Winnebago Industries to Receive 10th Consecutive RVDA Quality Circle Award; Only RV Company To Receive Award for Entire Decade

FOREST CITY, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 17, 2005--Winnebago Industries, Inc. (NYSE:WGO), the nation's leading motor home manufacturer, received notification that the Company will once again receive the prestigious Quality Circle Award from the Recreation Vehicle Dealers' Association (RVDA) at the 43rd Annual National RV Trade Show in Louisville, KY on November 28, 2005.

Winnebago Industries is the only recreation vehicle (RV) manufacturer to receive the Quality Circle Award every year since its inception a decade ago and the only company among the five top-selling motor home manufacturers to receive the award this year.

“We are extremely proud to receive the Quality Circle Award this year, and particularly proud to be the only manufacturer to receive this award each year for the past decade”

Quality Circle Award winners are determined by the Dealer Satisfaction Index (DSI) survey, which RVDA conducts annually with its dealer organization. The DSI survey asks its members to rate their manufacturers' performance in four categories: sales, product, management and service/warranty/support.

"We are extremely proud to receive the Quality Circle Award this year, and particularly proud to be the only manufacturer to receive this award each year for the past decade," said Winnebago Industries Chairman and CEO Bruce Hertzke. "We consider the DSI survey to be a critical measurement tool for the quality of our products, our sales and service programs and our manufacturing processes. The survey provides us with an important annual benchmark that shows how our dealer partners perceive the quality of Winnebago Industries products and services. On behalf of the Company, I'd like to thank each of our dealer partners for their continued confidence in Winnebago Industries. I'd also like to thank our employees for their diligence to ensure that every Winnebago Industries motor home, program and service provided is of the highest quality. It is our continued goal to have the most innovative and highest quality products, services and support for both our dealer partners and retail customers."
