchase and delivery experience."
Greg and Donna from O Fallon, MO
"Jason S. was very attentive and helpful. He made sure we got back on the road ASAP to go home that cold windy day. Jason was overall excellent in the whole process. Dan had all of our paperwork lined up and ready for us to sign. Very efficient. Ben gave us a thorough technical instruction. Thanks Ben for being so patient with us. We had a lot of questions and you were very professional, kind and understanding."
Susan and Ramon from Urbandale, IA
"Stacy, Dan, Anders and the entire Lichtsinn staff are knowledgeable, friendly, prompt, and courteous. Our family has a history with Lichtsinn Motors and have found them to consistently provide excellent service. We will not hesitate to continue our business relationship with them in the future."
Bruce from Mapleton, MN
"Lichtsinn RV has been a parts resource for my 1994 Warrior. They provide great advice and service. Thanks for all the help and we'll be in contact again ... and I love the red shirt."
Frank from Madison, AL
"David Straw is an awesome parts guy. Bought many parts from them. Always willing to help and ship items."
Scott from Leonardtown, MD
"I bought a 99 Itasca sunrise three years ago to put my toe in the water to see if I like RVing. I don't know if I will ever buy a new motorhome, but would strongly consider buying from Lichtsinn. I have ordered several parts from their parts department. I always received courteous and very helpful service from them, despite the many stupid questions I asked as a novice RVer."
George from Jacksonville, FL
"Awesome buying experience with Lichtsinn. We are in Texas and everything went like clockwork. Great price, fair trade in value and no glitches when we picked up the new RV."
Margy from Pearland, TX
"Great place to buy your new RV! We flew to Iowa and bought ours for much less than we could have for the same vehicle in Albuquerque and then drove it home. They have excellent customer service and we toured the Winnebago factory while we were there. All in all a great experience."
Suzanne from Albuquerque, NM
"We are the proud owners of a new Winnebago Fuse 23A purchased from Lichtsinn on December 19, 2016. Our experience was wonderful from the very beginning. Nicole Follman, our sales consultant, listened carefully to our concerns and wishes. She even took photos of our Fuse and emailed them to us so we could be sure everything was cosmetically what we ordered. After we ordered the Fuse, Nicole kept us updated weekly on the completion/delivery date. It was nice to know that we hadn’t been forgotten about! David and our son flew to Minneapolis from Nashville, and a Lichtsinn driver took them to Forest City the next day. Our beautiful Fuse was waiting indoors on the cold winter morning. Service staff and other personnel introduced themselves and made them feel welcome.
The orientation was extensive, and we were impressed by the technician's knowledge and patience. We were even warmly greeted by a Winnebago manager. We purchased some extras which were quickly and professionally installed by the service staff. We were provided a space to spend the night in the Fuse and were given a car to use that evening. The experience from beginning to end was outstanding. We are sad that because we live in Knoxville, TN, we are too far away to have our service done by Lichtsinn in Iowa, but hope to visit them on one of our trips. We recommend them to anyone looking not only for a great deal on an RV, but also for outstanding service and professionalism. We can say with confidence that we experienced "southern hospitality" in the Midwest at Lichtsinn RV."
Patsy & David from Knoxville, TN
"Nicole Lovik-Blaser was very helpful when showing us the RV from the first time down there. She clarified a lot of things for us and if she wasn’t sure on a question, she checked right away and got back with us.
Everyone at Lichtsinn RV was just so very friendly and had such a wonderful sense of humor – Nicole, Ben (service technician) and Dan (finance)."
Max & Nina from Dakota, MN
"Our sales consultant Nicole Follman and the rest of the staff at Lichtsinn RV were professional in all areas – pre sale advice, communication regarding delivery schedule, travel arrangement, orientation and the closing process.
Lichtsinn RV was very welcoming, has a friendly staff and have a comfortable environment. They also furnished us with a car while we were there which was great."
David & Patsy from Knoxville, TN
"Our sales consultant Stacy Anderson responded quickly and accurately to questions we had about the coach we purchased and was up front with pricing. We gathered great info via videos on the Lichtsinn website."
Don & Linda from San Diego, CA
"I worked with Jason Sprecher in sales by phone for over 2 months and picked up my custom 2017 ERA on Tuesday before Christmas. Orientation (Luke), paperwork (Brandon & Hannah), Maintenance (Brian & Justin), and parts (Chris) were all eager to help with my delivery. Everything went smoothly and professionally. On my way home (925 miles), they even were happy to answer a few last minute questions which arose after I left Forest City. Lichtsinn is THE place to buy RVs."
David from Columbus, NC
"My sales consultant Nicole Follman and Lichtsinn RV got me exactly the unit I wanted out of all the myriad of options. She also worked with me on the additional customized options desired. Lichtsinn RV went above and beyond in a last minute non-standard vent change."
Bob from Mansfield, PA
"Lichtsinn RV takes care of their customers. We have been searching for an RV for 2 years and have been to numerous dealerships. Lichtsinn RV is second to none. Our orientation was very informative and well presented. Our sales consultant Nicole Follman was great to work with! Her follow-up emails were refreshing and she stayed in touch with us even after the sell (A+)."
