hey, just found your videos, and love them! my wife and I are full-time RV-livers ourselves (we have a 1993 bounder and a 2007 timberlodge.) like you said, it's very important to find the right RV for you! hope you ladies keep on keepin' on.
Watched your videos and they were very helpful in deciding to get my Winnebago Micro Minnie 2106 FBS. It’s blue just like yours & we love it! You two are adorable and love seeing your videos. Keep filming new ones!
We have a red 2017 Micro Minnie 2106DS (towed by a red pickup) and it’s been working out great. The layout, size, and good workmanship is what sold us on this trailer. I’m glad your modifications have worked out so well for you. Have fun on your travels. 😃
For the first three RV trips we made, we were in a 29' fifth wheel. For those three trips, we got pull through sites. After that third trip, Sharon said she thought backing in would be easier than trying to get the fifth wheel straight enough to unhitch it.
Congratulations! It is so wonderful to see how much you truly love you RV!. Great job with the modifications and utilization of every nook and cranny while not seeming crowded. Happy travels!!
hello from greers ferry, ark!! less is better!! i installed a door to access my hot water tank. cooking,cleaning and washing outside is what makes camping enjoyable! i use my clam tent alot to store and relax in when the bugs are hungry! thanks for sharing your set up and useful tips as usuall. Grace be with you!
In our Coachmen Freedom express the water heater sets behind a fake door that had screws holding it on. After a couple of times taking it on and off I add hinges to it. They should have been there in the first place.
I am happy to hear that you are loving your RV. It seems that a big part of it is that you modified it to suit your needs. You were talking about getting rid of the RV table. It always amazes me that you have these tiny little campers with huge dinettes. My Casita dinette would sit 4 or maybe even 6 if I used it instead of making that my bed space. Safe travels ladies.
April, I don't know how I missed this comment, but I did. I know what you mean about the dinettes. They take up space that could be much more useful. \
Even as a single, I would have any Queen bed divided into twin beds for when anyone would be traveling with me. I am so happy to see this as I've tho't of it many times, but have never seen anyone actually do it! Thanks for showing us!
It has worked so well for us. Even for couples, if they are in a small RV twin beds will keep them from waking each other if they get up during the night.
We are ready to upgrade. We've had our Autumn Ridge for two years love it but the one thing is the table is the size of an ironing board and sofa narrow. We went looking yesterday looking and looked at a micro minnie I told husband this is it. I have an awesome hubby but he WOW agreed with me lmao.
I enjoyed your video! Thanks for the overview after spending a year to really get to know all about the camper. I think Winnebago must have watched your video and your twin bed idea. I noticed they now offer a Micro Minnie model with two twin beds! (Model 2108TB). Keep on with your great travels and good times!
The companies need to realize there is a great need for twin bed plans. Even married couples might not always want to sleep together, and travel mates are often not going to sleep together. I shudder when i see reviews with one huge bed after another. Besides, like you two did, twin beds can be another place to hang out. The wardrobe cabinet between the beds was genius.
“...and the steps make it easier for those of us who’ve had a hip replacement.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You’re so funny! Made my day. Thank you! Love your videos. 👏👏👏👏
Just saw this because I’ve been looking at the Micro Minis. If I ever get another camper I think these would be at the top of the list, however, I suspect they cost more than the other brands. BTW, propane tanks are designated by their weight not volume. They make 20, 30 and 40 POUND cylinders, not gallons. I think a lot of the new small campers are using 20 pounders. The best size is 30 which last a lot longer - which is what I had with 100 pounders when parked stationary at my long term site.
@@TwoTiredTeachers how much did you pay for it used? We are looking at a 2018 2106DS Micro Minnie but they want 23k for it before tax, so almost 25k total. We are trying to determine if we should keep looking for a better deal or take it. Thanks!
@@invaliduser1d You ask a hard question. With Covid RV sales are up. Dealers can ask whatever they want. Tomorrow I'll ask Sharon if she remembers how much we paid, but just know that it's a really different market now.
Dan, I asked Sharon how much we paid, and we discussed it. Our best recollection is $21,000. I don't know if $25, 000 is a good price for today's market. Remember, you will probably want to replace the tires on it, and that's another chunk of change.
