This guy could NEVER be a politician! He is straight to the point and tells the truth. Great video.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thanks!

[@thedancingdutchman2874]

I would like to compliment you on your English. From your accent, it would appear English is your second language, yet you have an admirable mastery and it is a pleasure to listen as you convey your ideas.

[@BrokerBarbara119]

Robert I've been following your adventures for a while and I just love the marketing you are doing ! The decals are fabulous! I love the dinette replacement! You are so clever!

[@loug.6644]

Hi Robert I've seen your video review on this Travel Trailer, you do a great job. I'm in Canada and doing some research on Winnebago, thank you so much for your information, it is extremely valuable and you do an amazing job of being honest and truthful on how the RV is holding up year after year and people like me really value your efforts. Keep up the great work! Cheers!

[@maryrothfuchs9404]

I have watched a few of yours and both last year and this year of your "yearly" review.. GREAT video. These really show how things can break down, get dirty, and work or don't work. Thank you! I had a small teardrop camper that I had to sell and sometimes I really miss camping. I keep looking for nice campers or toy haulers (since I ride a motorcycle too) and your videos are eye openers! Thanks again.

[@kennethrohr7765]

I cannot tell you how many times I banged my head on our awning! Finally got smart and just hung one long knick knack at the lowest point and no more head butts! Anything that looks nice, can be stored when not in use, and is soft.

[@austinrowland4401]

Thank u so much for making these videos you always make me happy when I'm having a bad day your such an inspiring person

[@timh3576]

Happy Birthday, Minnie Tinnie!

[@psmithrpm]

Thank you for the walk-thru. It was very useful.

[@leeannhend]

Love, love, love your videos! Your modifications are great. I have a Micro Minnie 2106FBS & heading for Canada for 2 weeks. Can't wait to fish, camp & pick blueberries.

[@starrynightk]

Hi. How are you liking the 2106? We're looking at the 2106ds and would love any feedback from a real owner. Thanks.

[@annettefournier9655]

I need to save your videos for when I can't sleep. Not that you are boring. It's your voice is so soothing.

[@YTMegiddo]

I know right... what a great voice? And what a wonderful attitude. "My drawer of mystery's"!

[@jsijanta]

fell asleep to some videos already. ...sooo relaxing.

[@billavara]

I love your reviews of your winnie, and how you see life and stuff. Plus you have a marvelous soothing voice. Your family is lucky to listen to you daily :)

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@thomlinz77]

Thanks again R.M. minitini is looking good!

[@WhatsNextAmy]

Love the update, and always your videos! You should be some type of travel coordinator, I have been in south Florida my whole life and then I watch your video and it is like I am seeing it for the first time. Even the most mundane places I have been to 100 times seeing it through you is like, WOW! Went to the Keys recently wanted to show it off like you do, fell flat! LOL Thank you for sharing.

[@robrobinhembram305]

All good things come to an end.

[@llkoolbean4935]

Well done. I like the table. We have a forest river hybrid 19 and this gave me an idea to replace our horrible dinette. You're right, it's really the memories that make it worth while. Happy camping! 😁

[@TravelingRobert]

+Liana Mori Thank you. Happy camping to you!

[@ngml320]

I have learned a lot form you Robert Thank you..

[@DizTraveler]

Well now....after watching this how you stated towards the end.."We will be shooting to hit Nebraska for the Eclipse"--and now seeing your actually still East of the ol' Mississippi River...at a great spot I do have to say so myself! Have a great time catching the Moon!!

[@RobC41]

Great video, very interesting to see all the modification you have completed and the plans for the future. You gave me some ideas for my 2016 Grey Wolf 22RR Toy Hauler. Safe travels!

[@michaelcroom2601]

Thanks for the review Robert. Looks like the Winnebago has held up good. I know where I live there aren't many dealerships that sell the Winnebago. Got to go at least 400 miles. And then they charge an arm or a leg for one. Thanks again for the review. .

[@klouism1]

Thanks for the tour. You have made some good changes.

[@TravelingRobert]

You're welcome

[@moejon]

Robert, I have been so entertained by a video about campers until I saw yours! You go boy ! I loved it!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you, glad you liked it :-)

[@SocratesWS]

Hi Robert,thanks a lot for yet another very entertaining and at the same time quite instructive video.Wish you all the best for the remainder of your trip.Greetings from William in Bruges,Belgium

[@maried6673]

Awesome!!I hope to have a Minnie RV one day😊

[@davec5615]

Nice video, thanks. I'm looking at this same floor plan, it's very useful to see someone reviewing after 3 years!

