Escapees Member News- Escapees' Input Creates Winnebago Design!

Escapees RV Club is proud to announce a new facet to our partnership with Winnebago that will help shape the future of RVs. Introducing the Winnebago RV Experience Council (REC). Escapees members know their RVs inside and out, making them an ideal resource for learning about the customer experience of owning and living in an RV. Winnebago has a long history of introducing new, innovative vehicles. To keep those traditions alive, Winnebago is forming a select group of Escapees members to help them develop the next wave of Winnebago vehicles.

We would like to invite you to join the REC. Members of the REC will have an opportunity to participate in a broader range of research activities (e.g., interviews, online discussion groups, prototype testing, etc.) that directly influence our new product development.

Your feedback and information will be kept strictly confidential. If you change your mind later about participating in certain types of research, you will have the opportunity to opt-out at any time. If you are interested in joining the REC, please complete the survey in order to move into the Winnebago RV Experience Council.

In June 2018, Winnebago joined us for Escapade in Sedalia, Missouri. They brought with them interactive mock-ups for evaluation by attendees. From storage to electrical outlets, no detail was missed by participants!

Winnebago took their copious notes back to Iowa and got to work. Features including file storage, space for a printer, and modularity were incorporated as their team applied the feedback in creating a workspace that could accommodate multiple users at a time. The new mock-up was much improved over the two brought to Sedalia thanks to the thoughtful input. This redesign was shared with additional customer groups and dealers.

Ultimately, your feedback helped Winnebago create a floor plan influenced by RVers which offers options not seen in any other RV!
