Picked thus up a couple of weeks ago and have been working on the "Daug House" as time permits but have found so little on this model does anyone else have the same model as shown here ,,oh boy with this picture showed the grill!

1977 Minnie Winnie w/350, fiberglass front clip but longer thn others like froggy's I've seen.  65k miles and about as many pinholes in the roof under the attic box.  Think it is a 23' RB . Seen and read some on the dodges but nothing found on this Chevy model.

Would appreciate any and all info y'all could share, if I posted in the wrong area sorry.

Enjoy Life, it's ending sooner than you think.

One of the strange things is that in all the floor plans I've seen in the brochures  always have the fridge  on the passenger side but ours is straight as you walk in the rear door next the the shower wall.

looks an awful lot like my 85 Minnie! 350 and all!

Yes you have the same basic rig as Franks (Froggy1936).  You can view his pictures at http://www.classicwinnebagos.com/forum/index.php?action=mgallery;sa=album;id=109

Franks profile indicates it is a Chevy G30 chassis however Winnebago documentation indicates a P30

You have one of the following models:

MWC24
MWC24D
MWC25
MWC25D

You will need to look at the parts book for those models to figure out which one it is: http://catalog.winnebagoind.com/menu/1977.htm


There is a lot of specification information for those models contained in the 77-80 Winnebago MH Service manual available in the site store: http://www.classicwinnebagos.com/forum/index.php?action=store;sa=view;id=193


There is a small amount of info in the 77 Winnebago brochure: http://www.winnebagoind.com/products/previous-models/1977/pdfs/winnebago/77-Winnebago-bro.pdf

do you have references to the 1985 Minnie Winnie Class C? it seems all I can find is 1984

Froggy1936

Hi Dave I originally had mine listed as a P30 But after seeing factory manuals i changed it to G30  To me it seems that the chassis and suspension are all P30,s They change the designation when they install a van body on that frame to a G30 . Also the G30,s have 350,s and the P30,s have 427,s both can have Turbo 400,s but only 30,s have hydramatic 350,s  I always order parts for a P 30 when i need suspension or brake parts. Thats my take on it anyway Frank

1985 22ft Minnie Winne

Only brochure Winnebago had for 85 was: http://www.winnebagoind.com/products/previous-models/1985/pdfs/winnebago/1985Winnebago.pdf

From that (and the parts book page [http://catalog.winnebagoind.com/menu/1985.htm]) you can see the Minnie Winne came in the following flavors:

WC420RG: http://www.winnebagoind.com/service/wincd/1985/85wc420rg.pdf
WC421RB (Chevy) or WF421RB (Ford): http://www.winnebagoind.com/service/wincd/1985/85wc-wf421rb.pdf
WC424RB: http://www.winnebagoind.com/service/wincd/1985/85wc424rb.pdf
WC424RC: http://www.winnebagoind.com/service/wincd/1985/85wc424rc.pdf
WC426RU: http://www.winnebagoind.com/service/wincd/1985/85wf426ru.pdf

The 84-88 Common Parts file is a companion to the base coach parts book: http://www.winnebagoind.com/service/wincd/1985/1984-1988common.pdf


Chassis info (GVW, etc.) would have to be derived from the Chevy Light duty C K G P service manuals: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=1985+chevy+light+duty&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.X1985+chevy+Glight+duty&_nkw=1985+chevy+G+P+light+duty&_sacat=0.  Winnebago migrated away from the P30 to the G30 Van chassis for Class C rigs in 1980.

thank you very much Dave!

Audog

Hey sorry so slow  in thanking y'all for the help.

Been busy doing some small fixes and haven't been on in a while. 

From the info posted here she's a 25 footer not 23'.

Have really been enjoying working on her and have already cleaned and liquid rubbered the roof, repaired supply lines, cooked a chicken and spent many nights in peaceful Winnebago slumber.

Will be resurfacing the paneling with contact paper soon and have reserved a spot in our local park for my wife's birthday in Dec. (The sole reason I got into the camper thing she got bit by the bug.)