[@TravelingRobert]

It is small, but a very good floor plan. We liked it since we saw it for the first time

[@colinblake24]

Nice tour

[@bineausmiami]

Thank you Robert, I enjoy watching your videos. Love your sticker. Also living in Florida, but sending greetings from Redmond, Oregon. The eclipse was awesome. Look like I might full time next year ;)

[@billj7460]

Thank you for posting another update. I like the new sticker on the front of the RV. I'm happy that the dinette is gone....

[@huengo3834]

Mr. Robert ,I love your blogs so much, I'm a new resident to this country by watching your blog I exposed to many beautiful view, and good content,now I have to find time to watch all the videos.thanks

Thank you, enjoy!

[@TheTomar33]

You should share your ideas with the manufacturer. Great video.

[@brianpetersen3429]

I liked your "drawer of mysteries".

[@TravelingRobert]

+Brian Petersen 😃

[@lindanerney9896]

That was cute. We all have one of those drawers.

[@hero2006]

Great video. I just signed a contract on a 2018 1706FB Platinum. Picking up tomorrow in Sanford, FL. Winnebago should sponsor you. Your channel is the primary reason I made the purchase. I'm going to live in it full time in Cocoa, FL. Safe travels.

[@glennrubel4326]

Very interesting.

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3163]

Great video! Thank you for sharing. I am considering on getting one because they are so compact love the idea that you can tow with an SUV. I too am from Florida. ☀️

[@AskRemy]

I like these videos because you were free to say what you wanted - pure

[@debmarie55]

Great video review.

[@Iceify_]

Hey robert thanks for vid I was in Columbia south carloina because charlston was cloudy

[@mitchtivi]

If you have access to you're holding thank, you can install the garmet seelevel system. The sensor are install outside the tank and the indication is in %. It also work with the propane and the batery. you ca use the existing wire but simply install garmet panet and sensor. They alway's give you a perfect reading of level. i have install it on my winnebago rialta and it's the best upgrade i have ever put!

[@TravelingRobert]

I have to figure out how to remove the underbelly, and then I'll do that

[@TheTravelVlogger]

Awesome video!

[@rockwestfahl]

Your trailer looks like it is holding up well.

[@sesquashtwo]

Bought the 2018 year model of this trailer. Love it, in every way. I pull my 2018 1706FB with a 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan, with the OEM Mopar Class 3 tow package...and get with the trailer packed out for a road trip, (in Ontario, Canada), 13.5-14.5 mpg at 60 mph on the highway, on Cruise Control. You always get the best mileage from your car or truck, if you let the Cruise Control computer, do fuel calculations and not your slow to react, foot. So, very happy with my tow mileage, and it pulls like a dream with using a Reese V5 weight distribution hitch, with anti-sway control built in. Like you, the only complaint, I have with my unit...and it is not a Winnebago induced complaint...is that yes...the Dometic 13,500 BTU air-conditioner, can be quite loud, in fan operation. But...I realize that you are running it in a restricted-of-sense, space...but like you...two nights or days in...and my brain acclimatized to the sound...and it no longer bothers me. Only when I have some guests, but...as far as it working...WOW...what a job...we had a real-feel day two weeks ago of 94 F...and inside the RV...it was an awesome humidity-free 72 degrees (which I feel comfortable at. The floor plan is great for one or two up RVing...and the fact that you DO NOT have to worry about the eventual cost of a slide out...in repair...or just the maintenance, is a great feature. You have plenty of room between the non-moving dinette and the kitchen/fridge space...to move freely back and forth between the Queen bed, and the bathroom. Lots of room to change your clothes, from day to night wear...and the Dinette will sleep one adult, or two children, 12 year old or younger. Another last thought...for a young couple that right now does not have one or two children...this is the perfect coach. For when you do have a couple of kids....you are good to go with them sleeping on the converted Dinette. When they lose interest (they all do!) around 14 years old and on...no need to downsize...and your RV, has been paid for by then, for years and years. This 7 foot wide, 3180 pounds dry...trailer is MEANT, to tow across the Nation, if you should wish to. It will not bankrupt you in fuel costs...at 20 feet, stem to stern, you can camp even on sites meant for tents...and won't be locked out of sites, because you can't jack-knife into cramped restricted ones...and-----> not too many people when looking at trailer lengths..give that much thought! I have seen many camping families having to leave the trailer park, because they on their tour, could not find a suitable campsite/lot to back their 27-35 footer into. Anyways...keep the yearly updates, coming...and I as a co-owner, will enjoy reading them! Cheers...

