2001 Minnie Winnie 31c

As a 2003 Winnebago mini (24V) owner, I want to warn you about the sealing of the corner molding on the wall area over the cab doors. This molding has not been sealed at the factory as seen by myself and one other member with the same rig. Also look carefully at the molding where it curves up around the corners of the cab over area.

Good luck in making a decision.

Mike,

How did you know about the Micro Wave recall. We just purchased a 2003 Minnie 29B in July 2015. We love the thing.

If it really is a Minnie Winnie 400 series it is a step up from a Minnie 300 series. Dick

We love our 2003 Minnie. We have owned her for three years. Would we purchase again? YES! The dollar investment was much less overall than a newer rig.

Last year we replaced the original tires and batteries. We replaced the sewer hose, and do regular engine maintenance. We replaced the old heavy tv with a light weight flat screen. The microwave was one of the recalled Samsungs. Samsung sent us a check and we bought and installed a new one. BTW tank sensors seldom work correctly no matter what the age. :-)

Have a mechanic check it. Check for any water damage (sight and smell).

Good luck in making a decision.

All I can say is Minnie Winnies are great coaches and I've heard a lot satisfied owners through the years.

On RV Tires
It's not the miles
It's the age.

Check the Date of Production code imprinted on the sidewalls

Different Manufacturers have different standards as to age
Michelin has about the longest -- their standard is MAX 10 years

You are taking your life in your hands with old tires.

I have a 2007 Winnebago Outlook 31C. If I am not mistaken, it was renamed to Outlook from Minnie in 2006. Then, in 2011 they renamed it again. I don't know what the name went to then.

Love it.

In the 9 years we have owned it, we have never seen one we would like nearly as well.

Here is the brochure for the 2001 Minnie Winnie line.

We just bought the same motorhome in January except ours is Minnie, not Minnie Winnie. Had about 33k miles, very good condition. Issues so far:
-service engine light came on when we were driving it home after filling up the first time
-discovered a leak in overcab bed (also on drive home in a bad rainstorm)
-black water sensors not accurate

We sealed the leak.

We've been on three trips so far. No problems with slide, furnace, engine. We're happy. We spent about 23k on ours which was a little more than it was valued, but it was in really good shape.

Pro: less money to buy.

Con: it is 15 years old. The money you save will be lost in repairs.
