Josh , pretty good looking trailer but with all respect to the maker/manufacturer, I hate there is NO kitchen hood vent. They should consider bringing it back.. Thank you for your videos. I always look forward to your video. 🥳
Just bought our 2022 1800bh selling point was this video. Thank you Josh. We drove to Ar from Fl to pick up and camp our way back and are very pleased with our purchase. TY!
Nice sized camper for a small family or couples who want to enjoy the great outdoors and not park on the couch in front of a TV. Plenty of room to sleep, eat indoors on a rainy day and get cleaned up after a day of hiking. Glad to see you critiquing Winnebago’s again!
Still love Winnebago!! My Dad bought one, 20' Brave, in 1973. I went with a bit more off grid, off road model but my heart is still pulled by a Winnie!! They absolutely do a fabulous engineering job. They really maximize every space! Great little unit. Thinking I'll put it on my SIL's radar! He's looking! Lol. Hoping to ratchet that up a notch this summer when I show up in my 5th wheel. I'd hang a net style bathroom organizer on that door, roll hand towels and wash clothes so they are right there in the bathroom! Cargo hold, if you're not punching the space under the dinette, caulk those spaces around the cut outs!! Cold air blowing up and through under the dinette gets cold!!
Nice trailer for a comfortable off-road weekend! Room to move around but no sacrifices on storage! Love all of the high class features all around. The suspension is #goals!! This trailer can go all over the place! Do wish that the stove top had a hood vent or fan. Great video and information Uncle Josh!!
They probably didn't include one there since the big vent fan is 3 feet away. But, it would be nice to have the fan right above the stove so that moisture and smell doesn't go further in to the trailer.
As a idea for under the dinette access: maybe a sliding tray that is used in cabinets? For the wall alongside of the cook top I would order another piece of back splash from Win parts and attach it to the wall or maybe a piece of tempered glass with spacers behind it to attach to the wall. Just a thought :)
I really like Winnebago design and quality. This is a nice little trailer. The one thing that gets me though is the full size bed. Even a camp queen would be better. And the bunks are a little slim. Nice weight capacity, but a little slim at 26”. But then again, my kids are both under 10, so they’d fit, for now.I can’t wait to see more Winnies!
I wouldn't mind seeing a video on different tires used on trailers. I don't recall you doing that before. Just seeing those big Goodyear off-roads on this trailer seemed like an interesting decision. Not necessarily a bad one, just something I have seen much from the factory or dealer.
I wish they had more aluminum framing, like under the bed. The aluminum cross brace under the wood framing of bed, which is screwed to the wall is kind of cheesy. The interior aluminum framing the E/Geo Pro has makes them stand out above the Micro Minnie . The standard "welded I-beam frame" also make the E/Geo Pro stand out above the Minnie Minnie's huck bolted BAL frame. I've seen numerous NORCO brand huck bolt frames crack on the earlier Minnie Micros
Great to see you back in the Winnebagos! Hope your home location can carry them soon… also hoping you got a chance to check out a 2225RL, as that’s my favorite. 😉
I’m still surprised there isn’t more competition in the market for dual axles in this size class. Besides the better ride comfort and safety and easier chocking, it lets them have significantly lower hitch weights that are compatible with a lot more tow vehicles. Other brands should pay attention to that more. I like that they fixed the sharp door handles - that was a crazy design choice and these make way more sense. The white backup lights are another great idea that other brands should mimic. (JayCo does already. Rockwood seems like the obvious next one that ought to be stealing this idea.) I am still bummed they dropped the option for a propane oven. I get not having it standard, but why is it not even available? That’s just dumb. (Also side-eyeing JayCo and Ember here.)
Winnebago are poplar. Will be excited to have you back in the Midwest. I would like to see your review on Forest River’s division of East to West Tandara. There seem to be a lot on Bish’s Quad City lot. :)
Josh: With an east-west bed, this isn’t really retirement grade friendly (2:35). You might still be too young to know but some seniors need to access the head during the night. And being up against the forward bulkhead and climbing over spouse in the middle of the night gets real old real fast. That’s the main reason someone else is now the owner of our Minnie Winnie 1706. And Winnebago might replace those steps with stable steps to be more retirement and senior friendly Respectfully, WS
All of the Minnies I've seen in dealer inventory (locally and online) have the Lippert Stable Steps, not the fold out steps like is shown on the one in this video. The one in the video might be old inventory at a dealer.
