01 What makes it unique
The Minnie 2326RB is where the line starts: at 26 feet 4 inches it is the shortest 2026 Minnie, at $45,556 the least expensive, and at 390 pounds of dry tongue weight the lightest on the hitch — the gentlest introduction to Winnebago's 8-foot wide-body travel trailer. The layout is a classic rear-bath couples' plan: a bed up front, a slide-out carrying a sofa (with optional theater seating or a U-shaped dinette in its place), a galley down one side, and a full bath across the rear — with extended counter space in both the galley and the bath that Winnebago calls out as this plan's signature.
It rides on the standard Minnie platform: Winnebago's NXG engineered steel frame, 1.5-inch fiberglass sidewalls laminated over Azdel Onboard composite, a one-piece walkable TPO roof with ladder, a gel-coat fiberglass front cap, and tandem 4,400-pound EZ-lube axles on 15-inch 10-ply tires — the published pair summing to the line's 8,800-pound GVWR exactly. A 10-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, 15,000-BTU ducted air conditioner, 30,000-BTU furnace, 200-watt solar panel with 30-amp controller and a fully enclosed heated underbelly are all standard, and the 60-gallon fresh tank with 49/49 grey and black tanks suits real week-long trips.
At 5,762 pounds dry with 3,038 pounds of payload — the second-largest cargo margin in the line — the 2326RB is both easy to tow and hard to overload, a rare combination. Couples who want more berths or a dedicated bunk room should look up the family table; but as a first travel trailer, or a right-sized second one, the 2326RB is the line's honest value pick at an MSRP in the mid-$40,000s.

These graphics are generated from the same verified record that builds the table above, and are published under this site’s own licence — nothing here is traced from, or derived from, a manufacturer drawing or photo. Where a figure is not published for this plan, the graphic that would need it is omitted rather than estimated. The full record is in the published dataset.
What it takes to tow this
Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.
We do not publish tow ratings for specific trucks. A single model can vary by thousands of pounds depending on engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and package — the only authoritative figure is the one on your own door jamb. Loaded tongue percentages are industry convention for travel trailers (10–15% of loaded weight), not a measurement of this unit. Hitch classes are not used here as a rating: SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR and does not define Class V, and capacity boundaries differ between manufacturers — read the rating stamped on your hitch.
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 2326RB on this page is highlighted; every 2026 plan links to its own profiled page.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2326RB | 26 ft | 4 | Shortest & lowest-priced; rear-bath couples |
| 2326BH | 27 ft | 6 | Lightest; dual-entry family bunkhouse |
| 2327TB | 27 ft | 4 | Twin-to-king slide couples (dealer stock only) |
| 2500FL | 28 ft | 4 | Front living room, rear queen (dealer stock only) |
| 2529RG | 30 ft | 5 | Rear-galley front queen; dual entry |
| 2301BHS | 30 ft | 6 | Bunkhouse with outdoor griddle kitchen |
| 2630MLRK | 30 ft | 4 | Walk-through bath, pull-out desk (dealer stock only) |
| 2730FK | 31 ft | 4 | Front-corner galley; the only two-slide plan |
| 2832FK | 32 ft | 5 | Front galley, rear walkaround queen (dealer stock only) |
| 2801BHS | 32 ft | 7 | Longest; 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
The gentlest Minnie on the hitch
A 390-lb dry tongue weight — the lightest in the line — makes the 2326RB the easiest plan to match to a mid-size tow vehicle's hitch and payload ratings.
Counter space is the signature
Winnebago extends the counters in both the galley and the bath on this plan — working room the compact couples' layouts usually sacrifice.
Hard to overload
At 3,038 lb of payload against an 8,800-lb GVWR, water, gear and mods all fit with room to spare — the second-biggest margin in the line.
A couples' coach, not a family one
Sleeping four counts the convertible sofa; families wanting real berths for kids should step to the 2326BH or 2801BHS bunkhouses.
05 How it compares
Four inches longer and lighter still — the dual-entry bunkhouse that sleeps six for about $1,300 more.
Winnebago's 7-foot-wide no-slide couples' coaches — over 1,500 lb lighter, at a 5,500-lb GVWR.
The direct Thor-side rival — a laminated mid-lightweight with similar lengths and pricing.
