She has been wanting one for a few years. I spend lots of weekends in the woods riding bikes and she stays at home or sits in the truck. She wants to go camp but refuses to stay in a tent.
I have an f150 so we were looking light weight. We’re looking at a Nobo 19.1 toy hauler but the living space was extremely small for a 26’ trailer. We wanted to see a new jayco micro lite setup for off grid camping but they are unobtanium. Dealer showed us these mini Winnie’s and we were sold. Dual solar panels, 3k inverter, power awning, power jacks, lithium battery bank, even good year duratrac tires. Interior is perfect for the two of us and our mutts. It’s set up for off grid. No need for a generator, the solar will run the ac and everything else using the battery bank. I can get my 300 in the bed and toss my trials bike on a hitch carrier on the back of the trailer or I may get a sled deck for the truck.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Beautiful rig! What’s the price of admission? $45k, could have gotten it less maybe if we drove further. You have to pay a bit for the solar and the lithium battery bank. |

Not trying to come off as a dick. They really are nice trailers. But you need to have a good understanding on how they work so you can fix them yourself and save a ton of money and headache. I hope you enjoy it and have a great time with it!

I'd like to interject on OP's behalf, although I don't know OP, or a damn thing about campers.
For those that are implying he paid too much.... Have you bought literally anything lately? Bread, gas, a 2x4, ammo, beef, a house, a car? Nothing is fucking inexpensive. Everything is through the roof. He's got two choices - 1. Pay what it currently costs and enjoy having his wife with him when he's on adventures, or 2. Wait till the price comes down, like that has ever happened with anything. I'm sure there are folks here that could have found a better deal for a quarter of the price, and there are plenty here that will admonish him for paying that price for his new toy, but he already bought it. How about we congratulate him and wish him plenty of good times in his new camper. OP- Assuming you can afford it, good on you! Have fun with it! (I'm assuming there's a door for the shitter, that would be weird if there wasn't  ).

He's way passed the "saving money" part You can make more money... If he and his family have a good time in it, make good memories with it and it makes them happy? Good for them. That would make it worth the expense. I made a living working on them for years. I know the ins and outs.. I saw the anger and pain some of the less knowledgeable customers went through dealing with some of the issues with them. In most cases.. a little common sense and some aptitude on their part would have saved them from those feelings. I also the sheer stupidity that can be done by the manufacturers.

Boy that's a lot of money, but that trailer is really well laid out for it's size, & two axles too.
I like it. I would have to buy one like that used (10yrs. or older), to afford the same thing. |

Be sure and give us a review later after you’ve taken it out. Guess power is mostly for heating or cooling.
