system. The A/C is diffused through the ceiling from a roof-mounted 13.5K Btu unit. Two nice/smart features I noted here are the windows (two) in the walls above the counter space (nice, natural light) and a roof vent right above the cooking station. This arrangement will let you have ample through- ventilation while cooking. The powered range hood then need only be used during inclement weather. I want to mention here that there are five floorplans available in this trailer footprint. Each has a different lifestyle emphasis. Two offer bunk beds, while one features a huge rear-of-trailer bath. I expect that whatever your current life circumstance, one of these will work for you. However, I wouldn’t call this a full- timers unit. Instead it’s more of a family adventure unit; one that may stray off the beaten path more often than some of the larger, heavier units. So the ability to dry-camp in the Minnie is important. What backs up my impression here are the 15-inch off- road tires running on a lifted axle. Those are also torsion axles rated at 3,700 pounds each. Additionally the unit comes prepped to accept a solar charger and panels. The TV antenna comes with a signal booster and the holding tanks are enclosed and heated. The grey water tank is oversized and the propane capacity is also increased.
for assisting your kids (who don’t want to shower). This bath also has a skylight in the shower and a roof vent. Speaking of guests, the dinette is placed in the slide- out—it converts to a two-person bed while the four- person coach opposite it flips open for another sleeping position; all made possible by the floor space freed up by the slide-out. So, sleeping six is not so Minnie—is it. The private front bedroom features a queen bed with access on either side—though a bit of climbing is involved. There is a hanging closet on either side and two large screened windows. Above is another vent (three in the trailer total) that should create a nice nighttime breeze. The kitchen makes good use of the space offered by the whole rear of the trailer spilling over into an L-shape. This design adds some welcome counter space for food prep and cleanup in the corner of the unit—surrounding the double sink in the middle of the countertop. The appliances are built-in to the rear wall of the RV— starting with the gas/electric refrigerator next to the stainless-steel oven with three-burner flush mount top. Above it is a microwave (also stainless steel) and an exhaust range hood. Every other available space in the L-shape is devoted to cupboards and drawers. This space also houses the 18K Btu furnace and 6-gallon hot water