[@sesquashtwo]

@Walter V. Absolutely not...but you do need a good quality equalizer hitch. Also, if you have the Mopar O.E.M tow package on your Caravan, then you will also have pneumatic load leveler(s), that do a fine job of (along with the weight distribution/equalizer hitch) leveling the Caravan AND the 1706FB perfectly level. The other thing I suggest, for best use of the Dodge Grand Caravan, is to NEVER use the ECO setting, AND....always start off slowly, and allow the engine and v-6 torque to carry you up to (if on the highway, no more than 60 MPH) cruising speed. That way, you will not put undo stress on the front wheel drive, and the velocity joints. Once I get to my 55/60 mph on the highway, I set the Caravan to Cruise (60) and let the computer do the talking. So...yes...you can tow this trailer to the max pull weight of the Caravan 3,800 lbs...and if you allow for time to let the transmission 'take' you gently up to your final speed...whether 40 or 60 MPH...you will have a great experience. The main point to remember...is to GENTLY apply gas upon starting up...as that will not over-stress the tranny, and the constant velocity u-joints of the front wheel drive. Once at 40 or 60 MPH, the V-6 has no problem maintaining those (for example) speed goals.

[@ratherbfishing455]

Thanks so much!

[@TravelingRobert]

You're welcome

[@rogerchouinard3180]

Thank you very much !! 😎

[@philc.9280]

Your best improvement is the drop down desk/table to replace the dinette. Can be used for eating , pleasure or business use. Great idea! Didn't know ikea carried this item.

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes, it is pretty good. I'm thinking of some improvements though.

[@Boojyman]

what kind of improvements?

[@pumbhausa5906]

Hi Robert - you might consider changing the orientation of new closet door (and perhaps the one below it) so it hinges on the right and opens from the left. This should be easy to achieve. By doing this it will not interfere with your light and it will also not interfere with the walkway to the entrance door..... just a thought ...

[@bobshaw4063]

Good suggestion .

[@thomasdipaolo2349]

nice review

[@timothypinchin8007]

Loved it brother! very informative, honest and easy to understand. the view of the roof was perfect as not many others, especially salesmen will show you this. Good thing too cause the factory caulking job is terrible and It showed me the front wrap does not continue over the top. loved the "drawer of mysteries" cheers!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you. Next month I'm making a video "After 4 years"

[@drew8642]

I think all basement storage compartments that go deep would be really good if there was full extension slide drawer period it just better design.

[@stevemiller7215]

Thanks Robert. Your always straight up with us. I got a 2017 Kia and pulling a 3000 lb trailer. It pulls well so far but I haven't challenged some of the bigger hills. It's the v6. Well prob test one of these virginia hills soon. Maybe Shenandoah NP. I'll let you know how it goes.

[@aantonio1965]

Hi. I'm thinking about buying a Used 2017 Winnebago Industries Towables Minnie Plus 170K and towing it with my 2019 Toyota 4Runner. So how did it go towing it with the Kia so far?

[@gregoryvg]

Robert, love your channel - so glad I found it. You mention how terrible the speakers are. I would think it would be easy enough to replace them with something higher quality since they are already wired and in place, just remove the speaker covers (not always as easy as it sounds), unscrew old speakers and screw new ones in place. Have you considered doing that? Probably the Jensen head unit is part of the problem as well - that would be a more expensive upgrade, but may be worth considering if you like to listen to music in and around your travel trailer. Keep up the awesome shows!

[@takayama1638]

Good job Robert. And, I'll check those rad power bikes, looks good. You gave me a good idea with table. I'm in out trailer now, still have the original removable table from 19 years ago! Takes up too much space. Oh me, I had not subscribed! Fixed that!!

[@Berrypancakes229]

I'm viewing your videos from NM. Hopefully you come and visit sometime.

[@kiwimajic1]

Robert great video..glad you went with my advice ..with a truma hot water ...now for the battery get a ctek battery charger..with reconditioning mode...I will highly recommend....it will bring back your battery to new condition. ..keep up the great videos. .!!!