Mario from Swansea, IL
"I arrived to pick up my new Travato 59G late in the day, but the staff at Lichtsinn were wonderful as they assisted me in getting through orientation/inspection, financing and departure in a fast, efficient, thorough and friendly manner. The RV was immaculate and prepped perfectly. I'd like to thank Reed Burkholder (my sales consultant), Gary Compston (the driver who picked me up in Minneapolis), Hannah Lunning and Heidi Thompson for meeting with me, Ben Follman for the great orientation, Anders Bartleson for offering his Service assistance and Dan Helgeson for the no-pain paperwork and financing. It was a wonderful experience with professional staff that I don't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a new or used RV purchase. My only regret is that I couldn't hang around longer (was trying to beat the snow and cold back to the Northwest)!"
Roger from West Richland, WA
"Our sales consultant Nicole Lovik-Blaser provided the terms of contract upfront and they did not change. Within a few hours, we had the additional equipment Installed we requested. Lichtsinn RV also provided us with a loaner car and RV parking/electricity hookup for our trade in. Thank you."
Mary & Ben from Las Vegas, NV
"Barb and I want to thank Nicole and Hannah for the great buying experience we had with Lichtsinn RV. This was our first RV purchase and we didn't know what to expect but we were pleased with the process. Everyone was friendly, professional and helpful along the way. Thank you Lichtsinn RV for making this a good experience."
Brian & Barb from Plymouth, MN
"We ordered a new 2017 VIEW from Lichtsinn in September and took delivery recently. Wow, what a pleasant buying experience. Since we live 1200 miles away, all pre-delivery communication and paperwork was done via phone and internet. Hannah in the business office and Nicole in sales made the process very painless. We were updated weekly on the status of our order and the delivery date.
The customer service is outstanding. We were warmly greeted upon arrival at the dealership and everything from the paperwork to the walk-thru and orientation of the VIEW went very smoothly. Our unit was as clean as a whistle inside and outside when we first saw it. We just can't say enough about how professional and caring everyone is at Lichtsinn. For us it was well worth the 1200 mile drive. Being able to camp overnight at the dealership was a big plus for us. And I liked being able to do the engine break-in myself on our way home."
Gary & Judy from Salisbury, NC
"Lichtsinn RV deserves all 5 stars plus more. We have had everything from tents to diesel pusher over the years and have dealt with many sales/ service folks. All of our contacts within the Lichtsinn organization were positive experiences. It doesn't matter where you live your not too far away to deal with Lichtsinn."
Buster & Sondra from Grandbury, TX
"This is the third coach we have bought from Lichtsinn RV since 2011. Each experience has been wonderful! Every employee goes above and beyond to be courteous and helpful! Ron Lichtsinn treats you as a friend as well as a customer! We highly recommend this dealership and the people to work with! Thanks Lichtsinn RV!
Jerry & Beverly from St. Louis, MO
"Our salesman Reed, financing advisor Hannah, service rep Anders, service technician Brett and Owner Ron all greeted us like a homecoming - "Welcome Home!". During our stay at the dealership we were given a loaner car which was very helpful."
"We had an excellent orientation with Brett. He was very patient with our newbie questions and was thorough when going over the details of our new RV."
Janet and Rachel from Davis, IL
"What a pleasure to work with Reed and all the other staff that helped with the delivery of our new Winnebago Journey. No high pressure sales tactics, and all issues we found were taken care of while we were staying at the beautiful Lichtsinn facility."
Larry from Frederick, MD
"Thanks to Reed Burkholder and the staff at Lichtsinn RV. I purchased my first RV in June 2016 as I needed a place to live while building a new home. Reed and everyone made it such a wonderful experience, that I decided I wanted a newer and smaller RV to use for pleasure. So Reed offered up several options so I had a nice array to chose from and I traded my 1999 Itasca Sunrise to a 2012 Winnebago Via 25Q. As a first time RV owner, I had my questions and concerns, but The Lichtinns staff answered everyone of them and made me feel a valued part their family. So thanks again, Reed, Heidi, Dan, Justin, Anders and Brett!!"
Michele from Spicer, MN
"I picked up a Travato 59K a week ago. My experience with Lichtsinn was excellent. The RV was lugged in and ready for me when got there. I planned to stay there 2 nights but ended up staying 3 only because I asked for the sink to be replaced - it had a small rust spot on it. Picky I know but they didn't give me a hard time and replaced it in half a day. The orientation took several hours and was also excellent. I asked as many questions as I needed to and they were all answered patiently. Similarly later my assigned Tech Support rep also answered all questions patientlyly. I am very happy with my sales and support experience so far at Lichtsinn."
Barbara from Newark, CA
"Customer Service at Lichtsinn is very well executed in sales, service, finance and all other facets. This is a dealer that understands that the customer comes first -- and that that will result in successful sales. The friendly people are a bonus!
We look forward to a continued service relationship with Lichtsinn RV! "
Mike and Carolyn from Des Moines, IA
"Thank you to Ron, Hannah, Brad, Justin and the whole crew at Lichtsinn RV. The staff was attentive, had great attitudes. It was a pleasent experience."
Pat from DeWitt, IA
"Nicole Follman provided: Great customer service was very quick to respond to questions. Our orientation video and walk through were terrific. Also, no high pressure sales."
Mike and Brenda from Rollingstone, MN
"Our View was exactly what was promised. Our coach was ready on time with all of the extras installed. Your performance was perfect."
David from Layton, UT
"Jason Sprecher was extremely responsive to all of my questions and was very informative. The incredible videos and the beautiful clean building were very impressive."
