Return to towing..maybe Minnie Plus 26RBSS

We've had a 34' Super C for the last ten years and before that had trailers over 30'. We sold the coach and are returning to towing with an eye toward downsizing. Our target is under 30' partly because of Nat'l and State parks that have set that as their limit. We also want to keep it easier to maintain as we age...which we seem to be doing. Washing and waxing 34' plus is getting too hard along with the height of them.

Sooooo, we're narrowing the search and a Minnie Plus 26RBSS seems to be bubbling to the top of the list. I hate they did so many other things right as far as 4-season package, but left the gate valves fully exposed. Seems an odd oversight. Aside from that, it looks to be a good fit and is well within the tow of our new F150 Ecotec and 10-spd xmsn, rearend, tow package, etc.

Any experience here with the Minnie Plus?

    Thats good to hear!

    We're looking at Winnies, Lance, and Arctic Fox for the most part.

    I'm 6'4" and was able to stand nicely in the shower. A couple other models were a real stretch for me. It's a great bathroom. Our only concern so far is the lack of hanging clothes room.

    I see you have the Blue Ox hitch, how do you like it? I always used Reese dual cam sway control, but the dealer says these are now as good or better. I used Blue Ox to tow my car with so I know they make good gear, but the trailer hitch was new to me.
