2019 Winnebago Micro Minnie

Carissa was extremely nice. We had a possible problem that might have caused us to cancel, at only 24 hours ahead of scheduled pick up. Carissa said no problem and we could reschedule at any time in the future. Her husband Damian was very thorough in showing us how to use and set up the trailer. He was very professional and patient with us. The only suggestion I might give to Carissa is to list in detail all the items that are included. Such as: dinner set for 4; 1 dish towel, 1 set of mixing bowls, 2 coffee cups, 4 metal water cups, etc. The listed description only says "includes everything". What does that mean? I ended up bringing a lot of my own kitchen items and towels because I didn't know what "everything" meant. I also brought 2 of my own trash cans. One for trash and one for recycle. The very small bathroom trash bucket was way too small to hold anything. The bed was extremely comfortable with a nice pillow topper, but a bit on the small side for 2 people. There is very limited storage , but we were able to use the 2 bunk beds for boxes of food and our clothes bags. I hung my jackets and other things in the shower.

We rented a 1/2 ton pickup at Enterprise in Ventura and drove to Carissa's house to pick up the trailer. Her husband gave us the hookup lesson and went over each of the trailer's operational systems and then rode with us for a few blocks to an empty street and parking lot to get the hang of backing up. A good and patient teacher, he soon had us safely parking in closely-defined "campsites."

After an easy drive home, navigating into our driveway was challenging but successful! We loaded up the trailer with an unbelievable amount of stuff and prepped for morning departure.

We had originally planned a week's trip to the Eastern Sierras but due to the general fire and smoke closures in the area, had to limit our travel to 3 nights at San Simeon campground near the closed-due-to-covid Hearst Castle. After arrival, checkin, parking and leveling, we slid out the dinette which makes the interior quite spacious and comfortable.

The two bunks in the rear would be perfect for a couple of kids but we filled them with bins and bags of bedding, clothes duffels and other gear. There is ample space for storage but keeping organized on a longer trip would be a challenge for more than one couple I think. Our only issue was with the hot water tank that would not activate no matter what we did. Carissa's husband tried to help via text but we ended up having to boil water for dishes in the teapot we had brought along for pour-overs. Not a big deal but check it before you leave their house to be sure it's solid.

The refrigerator was excellent and capacious; Ice cream and frozen foods would be no issue as long as you have propane or an electrical hookup.

The solar panels charged the battery and provided all the lighting power we needed. The large plastic rug made the dirt campsite a cleaner affair, for sure. The bed was comfortable but smaller than our queen at home.

We dream of retiring someday and seeing the USA from a wonderful RV like this trailer. It was a great chance as newbies to "try before buying" and I'm glad we did! Overall a great experience that we hope to repeat with greater length and distance next time.

We had an amazing time using the trailer, it was perfect for our Morro Bay camping trip. Carissa and Damian were great hosts and kept the trailer very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Perfect family camping trip and we’ll definitely look to book again next year!

Carissa and Damion -

Both Wonderful to work with ! It was an amazing trip ...

I would recommend and rent from them again.

Carissa's Micro Winnie trailer was perfect! It's self contained with everything you'd need but without being too large and unwieldy to tow. The bed was super comfortable, and I appreciated the little touches like Bluetooth stereo inside and out, lighting, and chairs. Carissa was a pleasure to deal with too, as she was quick to respond, answered all my questions, and was able to work with me on my return time.

I would definitely rent from Carissa again!

What a fabulous way to adventure! We were more than impressed with this beautiful Minnie Winnie. We have 2 kids, 4 and 1, and this made the experience of camping possible while maintaining a nap schedule and regular bedtimes. We are definitely booking another trip with Carissa.

- excellent attention to detail - fully stocked with supplies - super friendly, attentive and professional owners - very comfortable beds - great appliances (we used the stove a lot and it reaches temp fast), hot water, and all around beautiful amenities.

You will not be disappointed!
