01 What makes it unique
The 12RD is the couples plan of the 12-series. CrossRoads describes a compact and efficient RV with a cozy 54 by 74 inch bed, a comfortable dinette and a well-equipped kitchen with a microwave and refrigerator, plus a practical bathroom with a 24 by 36 inch shower, sleeping four in about 16 feet. The published shower dimension is the only interior measurement CrossRoads gives for any Mini plan. CrossRoads publishes no construction detail and no brochure for the Zinger Lite Mini, so nothing about its roof, insulation or underbelly is asserted here; the figures on this page are the ones the factory and RVUSA actually publish for the plan.
CrossRoads publishes a 4,200-pound GVWR against a 2,602-pound dry weight, leaving 1,598 pounds of cargo capacity — second on the Mini roster behind the 12BH — and a 240-pound dry tongue, the second lightest in the family. The tank set is 21/34/42 gallons fresh/grey/black, sharing the 12FB's larger black tank. At 2,602 pounds dry and a 240-pound tongue this is about as light as a wet-bath trailer gets.
RVUSA lists a 13,500 BTU air conditioner and a 10 cu ft refrigerator for every Zinger Lite Mini plan — the same values it stamps on the 43-foot Zinger 390DB. No CrossRoads source confirms either for this class, and the 2025 brochure specifies an 8,000 BTU unit and an uncapacitied 12-volt refrigerator for the single-axle floorplans the Mini roster came from. Both figures are flagged here and neither is asserted — confirm the air conditioner and the refrigerator on the unit.

03 The Zinger Lite Mini floorplan family
The Zinger Lite Mini is new for 2026 and is the only single-axle roster in the Zinger family — a separate floorplan set from the full-size Zinger and the tandem-axle Zinger Lite, not a trim of either. Three of its six codes (18BH, 18QB, 18RB) were Zinger Lite plans in 2025 and were re-specified on the move, so their older figures do not apply here. All six plans are profiled in full and linked below. The 12RD on this page is highlighted.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12BH | 16 ft | 4 | Queen bed, bunk beds and a kitchenette |
| 12FB | 16 ft | 5 | 54 x 74 in bed and a fold-down bunk |
| 12RD | 16 ft | 4 | 54 x 74 in bed, dinette and a 24 x 36 in shower |
| 18BH | 21 ft | 6 | Two bunk beds and a queen bed |
| 18QB | 21 ft | 7 | Queen bed and twin bunks |
| 18RB | 21 ft | 4 | Dinette, sleeping area and kitchen |
Zinger Lite Mini is a cross-shop against Forest River's Geo Pro and E-Pro, Winnebago's Micro Minnie, Cherokee's Wolf Pup, the r·pod and No Boundaries. The family runs three separate rosters that share no floorplan codes: the full-size Zinger, the tandem-axle Zinger Lite and this single-axle Zinger Lite Mini. The 2026 factory roster carries six travel-trailer plans and all six are profiled here in full. This is the only single-axle roster in the family. Dry weight, GVWR, cargo capacity and dry tongue weight are published per plan and each plan's dry weight plus cargo capacity equals its GVWR exactly, so the weights below are shown unflagged with no derivation. Dry weight is a factory estimate; real loaded tongue weights run higher — always weigh the loaded trailer and confirm against your vehicle's tow rating and payload.
04 What owners & reviewers report
The only published interior dimension on the roster
CrossRoads publishes a 24 by 36 inch shower for the 12RD — the only interior measurement it gives for any of the six Mini plans.
A 240-pound tongue with a full bathroom
The 240-pound dry tongue is the second lightest of all 21 plans in the family, on a plan with a published shower.
Confirm the air conditioner and refrigerator
RVUSA publishes the Zinger line's 13,500 BTU air conditioner and 10 cu ft refrigerator for the Mini; the 2025 brochure specifies 8,000 BTU and an uncapacitied 12-volt refrigerator for this single-axle class. Neither is asserted — confirm both on the unit.
No construction detail is published
CrossRoads publishes no brochure and no construction specification for the Zinger Lite Mini, so nothing about the roof, insulation or underbelly is claimed on this page.
Weigh the loaded trailer
Dry weight is a factory estimate and real loaded tongue weights run above the 240-pound base — weigh the loaded trailer and use a weight-distributing hitch.
05 How it compares
The 12BH — the same shell with bunks and four berths, 52 pounds lighter dry and about 1,900 dollars less.
The 18RB — five and a half more feet for about 270 dollars more, at 400 pounds heavier dry.
The r·pod — the single-axle compact cross-shop.
