Parts for 2018 Minnie Drop 170s

Does anyone know where to find parts from Winnebago for the minnie drop? Mine is a 2018 Minni Drop 170s. I looked on Winnebago's parts website but didn't see this model listed.

There are two different divisions of Winnebago RVs. Motorized (motorhomes) and Towables. They are not only different divisions but have different offices and factories in different states. Their policies are quite different as well.

Manuals, Guides, Diagrams, Parts Lists and such are available for motorhomes… only.

For Towables you need to contact a Winnebago Towables dealer or the Towables Customer Care team at (574) 825-8052.

Keep in mind that a great many parts on your travel trailer are supplied by 3rd party manufacturers and can be found on lots of different TTs made by lots of different manufacturers. So, depending on what parts you are looking for you should be finding the specific parts from generic TT/RV sellers and not necessarily Winnebago.

Sewer parts

Both items are available at a RV dealer (like Camping World) or on the Internet. A replacement valve can either be a Valterra brand or a LaSalle-Bristol and they are NOT interchangeable. A sewer cap is pretty standard,,,,3 inch.
Hope this helps.
You don't indicate in your profile where you are located. If you update your profile to indicate where you are, there may be a Minnie owner nearby that can help.
Good luck,

Spot on advice! There is a difference indeed between the two models. Also a common mistake is made thinking that a broken plastic handle will necessitate the change of the gate valve. Not necessarily the case. If the valve is flushed and clean and the seal surfaces are still good and no one has murdered the gate valve seal surfaces by sticking a metal pipe on the end of a hose to back flush the tank chances are the valve will be fine just by replacing the cheap crap plastic handle with a metal one and cleaning the valve properly. It is amazing how many are damaged simply by people doing things the wrong way when it comes to the black water systems on rv's and trailers. Nothing worse than a leaking valve on the blackwater and finding it out the hard way taking off the end cap. Been there got the wet smelly tee shirt to prove it when I fixed the plumbing on a friends trailer who had been messed with by some fool with a pipe on the end of a hose YUCK!
