Winnebago Minnie Winnie 22M vs Coachmen Cross Trail XL 22XG

Winnebago · Class C

The difference that matters

Ford Class Cs of 24 feet, with a large gap in capacity. The Minnie Winnie 22M rides the heavier E-450 with a 350 hp 7.3L V8, a 14,500 lb GVWR and a 7,500 lb tow rating. The Cross Trail XL 22XG uses an E-350 with a 12,500 lb GVWR and a 2,500 lb rating. A 5,000 lb towing difference decides it for anyone pulling a boat or car.

The Minnie Winnie also has a slide with a U-shaped dinette, a rear bedroom and bath, and sleeps five against four. It comes with a 4,000 W gas generator, a 1,000 W inverter, a 15,000 BTU air conditioner, a heated drainage system and a Corian countertop, and its gray tank is much larger at 45 gallons against 28. The Cross Trail is a no-slide layout with heated tank pads and generator prep, and holds 41 gallons of fresh water against 40.

The Cross Trail suits buyers who want fewer moving parts and tow little.

Winnebago Minnie Winnie 22M: Small families who want a slide, a generator and a 7,500 lb tow rating for a boat or car.
Coachmen Cross Trail XL 22XG: Buyers who want a simple no-slide Class C for campground trips without a trailer.