I have 2100BH which is slide version of 1800BH. Tendom axel and quality is great but a few thing I think it should improve: 1. Lower bunk no window will make lower bunk very hot no airflow. It should have some sorts of airflow or even tiny window. 2. Cabinet above sink is easy to bump head when you wash dishes or hands. Better to be a little more adjustment for head clearance above sink. 3. The wire operated black and grey tank valve is very fragile and not smooth to operate. With they just have classic gate valve. Other than that, it’s super cool camper!
A Minnie is probably in my future.. this floor plan may work for some but this is missing a comfortable place to sit and relax so dealbreaker for me..Would like to see a review of the Minnie 2529RG.. thanks
Great review! Definitely a benefit of the new dealership partnership is the increase in Brands we get to see! How about reviewing that Hike behind it next?
Just put $500 deposit on one here in Florida. Filled out the credit application and are waiting to hear back. Offered to put down what ever the finance company wants ( 10%, 15% or 20%) so we get the best interest rate and lowest payments possible under $300 a month. Our credit scores are on the low 800's around 824 so we should get a good deal. It is about $34k plus dealer/delivery fees, tax & tag registration. Expecting to see the final draft to be around $37K to $39k so we may put down $4K to $8k. We wanted a mini bunk-house, solid two axle (off the beaten path) trailer we can use off grid that weighs in under 4,000 pounds dry weight. I learned alot about it in this video. FYI the charge controller for the solar is in the forward storage compatment. We will be moving it into the main cabin.
For a single guy? This is awesome. As to the bunks? I'd make that into even MORE storage. Bathroom sink? No biggy as this is so close to the kitchen sink. Stove vent would be nice though.
We looked hard at the Micro Winnie’s. They are great units. But in the end went with Rockwood. They have all the same features…and more. The money is the same, so we went for more.
The factory-added privacy shade in the door window was the kicker here. They think of everything and they dang sure don't want "the RV Nerd" to ding them on something so simple. LoL. Oh, and the gas station murder hobo union boss called - they're a little sick of getting whacked with super thick sink covers.
Nice to see another micro minnie video from you now that you're part of Bish's. I always wondered why Haylett stopped (or seemed to stop) carrying them, so the glowing reviews are reassuring. In the past I know you've mentioned winnebago and rockwood seem to have some of the best service records (at least in the < 28' class) -- is that still true?
At the time they did. I haven’t heard anything to the contrary as of late Haylett rv made the hard call to part with Winnebago when they struggled to sell. They’ve made huge advances since and I don’t expect that to be the case now
As an owner of a 2106DS, I'm glad to see you handling Winnebago again. I'd love to see coverage of the Voyage models, as that might be the direction I go next. Is this trailer grey or white? Because Winnie's website only shows the grey offered, but under this lighting it sure looks white...
yall can add Solar - can you connect the grey and black tanks for an extra large grey tank and remove the toilet and put in a dry toilet with urine diverter. ?
Hi Josh, welcome to Idaho! Longtime subscriber here…love your content. Looks like you’re inside the College of Southern Idaho Expo Center. Is that a Bish’s RV show? Will you be coming to Idaho on a regular basis?
Josh, we love you! The full size bed is a deal breaker for us. We want a queen (even camp queen 60 in wide) minimum. 54 just isn't wide enough. Otherwise this is a nice camper!!!! I do have a request though. I love that you did this on the video. Could you please announce the weight capacity of the bunks every time when you do a bunk house RV/trailer? This is fast becoming a pull our hair out frustration thing as we see models we like, but can't find this information ANYWHERE!! I have even downloaded owners manuals on some and they just aren't mentioned. This is actually crucial to our search. Thanks in advance!