Ellen from Osawatomie, KS
"This is my third RV purchase is almost twenty years.....that being said; I can't begin to express how great the folks at Lichtsinn are! From the sales, business, and service departments....in one word they are "GREAT". Needless to say they blow everyone else out of the water with pricing....plus by taking delivery in Forest City I was able to break-in my new coach. Thier facility in Forest City is world class. Give them a call...you won't be disappointed. This is the first and only dealership that I've ever been able to praise. "
George from Astoria, OR
"The folks at Litchsinn RV were awesome! I’m so happy with my RV and the buying experience. I have not had any troubles with my used RV so I do not know about thee service dept, but from what I’ve experienced so far I have no worries. Thank you Reed, Dan and Mark. Happy trails! "
Vincent from Litchfield, NH
"All of the personnel that we came in contact with were extremely knowledgeable! Nicole Lovik-Blaser, Hannah and our guide giving us our orientation.
The driver from the airport was very friendly and more than willing to go out of his way to show us around.
We are so pleased with Lichtsinn Rv. They go out of their way to give you the best service possible. We took advantage of staying on their property to get accustomed with all aspects of our RV. They helped us so much with everything.
Thank you so much! "
Jean and Mark from San Angelo, TX
"We appreciate the cost of the RV and the locations close proximity to Winnebago. We did not like the idea of someone else driving our new RV over 1,000 miles to our location while towing their return vehicle.
Since arriving in Forest City, everyone we have come into contact with here at Lichtsinn RV (sales, service, finance) has been very helpful.
They also encourage future contact for any questions/issues we may have. "
Joan and Paul from Pensacola, FL
"Our new Travato is our 4th small Winnebago. We made plans in March get it at the rally, but a whole bunch of problems came up and the staff just kept in touch to change our delivery. We have always been satisfied with the service we get at Lichtsinn and we'll probably get another Travato in 2 years."
Elsa from El Monte, CA
"From the first day we walked in to Lichtsinn RV, we received excellent service and attention from their staff. Reed Burkholder discussed several options with us and after searching for many months, we finally found the Winnebago best for our family. Reed walked us through the process of ordering the RV and kept us informed with frequent emails over the summer as we anticipated its completion. It was a smooth process with many friendly faces and support along the way. We are pleased to have a Winnebago built in Iowa. We received great care from Reed and the entire staff at Lichtsinn RV. Thank you!"
Angie from West Des Moines, IA
"Our experience started with Casey Singelstad. We can't say enough about her! What a professional, intelligent, and pleasant person. While in Florida, Casey and I spent many hours communicating by phone, email and texting. Casey is very patient and answered all questions we had. We both left with a hug and picture with Casey and our new coach!
For our walk-through, we had Mark Delzer. Mark spent hours explaining our new coach to us. We are new at this type of camping. Mark was also very patient and informative. Again, we feel fortunate to have had his help. Like Casey, Mark made us feel very comfortable.
Then there is Justin Overland. As you know, there is an enormous amount of information! We enjoyed Justin's relaxed and friendly attitude. Like the rest of your staff, Justin made us feel very comfortable while answering are many questions. Justin always has the time to help everyone. In fact I just called him the other day with a small problem. He makes a person feel that you could call him anytime. "
Dave and Jennifer from Punta Gorda, FL
"From Reed to Hannah to Joshua to Luke to Chris – everyone we’ve talked to, even those not directly involved in our sale – have been superb.."
Rick and Gwin from Oklahoma City, OK
"We've been pulling a travel trailer for years and wanted to simplify our travels so started looking at smaller motor homes with a specific eye on Winnebagos. We traveled from Missouri to Lichtsinn because we heard they were one of the best to deal with and could always be counted on for helpful service. We met Nichole Follman and she took the time to let us go through almost every unit on the lot - -which is a lot!! We finally decided we didn't want to invest in a new motorhome but would consider buying a used one if the opportunity arose. Nicole was quick to call us when a 2014 25 B Minnie Winne came in for a trade. She knew the owners and thought this might be just the rig to get us started in a motor home. She did the video tour and actually gave it a test drive for me. When we arrived to pick it up it looked like a new one and they were quick to take care of a few minor issues when we did the final inspection. It was a real pleasure working with Nicole, Dan , Brett (the service guy) and Mr. Anderson at the parts counter. I'd recommend Lichtsinn to anyone looking for a Winnebago. By the way we just got back from our first 1800 mile trip in our 25B and we couldn't be happier - -it's really simplified our camping and touring experience.."
George from Meadville, MO
"Lichtsinn RV sets the bar for all other Winnebago dealers. I have never dealt with any organization that is 110% customer oriented! Our 2017 Forza 34T is the second motorhome we have purchased from them, both during GNR. Each time all the staff excelled in trying to meet our needs. Nicole Follman and Justin Overland went out of their way to solve all of our problems in a very timely manner. I wouldn't even consider any other dealer for my Winnebago purchase, even though they are 570 miles away!."
Darrell from Bartlesville, OK
"Today and from day one on the telephone - your customer service, in all departments has been outstanding! Dan in Finance, Jason in Sales, Luke and Jason in Service were professional, pleasant, accommodating and went beyond all good standards to excellence! The orientation was so, so appreciated, so thorough and it more than highlighted how every minute detail of the Winnebago View is well-engineered. The little touches you make are refreshing and touching. Mainly though, we felt your strong commitment to integrity."
