Orginal post here:http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/27157509.cfmAfter I posted that last post, I decided on this:2004 Winnebago Minnie 31cIt came with rear air bags and heated tanks, seems it was loaded out as per the original window sticker.I bought it from Beckleys RV's and it was pretty much turn key. Specs:66K miles1,2xx hours on GenNew sealed roofNew tiresNew Power AwningI have since winterized and I am ready for spring. To kill time I am doing some small items to it such as... Replace kitchen faucetreplace tube TV and put in 22 inch flat LED w/dvdcaulk showerTo do before spring:Oil ChangeGen oil changeput in new head unitPics:My kids having a sleepover in the driveway! hahaha

Very nice! Congrats and thank you and your family for your service.

Nice looking rig......driveway camping is a great way to check out systems and fun for the kidsI had an old analog tv built in like yours.Made a new cabinet door and mounted a slim line LCD/LED TV on face of door.New TV and an added bonus of a 'new' storage cabinet.

You'll be happy with it. My grandparents have 02 almost exactly like yours except the front window. They bought it new and no drivetrain or coach issue's since. I really like the one piece fiber glass roof. I would of bought something similar but I didn't like the lack of windows on the passenger side.

We've got the same coach, though a few years older (2000) but you could have taken that photo of the interior from our photo album (though we don't have the kids in our picture:B).I think you will be very happy with your unit. Watch for leaking around the over-cab area. That front window gets some abuse with the driving rains that the other windows avoid.Remember to run the genset during the winter, even if you aren't going to be sleeping in the RV....though the kids may want to do that too:)The furnace works pretty well!Good LuckHappy Holidays:)

Happy new 2004 Minnie Winnebago 31C owner! | Good Sam Community

Its wierd how things happen. I took a position in Key West for a few months, but will be going back to Maryland in October. I didnt even have time to camp in her once, and now we are taking a huge road trip...

Loaded up, getting ready to head out. Picture taken Feb2014 in Westminster, MD

Here we are 3 weeks later, on a campground in Key west.

One of my kids made her way to my bed sometime during the night... What a view to wake up to..

Love the rig.. I might be biased since I have the exact 2004 unit. Like someone said before, check the seals along the cab over.

Have fun...

Congrats on the new to you unit and welcome to the world of class C. We love our Winnie. It is identical to yours on the inside. We still have that old analog tv as well. It should serve you well. Have a great time with it.

We have the 2005 version, and yes, those photos could have been taken in ours as well, although we removed the mirror years ago... Great for the family and three dogs.

We also had a 2004 Minnie exactly like yours and made the mistake of upgrading to a Class A in 2008. We recently traded it in for a new class C. Good luck with your Minnie. Ours was great!

Our first motor home was a 2005 Minnie 31-C. We bought it new and spent two winters in it snow birding. After the second winter, we wanted more room and bought a class A. Although we are very pleased with our class A, I will always miss the Minnie! It was flawless, never had any defects other than a scratched exterior basement door, which the dealer replaced with a new one from Winnebago. It was very easy to work on and maintain and the older I get, the more I miss that rig. I hope you have safe travels and many pleasant memories with your Minnie.
