01 What makes it unique
The 18BH is the family plan of the Mini roster and the cheapest six-berth trailer CrossRoads builds. The factory describes two spacious bunk beds and a comfortable queen bed, a compact but functional layout with a cozy dinette and a fully equipped kitchen, in about 21 and a half feet at 3,080 pounds dry. 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 4,400-pound GVWR against that dry weight, leaving 1,320 pounds of cargo capacity, with a 408-pound dry tongue. The published cargo capacity is 1,320 pounds and the plan is rated to sleep 6. Occupants count against cargo capacity, so a full crew plus gear will use most of it — load to the weight sticker, not to the berth count. The tank set is 21/34/34 gallons fresh/grey/black and the awning is 8 feet.
Important model-year note: the 18BH was a Zinger Lite plan in 2025, not a Mini, and it was re-specified when it moved. The 2025 Zinger Lite brochure publishes the 18BH at 3,176 pounds dry with a 454-pound hitch; the 2026 Mini 18BH is 3,080 pounds dry with a 408-pound hitch. If you are cross-checking against older literature, those are different trailers — the figures on this page are the 2026 Mini's.

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 18BH 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 cheapest six-berth CrossRoads builds
At about 20,000 dollars and 3,080 pounds dry, the 18BH is the cheapest and lightest six-berth plan across all three Zinger rosters.
It was a Zinger Lite plan in 2025
The 18BH sat on the Zinger Lite roster for 2025 and moved to the new Zinger Lite Mini roster for 2026, and it was re-specified on the move: 2025 published 3,176 pounds dry and a 454-pound hitch; 2026 publishes 3,080 and 408. Older literature does not describe this trailer.
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.
Cargo capacity against the berth count
The published cargo capacity is 1,320 pounds and the plan is rated to sleep 6. Occupants count against cargo capacity, so a full crew plus gear will use most of it — load to the weight sticker, not to the berth count.
Weigh the loaded trailer
Dry weight is a factory estimate and real loaded tongue weights run above the 408-pound base — weigh the loaded trailer and use a weight-distributing hitch.
05 How it compares
The 18QB — the same 22-foot shell rated for seven, 202 pounds heavier dry with 202 pounds less cargo.
The 18RB — the same shell and the same price rated for four instead of six, 78 pounds lighter dry.
Cherokee's Wolf Pup — the compact bunkhouse cross-shop in the same bracket.