Rae from Odessa, TX
"We have been RV'ers for 22 years and our new Travato 59G is our 5th unit. I did a lot of research online to find the best place to buy from. My local dealer does not stock or sell Travato's so they were not very receptive to me. All of my searches kept pointing me to Lichtsinn as the top Winnebago dealer to deal with in the country. Once I sent an email, the process began. From the first reply I got, everyone I talked to or dealt with has been totally professional. Definitely a different RV dealer experience than any I have had before. They factory ordered my unit and made the process seamless for me. I was updated weekly and given a delivery and orientation date early on in the process so that I could make my travel arrangements. They even picked me up from the Minneapolis airport. The delivery process was flawless and I really appreciated being able to camp at the dealership the first night. Our salesperson was Nicole Lovik-Blaser, and she did an awesome job making me feel very special and like an old family friend. She even arranged a tour of the lake Mills plant for me, where Travato's and Era's are made. My experience with Lichtsinn could not have been better. It is the nicest and most professionally run RV dealership I have ever visited. I am so impressed by Ron and his entire staff. I hope to make it to the Grand National Rally next year and in coming years. I will definitely always swing by Lichtsinn to say hello to everyone.."
Pat from Daphne, AL
"The sales and technician staff at Lichtsinn RV were so helpful to us as first-time-RV buyers. We traveled there to research our purchase for many reasons. The exact motor home we wanted was available there. The one-on-one training and complimentary overnight trial run right on Lichtsinn's property was a benefit that we highly valued. The next morning the technicians added follow-up support to the fulsome training we received the previous day to respond to question after our one night experience. But something I have valued beyond those things that one could say you should expect upon the purchase of a motor home, is the patient and expert responses to my questions that have come during or after a new travel experience. They also helped link us to local experts & service providers for our Era. I am proud to be a Lichtsinn customer and recommend them to others. Special thanks go to Reed Burkholder and the technicians who have helped this newcomer to the RV way of life. We are now ready to head out on our first cross country jaunt.."
Nancy from Ames, IA
"Purchasing an RV at Lichtsinn was a superb experience throughout every context, and within all aspects, of the purchasing process. Nicole was a knowledgable, caring, patient and responsive sales counselor with answers, factory rapport and without ever exerting pressure. Then upon delivery every member of their business, parts and service team were attentive, seasoned professionals. This dealership's clear and present team approach is truly first class in every respect, including offering an impressive physical ambience that is unsurpassed, not only as an exemplar within the RV industry, but I believe in greater automotive industry as a whole. Plus, I found there to be exceptional value, by paying no more for this level of seasoned, first class attention, ... from 1st phone contact to a "all-smiles" drive-away in our new View, ... and now to after-the-sale support and service.."
Dan and Pam from Loudon, TN
"We appreciate the cost of the RV and the locations close proximity to Winnebago. We did not like the idea of someone else driving our new RV over 1,000 miles to our location while towing their return vehicle.

They also encourage future contact for any questions/issues that we may have.."
Joan & Paul Pensacola, FL
"We have over 30,000 happy miles on our Itasca Nation iQ. We get lots of comments on its layout and appearance, build quality. When anyone asked where or how to get an RV I always tell them, “Hey, get in touch with Ron at Lichtsinn out in Forest City, Iowa. They’re just a mile from the Winnebago factory, and I guarantee they will treat you right.” I tell them the story about how when I flew out in 2007 to pick up our first RV [a Winnebago View], I was staying in the RV on your lot for the night. There was a tornado watch that night, and you came back into town and gave me your phone number to call should the winds get too nasty, and you would come fetch me back to your home. That kind of caring is quite uncommon anywhere else.
I also share my experience calling your service/parts folks when I needed a part on the road, and how it was express shipped to me overnight. You folks are simply the best. We plan a trip west in the next year or so, and we have Forest City and Lichtsinn RV on our itinerary. Our Navion has been all over Maritime Canada, down to Miami and back, with assorted side trips. I trust your knowledgeable, cordial approach to helping customers is being rewarded in your heart as well as your successful company."
Tom from Guilford, Connecticut
"The entire operation works hard to provide excellent customer service. They are accustomed to working with customers remotely and they communicate regularly to provide updates which is nice. Hannah, the Business Manager, was amazingly helpful in assisting with financing. Hannah also made sure that all of the many loan closing steps were accomplished so that we closed on time. It was so nice to be able to email and phone actual people who wanted to help us accomplish our RV dreams. A special thanks to Reed and to the service department for helping us to figure out what features we needed. Would never buy a RV anywhere else!."
Amy from Las Vegas, Nevada
"My wife and I were shopping for a Class B van to replace our Truck Camper and had narrowed our choices down to a Travato 59G or 59K, all via online reviews and the Travato group on Facebook (a great resource, by the way). After a really bad experience with a local Winnebago dealer here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we decided to give Lichtsinn a try since no dealers anywhere near us had inventory to show us. The salesperson assigned to us, Nicole Lovik-Blaser, was extremely patient and helpful in answering the many questions we had. Tape measure in hand, she spent well over 90 minutes giving us a detailed "video tour" of he coach over the Internet (as the former CTO for a technology company, I was impressed with their creative use of technology. Every time we had a question, we got a response almost immediately. We ended up purchasing a 2016 Travato 59K they had in inventory, which they also retrofitted with some of new features from the 2017 model year, which was a great help, saving us both time and money compared to waiting on a new 2017 model from the factory. When the "K" was ready for delivery, they picked me up at the airport (for a reasonable $100 fee) and then spent the better part of the day on orientation with the coach, which was thorough and professional. I did run into a small problem during the trip home which required a return to the dealer, but their service team resolved the problem quickly and to my complete satisfaction. Though I had to fly more than halfway across the country and drive back, I can heartily recommend the team at Lichtsinn RV for their product knowledge, professionalism and overall friendly and responsive customer service."
