Can I take pictures while on the tour?

Can I see a specific model/unit being produced?

We do mixed-model production, so we can’t predict what models you’ll see during factory tours.

Only full tours are available. Once the tour starts, you must remain with the group for the entire tour.

Are restrooms available during the tour?

Yes, public restrooms are available during the tour but we encourage utilizing the bathroom at our Corporate office prior to leaving for the factory tour. 

Where do I go for a factory tour?

Do you offer tours for large groups?

To schedule a large group tour (more than 8 people), please call 574-825-5250, ext 8027.

Do you offer factory tours on weekends or holidays?

Because we conduct tours during actual production hours, we do not offer factory tours on weekends or holidays.

Can my factory tour be canceled?

Yes. Although we take every precaution to make sure that doesn’t happen, occasionally tours can be canceled with little notice. Changing production schedules means not all factory complex areas are always in full operation. Pre-registering helps ensure you are informed of cancellations in a timely manner.

Will I be able to see inside different Winnebago models while visiting the factory?

For the safety of our visitors, we are unable to view model interiors while in the factory. To schedule a walk-through of a specific model, please contact your nearest Winnebago dealer.
