New to site. Looking for advice between 2 TT models.

Hello. I am debating purchasing a used/like new 2021 Rockwood Mini Lite 2205s or a new 2022 Winnebago Minnie 2306bhs.

I like both floor plans and would be happy with either one. I intend to use the camper primarily for solo trips and hope to do a few days of boon docking on each trip. The bunks in the Winnie would work well for storage and potentially guests.

The Rockwood would be several thousand cheaper (7-8k) and would come with a transferable warranty.

I’ll be towing this with a 19 Ram CC 4x4 with the 3.92 gears.

I believe the two brands are fairly equally manufactured though I would appreciate any solid feedback on either one.

Thank you in advance!

  • Are both TTs comfortably below the max trailer weight and max available payload of your truck?

    At 26 feet plus tongue you are at the max length for many boondocking areas (aka “noon docking”) with the WInnebago…and I am a Winnie fan.
  • As a generalization, Winnies are usually considered superior to Forest River products. That said, either can be either good or bad on any individual unit.
    Look at both carefully, look for fit of cabinetry, materials used, plywood vs particle board, hardwood vs plywood etc, then decide.
    Generally freestanding furnishings are better than built in. Appliances will likely be comparable. Depending on how you intend to camp, tank sizes may become important.
    If you are looking at new, you may want to compare warranties.
    Happy hunting
