I bought the 1700BH after following Robert and watching this factory video. I love my Micro Minnie. Thank you Robert!

[@mfhairstream6812]

This camper will be put through the true toad test in Alaska. Looks great and being able to run the AC without shore power is very cool

[@alrichardson7027]

Hello Traveling Robert, this was such an amazing experience seeing how these RV'S are assembled. I hear that your going to Alaska soon...I can't wait to see that. This was OUTSTANDING Robert!

[@lgpjr49]

I hope that the 1720FB becomes a standard model you can get the FLX package in. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@KarileeT]

Can’t wait for a no slide FLX! This is what I’m waiting for!

[@anthonyr5869]

Probably the best small trailer on the market for the money. Quality quality quality. This ain’t no shitty Forest river or Salem. Then things should be junked 3 years after purchase on average

[@joycemosakowski3648]

With a smaller RV and it weighs less , it will help you in higher elevation. And it won't put a strain on your truck. Good luck on your next expedition and get NEW hiking shoes. 😁

[@AskRemy]

22:34 would be nice to explain the benefits of this design - when we see fiberglass walls on RV's bulging or waving - you know what I am saying - what causes those walls to fail? Are these those walls also - or is this the solution to preventing the breakdown of fiberglass wall design 5, 10 years down the road. Airstream claims their RV's easily last 50 years, which is why they are so expensive. I would like to learn more about the integrity of these design choices.

[@retiredsockmonkey7257]

Wonderful the Winnebago trusted you to video and share the makings of their product!!!!!?🎉

[@KnivesFAST]

Really great video. Can't wait to see your videos in Alaska. Thanks for sharing Robert

[@maxineoliver7404]

That was awesome to see, Robert, especially with the Winnebago building! The adhering and assembling to form a trailer, along with its electronics, insulations, and interiors in place, it is a hi-tech trailer! You've got yourself a fantastic Micro Minnie trailer, Robert! Take care!!🤗👍🏕

[@joansrvadventures6112]

Very nice rig. I love the new interior colors. I am going to give my honest opinion here just in case Winnebago staff are reading. I also like a smaller trailer with no slide. I have the 2013 Mini (not Micro) 19.2ft 1801fb. It is now 10 years old and still doing great. I love mine just as it is as it seems to have the best layout for max storage. My Mini is 6 inches wider than the Micros. I suggest the bathroom mirror be moved to the inside of the bathroom door. I did that with a cheap, lightweight full length mirror I velcroed on and it has never fallen off. I just open the door wide and can stand in the center of the rig to get a full view. That would give you room on the back wall behind the toilet to put some command hooks to hang baskets for toilet paper, towels, hair dryer, etc, giving you much needed storage. I would miss the big hanging wardrobe I have. I have some clothes that would get wrinkled by folding. I also suggest they offer 2 solar panels for better boondocking. I also changed my 2 20lb tanks to 2 30lb tanks for boondocking. Day/night shades would also be nice. I love organizing so I look forward to seeing what you do inside to make it your own. Happy travels and "see you on the road".

[@whereinthehellarewewill1363]

After reading your comment I only now realized night shades are not included. That’s a huge mistake IMO. Thank you for the clarification.

[@andyschrant3312]

This is a very slick and modern unit. Well done Robert!

[@almamorales4158]

Very interesting the RV construction. Enjoy.......Congrats...>>>

[@josephmalloytravels7516]

Why did they give such a small trailer

[@TravelingRobert]

That's the one I wanted

[@mikemanjo2458]

Thanks for the tours...both your home and the factory. We have a Winnebago and love it. Excited about following along with you to Alaska! Safe travels!❤🙏 Jane in SC

[@davidficker9894]

Great tour. Thank you for sharing that. By the way, Cumberland Falls is a great hidden gem in Kentucky.

[@marksr8784]

Congratulations 😊 Very nice 👏 Good luck 🏕✌🏿

[@STC987]

Great video Robert. That was an excellent tour of the Winnebago facility. Your guide was very informative and knowledgeable.

[@jerrymccullough688]

Good luck with the new trailer, Robert. Safe and happy travels. I've been enjoying virtually riding along with you!

[@trudycrebo8039]

Thank you so much for showing us your new trailer and taking us on the tour of the Winnebago factory. I really enjoyed seeing how the trailers are made. Thank you!