[@TravelingRobert]

+kiwimajic1 Truma so far an outstanding product.

[@LomilomiHealing]

Mahalo 4 the great vid & info!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you

[@smithk6977]

👍👏thanks for sharing🙋

[@FaithwalkerTodd]

If you make it to Sarasota, let me know. We could do a Barbecue on the beach. Little bit of boating. Love your videos.

[@amarmot3635]

If you haven't resealed your exterior trim, running lights, etc., it's past time to do it. Use Geocel Proflex instead of silicone. There are several KZbin videos that show how, but some mistakenly use silicone, so ignore that part. Proflex is so easy to use. Just wet your finger with detergent & water to smooth it out. On the roof, of course, use Dicor self-leveling caulk. But you already know about that.

[@biker_dudefastlane9339]

It's an easy mod to replace the speakers. I replaced both my outside and inside with some quality speakers that sound really good.

[@TravelingRobert]

I'm thinking of replacing my inside speakers and the stereo too at some point. The outside speakers I'll probably never use.

[@Berrypancakes229]

Thanks for giving us a review on your Micro Minnie. It has all the amenities you need. Nice RV. Do you need full hookups in order to use The tankless water heater? You did some great modifications to fit your needs.

[@thehomeplatespecial597]

I agree with you about window preference. Does any little travel trailers come with windows you can open fully like you are talking about. Also which 6 cylinder kia do you have. is it front wheel 🚗 drive? what is your next model trailer going to be, like what is your dream trailer? Love your videos!

[@mfhairstream6812]

I have the same sticker map but I have a lot of traveling to catch up to you.

[@timothyblazer1749]

FYI they calibrate those sensors to be shy on purpose. People tend to use waste tanks even after they say full, and drain water from water tanks even if it says it is very close to empty, so they just set the sensors to report incorrectly to protect people from themselves ;-)

[@jeffdurling100]

Robert, I see you got to Markham Park. We finally got back down to S. Florida three weeks ago and stayed a couple of nights there. Not the same place it used to be. There were a lot more trees and shade. Oh, well. The park has a lot to do but the campground is nothing special. Not bad and serves a purpose. The roof vent would be helpful to you. The Fantastic Fan Ultra Breeze ones are pretty good but be sure to get the bug screen as well to prevent any Wasps, etc from building a nest in it. If you ever see a Candy Apple Red pulling a great/ black micro Mini similar to yours, be sure to say hi.

[@khunopie9159]

Nice presentation as per usual Robert! Wrote some alternate lyrics for you- B'cuz I'm Free, Sponge Rob's R-Vee yah-ee yaaaa....!

[@karen6187]

Robert I love this video - first one I've watched of yours. I'd like to pass on a kind of 'hack' about your awning poles and how you said you were always hitting your head on it. I know the feeling - my friend's RV was the same way for me and I'm SHORT lol. Okay, here's the hack: go to Walmart or Kmart and buy a few of those pool 'noodles' (long, and made out of soft padding of some sort, I'm sure you've seen them). What you do is measure the poles that you want covered (I'd get the thick ones if they have them). After you figure out how many feet you need to cover buy them, and when you get them home take a sharp knife or scissors that will cut through that stuff (or cutting tool you prefer) and run a straight line all the way down but don't SLICE IT IN HALF! It's meant to slide OVER the poles so that they are padded. MAKE SURE YOUR CUTTING LINE IS STRAIGHT - mark it with a Sharpie waterproof pen. I watched a video here somewhere about this and it was an awesome idea. No more headaches or bumps on the head! Plus you can choose the color or colors you like and right now (end of summer, beginning of fall) most pool supplies are on sale right now everywhere. I plan to do this with mine. It's so simple, and they slide right one and off so easily. So long to banging your head every time you forget to duck, LOL! I hope this explanation is clear, I think it is. Happy and safe travels to you!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you, that's a great hack

[@notafraid06]

Build that wall!

[@ngml320]

Robert you have definitely gotten your monies worth with Minnie Tinni

[@albertogorrin2860]

Very informative Robert thanks, would love to know more about your ring, hence at the end of this year Im considering the same 2018 -19 model.. gracias amigo.

[@TravelingRobert]

You're welcome. Lookout in September for the 4 year review, with all my upgrades and modifications.

