Checking out the Winnebago Minnie 25B and wondering if anyone has installed after market automatic or manual levelers. I see Winnebago doesn't have them as an option. Also any other comments from 25B owners please chime in.
We had a 2004 Minnie 22E and really enjoyed it especially the passenger side dinette. Upgraded to another manufacturer longer 28' Class C loaded with options like 2 slide, levelers, 3 TVs, full body paint and find it a beast to drive and unpredictable issues. Looking into downsize and a more reliable RV.
Yep feel your pain on the longer MH, sure is nice having the walk around bed , the slide out for more room dinette area.
Now comes the I sure miss the 25.5 ft size of our last one.
Hey its only 4.2 ft longer ! Yeah well that 4.2 ft longer makes a big difference. I can't do a u-turn at 99% of the intersections anymore that I could easily do before ! Now look ahead before just pulling off the road.
I now have to watch for pulling in and out of places the tail end is so low it will and has dragged even going in/out at an angle !
I think its more being the Ford chassis ? But I've had a heck of a time getting the steering down to be controllable on our Aspect 28b which is 29.7 ft long .
As for levelers it is so nice just to pull in hit a switch and stand back and let it do its thing, instead of the pull up on blocks , back off them add another block here add another one to the one side of the rear etc etc, then say good enough ...
Then get the scissor jacks out run them up on each side of the rear to help stabilize the rocking back and forth.
Some will relate , when the Mrs is putting on makeup/contacts etc, the rig is NOT to move ! lol