One of our team members at a location that Carries this brand can assist you. Too many rvs for me to have that memorized! Https://www.bishs.com/contact/
All I can tell you is I’ll both of them have nearly the same packages overall for heating and cooling Ember is the one that has taken the time to hot cold test their RVs at a third-party site
Winnebago builds a quality unit. I am not a fan of the bed layout and I would prefer a theater seating situation to a dinette. The look is very modern and even though there is lower white cabinets they don't give off a farmhouse vibe at all so that will please many people. The bathroom is okay. I miss having the sink and medicine cabinet as a getting ready area. I'm not sure if it's worth the price as it's not my ideal layout but I do appreciate the extra cargo area and function that the storable bunk provides.
Now this one would meet the full time living requirements of a lot of us. Power outlets in logical locations. I think I even noticed a power outlet above the dinette. Again, it would be very helpful if you would point out all the power outlets on your walk throughs. That may seem unimportant to some, but there are a lot of long term camper living people that need to know that information, because we do like our appliances and we do have to set up work stations and/or gaming PCs in our campers. Again, are the bunk beds easy to completely remove without affecting the structural integrity of the camper and is there a power outlet in that area? Thanks.
Looking extra peppy in this video? What gives? Haha! Love those trailers but the lack of a sink in the bathroom (for all the smaller bunkhouses below the 20bhs ) killed it for us. I was looking into a folding sink solution or a sink over toilet deal but couldn't find anything. The corner washbasins in the showers just don't cut it.
Josh, please tell me you will be at the Houston RV show this week!!! You are our favorite RUclipsr Goober! Also, does any RV company still make V nose campers? We have a V-lite by Forest River and absolutely love them. ☺️
Is there an alternative option with same Floor plan tandem axles and under 22 feet? I love the 1800BH and 2100BH but ones i found in my range under 25k range are way way across the country and the one i found in my area are used and more than the new ones across the country all the way out in NJ and NY
I like the Micro Minnie, I am considering the 1708FB and the bunk version. I did not know they changed the AC, is it loud or not? If I were to purchase one, I would install a 200-amp hour Lifepo4 battery and another 100 watts of solar. Then we would have a real road warrior worthy camper. It needs very little upgrades, great unit.
The closest would be the 2306BHS I think. My footage of this model is SEVERAL years out-of-date, so please keep that in mind when watching. So maybe start with this old footage: bit.ly/3RZNwrp Then apply the recent updates you see in THIS 1800BH video
Nice looking camper. I think the only concern I can see is with the oversized tires they equipped it with. I don’t think x-chocks would fit between the tires, looks extremely tight.
Could be several reasons • Axles aren't the only thing that determines GVWR. GVWR is limited by the weakest link in the chain. That could be frame, suspension, etc • They could've simply de-rated it for a more attractive number as well. I've seen that more than once
still love winnebago. not looking for a bh, nor an off road type camper tho. more looking for a winnebago 'couples' or single person camper with a dinette and a couch, even if its longer and wider. yes, i dont care for the flip down top drawer either, but as u said, its an easy fix...and would prefer a walk around bed. i did note looking on winnebagos website that the majority of what they sell dont have an oven anymore, sad. i do like their interior decor tho...the East/West u previewed a few weeks ago was about the same decor and about what i was looking for, but had serious questions on it when i clicked on the Bish website and saw it was suggested at over $42G but on sale for like $20G...i like reasonable pricing but like anyone, would question that much of a drop as to the quality, fit and finish. but, i did look at it real hard. another great vid Sir, keep up the great work.
I have to first and foremost advise against it as that area isn’t intended for sleeping and isn’t ventilated properly. If the doors closed on them, then that could be hazardous I would estimate there is space there but again advise against using it for sleeping space
@@JoshtheRVNerd ya I was thinking of it not being well ventilated but then again there’s no motor running … I’m thinking with the inside door open it might work.. at least for dogs ? 🤷♂️
@@CASANOVAPRO1985 my concern even your own breath exhaling in that size of space I really don’t feel comfortable recommended any sleeping down there. Kids or pets Not without something to give them some air - even a little vent added to the inside of the area
Hi Josh, long time viewer first time comment... I looked at the Winnebago website, at the 2023 1800BH floorplan and it clearly shows (and labels) a fold down sink in the shower in the drawing. But when I look at dealers websites of supposedly "2023" 1800BH's, none of them have a fold down sink in the shower. Do you have any info on this? Thank you!