[@richardsheetsjr7225]

Like this model and just purchased one today , can't wait to do some camping in the summer

[@charlie88]

Thanks for the great walk thru and factory tour. I’m looking forward to see how the in-motion Starlink works for you.

[@imagseer]

That was really interesting to see all the steps required in building those quality trailers. Look forward to seeing your adventures with the new Minitini IV.

[@AskRemy]

After careful review - this is a well packaged rig - I don't see anyone else putting so much into a small floor plan.

[@retiredsockmonkey7257]

Love your videos! You have such a soothing voice....your music always sticks in my mind

[@ejfernaloza8792]

Nice, but not for me is too small. I think 22' or 24' ft long for long way travelers is the perfect size. That's my opinion.

[@DaveInCanada081]

I wish it had the chairs like the 1708

[@catlaut3826]

That was really interesting to see. After years of camping I put my dishes in the drawer under the stove. We went over a curb and all the dishes fell and broke. I moved the dishes to the bottom drawer and it worked so well for storing dishes and glasses. Been a long time fan of yours. Have fun on your trip to Alaska. Can hardly wait to see it.

[@creasonator6241]

Hey Robert, I would love to meet you and say hello. I work in the city where you stayed at the KOA just south of Louisville. My wife and I have been watching you for 5 years now. Just seen that you are at Lake Cumberland. I am a police officer in the city so I can meet you real quick if at all possible. Love your channel man

[@robertcolpitts4534]

Nice trailer, Roberto! I like that Furrion Camera System. We only have the single camera rear viewing system but it works beautifully!

[@rvingmylifeaway8295]

I can't wait for that Alaskan trip, I have been wanting to take a trip up there. I'll wait to see how it goes for you.

[@markshelhart8338]

Great new trailer. You should consider swapping the tv for a 4K monitor, you could use for editing w/o having to carry a 2nd monitor around. Interesting that Winnebago is back to using pinch rolling for laminating, they used to use a vacum bonding system that was supposed to be superior; might not be compatible with Azdel.

[@Taxia123]

Looking forward to your trip to Alaska. BTW, Please do some episodes on Yukon as well.

[@vagandoeverywhereportodosl3780]

The roofs are wood? Hmmm. I guess that's an advantage for the Rockwood geopros. I had no idea. Thought they were aluminum up there, too.

[@neilcarter77]

Looks nice, but seems like a downgrade from what you had. Safe travels!!

[@bertkelly7650]

Camper not for us. Great for a skinny short person not a couple of overweight people. Thanks for your video!

[@anthonyr5869]

These are great trailer I mean really good

[@Gratefulwon]

For 64k starting price, it should be aluminum framed all six sides like its less expensive competitors. Just sayin.

[@davidwheeler7503]

It's just hard to believe people that have that kind of money to spend on an RV would actually spend that on a 17ft RV. Way overpriced

[@markshelhart8338]

In fairness, they aren't offering the Flex models in that floorplan, only the bigger ones, but yeah, they're ridiculously over priced. Where it really needs the aluminum, is under the bed; Winnebago has had issues there for years when bigger people use their east west beds in tandem, and they don't cover it under warranty.

[@victorfebo2968]

Amazing! Thank you for sharing, Robert! Looking forward to the Alaska trip!

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

Awww...man, i thought it would be Oregon...bummer

[@Bob-WannabeRVr]

Really geeking out to this one! Jeez, How does anyone even decide on a towable or drivable RV…!?! It’s all just so cool

[@chrislebleu6821]

Totally awesome and fun to watch!! Also very informative (Edit: and educative!)! I'm looking forward to your Alaska adventures! 👍x 10/10!!

[@pennymoore88]

Hello Robert 😊

[@marychristie6194]

My hats off to ya Robert-I just couldn’t handle something that small-but I will enjoy watching you use it 🥰⭐️🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🚌

[@richardkoch8752]

It would be best if the pinched laminated glued walls were put in a humidity controlled area to allow the glue to cure for 48 hours before being handled. That dry and cure time are two huge factors that they neglect. Would also like to see aluminum on the front wall and guessing the rear wall. If Winn and it's sister companies share ideas to build better why isn't Grand Design using Azdell? Also adding better support for the tanks so the fresh water tank could be full when traveling would be a huge improvement.

