Winnebago Industries was announced as the winner of the 2009 Caravan and Camping Industry Association NSW for Best Manufacturer - Motorhomes and Campervans at a gala awards dinner held recently at Cypress Lakes Resort in the Hunter Valley.
In accepting the award on behalf of Winnebago, Ben Binns, Winnebago’s Chief Operating Officer said it was pleasing to be able to accept the award on behalf of the Management and Staff of Winnebago. ”The whole team put in a fantastic effort in what was a fairly difficult year” said Mr Binns.
Two NSW Winnebago dealers, Australian Motorhomes and Sydney RV Centre were also recognised for environmental excellence with Geoff Bithrey from Australian Motorhomes at Bennetts Green near Newcastle accepting the coveted 2009 Excellence in Environmental Innovation award and the Bronze Gumnut award for achievement whilst Jeremy Pearce of Sydney RV Narrabeen accepted the Bronze Gumnut Award for environment achievement.
The award for Best Manufacturer - Motorhomes and Campervans, received by Winnebago for the second year in a row is recognition of the professionalism applied and level of detail found at every level of manufacture, ensuring the delivery of a quality motorhome to the marketplace, one that will serve its owner for many years.
Each Winnebago is handcrafted by the highly trained staff using quality materials throughout. The floor walls and roof of each Winnebago motorhome consist of a fully welded metal frame to provide strength and rigidity, fully insulated to dampen road noise and moderating internal temperatures to a comfortable level. Further, the floor is lined with galvanised metal for unique under body protection against road debris.
Winnebago’s commitment to the environment was also considered by the judges. Winnebago consulted extensively with local environmental groups and local government to achieve practical environmental outcomes and the introduction of energy efficient lighting, ground water capture tanks, electronic roof ventilation, native plants and thoughtful waste recycling are just a few of the measures adopted.