Vince and Lori from Novato, CA
"This is an awesome dealership!!!!!. My sales consultant Reed Burkholder was so patient and knowledgeable in answering my many questions as a first time buyer. The entire staff from sales, administration, service, orientation to parts dept were so friendly. I purchased a used 1999 Itasca. The day I picked up the RV, I was given the same 5 star treatment as the other people picking up their brand new RVs. I stayed and camped overnight so I could asked questions the next morning. Very pleasant stay. I would recommend this dealership to anyone wanting to purchase an RV. If you spend a few hours in the dealership and visit with other customers, you can see why people come from all over to purchase RVs from this dealer. Thanks again everyone at Lichtsinn RV!!!!!!"

"What a fabulous experience we had with Lichtsinn for the purchase of our new Navion. We had some unusual timing factors with the delivery, but the staff handled all of them in a professional and caring manner. Everyone from management, sales, office, and service was willing to go the extra mile to make this go smoothly. Thanks to Ron, Jason, Dan, Anders, and Mark. They are the reason this dealership is at the top."
John & Deb - Tualatin, OR
"The entire process of trading our Vista for a larger more grand kind friendly Vista went very well. Jason S. kept me in the loop on the arriving trade and I bought it sight-un-seen because of the reputation Lichtsinn R.V. has and having communicated with Jason previously. When I arrived at Lichtsinn for my appointment everything went well. Everyone involved with the purchasing process were professional and easy to work with."

"Once again, I am indebted to David Straw, (RV Parts) of your company. We discovered on Friday, May 27th, that our rear air conditioner had gone out. The local RV Dealer said they would need 10-12 days to get the part needed to fix it. On Saturday morning, I sent out a "help" e-mail detailing my problem. I did not expect to hear anything back until sometime Tuesday, Monday being a holiday. To my surprise, I heard back from David. He found the part and e-mailed me back during a holiday weekend that you had it in stock. First thing Tuesday, I called him and ordered the part. It was overnighted to me, and my air conditioner was up and running by Wednesday afternoon. This is great customer service."
Jerry - Cape Coral, Florida
"Recently I discovered that I had lost the cap to my oil filler tube on my Winnebago. I contacted Winnebago and they told me I have would have to go to Ford to get a new one. At first, I got the same answer from Lichtsinn. But when I explained that I was traveling, was far from home, and would have great difficulty in locating a Ford dealership, David Straw (in the Parts Department) stepped up to the plate. He took it on himself to contact the local Ford dealer up there, got the part and shipped it out to my granddaughter’s home. I picked it up yesterday and installed it today. This is why Lichtsinn RV is so popular with us Winnie owners. Only wish more dealers were this good!"
Jerry - Cape Coral, Florida
Our salesman Reed and the entire staff at Lichtsinn are first class. This is the 5th Winnebago we have owned and the buying experience was wonderful! Thank you so much for the great time.

We took delivery of our 2016 Nation 24J in May, 2015. Last week, May 9th, I returned to your dealership to resolve warranty items before our first year of ownership was up.
I could not have had a better experience! Your service department did a great job in addressing our warranty issues. Justin Overland, and the tech in the shop, performed at 100%. While I had a long list, some 12 to 14 issues, many were minor items that did not effect our ability to use the coach. Several, did require a fair amount of time to repair. The coach was in the shop all day Monday and two more hours on Tuesday.
The end results were better than I could have hoped for! During an inspection of the motor home, a seal on the roof, was found to be defective and was repaired (I didn’t know I had a problem). Justin expedited a “purchase order” with HWH and saved us $500+ on leveling jacks we had installed later in the week.
All and all, we will be back. See you down the road. Thanks! "

I bought a Winnebago View from Lichtsinn earlier this year. I live in CT and I traveled all the way to Iowa to buy from Lichtsinn. It is a long way to go for an RV that I could have bought here in CT. Let me tell you why I traveled so far to buy this RV. I started my search for an RV a few years back and in the process came across Lichtsinn via their wonderful YouTube video series; if you have not seen it, go find it. I looked at RV's locally and in a radius of about 150 miles from my home. I found a number of dealers that I could have bought from. One of the dealers I caught telling lies, one I found myself telling them what the features of the RV were, one just did not return my calls, and one did not seem like they could handle the solar install that I wanted from the dealer at the time of purchase. In the end, the choice was pretty simple; I could buy locally and get worse service, or travel to Iowa and do better. I chose the latter. Lichtsinn did not let me down. From the first day I contacted them, till today a month after the sale, they are there with me; fair, honest, and knowledgeable. They lead me through the process of selecting features and making an order, made my wife and I feel at home when we arrived, helped us understand the RV's complexities both at the time of delivery, and beyond, and I believe truly cared that we are happy with this major purchase. If you are buying a Winnebago you should seriously consider buying from the experts at Lichtsinn, no matter where you are located. It will be worth the trip to get the quality of service and expertise of Lichtsinn RV. If I ever buy another RV, I will be coming back to Lichtsinn. I recommend Lichtsinn 100%!