First of all.. WELCOME! And ty for breaking radio silence lol I do not have info specific to that 1800. I can tell you floor plan diagrams are often drawn up when the model is first conceived. If there are changes, then typically those drawings are not updated. There are also mid-season changes at times. So it's possible that's something they may have added later BUT.. existing dealer inventory lacked the feature. Or the other way around. It may have been deleted mid-season but the floor plan photo was not updated. Our local folks could dive into that for you
@@JoshtheRVNerd Awesome man, thank you for the detailed response. Really appreciate your dedication and passion for your profession. Your videos are great. BTW, I actually found one of these advertised with the pop down sink in the shower - but its a 2024; So my guess is next year's model will have this feature. Please keep up the great work!
I love the aesthetics of this one, and the storage is fabulous. I would prefer a slide out in the table area, and a sofa there instead of the tables. I can use TV trays… I’ll be retiring March 2027. My three best friends and I will be transitioning to an RV life, selling our homes and RVing full time. I’d love to find a 5th wheel with designated sleeping areas for 3 single adults (one friend already has hers, and will be married by then, so they’ll have their own) with slides and preferably a rear kitchen, but I can compromise on that. I’d love your input. I’ve been watching your videos and researching for over a year. You seem so knowledgeable, any ideas? Also, it MUST be less than 26 feet, as I want to be able to park in all the national parks, and 4 season ready, as we hope to visit some cold places as well. Thanks for the fantastic videos! You are my favorite RV reviewer, by far.
Josh, you look great in that Micro! Of course anybody looks better in a great looking Winnie :) I am a long time fan of the Micro's. My older Tundra with 1,330 Lb CCC and 7,300 Lb tow capacity would be a perfect match. I love the Win. material quality, the dual axle on the BAL NXG frame is a WINNER! Love the Huck-bolt construction, then Azdel in the walls, the change to a rigid solar panel this year instead of the flexible panel from last year, the solar panel package that you added is how my roof would look.....570 watts on the roof and a 200 watt portable on the ground to chase the sun with. A 12V fridge would be needed even for boondocking, the solar Li would support it with no problem. Really a great bathroom for the size trailer, sink not needed: the kitchen sink is 5 steps away. The E-W bed helps to give more room in the living area......I like that. I love the bunks, as a solo I would use them for storage. Under the bottom bunk would have a Li battery bank, MultiPlus Inverter/charger etc etc. I would like that Win would offer a oven as a option or a much larger convection oven. It needs a range hood and a better quality fan in the roof. I would switch out the TV for a 32". I would also like to see a sofa as a option also. That's it though! I love this one and the 2100BH....please do a vid on it Josh...please:) Thanks for another quality walk through!
Would like a true queen bed and bigger bathroom with zero bunk beds. So the only place some one can sleep as a guest is the table or the couch either or.
This would be perfect for an active family who just need a place to sleep and get in out of the rain. EXCEPT, there’s no bathroom sink. This leads me to wonder, is there such a thing as an RV (other than a pop up) that has a toilet and sink, but no shower? I remember when we tent camped we would see people who had RVs using the bath house to shower. I’d prefer no shower over no sink. I’m probably in the minority.
I personally think the new ember you carry has now set the bar higher and most companies are going to now have to look at them, even though they are a new company and we have yet to hear defects, the fit and finish seems to be of higher quality now. And unfortunately I feel when the winnebago has decreased its value of quality. I only say this because my dad currently owns a winnebago motor home and has been plagued with issues, however my grandpa's old winnebago motor home has has been outstanding.
Sorry to hear of the challenges your father has faced with his rv. For what it’s worth winnebagos towable and motorized divisions are completely separate entities
Not crazy about the window and screen at the foot/head of the bed. It would be too easy to put a foot through the screen and then the pillows and head or back support issues.
Two thing i could care less abt is the tv and a phone! IF they gonna stick with the goofy booths at leaste have the seat lift to access the storage. I'm too old to crawl around on the floor even with a slide tray. They have one w/o bunks? I'm confused with the storage - so the bunks flip for storage? I'd stll want a generator. Solar doesn't do well in the woods. I know part of the price is the nameband but where I'd be taking this is not to an rv park!
