Winnebago Man

"Winnebago Man"

The “Winnebago Man” is an angry, profanity using RV salesman. The YouTube video that I watched was a collection of clips from the original 1988 ad for Winnebago RVs. The clips consist of the salesman having a meltdown while filming the ad. 

Years later in 2009, filmmaker Ben Steinbauer tracked down The Winnebago Man finding him living in a mountain top unaware of his viral fame. Steinbauer produced a movie all about the “The World's Angriest RV Salesman” including the original viral clips. In research for the movie, Steinbauer also spoke with the filming crew of the original clips "who describe the awful working conditions and their star’s incredibly poor attitude, the key factor that led to the group’s decision to capture and then compile Rebney’s outbursts and hand them over to their bosses at Winnebago. (The decision got Rebney fired.)"