Robert and Sharon
Stayed two nights at Lichtsinn lot. Very enjoyable experience. Reed and all the rest of the Lichtsinn staff were extremely helpful, nice and very competent. Explained everything about our View and answered all our questions. We have never felt so trusting and well cared for by an rv dealer. Quite an amazing organization. Highest quality everything - motor homes, facility, staff and customer service. Love our new rig. It is in phenomenal condition and includes a 60 day warranty!
Steve and Margaret
Thank you guys again for the incredible long distance purchase experience. We feel like we were treated like we purchased a million dollar motor home, and when the time comes to do just that we will be coming back to Lichtsinn Motors.
Mark and Kelli
"There is only one No. 1 Winnebago/Itasca dealer: Lichtsinn Motors. Despite living over 600 miles from the dealership, we were able to purchase a '12 Winnebago Adventurer mostly via phone and email. Casey provided information we asked for, and did not pressure us at all. She took care of all the details before delivery, and kept us informed as the coach was being built. I was equally impressed with owner Ron Lichtsinn. He was definitely not a "desk jockey" and kept busy doing things most owners would consider beneath them. When we observed his work ethic, we knew we had selected the right dealership. Financing was a breeze, taking only a few minutes to sign a few papers. We can't say enough good stuff about Brad who led the pre-delivery inspection. He was awesome! Brad was patient with us, answering all our questions, and taking time to explain the inner workings of some of the mechanical and electrical "stuff" that interested me as an engineer. And he spoke highly of Winnebago/Itasca (that may seem normal, but it is rare that a service tech thinks and speaks as highly of a product as did Brad), another sign that we had chosen correctly. From initial contact to working with the Parts Dept., we found Lichtsinn to be as advertised: the No. 1 Winnebago/Itasca dealership. I highly recommend them."
Donald
"VERY pleased with everyone at Lichtsinn from Ron, to our salesperson Nicole, to Hannah. We would definitely drive the 1200 miles again to shop at Lichtsinn RV - ethical , professional, and considerate."
John Topping
Your team is great... Bill is an awesome trainer and person. He was very patient and understanding, knowing that I am a newbie. Reed and Hannah make the process easy. Thanks again for you help. You should be very happy with your staff.
Les
"I was an absolute beginner in this process of buying a motor home. At every point, dealing with the Lichtsinn staff was a pleasure. They were patient, answered my same anxious questions over and over and never lost their good humor. It was a pleasure to be well met at the airport, greeted on arrival, and gently introduced to all the complexities of MH management. Ron Lichtsinn stopped by to say 'hi' in the process. And, even better, their followup has been thoughtful and on target this is business well done, and a pleasure to deal with."
Jim
"Delivered what promised, when promised and the price promised. Provided a professional walk-thru and answered all questions... Bill, in the service department, was ultra-professional and courteous. The sequence of events from pickup at the airport through the walk-thru, the move in and paperwork all seemed to be geared to our priorities and comfort."
Bill & Cheryl
"Indeed, the individuals that made our purchase experience memorable are part of a high-character, high-performing team that functions in a very special work culture that pervades Lichtsinn Motors.....thank you to everyone at Lichtsinn Motors that had a part in making this remarkable experience."
Frank & Patricia
We just got the Scamp 5th wheel yesterday, and we love it! Nicole was a pleasure to deal with. She was very friendly, and so great about returning e-mails and phone calls promptly. We would definitely buy from you again if the opportunity arises.
Ron & Lisa
"Ron and the boys, (and girls) will impress you. You can stay right on his lot and/or roam the area for a few days to get the feel of the unit."
Bob from Kansas
Dorothy & I have owned motor homes for over 30 years. This is our fourth motor home, three of them Winnebago. This was our first dealing with Lichtsinn Motors. Your sales and technical staff performed well beyond our expectations. Other dealers have a tendency to unlock the motor home and disappear. Your staff stuck with us, answering questions, making us feel at home at your dealership. Nicole Follman made sure we did get to look at the four motor homes we mentioned to her prior to our visit. She was careful to ask the right questions, listen, and guide us enough so we made the right decision. Nicole wanted to make sure that if we purchased, we would be happy. She also called us later in the evening to answer any additional questions we had and to make sure we were comfortable. Your staff is one you can be very proud of. You're entire staff, Nicole, Casey, Hannah, Tim (Service Manager), and Jeff (Technician) all made sure we felt we were the most important people they had to deal with. Again, your staff is one you can be proud of.
Bill & Dorothy
"The 'factory deliveries' are done through Lichtsinn RV, the Winnebago/Itasca dealership that is about a mile down the road from the Winnebago factory. Lichtsinn does the PDI and you can stay there overnight to get the feel for the motorhome.
Lichtsinn and Winnebago are totally customer service oriented so you won't leave Forest City dissatisfied. I've never heard a complaint from anyone who took their factory delivery at Lichtsinn."

"These days it's rare to get such great service, especially when it comes to an RV!
Even though I purchased my 2014 Itasca Sunstar in Texas while I was living there, I've since moved to Colorado Springs and I've been looking for a place to order some parts.
Lichtsinn Motors not only provides an awesome parts website, but your personal follow up and your efforts in expediting some parts that I needed ASAP has confirmed for me that Lichtsinn RV is THE PLACE to get any Itasca/Winnebago parts. My only regret is that I don't live near Forest City so that I could use Lichtsinn Motors for all of my service as well."