Josh, great video. Winnebago does it fancy. I like the 2100BH a little better with the dinette slide gives the needed space with 7’ wide box. They are very expensive.
6:22 no. Phone charge location is bad. As a “family trailer” you can expect every 10 year old in there to whip the phone outside and stomp on it before they realize the music shut off
Sorry, but I can’t get excited about a 50 year old dinette only and impossible to make east west bed floorplan that sleeps 6 people but has comfortable seating for just 2😔😔😔

So happy to see you back in Winnies, Josh!
It feels good to be back!

Glad it helped!
Love seeing products with a serious emphasis on a quality design, fit & finish and components. Small shouldn't be synonymous with cheaply built.
They’re really going against the grain on these
Nice sized camper for a small family or couples who want to enjoy the great outdoors and not park on the couch in front of a TV. Plenty of room to sleep, eat indoors on a rainy day and get cleaned up after a day of hiking. Glad to see you critiquing Winnebago’s again!

We own a 2020 2108FBS Minnie! We absolutely love, love, love it! Upgraded from a popup! It will probably be the last camper we will ever buy!
They’re built for a longer shelf life that’s for sure
I liked your JFK bit. Nice video Josh. Nice to finally see Uncle Gary, lol...
👍🏻
As a idea for under the dinette access: maybe a sliding tray that is used in cabinets? For the wall alongside of the cook top I would order another piece of back splash from Win parts and attach it to the wall or maybe a piece of tempered glass with spacers behind it to attach to the wall.

Thanks Josh for the review I was looking at this model but we decided on a 2023 Micro Minnie 2100bh the slide makes it feel bigger inside.
Really does help
I’m still surprised there isn’t more competition in the market for dual axles in this size class.

Coming soon! I got a couple of those Hikes recorded
Just put $500 deposit on one here in Florida. Filled out the credit application and are waiting to hear back.

All white now. Their site’s pics are a bit out of date

This is fast becoming a pull our hair out frustration thing as we see models we like, but can't find this information ANYWHERE!! I have even downloaded owners manuals on some and they just aren't mentioned. This is actually crucial to our search. Thanks in advance!
I look for the bunk ratings and try to share them when I can find them or remember but Ty for the suggestion!
I have the 2021 1708fb … great trailer…..
Uncle Gary finally made an appearance LOL
Josh, I like this layout, but my wife and I would love to see a 2108FBS. That's the one we think we want to buy.
I wanted to record that but we had it buried in a parts display 😂
Josh, can you give the tire size/model info for the tires? I'd like to look up the specs to see if I can put those tires on my 2108DS!
One of our team members at a location that Carries this brand can assist you. Too many rvs for me to have that memorized! Https://www.bishs.com/contact/
Yes
I hope Ember develops a dual axle trailer like this. Give me a 20 footer with a true queen bed and I’m sold! 🇨🇦
I have an inside track on this. It’s 100% happening this year 😉
@@JoshtheRVNerd AWESOME News!!!!
@@JoshtheRVNerd Good news for everyone intrigued by Embers until they saw the hitch weights!
Oh yay! That’s what I was hoping for too! Love Embers but the hitch weight is too much!!
Cool beans Uncle Josh!
lol that profile pic. Classic man
Can’t decide….. this or the Ember….. just want a solid TT. That stays warm/cold
All I can tell you is I’ll both of them have nearly the same packages overall for heating and cooling Ember is the one that has taken the time to hot cold test their RVs at a third-party site
Winnebago builds a quality unit. I am not a fan of the bed layout and I would prefer a theater seating situation to a dinette. The look is very modern and even though there is lower white cabinets they don't give off a farmhouse vibe at all so that will please many people. The bathroom is okay. I miss having the sink and medicine cabinet as a getting ready area. I'm not sure if it's worth the price as it's not my ideal layout but I do appreciate the extra cargo area and function that the storable bunk provides.
You’ll see theater seating start showing up in their larger 8ft wide models
That is one of the nicest small bunkhouse trailers I’ve seen. Winnebego uses Azdel in their trailers. Is that true of that one as well?
All of them
Have you ever done a review on a Palomino Pause or Imperial Outdoors?
