Winnebago Minnie 25B - good choice?

I like the floor plan, and the fact that is has no slide out (weight, eventual leaks, chances of failure)

I understand that its the the most basic C-class Winnebago offers.

Anything I should be aware with this model? Any potential shortcomings? Thank you.
  • I have the 2014 model and am still very happy with it after 7000 miles. However, I did think long and hard about what type vehicle would be right for me before I purchased. I have the Chevy chassis which rides well and handles the east coast mountains with no trouble. There have been no problems with the coach or any of its systems or appliances and no issues with the fit and form. But I did require a repair of the Onan generator early on (faulty fuel pump) and the fuel line on the chassis (cracked connector during manufacture) as well as two recall repairs on the Chevy. The only thing that seems low-end are the faucet fixtures. Otherwise it seems very well put together. Fully loaded with everything I needed for my trip up the east coast, including water, fuel and me, I still had 1000 lbs cargo weight reserve. It doesn't come with a spare tire so I added one in external storage. It cools and heats very easily. I replaced the glass shower enclosure with an Extend-a-Rod and shower curtain wihich was a significant space improvement. I also added 2 vent covers on the roof.
  • Yes, fiberglass roof is one of the main reasons I am looking at this model.
  • It is a Winnebago, so it will be well made, with diagrams and parts available from the maker. It is on an E-350 chassis -- par for the course. It also has a fiberglass roof, which is important.

    Just make sure it has the options you want, like heated drainage and a generator.
