2026 WinnebagoMinnie 2801BHS

The Minnie 2801BHS is the biggest statement the line makes: at 32 feet 5 inches it is the longest 2026 Minnie, and with seven berths it sleeps more people than any other plan in the range. The architecture is classic big-bunkhouse — a private queen bedroom up front, a slide-out amidships carrying the main seating with multiple arrangement options (including an optional freestanding table with four chairs, unique to this plan), and a full bunk room across the rear where the kids live. The campside outdoor griddle cooktop and 1.6-cubic-foot exterior refrigerator — shared only with the 2301BHS — move breakfast duty outside, under the line's longest 21-foot awning.

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 (with 50-amp service and second-A/C prep — relevant at this length), 30,000-BTU furnace and 200-watt solar package are standard, and the factory fits a second grey tank (49 + 47) for 96 gallons of grey capacity, which a family of seven will use.

The full-house math deserves respect: 2,054 pounds of payload divided among seven people's water, food and gear goes quickly, and the 32-foot-5 body wants a full-size tow vehicle and full-size campsites. But the price is the quiet surprise — at $52,391 the flagship undercuts the 2630MLRK, 2730FK and 2832FK, all of which are smaller. For the family that fills every berth, the 2801BHS is the most trailer per dollar in the 2026 Minnie line.

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 2801BHS on this page is highlighted; every 2026 plan links to its own profiled page.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 60-gallon fresh tank is roughly 24% of the 2,054-pound cargo capacity, leaving the Minnie 2801BHS with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry tongue weight of 658 pounds works out to 10% of the 6,746-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 2801BHS is towing 2,054 pounds more than its 6,746-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 96 grey and 49 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Ranked by GVWR, the Minnie 2801BHS sits 9 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 2730FK matches it exactly at 8,800 lb GVWR; and Minnie 2832FK 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.

Against the Minnie 2801BHS: the Access 24RB is 2 ft shorter and sleeps 3 fewer; the Classic 28RB is 4 ft shorter and sleeps 2 fewer; the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk is 1 ft shorter and sleeps 1 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.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 17 of them for the Minnie 2801BHS. 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.