06 Loading it for a trip
This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 60-gallon fresh tank is roughly 16% of the 3,038-pound cargo capacity, leaving the Minnie 2326RB with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 3,038 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
| Fresh tank filled (60 gal × 8.34 lb) | −500 lb | Water is the heaviest thing most owners add, and it is added first. |
| Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank | 2,538 lb | 16% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded. |
| Per sleeping position, water aboard | 634 lb | A rough share of what is left across the 4 berths this plan sleeps. |
The published dry tongue weight of 390 pounds works out to 7% of the 5,762-pound dry weight — below the 10–15% band that keeps a travel trailer tracking straight. That is normal for a dry figure measured with empty tanks, and it is a reason to check the loaded balance rather than assume it: where you put weight relative to the axles moves this number in both directions.
Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 8,800-pound GVWR the Minnie 2326RB is towing 3,038 pounds more than its 5,762-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.
Tank balance is generous here: 60 gallons of fresh against 49 grey and 49 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Ranked by GVWR, the Minnie 2326RB sits 3 of 10 in the Minnie line: 8,800 pounds against a line that runs from 8,800 to 8,800 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.
Either side of it in the same line: Minnie 2326BH matches it exactly at 8,800 lb GVWR; and Minnie 2327TB matches it exactly at 8,800 lb GVWR.
9 other Minnie plans share this floorplan’s 8,800 lb GVWR, so the ranking above separates plans that tow to the same ceiling. On a shared chassis the figure that actually differs between them is cargo capacity and where the weight sits, not the rating.
| Comparable travel trailers | GVWR (lb) | Dry (lb) | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minnie 2326RB | 8,800 | 5,762 | 4 | 26 ft 4 in |
| Access 24RB | 8,800 | 6,592 | 4 | 29 ft 11 in |
| Classic 28RB | 8,800 | 7,650 | 5 | 28 ft 10 in |
| Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk | 8,800 | 6,700 | 8 | 31 ft 2 in |
| Globetrotter 30RB | 8,800 | 6,990 | 6 | 31 ft 2 in |
| International 30RB | 8,800 | 6,600 | 6 | 31 ft 2 in |
| Passport 2605RB | 8,800 | 6,762 | 6 | 30 ft 6 in |
Against the Minnie 2326RB: the Access 24RB is 4 ft longer; the Classic 28RB is 2 ft longer and sleeps 1 more; the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk is 5 ft longer and sleeps 4 more. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.
Those are the nearest travel trailers from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.
For scale, the Minnie floorplans profiled here run 5,672 to 7,082 pounds dry and 26 to 32 feet of exterior length across 10 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.
Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Minnie line hub.
08 Common questions about the Minnie 2326RB
How much does the Minnie 2326RB weigh?
It leaves the factory at 5,762 pounds dry, and its manufacturer-set loaded ceiling (GVWR) is 8,800 pounds. Real towing weight lands between the two and depends entirely on what you load. Use the GVWR when matching a tow vehicle; the dry figure is only useful for comparing floorplans against each other.
How much can the Minnie 2326RB carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 3,038 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring. Filling the 60-gallon fresh tank uses about 500 pounds of that.
What is the tongue weight of the Minnie 2326RB?
The published dry tongue weight is 390 pounds. It is measured empty; loaded, it runs higher, and it comes out of your tow vehicle’s payload rather than its tow rating.
What size tow vehicle does the Minnie 2326RB need?
Your vehicle needs a tow rating of at least 8,800 pounds — this floorplan’s GVWR — and enough payload left over for the hitch load, passengers and anything in the bed. This site does not publish tow ratings for specific vehicles, because one truck model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The figure that governs is the payload sticker on your own door jamb.
How many people does the Minnie 2326RB sleep?
It is rated to sleep 4. Rated sleeping positions include convertible furniture, so count the beds against how you actually travel rather than against the number.
What are the tank capacities on the Minnie 2326RB?
Fresh 60 gallons, grey 49 gallons, black 49 gallons. Tank sizes set how long the floorplan can sit away from hookups, and the smallest of the three is what ends the stay.
How long is the Minnie 2326RB?
Exterior length is 26' 4". Measure against your site length and your storage before committing — the exterior figure is the one that has to fit, and it includes the tongue or pin box.
Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.
09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 17 of them for the Minnie 2326RB. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.
Not published for this floorplan: slide count. If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.
The completeness figure at the foot of this page (97%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.
How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
11 NHTSA safety record
This floorplan belongs to the Minnie line, and NHTSA holds 29 recall campaigns and 38 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.
What to look at on a used one. Across the 38 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are tires (47%), structure (21%) and equipment (8%). That is where owners of this family have had trouble, so it is where an inspection is worth the time.
Recall coverage is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Minnie line page.
