Our first RV trip in a 2005 Winnebago Minnie. I don't know why they call it a Minnie because at 29 feet this RV is a big class c. Equipped with 2 slide outs, a bedroom, kitchen, shower, living room and bathroom. I had family down in Arizona and it's cold as a witches tit in a tin can up in Idaho. So we drove 1200 miles south to Tucson Arizona and Saguaro National Park. It was the first stop on our three stop tour of Arizona and our first stay was at Gilbert Ray Campground. There's a lot to learn in a new RV and even though we were in the dessert, it was cold! And keeping the RV warm while not running through our propane was our first challenge. In this video we take you through Gilbert Ray campground, hiking Saguaro National Park, share some RV knowledge and visit the old Hollywood Western Backlot of Old Tucson.