Awesome review! I'm hoping we are as pleased with our new RV as much as y'all are yours! We'll see......if we can ever get her on the road. 😄 But I think we will be as pleased. Our layout is very similar to yours, as well as the size. However, ours is wider so I hope we don't have issues with that. God bless and keep you safe! ❤
Peggy, I wouldn't worry about the width; I doubt it's any wider than your last one. We're waiting until March to hit the road. We are hoping you love yours, and we're eager to hear about your adventures.
Been following you lady's recently and you have too many liquid containers/cups lol But love how you're keeping it real. That one item you mention "the extra counter space in front of the sink" I would have never thought about that THANK YOU! We are leaning towards the Winn 21 (2020)due to quality for the price and width " I like that it's only 7'ft wide. Less wind resistance and easier maneuvering. A foot can mean allot for some especially full-timers. Also, it's not that heavy for a camper of its size. The Winn lacks some interior style and lame placement of the LED, the interior is little dated for my taste but yet that's OK. The exterior is really nice. I'm not there yet, another 7-8 years God Willing? Or may not since I love boating /fishing. Maybe spend summers way up North inside a camper and winters right here Miami, Fla/South Florida. And as for the stuff, just kidding; you're loving retirement. Blessing from Miami, Fla
We do have a lot of cups, glasses, and pitchers; we are sipping tea, water, or sodas from the time we get up until we go to bed. You would be surprised how much difference one foot less in width makes. No one likes road construction, but having a 7' wide trailer makes it so much easier. .I will tell you that our gas mileage increased once we traded the truck for the van. There is less wind resistance with the van. Finally, we are loving retirement. It's the best job either of us has ever had.
2 TT would had never thought about road constructions Another Great Point 👍 Just think once National infrastructure funding gets approved; The 7 wide and smaller trailers will have the advantage. The van sounds great and I get that it cuts allot of wind resistance to the front of the coach and makes sense. Your two are a wealth of information. Thank you .. We leave after work today from Miami, Fla to Tampa, Fla for the Super RV show. We’ll be there all day tomorrow 3.5 hour ride from Miami. Our first stop Winnebago. Have a great weekend.
Tks for review after a year of use. Glad its worked out well for you.This model with queen bed is our top pick. My one hesitation, can I do the setup/ hook unhook etc Solo when hubby can’t join me? and Why considering a Class B. (I’m thinking long haul trips)but like the extra space the Micro Minnie gives. Agree prefer 7’ width. Happy for you two, great to see sisterly love😊 enjoy your channel Tks.
About hitching and unhitching solo, Sharon does 99% of our hitching and unhitching by herself. It is very doable. If you decide on a Micro Minnie with a queen, I need to tell you that you will have almost no room on the wall side and the end of the bed. Also, whatever you decide on, stand in the shower to see if it's tall enough to accommodate your husband. The ceiling is not at all high. Sharon and I have no trouble, but we're only about 5'6". Class Bs are wonderful and roomier than you might think. One reason we didn't consider one is the cost. They don't come cheap. We saw a great used one, but it was more than $80,000. We hope you find your perfect RV.
Thank you for the reply! My wife and I are looking at getting a 1708fb and we will need to get a van too. We have a couple of recumbent trikes we ride and want those with us when we travel so a van works much better than a pickup for that. Love your content. Be safe, Wes.
@@weztankersley2293 Be sure to measure the bikes and the space in the van. We have the RadMini Step-Thru 2 bikes. We travel with mine folded and Sharon's open except for the handlebars. We fold those. Our van came equipped with shelving and with the bikes stowed the way we do it, we still have an aisle.
I’ve been shopping for a while now maybe 1 year, just can’t find what I want well I find what I want but the prices are too high, I guess I’ll keep shopping, it’s between the Winnebago 2108DS , geo pro
If it helps any, we always look for used. We didn't limit ourselves to one model because we new we could make renovations. I'm not sure where you are, but Kennedale Camper Sales in Kennedale, TX, near Arlington has the cleanest used RVs you will ever find. Our first one came from them. They do list their inventory online. We also looked at RV Trader often. If nothing else, it gave us ideas about what we might like.
