This Problem Across All Years
The 59G travato bedframe (zomi) weld broke while laying on the bed resulting in us falling off the bed. Could of been much worse. Others in Facebook groups and forums have had the same issue with beds breaking at the same weld which is at the end of the bed. Contacted Winnebago and they said nothing they can do. Case:00432260

May 24,2025 as we were driving, the awning completely deployed out causing us to quickly drive on a safer lane to the side to avoid any risk to other drivers. This is definitely a safety risk for travel that can put ourselves and others at harm or crash collision. There were no prior warning whatsoever on our dash board or driver console at all during this incident.

Upon leaving our campground on the morning of 11/30/2023 we were driving out on paved campground exit road at about 10MPH when Carefree awning on our 2022 Winnebago Travato suddenly and without warning fully extended in an uncontrolled fashion. We pulled over immediately and determined how to manually retract the awning with a socket wrench. Upon manually retracting the awning it was still not secured and reeled completely out again. We repeated the manual retraction and this time secured the awning by tying nylon straps around both ends of the awning. It is also worth noting that power switch to the awning was OFF when this occurred. This awning had the previous recall completed (22V696000) Have since learned there is a new recall (23V627000) It appears to me this failure is mechanical in nature and not electrical or software. It also seems that Carefree /Winnebago should instruct all owners of these awnings to not only not use them, but to also secure them with straps or zip ties. An awning should not be able to completely deploy while in motion without any user inputs and the unit being in an electrical off position. There is a home security video on a Facebook Travato users group that captures the exact nature of the awning uncontrolled extension we experienced (only difference is we were driving)
