Micro Minnie: whatcha think?

Hi!

Does anyone have a Micro Minnie? Or has anybody who knows anything about trailers checked them out and formed an opinion?

I'm (still) looking for a seven-wide TT with big appliances and the Micro Minnie 2100BH is in consideration.

I don't have any TT experience and might be overlooking something. I know it's small, and the tanks are kind of small, but it seems okay for two adults and two kids. We only dry camp and are capable of conversing water.

Any thoughts on this model or the line in general are appreciated. Thanks!

    Not always. Depends on the TV’s payload. Never say never or always regarding RVs. And pouring water into a TT from a 5 gallon can isn’t fun or fast.
  • A 31 gallon fresh tank is pretty typical size, and should serve you well enough. That TT is 22' long overall, a decent size. There may be times when you grow tired of looking at each other's faces over the single place to sit (dinette), but anything with a sofa added in will increase length a fair bit. It has plenty of cargo carrying capacity (weight wise). Looks like they vent the fridge through the roof, which is far better for proper function than sidewall exhaust. Winnebago has been around for a long time. If you like it, go for it.

    Unfortunately that link takes you to their entire lineup, with the smallest one pictured. I lack the skills to link to the proper model. We're looking at the one with a dinette slide. It's big enough for everyone to have a spot to sleep and a large enough dinette to play cards if the weather is bad. Looks like it will hold food, clothes, and toothbrushes.

    Good to hear you're enjoying your larger version, Neschultz. These things look like they're put together a little better than average, when you look at cabinetry and details like that, but then again, I could probably build a beautiful trailer that would fall apart if you leaned on it so...looks aren't everything! :)

    The tanks are small but you can't do much better in a TT this size. We can always carry more water in the TV. Bigger is always better but you can't have everything!

    I don't think we have rental places around here but I will certainly look. We've spent time in a slightly smaller no-slide TT with some friends on a rainy camping trip and we thought it was pretty nice until we brought the dog in too. At that point it got a little tight and started to smell bad.

    2100BH is a slide out model.

  • For me, specially if I had kids, it might be too small unless the only thing you will do it it would be to sleep. If you are used to tent camping this will feel like a palace. Depending on how old the kids are it might not be long before you start to feel cramped. Do you live anywhere that you can rent a similar unit to take one of your typical camping trips to test drive it before you buy?

  • I’m happy with my 2015 2101DS. Two comments on the 2100BH, only 31 gallons of fresh water won’t last long dry camping and where will you all sit in the evenings when outside is a no go? That booth will get uncomfortable quick IMO. No sink in bathroom is not for me either. Consider the 2106DS for the sofas and carry Gerry cans for extra water. Final comment...too small for four. The 2455BHS is better suited for you.
  • Hi,

    I can’t speak to that specific model. We have a 2401RG and love it...but have done some mods to make it suit us perfectly. We’ve had it for 18 months and put 10,000 miles on it with no problems except the Dometic AC had to be replaced.