I am really enjoying the content of your video and your fun personalities! Reminds me of my sisters. Keep it up! I am still searching for my first RV. The perspective, the can-do attitude and the lessons learned are providing the confidence I need to purchase a pull along. The biblical messages are icing on the cake! Q: How well does the heater & A/C work to keep you and the pets comfortable? And, How much problem does the low clearance cause you when driving, dumping, leveling, etc.? Thx again! I look forward to your continued adventures. :) "We can never know ourselves without knowing God. And our knowledge of God comes not as a result of striving to know Him but from letting Him reveal Himself to us. We know because we are known." from Every Day with Jesus by Selwyn Hughes day 253.
The heater and AC work great. It's the end of March and already the temperature is 90+. We are comfortable. In the winter, the propane heater or just a space heater will keep us warm. Good luck in finding your perfect RV.
Seems like you are just sisters and having a great time. Glad to see that but I first thought this relationship did not look good. Forgive me if I misjudged.
Well they don't make them like they use too 1968 wow it will never last that long. The way they make them so lite they just fall apart. Tell us in a few years how your shower is doing. The wood will rot out
That is his crate. His bed is in there. He loves it and puts himself in there after long walks and at bed time. I agree, crates should not be used for punishment, but as a safe, stress free zone for pets. Thanks for watching.
Hi, Been looking at so many rv's for 4, but not to big or too small. We are thinking of the this, but with the bunks. We keep going back to Winnebago. Thank you for your review. How are the nuts & bolts after a year of use? Just curious. Thank you.
Back in your bedroom above your beds in between your closets there is a box some type of an electric component hanging there can you tell me what that is we see the meter to the right of it that read your solar but we’re trying to figure out what the other box is looks like about 5 inches wide 8 inches tall so did you sell your stove and oven unit another question was your lights LED and with your shower floor is it solid or does it give?
The box above the closet has to do with the solar. It's the solar charge controller. We gave the stove and oven to the man who installed the solar for us. The lights are LED, and the shower floor is solid, but it does flex a bit.
@@janetcofell8740 Yes. If the forecast calls for it to be hot, we leave AC on for Theo and Patches. Also, I want to mention again the City Kitty. It is so wonderful for Patches to use the toilet. We don't have a litter box in the RV, and I don't have one in my house.
hello Ladies! great video. I'm the guy with the old 1968 Winnebago. I was honored and tickled to see it in your video. you gals keep having fun and doing videos.
hello from the snowy ozarks milena and sharon! awesome camper! love the spacious room inside with the sides in. just pull over and easy access to frige and toilet. now with covid toilets are tricky to find. love the double axles with 14in. tires that gives extra support. i agree having the step ladders in front of the axles is an asset. how are the bath vinyl curtains holding up? and the shower exhaust fan. i like less is better with bed arrengement. i like being able to segregate between beds! great set up! tight lines and grace be with you!
The shower curtain did have a small tear. We don't know if it was caused by dog, cat, or human. Sharon got some gorilla tape, I think, and repaired it. The exhaust fan is working like it's supposed to. It's the perfect set up for us and our animals.
I have a 2016 2106fbs. I absolutely love it. I love the idea of taking out the oven/stove top i very very rarely use it, I always use a electric skillet so you got me thinking !
We had to reset it once, but that's the only problem we've had. This past year we have been gone for the equivalence of 4 months, never staying in one place for more than 4 nights (except for one stay of 6 nights). After resetting on the first trip of the year, we've had no problem.
Would you still buy it again or recommend the Micro Minnie 1708FB? Is the quality holding up?I got rid of my 2018 Sale Cruise Lite by Forest River, very cheaply made! Very poor quality. I am looking at one - 2021 1708 FB. I think they stop making the 1706.
I love your unit also. 99.5% of the time its just me, as the grannies grown. but I keep wanting to have at least a bunk set if the younger boys want to camp with grannie! Thank you for sharing.
Could not find the original interior tour, love the white interior, where is the water tank, and who did the modifications? I love love love making the double into twin beds. That is perfect!
The water tank is in the bathroom under the sink. For the originals, go to the beginning of the video. See the little "i" in the upper right corner? If you click on that, we have two videos. The first is the trailer as it was when we first bought it. The second is the modifications. Bates Handyman Services did the renovations. Billy had never worked on an RV before we took ours to him.