Jeff from Colorado Springs, Colorado
"Our dealer was Lichtsinn RV. Winnebago does not do delivery. We really like Lichtsinn RV for a number of reasons and would purchase another unit from them.
We went back for a some warranty work. There was a leak around the hydraulic pump (leveling jacks) that I likely could have fixed but decided there could be a big downside if I stripped a connection while trying to tighten. While there the tech thought the jacks were making too much noise, the Lippert rep came over from the factory and concurred.
There were no jacks in the parts stock so Winnebago took the out of the production line. Jacks were replaced the next day and we were on the road.
Lichtsinn RV treated us like family. Winnebago is a star. We are totally pleased."
Gordon and Janet on iRV2.com Forum
"Lichtsinn RV is about your only option. They are fine folks as others have said. We just picked up our new coach from them last week, and were able to have a very good walk through with the tech who was able to explain every little detail to us.
They did find a few minor problems during the PDI, and went out of their way to make sure that all was right before we left."
Chris McVetty on iRV2.com Forum
"Carol & I want to express our sincere appreciation for your going to bat for us with Winnebago on the furnace/pump compartment design issue on our 2015 Journey 40R. I know it would not have been favorably resolved without your personal intervention. When I was there to pick up our 40R, I said to a customer who had just purchased a new unit (I think a Navion) and doing orientation (I think with Brad), 'we have owned 8 Class A Motorhomes & Lichtsinn RV has provided by far the most user friendly service of any Dealer from whom we have purchased.'
Brad & Ben are incredible people persons who diligently pursue the goal of complete customer satisfaction. They are real professionals. You are fortunate to have them and they are privileged to work for an employer who is locked in to supporting their efforts to please customers.
Casey, Jason and Hannah all know that good service was a primary factor in our purchase of the first 2015 Journey 40R 'off the line' at Winnebago.
As customers, we really appreciate that cooperation between service department & supportive owner management.
It also confirms my research regarding Winnebago as the original and now the best manufacturer of Motorhomes in the industry."
Larry from Colorado
"Feel free to quote me that I regret that I bought from another dealer in the West instead of from you. You know your product and offer great service!"
Kimberly from Montana
"I needed a part to repair my motorhome and Chris Anderson in your parts department when beyond the call of duty to help me. He didn't stop calling and searching until he found what I needed. Be proud to have people like Chris working for you. Thanks so much."
Don Schacher
"As for the coach - we LOVE it and feel like we have stepped into a brand new coach! Reed did a great job for us keeping us informed what was happening. Dan did an excellent job explaining all the paperwork and the warranty information. We had questions and he had answers for every question! I was also pleased that Winnebago also included time on a warranty as I didn't think they would do that. Brad - he's the BEST and went over all the systems on the coach since there are some that are new to us. He spent a lot of time with us and we appreciated his expertise. We are really into check lists and maintenance and will follow the advice of your techs and also the Winnebago books.
When we get the survey from Winnebago we will complete it with the glowing comments because you and your staff did a GREAT job!"
Nancy and Paul from Florida
"Thank you very much. We have enjoyed watching your video clips and viewing your website for quite some time. Since I have been active in computer data communication since the 1980s it is refreshing to see someone who really understands and uses this media as it can be used to maximum effect.
In this regard I felt your organization deserves to benefit from a job excellently done. Our road to complete the purchase process of the Navion was a long one. Without the excellent support we received from Nicole we would never have had the confidence to purchase an RV.
The survey from Winnebago has not arrived as yet. I can state that Ben was excellent in his walk around and extremely thorough. There was four points of understanding that had been conveyed to me incorrectly by others which he illuminated for me very well.
In general I typically withhold maximum scores on surveys. When I get the survey from Winnebago, I will give you maximum scores in all categories.
Feel free to quote me, contact me, or ask anything of me in conveying the excellence of our experience. Our entire trip, the first to the Mid-West, has been pleasant, relaxing, and rewarding.
We thank you, very much."
Steve from Maryland
"From the first phone call to the last training session our experience with the people at Lichtsinn Motors could not have been better. Jason arranged everything from receiving our three boxes of supplies to sending Lannie to pick us up at the Minneapolis airport. Our training session with Brad was well planned; we learned a lot about our coach and had fun thanks to his terrific sense of humor. The option to stay on-site with electric hook up and the use of a car the first night went way beyond our expectations. There was even fuel and water in their respective tanks!
We purchased the Winnebago View 24V and the Mercedes drives like a dream - easier and better than our Mercedes SUV. We like purchasing a RV with only 22 miles on it rather than the "new" ones on the west coast with 2,800 miles....and we really are getting 17-18 mpg!!! Plenty of storage, beautiful refrigerator, exceptionally comfortable driver/passenger seats, and a great shower.
Thanks again Winnebago plus Jason, Ron, Hannah and Brad of Lichtsinn Motors in Forest City, Iowa."
Diana and Lonny in Jefferson, Oregon
"Recently as we were finishing a long trip thru the Rockies and plains we were in Iowa and discovered a water leak from the left wheel well area.
Since we were planning on going near Forest City, IA anyway I called Lichtsinn Motors. It was Friday afternoon. Tim the service manager there worked us in for first thing Monday AM, even though they were booked for two weeks ahead.
As I was checking the vehicle in, he asked if there were any other things we wanted checked since it was still under warranty. I gave him several minor items but told him they only mattered if he had time to get to them. The water leak was the most important.
They gave us a courtesy car, allowed us to stay there all weekend, and fixed everything on the list by noon Monday.
