Difference between Access and Minnie Winnie

Hello!

I'm looking at two used RVs. Both 2014 and within 10,000 miles of mileage. Price is also nearly identical.

One is an Access M-31JP.

The other is a Minnie Winnie 31H.

Both seem nearly identical and it's hard to tell the differences. The 31H does have an oven, which seems like a nice addition that we'd like to have...

I can easily find many references to the 31H. But really finding out what the Access M-31JP is (and sometimes I can't even find it referenced with the "P") is proving difficult.

Any ideas?

Assuming condition/price/mileage within similar levels, what would ya'll recommend?

Thanks!

Here is the brochure for the 2014 Access.
Here is the brochure for the 2014 Minnie Winnie.
It appears that the overhead bunk area is more streamlined on the Access, thereby reducing the overhead space in same (both length and width). An option in the Access was to exchange the overhead bunk for cabinetry.
I do see a 31WP Floorplan on the Access (but not the 31JP). The Access seems a little more curvy in a couple of spots.
I hope the brochures help.

Thanks! This got me in the right direction. The cabover area is definitely boxy, which confused me. So I went back a year on the Access, to 2013, and found that there was a plain old Access (non-premier) line which did include the M-31JP. So, this listing I found seems incorrectly dated as a 2014. But not only that...the "P" designator is incorrect too because only the Premier has the aero front end.

So both the year and the model designator are wrong. It's just a 2013 M-31J, not a 2014 M-31JP.

Still a bit fuzzy on what the "M" means however...

And lastly, what I see is that the Minnie Winnie moniker came about in 2014. In 2013, Winnebago just called it the Access line.

Sorry for double post but I don't see an edit option.

What I also noticed is that the otherwise equivalent Access model has THREE more windows than the subsequent Minnie Winnie. Kinda lame. It has an extra window on the overcab bunk, at the head of the rear bed, and also at the back corner of the bedroom. Dang!
