Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms "Winnebago," "WGO," "we," "us," and "our" in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements refers to Winnebago Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation as prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All adjustments were comprised of normal recurring adjustments, except as noted in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019. Fiscal Period We follow a 52-/53-week fiscal year, ending the last Saturday in August. Fiscal 2020 is a 52-week year, while Fiscal 2019 was a 53-week year. The extra (53rd) week in Fiscal 2019 was recognized in our fourth quarter. Subsequent Events In preparing the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing. There were no material subsequent events, except for the items described below. Dividend On March 17, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share payable on April 29, 2020 to common stockholders of record at the close of business on April 15, 2020. Interest Rate Swap On March 2, 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for an incremental notional amount of $25 million to exchange floating for fixed rate interest payments for our LIBOR-based borrowings. The interest rate swap had a fair value of zero at inception, is effective March 4, 2020 and has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap agreement, with a maturity date of March 4, 2025, converts the Company's interest rate payments on $25 million of variable-rate, 1-month LIBOR-based debt to a fixed interest rate of 1.364%. On March 6, 2020, the Company entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement for an incremental notional amount of $25 million to exchange floating for fixed rate interest payments for our LIBOR-based borrowings. The interest rate swap had a fair value of zero at inception, is effective March 10, 2020 and has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap agreement, with a maturity date of March 4, 2025, converts the Company's interest rate payments on an incremental $25 million of variable-rate, 1-month LIBOR-based debt to a fixed interest rate of 1.265%. COVID-19 In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States. On March 23, 2020, the Company announced that it would temporarily suspend production at its facilities anticipated to last through April 12, 2020. While the Company expects this matter to negatively impact its results of operations, the extent to which the coronavirus may impact its liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations is uncertain. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements We adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , as of September 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance with the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification, and we elected the hindsight practical expedient. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of net lease assets and lease liabilities of $33.8 million and $33.4 million, respectively, as of September 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on our cash flows. The following table details line items impacted by the adoption of this ASU within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 1, 2019: (in thousands) August 31, 2019 ASU 2016-02 Adjustment on September 1, 2019 Assets Other intangible assets, net $ 256,082 $ (1,310) $ 254,772 Operating lease assets — 33,811 33,811 Total assets $ 1,104,231 $ 32,501 $ 1,136,732 Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity Accrued expenses: Other $ 13,678 $ 1,258 $ 14,936 Total current liabilities 197,744 1,258 199,002 Operating lease liabilities — 31,243 31,243 Total non-current liabilities 274,275 31,243 305,518 Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $ 1,104,231 $ 32,501 $ 1,136,732 Also, in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, we adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) , which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , and has since issued additional amendments. ASU 2016-13 will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (our Fiscal 2021), including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. We expect to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, and we do not expect a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020 (our Fiscal 2022), including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. We expect to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, and we do not expect a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combinations	Business Combinations Newmar Corporation On November 8, 2019, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 15, 2019 (the "Purchase Agreement"), Winnebago completed the acquisition of 100% of Newmar Corporation, Dutch Real Estate Corp., New-Way Transport, and New-Serv (collectively “Newmar”). Newmar is a leading manufacturer of Class A and Super C motorized recreation vehicles that are sold through an established network of independent authorized dealers throughout North America. The following table summarizes the total consideration paid for Newmar, noting that it is subject to purchase price adjustments as stipulated in the Purchase Agreement: (in thousands) November 8, 2019 Cash $ 267,749 Winnebago Industries shares: 2,000,000 at $46.29 92,572 Total $ 360,321 The cash portion of the purchase price of the acquisition and certain transaction expenses were funded through the private placement of convertible senior notes (as further described in Note 9, Long-Term Debt ) and cash on hand. The stock consideration was discounted by 7.0% due to lack of marketability because of the one year lock-up restrictions. The total purchase price was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets of Newmar acquired, based on their fair values at the date of the acquisition. We believe that the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values, but we are waiting for additional information necessary to finalize the working capital adjustment as defined in the purchase agreement and the amounts related to income taxes. Thus, the preliminary measurements of fair value reflected are subject to change. We expect to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation no later than one year from the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values assigned to the Newmar net assets acquired and the determination of net assets: (in thousands) November 8, 2019 Cash $ 3,469 Accounts receivable 37,147 Inventories 82,621 Prepaid expenses and other assets 9,586 Property, plant, and equipment 31,143 Goodwill 73,929 Other intangible assets 