Never had the opportunity
Now this one would meet the full time living requirements of a lot of us. Power outlets in logical locations. I think I even noticed a power outlet above the dinette. Again, it would be very helpful if you would point out all the power outlets on your walk throughs. That may seem unimportant to some, but there are a lot of long term camper living people that need to know that information, because we do like our appliances and we do have to set up work stations and/or gaming PCs in our campers.
Again, are the bunk beds easy to completely remove without affecting the structural integrity of the camper and is there a power outlet in that area? Thanks.
See previous responses to the same question you left in the other comments
Looking extra peppy in this video? What gives? Haha! Love those trailers but the lack of a sink in the bathroom (for all the smaller bunkhouses below the 20bhs ) killed it for us. I was looking into a folding sink solution or a sink over toilet deal but couldn't find anything. The corner washbasins in the showers just don't cut it.
Josh, please tell me you will be at the Houston RV show this week!!! You are our favorite RUclipsr Goober! Also, does any RV company still make V nose campers? We have a V-lite by Forest River and absolutely love them. ☺️
Unfortunately I won’t be there. Not really aware of anyone making V noses
@@JoshtheRVNerd 😞
Is there an alternative option with same Floor plan tandem axles and under 22 feet? I love the 1800BH and 2100BH but ones i found in my range under 25k range are way way across the country and the one i found in my area are used and more than the new ones across the country all the way out in NJ and NY
Not that I know of
I like the Micro Minnie, I am considering the 1708FB and the bunk version. I did not know they changed the AC, is it loud or not?
If I were to purchase one, I would install a 200-amp hour Lifepo4 battery and another 100 watts of solar. Then we would have a real road warrior worthy camper. It needs very little upgrades, great unit.
I didn’t run the air so I don’t have a good reference for you
Hey josh, what is the Winnebago version of an APEX NANO 208bhs
The closest would be the 2306BHS I think. My footage of this model is SEVERAL years out-of-date, so please keep that in mind when watching.
So maybe start with this old footage: bit.ly/3RZNwrp
Then apply the recent updates you see in THIS 1800BH video
If i wanted one of these could the Coldwater location order one?
Indirectly. They’re not among Coldwater’s lineup but we could g tone thru a sister store
Nice looking camper. I think the only concern I can see is with the oversized tires they equipped it with. I don’t think x-chocks would fit between the tires, looks extremely tight.
Do you do solar upgrades/ modifications on Winnebagos you didn't sell?
Sure!
Curious to know, any insite to why with x2 3000lbs axles this model GVW is 5000k and others with the same axles are at 5500lbs, thanks
Could be several reasons
• Axles aren't the only thing that determines GVWR. GVWR is limited by the weakest link in the chain. That could be frame, suspension, etc
• They could've simply de-rated it for a more attractive number as well. I've seen that more than once
Can you do one videos on true off road campers. I’m looking for something like a black bean and that style.
m.ruclips.net/video/f3z___GRiTY/видео.html
Would want bigger pantry and linen and hanging closet and a Dinofa theater sofa. Get rid of the table actually. Just right for me and my fur babies.🐾
I wish we had more sofa options out there instead of dinettes for layouts like this
Josh, do you think Winnebago will ever put independent suspension on this series or the FLX series in the years to come?
I wouldn’t say it’s impossible but I haven’t heard anything about that
@@JoshtheRVNerd good to know! Thanks for the response.
still love winnebago. not looking for a bh, nor an off road type camper tho. more looking for a winnebago 'couples' or single person camper with a dinette and a couch, even if its longer and wider. yes, i dont care for the flip down top drawer either, but as u said, its an easy fix...and would prefer a walk around bed. i did note looking on winnebagos website that the majority of what they sell dont have an oven anymore, sad. i do like their interior decor tho...the East/West u previewed a few weeks ago was about the same decor and about what i was looking for, but had serious questions on it when i clicked on the Bish website and saw it was suggested at over $42G but on sale for like $20G...i like reasonable pricing but like anyone, would question that much of a drop as to the quality, fit and finish. but, i did look at it real hard.
another great vid Sir, keep up the great work.
How Loud is the AC on this unit? Can a Truma be swapped onto it ?
Apologies I don't know decibels
And yes - we've swapped water heaters for folks before
Is it possible to add sinks in bathroom?
