Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation The "Company," "we," "our" and "us" are used interchangeably to refer to Winnebago Industries, Inc. and its subsidiary, Winnebago of Indiana, LLC, as appropriate in the context. We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Iowa on February 12, 1958 and adopted our present name on February 28, 1961. Our executive offices are located at 605 West Crystal Lake Road in Forest City, Iowa. Our telephone number is (641) 585-3535; our website is www.winnebagoind.com. Our common stock trades on the NYSE under the symbol “WGO”. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of March 2, 2013 and the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows for the first six months of Fiscal 2013 and 2012. The consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the first six months of Fiscal 2013 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet data as of August 25, 2012 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 25, 2012. Fiscal Period We follow a 52-/53-week fiscal year, ending the last Saturday in August. Fiscal 2013 is a 53-week fiscal year; the first quarter ending December 1, 2012 was a 14-week quarter, and the six months ending March 2, 2013 had 27 weeks. Fiscal 2012 was a 52-week year; the first quarter ending November 26, 2011 was a 13-week quarter, and the six months ending February 25, 2012 had 26 weeks. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which revised the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. Specifically, the new guidance requires an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. While the new guidance changed the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 (our Fiscal 2013). We adopted this guidance as of August 26, 2012, and have presented total comprehensive income in our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which simplified the manner in which entities test goodwill for impairment. After assessment of certain qualitative factors, if it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, entities must perform a quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative test becomes optional. ASU 2011-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 (our Fiscal 2013). We do not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which expands the presentation of changes in AOCI. The new guidance requires an entity to disaggregate the total change of each component of other comprehensive income either on the face of the net income statement or as a separate disclosure in the notes. ASU 2013-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012 (our Fiscal 2014). We do not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Concentration Risk	6 Months Ended
Concentration Risk	Mar. 02, 2013
Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Concentration Risk Disclosure	Concentration Risk One of our dealer organizations accounted for 26.2% and 25.7% of our consolidated net revenue for the first six months of Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, respectively. A second dealer organization, accounted for 13.4% and 7.7% of our consolidated net revenue for the first six months of Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, respectively. The loss of these dealer organizations could have a significant adverse effect on our business. In addition, deterioration in the liquidity or creditworthiness of these dealers could negatively impact our sales and could trigger repurchase obligations under our repurchase agreements.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for any concentrations existing at the date of the financial statements that make an entity vulnerable to a reasonably possible, near-term, severe impact. This disclosure informs financial statement users about the general nature of the risk associated with the concentration, and may indicate the percentage of concentration risk as of the balance sheet date.

Fair Value Measurements

6 Months Ended

Mar. 02, 2013

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We account for fair value measurements in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measurement and expands disclosure about fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

Cash Equivalents

The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value as original maturities are less than three months. Our cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds traded in an active market with no restrictions.

The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at March 2, 2013 and August 25, 2012 according to the valuation techniques we used to determine their fair values:



	Fair Value at March 2, 2013		Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered As

(In thousands)	Fair Value at August 25, 2012		Level 1 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Level 2 Significant Other Observable Inputs		Level 3 Significant Unobservable Inputs
Long-term investments:

Fixed income funds	487		487		—		—
Total assets at fair value	$	18,442	$	9,368	$	—	$	9,074

The following table provides a reconciliation between the beginning and ending balances of items measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the table above that used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):



	Quarter Ended					Six Months Ended

The following table presents quantitative information regarding unobservable inputs that were significant to the valuation of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 2, 2013 using Level 3 inputs:

Discount for lack of marketability

2.94%

3.62%

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Long-Term Investments

Our long-term investments are ARS and classified as Level 3, as quoted prices were unavailable due to events described in Note 4. Due to limited market information, we utilized a DCF model to derive an estimate of fair value for the ARS at March 2, 2013. The assumptions used in preparing the DCF model included estimates with respect to the amount and timing of future interest and principal payments, forward projections of the interest rate benchmarks, the probability of full repayment of the principal considering the credit quality and guarantees in place and the rate of return required by investors to own such securities given the current liquidity risk associated with ARS.

Assets that Fund Deferred Compensation

Our assets that fund deferred compensation are marketable equity securities measured at fair value using quoted market prices and primarily consist of equity-based mutual funds. They are classified as Level 1 as they are traded in an active market for which closing stock prices are readily available. These securities fund the Executive Share Option Plan (see Note 10), a deferred compensation program, and are presented as other assets in the accompanying balance sheets.

