It’s hard to equitably compare the three if you haven’t owned all of them. However, we faced the same choice when we purchased new two years ago. And, we also looked at some others. We looked at all of them, and “apparent” build quality seemed about equal. But you really don’t experience build quality until you’ve lived with the trailer for a few months. Here are the things that swung us in favor of a Micro Minnie:
1. Tandem axles
2. 7ft wide
3. Azdel sidewalls
4. Larger tanks.
5. Full underbody coverage and heated tanks
6. Bigger shower and bathroom.
7. High ground clearance
8. Best R value in class for sidewalls and roof.
Before we made a final decision, we researched the forums to see what owners said about their trailers. Generally speaking, most were happy, all had some complaints, but Micro Minnie owners seemed to us, to be happiest. Plus, there is a Winnebago specific forum with robust discussion of Micro Minnies. Although the Micro Minnie was far more expensive than others, We think we made the right decision, because aside from a few things that I had to DIY fix, our 2108ds has held up well for over 12,000 miles, including lots of boondocking on FS roads.
Good luck shopping. You’ll probably be a happy camper with any of them.