So glad we found you! We are 2 tired soon-to-be-retired grandparents of 12 with a dream of touring the country in a travel trailer. After viewing this video we think we have found the perfect trailer for US. You did a really impressive job of explaining the how and why of the layout and modifications- we would have passed this trailer by because of the bed and lack of counter space, but now we see that simple modifications can make a huge difference. Would you mind sharing how you found someone to do the modifications?
I worked with a woman whose husband does renovations on homes. I felt sure he could do the RV, and he was willing to try although he had never done an RV. We are very pleased with his work. Ask friends for recommendations. I'd do that rather than randomly calling someone.
Most excellent review....Lots of tidbits of important info!!....Tryin' to decide between this Minni Winnie and a Gulfstream Vintage17SCD....Have checked out many others, but these 2 are the ones that resonate....Thanks, kids.....Happy trekkin'..... ;o)
My dad made a cover for the stove using a square piece of wood with four short dowels for legs. And they use the oven for a bit of storage. Nice job on the camper. I’m hoping my Tacoma will pull one. They say it’ll do 6400 lbs 🤞
There needs to be more reviews like this about this Camper, i wish i would have seen these kind of reviews before i wasted my money on a POS rockwood geopro 19fbs.
when purchasing an RV for the family I had two main criteria. 1st was I wanted to be able to purchase cash. Second, I did not want to have to purchase a new vehicle to pull it. ( I have a 1500 chevy truck I use for home depot runs for work.) I was able to purchase a 16 foot trailer (was surprised that the smaller the trailer the more it cost in many cases!) We love it. I hadn't thought about a small trailer being an advantage until I started booking sites. Our trailer and most times truck too can fit in any spot including tent sites.
I liked the space of the fifth wheel, but I hated the steps. With the smaller size, we should have no problem at national parks, and that's important to us.
We learned that shortly after getting the Micro Minnie. We had to call customer service for some reason. A real person answered and talked with us about the situation, and he stayed in the phone until he was sure he had answered any and all questions we had about the Micro Minnie.
Great video! How well does it work for you? That's valuable information to share how well it worked for YOU! Here's what and why, etc. we love this RV! The idea that you could remodel into twin beds and take stuff you don't use for more room in the kitchen is great!
We have the same model (color too) and are at the one year mark as well. I like a lot of the modifications you made. Now you've got me thinking about removing the oven and microwave and putting in more storage. A comment about the color - we mostly camp and in very woodsy campgrounds. While it is obviously and very different color for camper, it's fun to tell people "the blue camper" and they know right where you are and being a dark color, it blends into the background .
Believe it or not, we were at Fairfield State Park, and saw a trailer that looked exactly like ours. We were in a different camping loop, but we had someone stop and ask us if we'd changed sites.
We love the pets, too. Unfortunately, Sharon had to have Abby euthanized earlier this week. She'd known the time was coming, but it was still sad for us.
Hello ladies thanks for the update I love watching your videos I have a 2108 TB micro mini Winnebago and I love it hope you both have an adventurous and blessed year ahead God bless you both..Joy
Loved hearing that you found "the one". It is rare to hear that you are still in love a year later. : ) So helpful to hear those things that have made this trailer perfect for you both. Wishing you many many more adventures in YOUR perfect RV. Can't wait to see where you will go!
Love following you guys! We find your detailed videos so informative. Seems like you really enjoy what you are doing! ;-) We have yet to choose a trailer so found your review very helpful!
We're not full time, but we do travel quite a bit, and we thoroughly enjoy it. Good luck with finding a trailer that is right for you. if you are tall, I encourage you to stand in the shower to see that you have plenty of head room.
That's such a great ideas about the dog water bowl in the shower!
It keeps a lot of the doggie drips off the floor.
@@TwoTiredTeachers Drives me nuts so I love that!
hey, just found your videos, and love them! my wife and I are full-time RV-livers ourselves (we have a 1993 bounder and a 2007 timberlodge.) like you said, it's very important to find the right RV for you! hope you ladies keep on keepin' on.
@@rav3ndust Very cool. Our plans are to keep on keeping on. Welcome to Two Tired Teachers.