Not from the factory
This would be a perfect rv if it had a flx edition!
Very nice! If they would only do something with that top bunk, make it flip up, so another adult could comfortably sleep on the bottom.
I like the efficient 12 volt fridge. I wish the Solar package was Bigger - like 600 watts and 400 amp hours
That's stuff we can do through our service department btw. Our western stores have been doing solar upfits for years
Josh if I wanted to put a couple small kids to sleep under that big pass through is that high enough to work?
I have to first and foremost advise against it as that area isn’t intended for sleeping and isn’t ventilated properly. If the doors closed on them, then that could be hazardous
I would estimate there is space there but again advise against using it for sleeping space
@@JoshtheRVNerd ya I was thinking of it not being well ventilated but then again there’s no motor running … I’m thinking with the inside door open it might work.. at least for dogs ? 🤷♂️
@@CASANOVAPRO1985 my concern even your own breath exhaling in that size of space
I really don’t feel comfortable recommended any sleeping down there. Kids or pets
Not without something to give them some air - even a little vent added to the inside of the area
I would like to see more from Winnebago
A couple’s camper?
Stay Tuned :)
Do they make a 212QB style ?
Not currently But I am trying to get coachman freedom express division to do exactly that
Hi Josh, long time viewer first time comment... I looked at the Winnebago website, at the 2023 1800BH floorplan and it clearly shows (and labels) a fold down sink in the shower in the drawing. But when I look at dealers websites of supposedly "2023" 1800BH's, none of them have a fold down sink in the shower. Do you have any info on this? Thank you!
First of all.. WELCOME! And ty for breaking radio silence lol
I do not have info specific to that 1800.
I can tell you floor plan diagrams are often drawn up when the model is first conceived. If there are changes, then typically those drawings are not updated.
There are also mid-season changes at times. So it's possible that's something they may have added later BUT.. existing dealer inventory lacked the feature. Or the other way around. It may have been deleted mid-season but the floor plan photo was not updated.
Our local folks could dive into that for you
@@JoshtheRVNerd Awesome man, thank you for the detailed response. Really appreciate your dedication and passion for your profession. Your videos are great. BTW, I actually found one of these advertised with the pop down sink in the shower - but its a 2024; So my guess is next year's model will have this feature. Please keep up the great work!
Nice, but do they make one like this for couples. This is close to what I want. No bunk beds and without the dinette.
They do. Give me a little time. The model you'll want to seek out is the 2108DS
Can you option this with a sofa ?
Not currently that I know of
Would anything prevent me from putting in theatre seats where the dinette is ?
I love the aesthetics of this one, and the storage is fabulous. I would prefer a slide out in the table area, and a sofa there instead of the tables. I can use TV trays…
I’ll be retiring March 2027. My three best friends and I will be transitioning to an RV life, selling our homes and RVing full time. I’d love to find a 5th wheel with designated sleeping areas for 3 single adults (one friend already has hers, and will be married by then, so they’ll have their own) with slides and preferably a rear kitchen, but I can compromise on that. I’d love your input. I’ve been watching your videos and researching for over a year. You seem so knowledgeable, any ideas? Also, it MUST be less than 26 feet, as I want to be able to park in all the national parks, and 4 season ready, as we hope to visit some cold places as well. Thanks for the fantastic videos! You are my favorite RV reviewer, by far.
Maybe check into some of the smaller cougars or imagined
@@JoshtheRVNerd will do, thanks
Thanks Josh! First to comment!
Ty!!
Needs a Sofa Option - don't need a slide out to fit a sofa - some wouldn't stick out any further than that dinette.
Ember does that. Check this out m.ruclips.net/video/sPARX6nnoJA/видео.html
Price please, of this one.
I like inclosed under trailer
Right here www.bishs.com/inventory/?keyword=1800bh
Josh, you look great in that Micro! Of course anybody looks better in a great looking Winnie :) I am a long time fan of the Micro's. My older Tundra with 1,330 Lb CCC and 7,300 Lb tow capacity would be a perfect match. I love the Win. material quality, the dual axle on the BAL NXG frame is a WINNER! Love the Huck-bolt construction, then Azdel in the walls, the change to a rigid solar panel this year instead of the flexible panel from last year, the solar panel package that you added is how my roof would look.....570 watts on the roof and a 200 watt portable on the ground to chase the sun with. A 12V fridge would be needed even for boondocking, the solar Li would support it with no problem. Really a great bathroom for the size trailer, sink not needed: the kitchen sink is 5 steps away. The E-W bed helps to give more room in the living area......I like that.