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Our non-financial assets, which include goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, we must evaluate the non-financial asset for impairment. If an impairment did occur, the asset is required to be recorded at the estimated fair value. During the first six months of Fiscal 2013, no impairments were recorded for non-financial assets.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

Investments	Mar. 02, 2013
Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]
Investments	Investments We own investments in marketable securities that have been designated as "available for sale" in accordance with ASC 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. Available for sale securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses reported in "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," a component of stockholders' equity. At March 2, 2013, we held $9.4 million (par value) of tax-exempt ARS, which are variable-rate debt securities and have a long-term maturity with the interest rate being reset through Dutch auctions that are typically held every 7, 28 or 35 days. Prior to February 2008, these securities traded at par and are callable at par at the option of the issuer. Interest is typically paid at the end of each auction period or semiannually. The ARS we hold are rated AAA by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and AAA to A by Fitch Ratings, and are collateralized by student loans guaranteed by the US Government under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. Since February 2008, most ARS auctions have failed and there is no assurance that future auctions for our ARS will succeed and, as a result, our ability to liquidate our investment and fully recover the par value in the near term may be limited or nonexistent. We have no reason to believe that any of the underlying issuers of our ARS are presently at risk of default. We have continued to receive interest payments on the ARS in accordance with their terms. We believe we will ultimately be able to liquidate our ARS related investments without significant loss primarily due to the collateral securing the ARS, but also due to the partial redemptions we have received over the last five fiscal years at par value. However, redemption could take until final maturity of the ARS (up to 29 years) to realize the par value of our investments. Due to the changes and uncertainty in the ARS market, we believe the recovery period for these investments is likely to be longer than 12 months and as a result, we have classified our $9.4 million (par value) of these investments as long-term as of March 2, 2013. At March 2, 2013, there was insufficient observable ARS market information available to determine the fair value of our ARS investments. Therefore, we estimated fair value by incorporating assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of fair value. Some of these assumptions included credit quality, final stated maturities, estimates on the probability of the issue being called prior to final maturity, impact due to extended periods of maximum auction rates and broker quotes from independent evaluators. Based on this analysis, we recorded an unrealized temporary impairment of $665,000 in AOCI before tax considerations related to our long-term ARS investments of $9.4 million (par value) at March 2, 2013.

Goodwill and Amortizable Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets are the result of the acquisition of SunnyBrook during Fiscal 2011. Goodwill of $1.2 million is not subject to amortization for financial statement purposes, but is amortizable for tax return purposes. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. The weighted average remaining amortization period at March 2, 2013 is 7.6 years.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Intangible assets are also subject to impairment tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the asset's carrying value may exceed its estimated fair value, at which time an impairment would be recorded.

Amortizable intangible assets consist of the following:

Postretirement Health Care Benefits

We provide certain health care and other benefits for retired employees hired before April 1, 2001, who have fulfilled eligibility requirements at age 55 with 15 years of continuous service. We use a September 1 measurement date for this plan and our postretirement health care plan currently is not funded. Changes in the postretirement benefit plan include:


•	In Fiscal 2005, we established dollar caps on the amount that we will pay for postretirement health care benefits per retiree on an annual basis so that we were not exposed to continued medical inflation. Retirees are required to pay a monthly premium in excess of the employer dollar caps for medical coverage based on years of service and age at retirement.


•	In January 2012 the employer established dollar caps were reduced by 10%, which reduced our liability for postretirement health care by $4.6 million and is being amortized as prior service credit over 7.8 years.


•	In January 2013 the employer established dollar caps were further reduced by 10%, which reduced our liability for postretirement health care by approximately $4.3 million and is being amortized as prior service credit over 7.5 years.

Net periodic postretirement benefit income consisted of the following components:

Stock-Based Compensation Plans	6 Months Ended
Stock-Based Compensation Plans	Mar. 02, 2013
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation Plans	We have a 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan approved by shareholders (as amended, the "Plan") in place which allows us to grant or issue non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, share awards and other equity compensation to key employees and to non-employee directors. On October 10, 2012 the Board of Directors granted an aggregate of 155,600 shares of restricted common stock to our key employees and non-employee directors. The value of the restricted stock award is determined using the intrinsic value method which, in this case, is based on the number of shares granted and the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense was $309,000 and $572,000 during the second quarters of Fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was $996,000 and $749,000 during the six months of Fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Of the $996,000, $713,000 related to the October 10, 2012 grant. The remainder is related to the amortization of previously granted restricted stock awards, as well as nonemployee director stock units issued in lieu of their fees. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period of the award or over a period ending with the employee's eligible retirement date, if earlier.

- Definition

Contingent Liabilites and Commitments

6 Months Ended

Mar. 02, 2013

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

Repurchase Commitments

Generally, manufacturers in the RV industry enter into repurchase agreements with lending institutions which have provided wholesale floorplan financing to dealers. Most dealers' RVs are financed on a "floorplan" basis under which a bank or finance company lends the dealer all, or substantially all, of the purchase price, collateralized by a security interest in the recreation vehicles purchased.