[@1970boobear]

I'm sorry... We were so busy enjoying this on the big screen I totally spaced on commenting! 😂 Congratulations on Minitini 4, she's beautiful. We are counting the moments til you bring us along to Alaska! ❤❤

[@Gratefulwon]

Too mini tini for us! Have to be able to hang my feet off the end of a camper queen.

[@brookselitzer788]

🌀WAY too small to be comfortable … but each to their own… ☮️

[@Tek-eo3li]

Willl you make a video about all the stuff that breaks too?

[@TravelingRobert]

I usually mention it as it happens. Some things broke on the trip to Alaska but got them all fixed.

[@DeafRVTraveler]

Very cool tours at the Winnebago factory. Finally getting know how our trailers are built starting inside out. Thanks for the tour! Very excited to see you Alaska trip!

[@MrRyguy2112]

Any bear proofing on that trailer? Or are you not planning on staying outdoors anywhere kind of remote while in Alaska?

[@Luis-b5o]

Don't like mine 4 to small, the bed is wood underneath you travel a lot and the shaking losing them up, you promoting the Winnebago, the bathroom with no sink. Winnebago can do better, they going chep, sorry😢. You deserve better.

[@TravelingRobert]

This is the one I asked for.

[@Luis-b5o]

Ok, thanks

[@rafaelugale]

i love your live stream robert😊

[@garyskye5594]

Great tour Robert. The place is well organized and clean. I've been thru some trashy manufacturers. Maybe when you are ready for a boat, they will hook you up with a Barletta pontoon. Like the Winnebago, very well made.

[@TravelingRobert]

Now how about towing a Barletta with a Winnebago class C.... that would be an adventure

[@MS-hi3dg]

Sorry, don't like it. It looks to small and very uncomfortable and especially no storage, no sink. You should return it and tell them to give you one that is better. You are promoting them, and that is what they give to promote??? Terrible for Winnebago. I won't buy anything from that company

[@TravelingRobert]

I really like it... especially after accessorizing it.

[@Yawndave]

That's quite an operation they have there. How long does it take to build something like Minitini 4 from start to finish?

[@TravelingRobert]

@yawndave Nor sure but it's gotta be a couple of days.

[@millerlite502]

Robert the only thing missing is air bags and seatbelts! 😎🍺

[@ipr439]

GREAT Video! Thank you and safe travels

[@Cooper127]

Robert, best of luck with the new trailer. I’m happy for you and look forward to seeing you in it on the Alaskan trip.

[@dookychips2531]

An awesome little trailer, the perfect size for towing all the way to Alaska.

[@gillesbagdadi8493]

very nice idea !!!!! ( from montreal canada )

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

It's always great to see a factory tour, I love what they were talking about with the pine wood! Love the new minitini! Congrats Robert! - Michelle & Brian

[@mfc1965]

Now, I really enjoyed seeing how Winnebago put their units together! Great Video!

[@roypase8488]

Robert was that a 12v frig? Looked like one , but vent on outside through me off. TY

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes it is 12V. They have the vent because some models have absorption fridge

[@elmandalorian6671]

Very cool brand new trailer... Excellent tour of their manufacturing facilities. Looks like great people work at Winnebago and they really enjoy making RVs...the reflective material is excellent on reducing the solar radiation load.

[@FoolishPrankster]

The Alaska trip will be pretty cool. 👍

[@gi169]

Minni Tinni IV is totally awesome Mr. Robert, but with Starship you have so much more towing capacity. May I ask why not go for a bigger trailer? This question is not a criticism just an inquiry. Thank you for showing your amazing new trailer. Your Alaska trip will, surely, be wonderful. Take care Sir...👍👍👍🍻

[@TravelingRobert]

I don't want a slide. If Winnebago made something like the 2108 without a slide that would be my choice.

[@gi169]

@@TravelingRobert Understood Mr. Robert, I'm listening to ya, just didn't realize there was not other options. Thank you for the response.🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@marierey3888]

After 17 years of flat deck trucking I always wanted to visit a travel factory Thanks a lot for the tour

[@TJB-zt9tx]

With less room what we did was get a cap for the truck. It has 2 side awning doors as well as rear. Inside I put a suspended length adjustable clothes hanging bar on both sides. Relatively inexpensive through Autozone. My wife hung her clothes on one side and mine on the other. We also put one of those plastic drawer units in there for shoes etc. So we turned our 6 foot pickup bed into our closet. The cost of the cap was around $2,700.00. Not cheap but it made life on the road much more reasonable.😊

[@TravelingRobert]

That's a good idea

[@TJB-zt9tx]

@@TravelingRobert I'd send a picture but see no way of doing that here.