I love the bunks, as a solo I would use them for storage. Under the bottom bunk would have a Li battery bank, MultiPlus Inverter/charger etc etc.
I would like that Win would offer a oven as a option or a much larger convection oven. It needs a range hood and a better quality fan in the roof. I would switch out the TV for a 32". I would also like to see a sofa as a option also.
That's it though! I love this one and the 2100BH....please do a vid on it Josh...please:) Thanks for another quality walk through!
Definitely excited to get my hands on more winnebagos. Super impressed on what they’ve done
@@JoshtheRVNerd I know they run more but like always (almost) you get what you pay for. Win, Win, Win!
Looks to be SUV towable. Very nice unit.
Should work for quite a few of them!
What is the price of this travel trailer ?
Looks like we have some here for you
www.bishs.com/inventory/?keyword=1800bh
Would like a true queen bed and bigger bathroom with zero bunk beds. So the only place some one can sleep as a guest is the table or the couch either or.
Winnebago makes models that'll check those boxes for sure. Here's something else that might work off the top of my head: bit.ly/3oOFmGh
First time I've seen white doors on wood cabinets and backslash the same color as the countertop. Can't say I'm a fan.
This would be perfect for an active family who just need a place to sleep and get in out of the rain. EXCEPT, there’s no bathroom sink. This leads me to wonder, is there such a thing as an RV (other than a pop up) that has a toilet and sink, but no shower? I remember when we tent camped we would see people who had RVs using the bath house to shower. I’d prefer no shower over no sink. I’m probably in the minority.
I personally think the new ember you carry has now set the bar higher and most companies are going to now have to look at them, even though they are a new company and we have yet to hear defects, the fit and finish seems to be of higher quality now. And unfortunately I feel when the winnebago has decreased its value of quality. I only say this because my dad currently owns a winnebago motor home and has been plagued with issues, however my grandpa's old winnebago motor home has has been outstanding.
Sorry to hear of the challenges your father has faced with his rv. For what it’s worth winnebagos towable and motorized divisions are completely separate entities
Not crazy about the window and screen at the foot/head of the bed. It would be too easy to put a foot through the screen and then the pillows and head or back support issues.
Love this trailer but wouldn’t get it due to no sink in the bathroom. Other small campers find a way to make it fit.
Tell Bish's to ditch the toilet warning.
Two thing i could care less abt is the tv and a phone!
IF they gonna stick with the goofy booths at leaste have the seat lift to access the storage. I'm too old to crawl around on the floor even with a slide tray.
They have one w/o bunks? I'm confused with the storage - so the bunks flip for storage?
I'd stll want a generator. Solar doesn't do well in the woods.
I know part of the price is the nameband but where I'd be taking this is not to an rv park!
Josh, great video. Winnebago does it fancy. I like the 2100BH a little better with the dinette slide gives the needed space with 7’ wide box. They are very expensive.
They've found a niche they do nicely -- small but premium. Not everybody wants a cheap box just because it's tiny I think
@@JoshtheRVNerd I agree with you there.
6:22 no. Phone charge location is bad. As a “family trailer” you can expect every 10 year old in there to whip the phone outside and stomp on it before they realize the music shut off
Growing up it was made clear to us not to touch mom and dads stuff. Wouldn’t have been an issue
@@JoshtheRVNerd kids these days have uncontrollable wavy guy windsock arms that flail about constantly.
Sorry, but I can’t get excited about a 50 year old dinette only and impossible to make east west bed floorplan that sleeps 6 people but has comfortable seating for just 2😔😔😔
I would think that they could put a small flip down sink in the shower to wash your hands. To me that would be good.
Folding sinks are cool and would definitely fit nicely here
Does nobody at Bish's RV see the inherent problem in having people walk through that much dirt on their way into RVs for a lookie-loo?
