A 1976 Minnie Winnie is another popular year for this Class C Winnebago. Like most class C's, they run about 26 feet. They often have a chevy 350 engine and automatic transmission. When they are this old, you would expect to see some new replacement parts, such as brakes, wheels, and rims. Also expect to see it recently realigned. Often times they will have a furnace, a water storage tank that may be built-in, a water pump, a water heater (around 5 gallons), septic and water hoses, and a propane tank. Another common feature is an Onan generator, which is a very popular brand of generator for RV's. Sometimes they have their own fuel supply, and sometimes they are connected to the main supply of fuel. Often times, if they are connected to the main supply, they will shut off when the gas reaches a certain low, like a half tank or quarter tank. They also typically have a roof mounted air conditioner as well as dash A/C. The best thing about a 1976 minnie winnie is that if you find one, its probably going to be a great deal. As long as it is in decent shape you can get your RV fix at a pretty low cost!
Like most minnie winnies, a 1976 minnie winnie winnebago will sleep 5 or 6 people. This is often achieved by an over cab bed (sort of like a bunk bed) that will sleep a few people. Frequently you will also see a fold out couch to increase sleeping capacity, with under couch storage. Another strategy employed is to have a dinette table capable of folding down to create another bed. For entertainment you will often come across a TV, usually a smaller one like 13 inches. For music it is typical to have am/fm/cd stereo. Bathrooms are usually pretty standard with toilet, shower, and sink.
The kitchen is where are the juicy stuff can be found. Blenders, refrigerator, freezer (usually electric and/or propane), microwave, and oven with three to four burner stove and a hood with ventilation and lighting are all common kitchen appliances to be found in a 1976 winnebago minnie winnie.
Most 1976 minnie winnies have a trailer hitch. You may also find a TV antenna on the roof. Awnings are key. Almost every class C minniewinnie has one. They usually run about 15 feet. They are critical for the RV experience. A lot of times you will also see large side windows with metal blinds.