And it fits the pets well also
It's been purrfect (a little cat humor) for our pets.😸
Saw a red one that was faded to pink only on one side!! lucky your is blue. nice trailer thoe
I think that's why Winnebago quit using the colors like red and blue.
“The prettiest thing in here is that cat.” ❤ Thanks for your updates and reviews. I always enjoy watching your videos.
That is my beautiful cat named Patches. Thanks for commenting about her.
Watched your videos and they were very helpful in deciding to get my Winnebago Micro Minnie 2106 FBS. It’s blue just like yours & we love it! You two are adorable and love seeing your videos. Keep filming new ones!
Thank you so much for watching.
We have a red 2017 Micro Minnie 2106DS (towed by a red pickup) and it’s been working out great. The layout, size, and good workmanship is what sold us on this trailer. I’m glad your modifications have worked out so well for you. Have fun on your travels. 😃
Hey,, Gail. The red truck and trailer must look great together. I hope our paths cross someday.
Hope our paths cross someday too. We like to visit our state parks here in Texas so we’ll keep our eyes open for your blue trailer. 😃
Gail, I didn't realized you were here in TX. Always nice to meet another Texan.
Very happy to see your Winnebago is working out well for you both. I really like your twin bed modification!
it is perfect for us. We love it.
When you park at rv park do you have to back it up?
For the first three RV trips we made, we were in a 29' fifth wheel. For those three trips, we got pull through sites. After that third trip, Sharon said she thought backing in would be easier than trying to get the fifth wheel straight enough to unhitch it.
Howdy
Hey.
Thank you for this review
You are most welcome.
Congratulations! It is so wonderful to see how much you truly love you RV!. Great job with the modifications and utilization of every nook and cranny while not seeming crowded.
Happy travels!!
We truly love it. It wouldn't work for everyone, but it's perfect for us.
Great video we are buying the same type of trailer as yours tomorrow. Moving down from a 36 foot 5th wheel!
We hope you enjoy yours as much as we're enjoying ours.
hello from greers ferry, ark!! less is better!! i installed a door to access my hot water tank. cooking,cleaning and washing outside is what makes camping enjoyable! i use my clam tent alot to store and relax in when the bugs are hungry! thanks for sharing your set up and useful tips as usuall.

We do love our travel trailer. I think the access to the hot water tank is our only complaint.
In our Coachmen Freedom express the water heater sets behind a fake door that had screws holding it on. After a couple of times taking it on and off I add hinges to it. They should have been there in the first place.
The hinges are a good idea. Thanks.

We wouldn't have gotten one with the twins because we wanted a sofa rather than the dinette. We do love what we have.
I like the mods to the floor plan. Glad you're happy with your RV.
Traveling with a cat and a dog, we needed somewhere for each of them. The modifications have worked beautifully for us.
The companies need to realize there is a great need for twin bed plans. Even married couples might not always want to sleep together, and travel mates are often not going to sleep together.

What model of micro minnie is this ?
It's a 2106 FBS. I think we mentioned the renovations we made in the video.
Thank you Gals! We have decided on this model. Murphy bed dual axle. Love the NY Giant Blue.
As Dallas Cowboy fans, we don't really love much having to do with the Giants. 😉
Wow love your new trailer 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Thank you. Of course, I think she's absolutely adorable.
Nice video. I have a question regarding slide out : do you get any leaks during heavy rain on the slide out portion and floor?
We haven't had any leaks at all, and we've been in some heavy rain.

Great 1st year review! Which van do you have for your tow vehicle and how is that while towing?
We have a Nissan NV 3500, and it tows so nicely. Rarely do we even feel the trailer behind us.

@@weztankersley2293 Be sure to measure the bikes and the space in the van. We have the RadMini Step-Thru 2 bikes. We travel with mine folded and Sharon's open except for the handlebars. We fold those. Our van came equipped with shelving and with the bikes stowed the way we do it, we still have an aisle.
I’ve been shopping for a while now maybe 1 year, just can’t find what I want well I find what I want but the prices are too high, I guess I’ll keep shopping, it’s between the Winnebago 2108DS , geo pro
If it helps any, we always look for used. We didn't limit ourselves to one model because we new we could make renovations.
