01 What makes it unique

The Minnie 2301BHS is the line's mid-size family plan, and the one that moves mealtime outdoors: it is one of only two 2026 Minnies fitted with the campside outdoor griddle cooktop and a 1.6-cubic-foot exterior refrigerator (the big 2801BHS is the other), so pancakes and burgers happen under the awning instead of in the cabin. Inside, a queen bedroom takes the front, the rear carries a dedicated bunkhouse, and the slide-out places the main seating directly beside the refrigerator — Winnebago's own description of the plan's signature arrangement — with an optional U-shaped dinette in place of the sofa.

It rides on the standard Minnie platform: NXG engineered steel frame, 1.5-inch fiberglass over Azdel Onboard composite, one-piece walkable TPO roof, gel-coat fiberglass front cap, and tandem 4,400-pound EZ-lube axles whose published pair equals the 8,800-pound GVWR exactly. The 10-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, 15,000-BTU ducted air conditioner, 30,000-BTU furnace and 200-watt solar package are standard, and the tank set is family-grade: 60 gallons fresh, a 49-gallon black tank, and a factory-fitted second grey tank (49 + 47) bringing grey capacity to 96 gallons.

Against the lighter 2326BH bunkhouse the 2301BHS trades 842 pounds of payload margin for three more feet of trailer, the outdoor kitchen and the bigger grey capacity — a fair exchange for families who camp longer in one place. At 6,514 pounds dry with a 650-pound tongue weight it remains a comfortable match for any properly equipped half-ton, and at $49,074 it undercuts the flagship 2801BHS by more than $3,300.

03 Minnie floorplan family

Winnebago's Minnie line — a ten-floorplan range of 8-foot wide-body travel trailers that step up from the 7-foot Micro Minnie in width, length and capacity, every one of them rated to an 8,800-pound GVWR. The 2301BHS on this page is highlighted; every 2026 plan links to its own profiled page.

2832FK32 ft5Front galley, rear walkaround queen (dealer stock only)
2801BHS32 ft7Longest; sleeps-seven rear bunkhouse

Every Minnie shares the same 8,800-pound GVWR, 8-foot exterior width, 10-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, 15,000-BTU ducted air conditioner and tandem 4,400-pound EZ-lube axles — floorplans differ in length, bed and galley placement, slide count and whether a second grey tank is fitted. All figures are RVUSA structured records cross-checked against Winnebago's factory specification table, which agrees exactly. Always confirm against the unit's weight sticker before towing.

04 What owners & reviewers report

Breakfast happens outside

The campside griddle cooktop and 1.6 cu ft exterior fridge — fitted to only this plan and the 2801BHS — move the messiest cooking out from under the roof.

96 gallons of grey for family stays

The factory-fitted second grey tank (49 + 47) means a family's dishes and showers don't force an early dump run.

The middle path of the bunkhouses

Three feet longer than the 2326BH, three feet shorter than the 2801BHS — the balanced pick on price, weight and space.

Payload runs mid-pack

At 2,286 lb of payload the margin is fine but not the 2326BH's 3,128 — with six people's water and gear, weigh the loaded rig.