Our repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of default by the dealer on the agreement to pay the lending institution, we will repurchase the financed merchandise. The terms of these agreements, which generally can last up to 18 months, provide that our liability will be the lesser of remaining principal owed by the dealer or dealer invoice less periodic reductions based on the time since the date of the original invoice. Our contingent liability on these repurchase agreements was approximately $227.8 million and $165.4 million at March 2, 2013 and August 25, 2012, respectively.

In certain instances, we also repurchase inventory from our dealers due to state law or regulatory requirements that govern voluntary or involuntary relationship terminations. Although laws vary from state to state, some states have laws in place that require manufacturers of recreation vehicles to repurchase current inventory if a dealership exits the business. Incremental repurchase exposure beyond existing repurchase agreements, related to dealer inventory in states that we have had historical experience of repurchasing inventory, totaled $6.7 million and $5.0 million at March 2, 2013 and August 25, 2012, respectively.

Our risk of loss related to our repurchase commitments is significantly reduced by the potential resale value of any products that are subject to repurchase and is spread over numerous dealers and lenders. The aggregate contingent liability related to our repurchase agreements represents all financed dealer inventory at the period reporting date subject to a repurchase agreement, net of the greater of periodic reductions per the agreement or dealer principal payments. Based on the repurchase exposure as previously described, we established an associated loss reserve. Our accrued losses on repurchases were $1.1 million as of March 2, 2013 and $627,000 as of August 25, 2012.

A summary of repurchase activity is as follows:



	Quarter Ended				Six Months Ended
(Dollars in thousands)	March 2, 2013		February 25, 2012		March 2, 2013		February 25, 2012
Inventory repurchased:
Units	—		—		—		17
Dollars	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	1,249
Inventory resold:
Units	—		5		—		17
Cash collected	$	—	$	60	$	—	$	1,103
Loss recognized	$	—	$	29	$	—	$	146
Units in ending inventory	—		—		—		—

We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to calculate our loss reserve for repurchase commitments. A hypothetical change of a 10% increase or decrease in our significant repurchase commitment assumptions at March 2, 2013 would have affected net income by approximately $245,000.

Litigation

We are involved in various legal proceedings which are ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. We believe while the final resolution of any such litigation may have an impact on our results for a particular reporting period, the ultimate disposition of such litigation will not have any material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Mar. 02, 2013
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We account for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances arise due to uncertainty of realizing deferred tax assets. ASC 740 requires that companies assess whether valuation allowances should be established against their deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence, using a “more-likely-than-not” standard. In making such assessments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. A company's current or previous losses are given more weight than its future outlook. Based on ASC 740 guidelines, as of March 2, 2013 and August 25, 2012, we have applied a valuation allowance of $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, against our deferred tax assets. We will continue to assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be realizable at each reporting period and our valuation allowance will be adjusted accordingly, which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations. We file tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as various international and state jurisdictions. Although certain years are no longer subject to examinations by the IRS and various state taxing authorities, net operating loss carryforwards generated in those years may still be adjusted upon examination by the IRS or state taxing authorities if they either have been or will be used in a future period. Due to such carryback claims, our federal returns from Fiscal 2004 to present continue to be subject to review by the IRS. As such, the IRS is currently reviewing our Fiscal 2011 federal tax return. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is audited and finally resolved, and it is often very difficult to predict the outcome of such audits. Periodically, various state and local jurisdictions conduct audits, therefore, a variety of years are subject to state and local jurisdiction review. As of March 2, 2013, our unrecognized tax benefits were $5.1 million, of which if realized $3.1 million could have a positive impact on the overall effective tax rate. It is our policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits as tax expense. As of March 2, 2013, we had accrued $2.1 million in interest and penalties which are included in unrecognized tax benefits. We do not anticipate any significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. Actual results may differ materially from this estimate.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Fiscal Period [Policy Text Block]	Fiscal Period We follow a 52-/53-week fiscal year, ending the last Saturday in August. Fiscal 2013 is a 53-week fiscal year; the first quarter ending December 1, 2012 was a 14-week quarter, and the six months ending March 2, 2013 had 27 weeks. Fiscal 2012 was a 52-week year; the first quarter ending November 26, 2011 was a 13-week quarter, and the six months ending February 25, 2012 had 26 weeks.
New Accounting Pronouncements [Policy Text Block]	New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which revised the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. Specifically, the new guidance requires an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. While the new guidance changed the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 (our Fiscal 2013). We adopted this guidance as of August 26, 2012, and have presented total comprehensive income in our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which simplified the manner in which entities test goodwill for impairment. After assessment of certain qualitative factors, if it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, entities must perform a quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative test becomes optional. ASU 2011-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 (our Fiscal 2013). We do not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which expands the presentation of changes in AOCI. The new guidance requires an entity to disaggregate the total change of each component of other comprehensive income either on the face of the net income statement or as a separate disclosure in the notes. ASU 2013-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012 (our Fiscal 2014). We do not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