Thanks Lichtsinn!"

"I needed a replacement part for my Winnebago which my local dealer could not obtain. There were problems but Lichtsinn Motors came through with flying colors. I am very satisfied with their service, especially the efforts of Lonnie Fox, and am delighted that Winnebago partners with people and companies of this caliber."
Respectfully, Jack Moulton
"We never leave a dealer's name on our vehicle, however, we are proud to have the Lichtsinn Motors name on our coach. It's like a badge of excellence."
Doug & Jennifer from Missouri
"Wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the great customer service your Parts Department provides. I do not buy to many things so not a big customer but I am always treated with friendly and helpful service. We have very active Yahoo User Groups for the View-Navion and everyone is always complementary of Lichtsinn RV, whether is it Sales, Parts, or Service, you standout above the other dealers.
Anyway, very nice dealing with the Parts Department today. Dave took my order and made it a pleasant experience once again."

"I just can't say enough about Casey! She competently answered our questions on everything from technical issues to decor. She was pleasant and fun throughout the process, and we just think the world of her. We feel through Casey we negotiated a good deal on this great motor home. Casey continuously kept us up to date regarding the progress of our coach and its delivery date, and communicated promptly to us all the details we needed to know in order to complete the transaction. She even called us this evening around dinner time to see how our trip was going. I don't know how she came to you, but hang on to her!"
Val & Brenda
"By your professionalism in handling our situation you have really brough 'humaness' to your business and also brought forth excellent future sales by putting your customer's needs first."
Mick & Norma Steele
"I just wanted to take a minute to say how impressed I am with your operation and the service department in particular.
Understand that I go out of my way to have work done at your service department. The dealer that I bought my coach from is only 15 miles from my house, but I refuse to take my coach there anymore...so I drive my coach 120 miles to Lichtsinn to have it worked on. I consider it to be a minor inconvenience for the good service. Just wanted to let you know that I'm a very satisfied customer."
Bill from Rosemount, Minnesota
"Just wanted to send a note of thanks...We had wonderful cooperation from all employees. Casey was very honest and easy and polite to demonstrate [the] RV and answer our questions. Also Bradley was very knowledgeable and easy to follow in our orientation of our RV. He demonstrated very good leadership and frirendly atmosphere - good service."
Roger & Dorothy Hill of Leland, Iowa
"Just took delivery of my 2011 Winnebago Vista from Lichtsinn last week. Living in Florida I shopped the local dealers, but they could not compete with the integrity, service and professionalism Ron and his staff demonstrated at every step. Just a wonderful experience."
Guido on iRV2.com Forum
"David, once again you have impressed me with your tenacity to find answers to my somewhat bizarre questions. I now carry your name and number with me in our motor home. The next time a fellow traveler ask me, where do you think I can get a...I will honestly be able to give them the best possible source! Thanks again.

"I especially want to thank you Nicole for all your hard work on my behalf and for putting up with my endless e-mails, phone calls and nagging. Also, thank you to Bill and Hannah for making the delivery swift and complete. Your dealership efforts have not gone unrecognized and just about everybody in my contact list will hear the story."

"The staff at Forest City was wonderful. I have never had a dealer treat me as well as the folks at Lichtsinn Motors...I can't imagine buying an RV anywhere again except at Lichtsinn."
Gary & Janice Stone from Austin, Texas
"Excellent communication! You have distinguished yourself by your attention to detail regarding communication before sale, during sale, after sale and delivery. The quick response to questions by phone, e-mail and your informative website gave us a level of confidence about purchasing our RV from a dealer 1,600 miles from our home. It was amazing actually. You anticipated our needs and met them. As customers, we are delighted!"

John from Texas | Loyal User of Lichtsinn.com
"As a business leader, I know you know the acronym ROI stands for Return on Investment. However, sitting on Customer side of the desk, I look for different ROIs: Relationships, Opportunities, and Improvements. In every single case throughout our three day visit to Lichtsinn Motors, Jason, Amanda, Mike, and Brad worked with Jo Anna and me consistently and enthusiastically building ROIs. Personal examples include: Jason's guidance to help get us from four models down to two and then his leadership to understand when our relationship needed time alone inside both the Via and Profile in order to reach a final "family-driven" decision."
Len and Jo Anna from Idaho | Proud Owners of a 2010 Itasca Reyo

"We decided to go with a new one [rv part] and the cheapest actually was Lichtsinn Motors in Iowa..I guess they are right next door to the Winnebago factory. They shipped one out yesterday and I should get it tomorrow. I have the unit pulled out so we just have to be without water until tomorrow."
Bill from Wisconsin
"I can recommend your dealership to anyone, and I would buy from you again for sure if I needed a new Winnebago. Two things were important to me: Being as close to the factory as possible and a fair price....The treatment I received at your dealership was outstanding. The whole experience was well worth the 2,500-mile drive.
A couple months ago I had a chance to test your parts department when I needed a few parts for some minor modifications. Excellent service again. All genuine Winnebago parts for a reasonable price in a very short time. Thank you."

"Lonnie Fox in your RV parts department deserves a pat on the back for a job well done. I was having problems with my Winnebago and locally no one seemed to have any idea of what to do to even repair it including find the correct part. After a wrong part arrived, I did not make myself clear as to what I needed, Lonnie expedited the return and had the appropriate correct part drop shipped overnight so the repairs could be made."