I'm not sure where you are, but Kennedale Camper Sales in Kennedale, TX, near Arlington has the cleanest used RVs you will ever find. Our first one came from them. They do list their inventory online.
We also looked at RV Trader often. If nothing else, it gave us ideas about what we might like.
I am really enjoying the content of your video and your fun personalities! Reminds me of my sisters. Keep it up!
I am still searching for my first RV. The perspective, the can-do attitude and the lessons learned are providing the confidence I need to purchase a pull along. The biblical messages are icing on the cake!
Q: How well does the heater & A/C work to keep you and the pets comfortable? And, How much problem does the low clearance cause you when driving, dumping, leveling, etc.?
Thx again! I look forward to your continued adventures. :)
"We can never know ourselves without knowing God. And our knowledge of God comes not as a result of striving to know Him but from letting Him reveal Himself to us. We know because we are known." from Every Day with Jesus by Selwyn Hughes day 253.
The heater and AC work great. It's the end of March and already the temperature is 90+. We are comfortable. In the winter, the propane heater or just a space heater will keep us warm.
Good luck in finding your perfect RV.
3019? wow ya'll have aged well!
You know it. LOL
Seems like you are just sisters and having a great time. Glad to see that but I first thought this relationship did not look good. Forgive me if I misjudged.
We try to remember to put that on the screen at the beginning of each video. You are not the first to make that mistake.
@@TwoTiredTeachers well I hope I did not offend you two. Glad to see you are enjoying your retirement.!!!!!
@@saintpirate We taught high school, so we're not easily offended. 😉 We both love retirement.
@@TwoTiredTeachers Here's how I think of it: "If you liked recess, you'll love retirement!" I'd bet two teachers can relate to that. Hee hee.
Well they don't make them like they use too 1968 wow it will never last that long. The way they make them so lite they just fall apart. Tell us in a few years how your shower is doing. The wood will rot out
We're hoping, like everyone, for no problems.
You have a little dog in a cage shame on you ❗❗❗❗❗❗
That is his crate. His bed is in there. He loves it and puts himself in there after long walks and at bed time.
I agree, crates should not be used for punishment, but as a safe, stress free zone for pets.
Thanks for watching.
Have you had to make any interior repairs (things coming loose) or leaks?
We replaced a water pump. Other than that, I can't think of things on the inside that have been repaired.
Hi,
Been looking at so many rv's for 4, but not to big or too small. We are thinking of the this, but with the bunks. We keep going back to Winnebago. Thank you for your review. How are the nuts & bolts after a year of use? Just curious. Thank you.
We've had it for over two years, and we love it. Look at our 2 year review.
Back in your bedroom above your beds in between your closets there is a box some type of an electric component hanging there can you tell me what that is we see the meter to the right of it that read your solar but we’re trying to figure out what the other box is looks like about 5 inches wide 8 inches tall so did you sell your stove and oven unit another question was your lights LED and with your shower floor is it solid or does it give?
The box above the closet has to do with the solar. It's the solar charge controller. We gave the stove and oven to the man who installed the solar for us. The lights are LED, and the shower floor is solid, but it does flex a bit.
I am wondering about your screens. Does your cat claw at them?
We have 3 cats and are shopping around for an RV.
if the beautiful cat plucks at it or scratches it, she gets squirted with water and she quits.
Good point. What do you do when you go out for a bike ride? Do you leave your windows open and leave pets inside RV as long as it is cool enough?
@@janetcofell8740 Yes. If the forecast calls for it to be hot, we leave AC on for Theo and Patches.
Also, I want to mention again the City Kitty. It is so wonderful for Patches to use the toilet. We don't have a litter box in the RV, and I don't have one in my house.
What is the model of your TV?
It's a Vizio.
hello Ladies! great video. I'm the guy with the old 1968 Winnebago. I was honored and tickled to see it in your video. you gals keep having fun and doing videos.
Cool. Sharon loved getting to talk with you, and I wish I had.
that is awesome
Neat. How is your '68 W holding up? It is adorable!
Y'all need a Berky water filtration system 3.5gal. it will help w/carring water bottles..
We'll look into that. Thanks.
Thank You. Just bought a MicroMinnie. Looking forward to personalizing it!