172,100 Total assets acquired 409,995 Accounts payable 14,023 Accrued compensation 4,306 Product warranties 15,147 Promotional 3,593 Other 11,637 Deferred tax liabilities 968 Total liabilities assumed 49,674 Total purchase price $ 360,321 The goodwill, recognized in our Motorhome segment, is primarily attributable to the value of the workforce, reputation of founders, customer and dealer growth opportunities, and expected synergies. Key areas of cost synergies include increased purchasing power for raw materials and supply chain consolidation. Goodwill is expected to be mostly deductible for tax purposes. The following table summarizes the other intangible assets acquired: ($ in thousands) November 8, 2019 Useful Life-Years Trade name $ 98,000 Indefinite Dealer network 64,000 12.0 Backlog 8,800 0.5 Non-compete agreements 1,300 5.0 The fair value of the trade name and dealer network were estimated using an income approach. Under the income approach, an intangible asset's fair value is equal to the present value of the future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the asset. The fair value of the trade name was estimated using an income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method. The relief from royalty method is based on the hypothetical royalty stream that would be received if we were to license the trade name and was based on expected revenues. The fair value of the trade name was estimated using an income approach, specifically the cost to recreate/cost saving method. This method uses the replacement of the asset as an indicator of the fair value of the asset. The useful life of the intangibles was determined considering the expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the intangible assets adjusted for the entity-specific factors including legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that may limit the useful life of intangible assets. On the acquisition date, amortizable intangible assets had a weighted-average useful life of approximately 10.5 years. The results of Newmar's operations have been included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the close of the acquisition within the Motorhome segment.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segments	Business Segments We have six operating segments: 1) Grand Design towables, 2) Winnebago towables, 3) Winnebago motorhomes, 4) Newmar motorhomes, 5) Chris-Craft marine, and 6) Winnebago specialty vehicles. We evaluate performance based on each operating segment's Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, which excludes certain corporate administration expenses and non-operating income and expense. Our two reportable segments include: 1) Towable (comprised of products which are not motorized and are generally towed by another vehicle as well as other related manufactured products and services), which is an aggregation of the Grand Design towables and the Winnebago towables operating segments and 2) Motorhome (comprised of products that include a motorized chassis as well as other related manufactured products and services), which is an aggregation of the Winnebago motorhomes and Newmar motorhomes operating segments. The Corporate / All Other category includes the Chris-Craft marine and Winnebago specialty vehicles operating segments as well as expenses related to certain corporate administration expenses for the oversight of the enterprise. These expenses include items such as corporate leadership and administration costs. Identifiable assets of the reportable segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents and certain deferred tax balances. The general corporate assets are included in the Corporate / All Other category. Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM relies on internal management reporting that analyzes consolidated results to the net earnings level and operating segment's Adjusted EBITDA. Our CODM has ultimate responsibility for enterprise decisions. Our CODM determines, in particular, resource allocation for, and monitors the performance of, the consolidated enterprise, the Towable segment, and the Motorhome segment. The operating segments' management have responsibility for operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance within their respective segments. The accounting policies of both reportable segments are the same and are described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019. We evaluate the performance of our reportable segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and other adjustments made in order to present comparable results from period to period. Examples of items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA include acquisition-related fair-value inventory step-up, acquisition-related costs, restructuring expenses, and non-operating income.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Derivatives, Investments, and Fair Value Measurements	Derivatives, Investments, and 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 Accounting Standards Codification ("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. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels as follows: Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2 - Other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including: • Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; • Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in nonactive markets; • Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and • Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions. The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019 according to the valuation techniques we used to determine their fair values: Fair Value at Fair Value Hierarchy (in thousands) February 29, Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets that fund deferred compensation: Domestic equity funds $ 435 $ 343 $ 92 $ — International equity funds 100 34 66 — Fixed income funds 173 52 121 — Total assets at fair value $ 708 $ 429 $ 279 $ — Fair Value at Fair Value Hierarchy (in thousands) August 31, Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets that fund deferred compensation: Domestic equity funds $ 373 $ 288 $ 85 $ — International equity funds 101 45 56 — Fixed income funds 155 54 101 — Interest rate swap contract 90 — 90 — Total assets at fair value $ 719 $ 387 $ 332 $ — The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument: 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. These securities are primarily 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 and the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. Refer to Note 10, Employee and Retiree Benefits , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 for additional information regarding these plans. The proportion of the assets that will fund options which expire within a year are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining assets are classified as non-current and are included in Other assets. Interest Rate Swap Contract On January 23, 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap contract, which effectively fixed our interest rate on our $300.0 million term loan agreement ("Term Loan") for a notional amount that reduced each December during the swap contract. As of August 31, 2019, we had $120.0 million of our Term Loan fixed at an interest rate of 5.32%. In the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, we exited the swap contract prior to its expiration on December 8, 2020. The fair value of the interest rate swap was classified as Level 2 as it was determined based on observable market data. The asset was included in Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in value was recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets since the interest rate swap was designated for hedge accounting. Assets and Liabilities that are measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Our non-financial assets, which include goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant 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 has occurred, the asset is required to be recorded at the estimated fair value. No impairments were recorded for non-financial assets in the second quarter of Fiscal 2020 or the second quarter of Fiscal 2019. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Our financial instruments, other than those presented in the disclosures above, include cash, receivables, accounts payable, other payables, and long-term debt. The fair values of cash, receivables, accounts payable, and other payables approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. If these instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 9, Long-Term Debt , for information about the fair value of our long-term debt.

Product Warranties	Product Warranties We provide certain service and warranty on our products. From time to time, we also voluntarily incur costs for certain warranty-type expenses occurring after the normal warranty period to help protect the reputation of our products and the goodwill of our customers. Estimated costs related to product warranty are accrued at the time of sale and are based upon historical warranty and service claims experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and cost experience becomes available. In addition to the costs associated with the contractual warranty coverage provided on our products, we also occasionally incur costs as a result of additional service actions not covered by our warranties, including product recalls and customer satisfaction actions. Although we estimate and reserve for the cost of these service actions, there can be no assurance that expense levels will remain at current levels or such reserves will continue to be adequate.

(the agreements governing the ABL Credit Facility and the Term Loan, collectively the "Credit Agreements"). On October 22, 2019, our ABL Credit Facility was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the commitments thereunder to $192.5 million. The Credit Agreements contain certain financial covenants. As of February 29, 2020, we are in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreements. Convertible Notes On November 1, 2019, we issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.5% unsecured convertible senior notes due 2025 (“Convertible Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers' transaction fees and offering expense payable by us, were approximately $290.4 million. The Convertible Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 1.5%, payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2020, and will mature on April 1, 2025, unless earlier converted or repurchased by us. The Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, at our election, at an initial conversion rate of 15.6906 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $63.73 per share, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Convertible Notes (the "Indenture"). The Convertible Notes may be converted at any time on or after October 1, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The conversion rate of the Convertible Notes may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in connection with a conversion of the Convertible Notes made following certain fundamental changes and under other circumstances set forth in the Indenture. It is our current intent to settle all conversions of the Convertible Notes through settlement of cash. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding October 1, 2024, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after December 31, 2019 if the closing sale price of the common stock is more than 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the 5 consecutive business day period after any 5 consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events set forth in the indenture. We may not redeem the Convertible Notes at our option prior to the maturity date, and no sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes. On October 29, 2019 and October 30, 2019, in connection with the offering of the Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (collectively, the “Hedge Transactions”) that cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the Convertible Notes, and are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount due, as the case may be, upon conversion of the Convertible Notes in the event that the market price of our common stock is greater than the strike price of the Hedge Transactions, which was initially $63.73 per share (subject to adjustment under the terms of the Hedge Transactions), corresponding to the initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes. On October 29, 2019 and October 30, 2019, we also entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions (collectively, the “Warrant Transactions” and, together with the Hedge Transactions, the “Call Spread Transactions”), whereby we sold warrants at a higher strike price relating to the same number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the Convertible Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The initial strike price of the warrants is $96.20 per share (subject to adjustment under the terms of the Warrant Transactions), which is 100% above the last reported sale price of our common stock on October 29, 2019. The Warrant