‌our Winnebago Minnie 2801bhs Review From Top To Bottom

Exterior

Let’s start with the exterior of the Winnebago Minnie 2801BHS. Right off the bat, there are some impressive features that indicate a lot of thought went into the design of this compact camper. 

‌

‌The front cap is gel-coated fiberglass, which is super durable and looks great. Of course, the Winnebago name is emblazoned across the front so there's no mistaking the brand — this will also signal to other Winnebago drivers that you're a member of the exclusive club.

The front end of the Minnie is rounded out with two 20-pound propane tanks and rack space for a 12-volt interstate battery.

First is a lighted pass-through storage compartment — Winnebago found ways to add extra storage areas seemingly everywhere on the Minnie — that’s perfect for stowing larger items like a portable grill and lawn chairs. This compartment is also where you’ll see that the Minnie is pre-wired for solar power. LED lighting is installed in this area as well so you can easily see what you've got stowed inside. 

‌

‌Further down the exterior, a nice big awning opens up to provide shade and cover for outdoor lounging, which you’ll be doing a lot of considering you have the option for an outside TV hookup and speakers for blasting your favorite music. And we haven’t even touched on the outdoor kitchen yet. 

‌

‌Speaking of which, you have everything you need for outdoor cookouts at your fingertips, from a two-burner cooktop to counter space and a fully functional sink with hot and cold water. A