[@gi169]

This will be good...🍻🍻🍻

[@ShortChopCQB]

Great stuff.

[@judystreich7333]

Interesting how it all comes together.

[@averagecampers]

Very nice Robert. Enjoyed the tour

[@johnmason-smith]

Just to be clear, Winnebago installed the Starlink in Motion at the factory? That's awesome.

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes, I requested it and they got for me

[@Twobarpsi]

Wow!! What a great RV 🤩!!

[@VolcanoTimeLapse]

Very interesting! All right Robert!

[@mikerostrom]

Love your videos

[@darrylalford8879]

That factory tour was awesome Robert ! One of the best videos yet ! Please say hello to your other half, E. Thank you so much for all you do !

[@Sedan57Chevy]

I love the layout on this, especially all the windows. It seems so light and airy! I bet towing it with the big Silverado has been a dream.

[@larkendelvie]

Looks great - safe travels!

[@Regorybles]

I Stayed for the bonus footage after the end of the credits…

[@n9wdq]

Is that an RC Cola?? I need to find out more about how my walls are attached as they keep coming loose. Where/How? Or can I drop by the factory next time I am in Middlebury? 2529RG

[@TravelingRobert]

I don't know if it is an RC Cole but I can ask

[@fanznoize]

mooie rondleiding door een zeer mooie fabriek, groet uit nederland

[@alvinmousseau1100]

Awesome video

[@chuckwalla2967]

I think your original MT I has the best layout.

[@jeancole95]

It will be great to see you get some use of mini #4 Robert, do you have plans yet?

[@TravelingRobert]

Alaska

[@jeancole95]

Alaska is a beautiful choice, I always wanted to go but you get to do it for me. 😉

[@jeancole95]

I miss seeing you On The Road

[@rafaelugale]

​@@TravelingRobert see on the road

[@rafaelugale]

​@@jeancole95 ok

[@tommyg.9069]

You getting a new Rig?

[@jwagvideos]

Sorry, but you wouldn't catch me in anything that small if I'm spending a third of the year in it! Not quite sure why you'd accept something smaller than what you already have, unless Winnebago doesn't give you a choice.

[@TravelingRobert]

This is exactly what I wanted. No slide, I can get everywhere. Less is more. I could have had any Micro Minnie but this is me.

[@jimharvard]

i don't understand this video. is this suppose to be a "new" RV or is it "new" to you? obviously, with all the counter surfaces cracked from road vibration and potholes, this trailer is NOT "new." the counter top cracks are so evident that i wish you had explained what had happened and if you plan on fixing or replacing these items.

[@TravelingRobert]

I don't see any cracks. it is part of the design

[@donniebraham6156]

Awesome thanks

[@70sGirl67]

Very nice! I love it.

[@joemoore5763]

Fantastic Tour,Robert

[@derick-smith]

It looks like a perfect unit as long as you're under 6'. I can't wait to follow the adventure! It feels like yesterday that you had old Kia pulling the OG Minitini and look at you now!

[@ingeneren]

I remember when the Kia kicked the bucket! You have been doing these travel vlogs for a while Robert! We love them all! Except, come to Michigan when the weather is nice. 😊

[@lgpjr49]

Hey Robert, with your Alaska trip over or just about over, have you thought about doing a post review of minitini 4 and how it held up?

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes. I'll post it after all the Alaska videos. Spoiler: it did really good all things considered.

[@anthonymontoya1537]

That thing is way to small but safe travels

[@AskRemy]

Adam should be required to live full time in an RV for 2 years - day in day out - then design an RV - solar panel wiring is sloppy, I expect better from a brand like Winnebago

[@Lerssinen]

Looks awesome as usual !

[@danredman4480]

Thanks!

[@danredman4480]

Thanks for all the travels you ma not remember us but we met Pigeon Forge at Margaritaville RV Resort my wife said to let you know she loves your music take care and be safe on the road.