Transactions could have a dilutive effect to our stockholders to the extent that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrant Transactions, exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants. We used $28.6 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes to pay the cost of the Call Spread Transactions. The Hedge Transactions and the Warrant Transactions are separate transactions, in each case, and are not part of the terms of the Convertible Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the Convertible Notes. Holders of the Convertible Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Call Spread Transactions. Accounting Treatment of the Convertible Notes and Related Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions The Call Spread Transactions were classified as equity. We bifurcated the proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes between liability and equity components. On the date of issuance, the liability and equity components were calculated to be approximately $215.0 million and $85.0 million, respectively. The initial $215.0 million liability component was determined based on the fair value of similar debt instruments excluding the conversion feature assuming a hypothetical interest rate of 8%. The initial $85.0 million ($64.1 million net of tax) equity component represents the difference between the fair value of the initial $215.0 million in debt and the $300.0 million of gross proceeds. The related initial debt discount of $85.0 million is being amortized over the life of the Convertible Notes as non-cash interest expense using the effective interest method. In connection with the above-noted transactions, we incurred approximately $9.6 million of offering-related costs. These offering fees were allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds and accounted for as debt and equity issuance costs, respectively. We allocated $7.0 million of debt issuance costs to the liability component, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs within Long-term debt. These costs are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. The remaining $2.6 million of transaction costs allocated to the equity component were recorded as a reduction of the equity component.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases Our leases primarily include operating leases for office and manufacturing space and equipment. Our finance leases are primarily for real estate. For any lease with an initial term in excess of 12 months, the related lease assets and liabilities are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as either operating or finance leases at the inception of an agreement where it is determined that a lease exists. We have lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components, and we have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of assets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. When the terms of multiple lease agreements are materially consistent, we have elected the portfolio approach for our asset and liability calculations. Lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. These assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future payments over the lease term at commencement date. We generally use a collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date, including lease term, in determining the present value of future payments. Our assumed lease terms generally do not include options to extend or terminate the lease unless it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Some of our real estate operating leases require payment of real estate taxes, common area maintenance, and insurance. In addition, certain of our leases are subject to annual changes in the consumer price index. These components comprise the majority of our variable lease cost and are excluded from the present value of our lease obligations. Fixed payments may contain predetermined fixed rent escalations. For our operating leases, we recognize the related rent expense on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the end of the lease term.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingent Liabilities and Commitments	Contingent Liabilities and Commitments Repurchase Commitments Generally, manufacturers in our industries enter into repurchase agreements with lending institutions which have provided wholesale floorplan financing to dealers. Most dealers 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 units purchased. Our repurchase agreements generally 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 24 months, provide that our liability will be the lesser of remaining principal owed by the dealer to the lending institution, or dealer invoice less periodic reductions based on the time since the date of the original invoice. Our liability cannot exceed 100% of the dealer invoice. 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 recreational vehicles or boats to repurchase current inventory if a dealership exits the business. Our total contingent liability on all repurchase agreements was approximately $1.4 billion and $874.9 million at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively. Repurchased sales are not recorded as a revenue transaction, but the net difference between the original repurchase price and the resale price are recorded against the loss reserve, which is a deduction from gross revenue. Our loss reserve for repurchase commitments contains uncertainties because the calculation requires management to make assumptions and apply judgment regarding a number of factors. Our risk of loss related to these 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 these repurchase agreements and our historical loss experience, we establish an associated loss reserve which is included in Accrued expenses: Other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our accrued losses on repurchases were $1.3 million and $0.9 million at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively. Repurchase risk is affected by the credit worthiness of our dealer network, and we do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions used to establish the loss reserve for repurchase commitments. There was no material activity related to repurchase agreements during the first six months ended February 29, 2020 and February 23, 2019. Litigation

Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation On December 11, 2018, our shareholders approved the Winnebago Industries, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("2019 Plan") as detailed in our Proxy Statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The 2019 Plan 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. The 2019 Plan replaces our 2014 Omnibus Equity, Performance Award, and Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the "2014 Plan"). The number of shares of our Common Stock that may be the subject of awards and issued under the 2019 Plan is 4.1 million, plus the shares subject to any awards outstanding under the 2014 Plan and our predecessor plan, the 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2004 Plan”), on December 11, 2018 that subsequently expire, are forfeited or canceled, or are settled for cash. Until such time, however, awards under the 2014 Plan and the 2004 Plan, respectively, that are outstanding on December 11, 2018 will continue to be subject to the terms of the 2014 Plan or 2004 Plan, as applicable. Shares remaining available for future awards under the 2014 Plan were not carried over into the 2019 Plan. Stock-based compensation expense was $2.0 million and $2.1 million during the second quarters of Fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $3.6 million and $4.6 million during the first six months of Fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes Our effective tax rate increased to 20.1% for the first six months ended February 29, 2020 from 18.4% for the first six months ended February 23, 2019 due primarily to the favorable impact in the prior year of research and development tax credits . We file a U.S. Federal tax return, as well as returns in various international and state jurisdictions. As of February 29, 2020, our federal returns from Fiscal 2016 to present are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service. With limited exception, state returns from Fiscal 2015 to present continue to be subject to review by state taxing jurisdictions. We are currently under review by certain U.S. state tax authorities for Fiscal 2015 through 2018. We believe we have adequately reserved for our exposure to additional payments for uncertain tax positions in our liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms "Winnebago," "WGO," "we," "us," and "our" in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements refers to Winnebago Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation as prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All adjustments were comprised of normal recurring adjustments, except as noted in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019.
Fiscal Period	Fiscal Period We follow a 52-/53-week fiscal year, ending the last Saturday in August. Fiscal 2020 is a 52-week year, while Fiscal 2019 was a 53-week year. The extra (53rd) week in Fiscal 2019 was recognized in our fourth quarter.
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events In preparing the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing. There were no material subsequent events, except for the items described below. Dividend On March 17, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share payable on April 29, 2020 to common stockholders of record at the close of business on April 15, 2020. Interest Rate Swap On March 2, 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for an incremental notional amount of $25 million to exchange floating for fixed rate interest payments for our LIBOR-based borrowings. The interest rate swap had a fair value of zero at inception, is effective March 4, 2020 and has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap agreement, with a maturity date of March 4, 2025, converts the Company's interest rate payments on $25 million of variable-rate, 1-month LIBOR-based debt to a fixed interest rate of 1.364%. On March 6, 2020, the Company entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement for an incremental notional amount of $25 million to exchange floating for fixed rate interest payments for our LIBOR-based borrowings. The interest rate swap had a fair value of zero at inception, is effective March 10, 2020 and has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap agreement, with a maturity date of March 4, 2025, converts the Company's interest rate payments on an incremental $25 million of variable-rate, 1-month LIBOR-based debt to a fixed interest rate of 1.265%. COVID-19 In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States. On March 23, 2020, the Company announced that it would temporarily suspend production at its facilities anticipated to last through April 12, 2020. While the Company expects this matter to negatively impact its results of operations, the extent to which the coronavirus may impact its liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations is uncertain.
Recently Adopted/Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements We adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , as of September 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance with the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification, and we elected the hindsight practical expedient. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of net lease assets and lease liabilities of $33.8 million and $33.4 million, respectively, as of September 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on our cash flows. The following table details line items impacted by the adoption of this ASU within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 1, 2019: (in thousands) August 31, 2019 ASU 2016-02 Adjustment on September 1, 2019 Assets Other intangible assets, net $ 256,082 $ (1,310) $ 254,772 Operating lease assets — 33,811 33,811 Total assets $ 1,104,231 $ 32,501 $ 1,136,732 Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity Accrued expenses: Other $ 13,678 $ 1,258 $ 14,936 Total current liabilities 197,744 1,258 199,002 Operating lease liabilities — 31,243 31,243 Total non-current liabilities 274,275 31,243 305,518 Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $ 1,104,231 $ 32,501 $ 1,136,732 Also, in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, we adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) , which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , and has since issued additional amendments. ASU 2016-13 will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (our Fiscal 2021), including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. We expect to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, and we do not expect a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020 (our Fiscal 2022), including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. We expect to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, and we do not expect a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