We hope it's as perfect for you as ours is for us.
This video was very helpful to me in shopping for my camper. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
hello from the snowy ozarks milena and sharon! awesome camper! love the spacious room inside with the sides in. just pull over and easy access to frige and toilet. now with covid toilets are tricky to find. love the double axles with 14in. tires that gives extra support. i agree having the step ladders in front of the axles is an asset. how are the bath vinyl curtains holding up? and the shower exhaust fan. i like less is better with bed arrengement. i like being able to segregate between beds! great set up! tight lines and grace be with you!
The shower curtain did have a small tear. We don't know if it was caused by dog, cat, or human. Sharon got some gorilla tape, I think, and repaired it. The exhaust fan is working like it's supposed to. It's the perfect set up for us and our animals.
@@TwoTiredTeachers it would be my choice too!! thanks for your reply. tight lines and grabe be with you!
I have a 2016 2106fbs. I absolutely love it. I love the idea of taking out the oven/stove top i very very rarely use it, I always use a electric skillet so you got me thinking !
It give so much more room in the kitchen.
Any reliability issue with the slide so far? I prefer no slide but cannot get a murphy bed in a smaller unit (20 feet, 1708FB) that has no slide.
We had to reset it once, but that's the only problem we've had. This past year we have been gone for the equivalence of 4 months, never staying in one place for more than 4 nights (except for one stay of 6 nights). After resetting on the first trip of the year, we've had no problem.
Would you still buy it again or recommend the Micro Minnie 1708FB? Is the quality holding up?I got rid of my 2018 Sale Cruise Lite by Forest River, very cheaply made! Very poor quality.
I am looking at one - 2021 1708 FB. I think they stop making the 1706.
We have the 2106 FBS, and with the modifications we made, we would definitely buy it again.
I love your unit also. 99.5% of the time its just me, as the grannies grown. but I keep wanting to have at least a bunk set if the younger boys want to camp with grannie! Thank you for sharing.
If we had grandchildren, we would want beds for them, too.
Could not find the original interior tour, love the white interior, where is the water tank, and who did the modifications? I love love love making the double into twin beds. That is perfect!
The water tank is in the bathroom under the sink.
For the originals, go to the beginning of the video. See the little "i" in the upper right corner? If you click on that, we have two videos. The first is the trailer as it was when we first bought it. The second is the modifications. Bates Handyman Services did the renovations. Billy had never worked on an RV before we took ours to him.
So glad we found you! We are 2 tired soon-to-be-retired grandparents of 12 with a dream of touring the country in a travel trailer. After viewing this video we think we have found the perfect trailer for US. You did a really impressive job of explaining the how and why of the layout and modifications- we would have passed this trailer by because of the bed and lack of counter space, but now we see that simple modifications can make a huge difference.
Would you mind sharing how you found someone to do the modifications?
I worked with a woman whose husband does renovations on homes. I felt sure he could do the RV, and he was willing to try although he had never done an RV. We are very pleased with his work.
Ask friends for recommendations. I'd do that rather than randomly calling someone.
Most excellent review....Lots of tidbits of important info!!....Tryin' to decide between this Minni Winnie and a Gulfstream Vintage17SCD....Have checked out many others, but these 2 are the ones that resonate....Thanks, kids.....Happy trekkin'..... ;o)
We can't really help you there except to tell you the we love our Micro Minnie.
My dad made a cover for the stove using a square piece of wood with four short dowels for legs. And they use the oven for a bit of storage. Nice job on the camper. I’m hoping my Tacoma will pull one. They say it’ll do 6400 lbs 🤞
I think ours loaded weighed about 5,000 pounds.
There needs to be more reviews like this about this Camper, i wish i would have seen these kind of reviews before i wasted my money on a POS rockwood geopro 19fbs.
Sorry you aren't pleased with your Geo Pro. We have looked at them just because we really like looking at different RVs.
You two are awesome!!! 👏👏👏 Always informative!!! 👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing. 👋👋👋
Comments like yours make our day!
when purchasing an RV for the family I had two main criteria. 1st was I wanted to be able to purchase cash. Second, I did not want to have to purchase a new vehicle to pull it. ( I have a 1500 chevy truck I use for home depot runs for work.) I was able to purchase a 16 foot trailer (was surprised that the smaller the trailer the more it cost in many cases!) We love it. I hadn't thought about a small trailer being an advantage until I started booking sites. Our trailer and most times truck too can fit in any spot including tent sites.
