Thanks Mitch for that info.... I talked to winnebago industries and they said to take the rv back to my dealer and if they think it needs to be re-designed, they will cover it under warranty.
I am going do that next week.

I wish you would have finished following up after you dealer experience as its kind of the point of these forums other then just getting what you need.:R

Anyways for others out there the problem still exists with the Micro Minnie except now the floor its spray foamed and insulated making it more difficult to work on. My 2018 only had 5.25" of ground clearance and a scraped getting in my very flat driveway. Any speed bump would knock the cap off too and scrap.

The dealer just wanted $350 to lift the camper 3" but my last trailer never tracked right and swayed like crazy with any cross wind after it was lifted so i'm not doing that again. Winnebago was mostly useless.

With a heat gun i was able to heat the plastic pipes up enough to bend them a couple of inches forward (toward axle) and up that provided 3.5" more of clearance without impacting the drain angle. I used a floor jack to hold the pipes in place as i slowly lifted over 45min and moving the heat gun around to keep the pipe pliable. Once it cooled down everything held in place and i could reinstall the hanger.

As the actual valves are up higher near the tank I also cut the pipes below them and put in a rubber plumbing repair sleeve so that if i hit something it will pull loose there versus damaging the valves or tanks and shouldn't dumb black water everywhere in the process.

Total clearance now is almost 9"'s so i'm likely still going to hit it over time but this way its easier to put the clamps back around the rubber sleeve and the valves hold the fluids back.
