2026 CrossRoads Zinger Lite Mini12RD

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.

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.

A full 21-gallon fresh tank is about 175 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 11% of the 12RD’s 1,598 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,423 lb (356 lb per rated berth). Across 6 Zinger Lite Mini floorplans the water share runs 10% to 16%, and 4 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Zinger Lite Mini 12BH at 10% and Zinger Lite Mini 18RB at 13%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

Closest sibling: the Zinger Lite Mini 12FB, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): sleeps 4 vs 5; dry weight 2,602 lb vs 2,786 lb; GVWR 4,200 lb vs 4,100 lb; cargo capacity 1,598 lb vs 1,314 lb; dry hitch weight 240 lb vs 224 lb. They match on length, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Either side of it by GVWR: Zinger Lite Mini 12FB is 100 lb lighter (4,100 lb GVWR); Zinger Lite Mini 12BH is 100 lb heavier (4,300 lb GVWR).

All 6 Zinger Lite Mini floorplans: Zinger Lite Mini line hub.

Against the 12RD: the Colt 17DB is 6 ft longer; the Aurora Light 13RDX is 49 lb lighter; the Jay Flight 174BH is 50 lb lighter and 6 ft longer and sleeps 1 more.

15 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the 12RD. Not published: exterior width, interior height, slide count, tire size (a description is published, a size is not).

Values marked with an asterisk are arithmetic on published figures or come from a single source; the flag travels into the downloadable spec sheet.
