I’m going to do an inspection on a 2022 Minnie Winnie 2108 fbs that’s also a Flx edition. I’ve only seen it in photos and I’m looking forward to checking it out in person. I was wondering if if there are problems particular to this model that I need to check out. I’m new to the RV world but I have years of experience with boats as I’ve owned and serviced many small (under 40’) cabin cruisers. I’ve made a checklist so I don’t skip anything during my inspection. If anyone is familiar with with this particular model it would be appreciated if you could share some guidance on what I need to be on top of when I’m inspecting. I’m not expecting that everything will be 100% as I don’t mind doing some improvements I just don’t know what are common failure points particular to this model. Any advice will be appreciated

Just an FYI - there is no such thing as a "2022 Minnie Winnie 2108 fbs flx."

What you are going to inspect is a 2022 Micro Minnie FLX 2108FBS.

The "Minnie Winnie" is a Class C motorhome and the "Micro Minnie" is a Travel Trailer - two VERY different things. The Micro Minnie is available in a FLX option and one of the model's floor plans is a 2108FBS floor plan. The Minnie Winnie doesn't come in either of those things - no FLX option and no 2108FBS floor plan.
 
I ended up with a 2022 MM 2100 Bhs, non Flex, but looked at several Flx and Non-Flex units. Mine had gone to the coast a few times so there was likely more surface corrosion because of that, and below describes the poor weather protection of some of the outside wiring, you might want to look at.

Make sure you hook it up to water and run all the water, Winnebago did a cheap job with their plumbing mixing pex, and flexible lines with pex clamps that can eventually leak.

You can likely view,(I think common on all MM's) from above on the driver side of trailer, inside the front tongue area is a poorly weather protected group of 4 auto reset breakers. Just observe how corroded they are. There are easy to remove little red rubber breaker covers, you can pop off to see connections. My unit had a lot of corrosion on the connections, but fairly easy to get to. There is a 30 amp blade fuse nearby breakers poorly weather protected, that was also corroded but easily replaced that runs to the electric jack. There is a electrical junction box further underneath and behind breaker strip that is better placed out of direct weather, no exposed connections, but incredibly Winnebago put a residential metal junction box in, for outside use, which was corroded on the outside. Guessing that is common to all MM's but you have to crawl under to see. Even with outside corrosion the interior wires were fine. I've since installed weather proof boxes for both breakers and junction box.

Run the slide in and out several times observe for straight in and out running, odd noises, pops, check outside slide seals, and observe moving outside if you can while connected to shore power. My slide worked fine, but worth checking operation thoroughly. On the Flx, before arriving, install a Lithionics phone app to check the charge status, and I believe use, and health of the blue tooth capable battery, which I was told is also a Winnebago owned company. I believe the Xantrex inverter may have a phone app utility too, but also has an onboard status display as I recall. Great little trailers, would be even better if Wall St bean counters weren't running these companies.
 
Thanks for the tips. I’m doing final inspection on Friday . I did notice the PEX flex tubing issue on my first visit fortunately everything was holding tight. In the past I found adding a oring or 2 to the PEX fitting that has the slightly larger flex tubing on it can help until you replace with the proper fitting. There were a couple of problems you mentioned I didn’t check but I will at final inspection. I think I’m getting it for a good price it has a bit over $5000 worth of improvements and they are including I’ll the goodies I just need to bring myself and food and I can go camping immediately. I’m buying it for the very low $20’s the tires are Good tread wise but I need to check the dates. One improvement I want to do is replace the bathroom tiny ceiling fan with something with more guts. One of the extras in it is a composting toilet that he paid around $1000 for not sure if I’m going to like it but it has its advantages as you can use the black tank for grey and having just grey to dump is a nice thing.
 
Sounds like a winner and good price. I couldn't find a Flx with the floorplan I wanted w/o driving long distances, so ended with standard model. My goal is to get mine more boondockable.

One other thing, in case you haven't seen in the forum, if you are going to rough road camp, there's a thread in the forum about the lack of bracing of fresh water tanks in MM's. Believe our year models were about the time factory started bracing better. W/o the right bracing, a fuller fresh water tank can break loose on rougher roads. I don't know how to tell other than pulling back some of the underlayment to see if tank is fully braced, apparently grey and black are ok. I haven't fully check mine out, and travel mostly 1/4-1/3 full. Maybe calling Winnebago with vin # they might could tell if they braced on our models?

For a set of schematics send last 7 of vin to [email protected], requesting a full set and they zipped them right out electronically.
 
Likely too late, but I would use a professional RV inspector, worth the extra cost to insure all is OK. I am an engineer myself and very handy, but still used one for their experience.