[@carmas54]

Good storage for a rifle case :-)

[@zenchickthatbuildsstuff]

Lol your Funny!!!! Good video!!!

[@philoeolivarria448]

I think its industry standard to have a fantastic fan in your RV....I think that's the first upgrade that people do........

[@TravelingRobert]

Definitely top 5

[@tomirwin4819]

I'm so glad you mentioned the crappy speakers that Winnebago puts on their over $100K RVs as well... I think someone at Winnebago is stuck in the 1970s.. I don't want 2 holes cut in the side of my vehicle for speakers..

[@TravelingRobert]

Agreed. I'd rather have a nice bluetooth speaker... the stereo is not that great either.

[@shannonrinehart4635]

Robert, if you upgraded the stereo to Bluetooth and switched the speakers out for some good one, that would probably fix your problems.

[@sgit1]

Surprising for its size, it doesn't look cramped inside. I wonder if it's used full-time by some people.

[@marcelittalabonitta]

I am so in love with your way of living! Any desire to upgrade or is this RV a keeper for life? Please post more similar videos!

[@TravelingRobert]

A small class C or B+ might be in our future, but for now this size trailer is exactly what we need.

[@thekellycorner]

Nice RV... I think you should find a spot for a TV.

[@brettfoster8519]

Hi Robert, Hello from Jensen Beach Florida. Like you I have a mini TT, keystone Passport 151ml. Have been watching your videos and they are always very entertaining and informative. Have you made any upgrades to your battery. At this time I only have one marine deep cycle battery that unit came with and not sure if I should add another or go with 6 volt. Any suggestions.

[@tonibarbre3715]

Hi I enjoy your video! Who are you traveling with?

[@rdsginia7499]

I just heard your voice in a commercial. Did you do voice-overs before you started your channel or is this a recent development. Excellent job, BTW. You are a talented man. I also enjoyed the tour of your micro mini.

[@TravelingRobert]

I haven't done voice work. Thank you!

[@jamescarrington9700]

Hi Robert I appreciate your video's, I have the same trailer and problem with hitting my head on the awning frame. I found a partial solution by tying a bright fluorescent green piece of para cord to the frame where I usually bump my head. My peripheral vision sees it hanging down and warns me to duck before I hit the metal frame. The cord hangs only about 6 inches. I remove it when I roll up the awning so it doesnt get tangled or jam up the works.

[@TravelingRobert]

That's a good idea

[@kirbola]

I actually bought a 1706FB mainly due to your videos which I like a lot. Looking back I just cant like that small shower. I wish I would have bought the 2106FBS which is perfect in small size and has a slide out. Unfortunately, my depreciation is so much I can not justify trading it in this year. Things I do not like at all. Shower size, Gray water tank size, no suspension on the trailer, weak back bumper ( I had to have mine welded), speakers in and out are useless. I have added a webooster, wifi extender, usb plugs, 12 volt plugs, 30lb tanks, two batteries, just to name a few.

[@albertogorrin2860]

thanks for the info, Im considering purchasing one.

[@philoeolivarria448]

No suspension?

[@n2dabloo]

Excellent presentation. Love your voice too. You’d make an awesome narrator.

[@christopherrussell4128]

Just bought one! What MPG do you get with your SUV?

[@nofi8440]

Amigo, I am entertaining the idea of buying one of those to travel around for fin. Which model and brand would you recommend? I have a wife and 2 small children.

[@mikep.2551]

Hi Robert i dont see a link to your power jack would you mind putting that one in here. Thx

[@watermain48]

Thanks for the ongoing videos about your RV. What are you towing it with?

[@TravelingRobert]

My old 2004 Kia Sorento

[@pullmyfinger5138]

From what I've read the one of the selling points is the roof is walkable.

[@TravelingRobert]

I'm doing the 4 year version of this soon.

[@vagari889]

What did it cost to replace the water heater? Did you do it yourself or have someone do it?

[@grandmapatty1493]

Did you record on video the faucet fix? I'm trying to learn all I can about RV's before I make a purchase. I have not seen a double sink in the Minnie's. I will definitely be looking at the height of the black tank release. Thanks for all the great info.

[@TravelingRobert]

No video of the faucet fix, but it is pretty straightforward. Actually the screws are in a place where you can't really see it so I pretty much did it all by feel.
