Which Micro Minnie do you have?

Ours is a 2306 early 2020 which uses a regular shaped mattress(ie not split). We went to a local mattress factory and bought a replacement. We love it.

Our 2020 2306BHS came with an electric tongue jack and manual stabilizing jacks. I can’t imagine this thing ever having electric levelers, but I guess anything is possible.

New mattress for bunkhouse

Has anyone replaced the bunkbed mattresses in the micro Minnie?

After 2 seasons they are really compacting and really looking uncomfortable for the kids.

Thanks