Exactly. Ours does the same. We really love the smaller one.
I think it's great that smaller turned out to be better for you. With two people living in one space, you'd think it'd be the opposite.
I liked the space of the fifth wheel, but I hated the steps. With the smaller size, we should have no problem at national parks, and that's important to us.
Winnebago does a great job on their products , they aren't perfect but what is! Also Winnebago customer service is very good.
We learned that shortly after getting the Micro Minnie. We had to call customer service for some reason. A real person answered and talked with us about the situation, and he stayed in the phone until he was sure he had answered any and all questions we had about the Micro Minnie.
We saw this same model at Petit Jeane State Park this weekend. So cool.
Very cool. One of these days we will get to Petit Jeane State Park. We've heard great things about it.
Great video!
How well does it work for you? That's valuable information to share how well it worked for YOU! Here's what and why, etc. we love this RV!
The idea that you could remodel into twin beds and take stuff you don't use for more room in the kitchen is great!
We love the Micro Minnie with the modifications. It works beautifully for us.
Thanks for your comment,
Thank you for review. Where do you put the litter box? We have 3 cats and want to take them with us.
My cat is toilet trained, so I don't have any litter boxes. I used the City Kitty to train her; you can find it on Amazon for about $25.
@@TwoTiredTeachers Thank you. How do you transport her/him in your vehicle? A carrier or do you let her/him roam?
@@janetcofell8740 I have a carrier she rides in.
We have the same model (color too) and are at the one year mark as well. I like a lot of the modifications you made. Now you've got me thinking about removing the oven and microwave and putting in more storage. A comment about the color - we mostly camp and in very woodsy campgrounds. While it is obviously and very different color for camper, it's fun to tell people "the blue camper" and they know right where you are and being a dark color, it blends into the background .
Believe it or not, we were at Fairfield State Park, and saw a trailer that looked exactly like ours. We were in a different camping loop, but we had someone stop and ask us if we'd changed sites.
💜💜💜 We live fulltime on the road and have been looking at Micro Minnie’s. Thanks for the detailed walk through. Can’t wait to find a Winnie of our own
After we made some modifications, it was perfect for the two of us, Sharon's dog, and my cat.
Very informative. I enjoyed the video- thank you for quickly talking about the Westinghouse generator.
Thank you so much.
Great review. Love the pets.
We love the pets, too. Unfortunately, Sharon had to have Abby euthanized earlier this week. She'd known the time was coming, but it was still sad for us.
@@TwoTiredTeachers So sorry to hear that. God bless you.
@@wvevie7612 Thank you so much.
Great video!! Looking for a 2108ds for ourselves.
We made some modifications so it would fit our needs, but it's perfect for us. We hope you find one that is perfect for you.
Hello ladies thanks for the update I love watching your videos I have a 2108 TB micro mini Winnebago and I love it hope you both have an adventurous and blessed year ahead God bless you both..Joy
Joy, we are thrilled with our modified Micro Minnie. It's perfect for us.
Loved hearing that you found "the one". It is rare to hear that you are still in love a year later. : ) So helpful to hear those things that have made this trailer perfect for you both.
Wishing you many many more adventures in YOUR perfect RV. Can't wait to see where you will go!
Thank you so much. We are hoping to have this trailer for many more years.
Great Video Ladies! I am thinking about getting a Micro Minnie! Be Safe
Once we did the renovations, it was perfect for us.
Love following you guys! We find your detailed videos so informative. Seems like you really enjoy what you are doing! ;-) We have yet to choose a trailer so found your review very helpful!
We're not full time, but we do travel quite a bit, and we thoroughly enjoy it. Good luck with finding a trailer that is right for you. if you are tall, I encourage you to stand in the shower to see that you have plenty of head room.
@@TwoTiredTeachers Good tip! Thank you so much!
Does your sister get to talk?
I love your minnie! It's so cute and looks so cozy and comfy!!
Taking out the queen bed and stove top and oven made all the difference. An added bonus is the perch for Patches.
