2017page=2page=2 WINNEBAGO Minnie reviews

We have owned our trailer now for 7 years . We usually take it out west to Colorado & Utah from Florida every other year for 2-3 weeks. We tow with a Ram 1500 & tows very easily behind it. Through the years we have put tires on it fixed a small roof leak ourselves and just recently put a new water pump in. But overall it was warm in the cold camping , cold in the hot camping & for the most part everything worked most of the time. Replaced AC after 3 years but overall we have a had a great time with this trailer! Show less

We purchased this unit brand new. We were looking at other models but we thought Winnebago had a much better quality so we paid almost $5,000 more thinking that we were going to get a better unit. A soft spot in the floor developed. So I researched it and found that that model between 2015 in 2019 had that issue. We brought our unit to a Winnebago dealer. They looked at the issue and said it was not from water leaking in. When we asked Winnebago what they could do for it they told us nothing. It is clearly a defect in the way it was built. They have fixed others on a good faith repair who were original owners. They said the warranty had lapsed. Now we're stuck with a $4,000 repair bill. When I called Winnebago to talk about it they brushed me off. They were going to always get back to me after each phone call and never did. Marquardt RV in Oregon Wisconsin lookrf the unit over and did their best to get Winnebago to fix the issue. Markquart RV was excellent to work with. This will be the last Winnebago we ever buy.

We looked for a long time for a travel trailer with an excellent and spacious layout. I have to say that HANDS DOWN this model has the best layout I've ever seen. It was very spacious and very well thought out. The bathroom was spacious with a generous area for dressing and shaving. The super slide and the dinette made it very livable and inviting. The bedroom has just enough space for both people to get in and out of the bed from their respective sides. The problem with this model and year is that it LEAKS. BADLY. We had it brand new and a few months after owning it the leaks developed from the bedroom side of the trailer. The leak was so bad it damaged the interior walls, the closets, the storage below, etc. The warranty department informed us that NONE of the Winnebago products are warranted against leaks. We finally got it repaired and then it leaked AGAIN in the same spot. Evidently, there is some design and manufacturing flaw with the endcap of the trailer and the attachment. We had it repaired AGAIN, and then we sold it for a major loss. Will never buy a Winnebago Travel Trailer again. Show less

This is the perfect trailer for a family with small kids. It was our first trailer and very easy to understand all the systems and super light/easy to tow. We used ours a lot in six years and everything was surprisingly durable — just don’t let your 7 year old try to swing from the bedroom cabinet door. The black tank release valve failed (got stuck) so we had to replace that (apparently it’s common on Micro Minnies), and we had to replace the axle because the folks at Discount Tire placed the jack in the wrong location while replacing the tires. Other than that (which wasn’t Winnebago’s fault), it’s been an awesome trailer and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone wanting something small, comfortable and easy to tow. Show less

Adding to below first trip this year and no hot water trouble shoot via internet control board pooched $200 on eBay I will never purchase a Winnebago again poor service even worse quality -Expensive JUNK every time we have used this camper something has broke or failed Show less

This is a very comfortable travel trailer. Easy to pull and maneuver. Easy to keep clean and cool. Controls easy to use with multi-use control for heating and cooling. This is a perfect fit for any couple with small children. Show less

This was the most reliable RV we have ever owned. We bought the extended warranty but never had to use it because it was so well-built. After researching multiple brands the Winnebago was the one with the best options and reliability. I’m glad we purchased it. It’s very easy to drive and navigate up hills. Show less

2017 bought new in 2018 First trip lost both hose caps from bumper, 2nd trip toilet valve leaked, 3rd trip window shade fell off the wall, 4th trip furnace wouldn’t light, 5th trip bathroom door slide fell apart!! Anyone want to buy a used Winnebago, will never buy another! Show less

The side wall on one side of our blue trailer is badly faded and the decal looks like it has rusted. I have never seen a camper at any age look this bad. Neither Winnebago nor the dealer will do anything for us. Their warranty states that dark colored side walls must be washed and waxed every three months. Also, the camper must be moved frequently so that the sun does not always hit the same side of the trailer. The idea of washing and waxing a camper every three months is ridiculous. Had I read the warranty, I would have taken my money elsewhere. Show less

The Micro Minnie 1700BH is a great travel trailer for a family looking for something light but with all the space and functionality. It fits a family of 5 easily and it is very easy to tow. You can see the excellent quality of Winnebago products on this camper. The only thing we didn't like is the lever system used for the sewer drainage, but we learned it is pretty standard. I would recommend this camper to others. Show less
