The short answer

Pierce RV has the Winnebago Access travel trailer for sale at both Montana stores, Billings and Great Falls. We carry six floor plans: the 15BH, 15RB, 16BH, 18RK, 18DBH and 25RK. Five of the six are single or tandem axle trailers between 21 and 22 feet 6 inches, all under 3,900 pounds dry, which puts them inside the capability of a half ton pickup and a lot of mid size SUVs. The 25RK is the big one at 29 feet with a slide. Every Access has a fully enclosed and heated underbelly, a 30,000 BTU furnace and Winnebago's Tuff-Coat metal exterior. Prices on our lot generally run from about $20,000 to the low thirties, and Montana charges no general statewide sales tax. Call Billings on 406-655-8000 or Great Falls on 406-761-3520, or browse every Access we have in stock.

Winnebago Access floor plans for sale at Pierce RV

Winnebago builds the Access in more layouts than this. The six below are the ones we actually keep for sale on the ground in Montana, because they are the ones that sell here. Five are short and light enough for a half ton, and the sixth gives you a slide and a proper rear kitchen when you want the room.

Lengths are overall including the hitch. The jump from the 18DBH to the 25RK is nearly seven feet and almost 2,700 pounds, which is the real decision point in this range.

The short plans: 15BH, 15RB, 16BH

All three sit at roughly 21 feet and between 3,496 and 3,772 pounds dry. They are the easiest Access trailers to tow, store and park, and they are what most first time buyers here end up with. The 15RB is the couples layout with a rear bath. The 15BH and 16BH both put bunks in the back, and the 16BH squeezes six berths into 21 feet 2 inches by converting the dinette, which is the most beds per foot on our lot.

The middle: 18RK and 18DBH

Around 22 feet and under 3,900 pounds, so they tow like the short plans but give you meaningfully more room. The 18RK puts a full kitchen across the back wall, which is the layout to pick if you actually cook. The 18DBH does something unusual for its size and fits double over double bunks, so it sleeps eight in 22 feet. If you have three or four kids and a half ton, that is the one to look at first.

The big one: 25RK

Twenty nine feet, 6,558 pounds dry, one slide and a rear kitchen. This is a different class of trailer to the other five and it needs a different truck. What you get is a living area you can move around in with the slide out and storage that does not run out on a two week trip. It is the Access for people who camp in one spot for a week at a time rather than moving every night.

Floor plan availability moves through the season and the bunk plans go first in spring. Check live Access inventory or call and we will hold one for you.

What every Winnebago Access comes with

The Access is the value line, so it is worth being specific about what is actually standard rather than talking in generalities. These are the things that matter on a trailer used in this state.

Cold weather protection

A fully enclosed underbelly with radiant foil insulation, heated pass through storage and a 30,000 BTU furnace. That combination is what keeps your tanks and lines from freezing on a cold night in September or late October, and it is not standard on every trailer at this price. It is the single biggest reason we recommend the Access over cheaper competitors for Montana buyers.

Structure and running gear

  • NXG engineered frame
  • Tuff-Coat metal exterior, chosen for durability rather than looks
  • Dexter E-Z Lube axles with load range E tires
  • One piece TPO roof membrane
  • Shower surround instead of wallboard, which is what stops rot starting in the bathroom
  • Power tongue jack and a powered patio awning with LED lighting

Inside

Full overlay European style cabinetry, carpetless slideouts on the 25RK, roller shades, a 10 cubic foot 12 volt refrigerator, a recessed three burner cooktop, a 1.1 cubic foot microwave and a 30 by 36 inch shower with a large skylight. Tandem axle plans add a tankless water heater so you are not waiting on a tank to reheat, and a 60 gallon fresh water tank.

Worth knowing. Winnebago changes standard equipment every model year and some items vary by floor plan. Ask us to pull the build sheet for the exact unit you are looking at rather than working from a brochure or from this page. We will print it for you.

What you need to tow a Winnebago Access

This is the part that decides whether the trailer you like is the trailer you can buy, and it is worth getting right before you fall for a floor plan.

Dry weight is not what you tow. Dry weight is the trailer as it leaves the factory with no water, propane, batteries, cargo or dealer installed options. Loaded for a real trip it is commonly 1,000 to 1,500 pounds heavier. Match your vehicle to the loaded number and the loaded tongue weight, not the figure on the spec sheet.

Rough tow vehicle guidance
Floor plans Dry weight Realistic loaded What pulls it
15BH, 15RB, 16BH3,496 to 3,772 lb4,500 to 5,000 lbAny half ton. Many mid size SUVs and trucks once you check payload.
18RK, 18DBH3,850 to 3,900 lb4,900 to 5,400 lbAny half ton comfortably. Mid size SUVs are borderline, check payload carefully.
25RK6,558 lb7,800 to 8,500 lbA well specced half ton at minimum. Three quarter ton if you load it or tow in the mountains.

The number that fails first is almost never towing capacity. It is payload, printed on the yellow sticker inside your driver door jamb. Tongue weight, every passenger, the hitch hardware and everything in the bed all come out of that figure. Bring your vehicle when you visit and we will pull the sticker, work out your real remaining payload with your family and gear accounted for, and tell you straight if the plan you want is too much for it. We would rather sell you the 18RK than sell you a problem.

We also fit and adjust weight distribution hitches and sway control at both stores, with the trailer loaded rather than empty. That is not an upsell, it is the difference between a trailer that tracks behind you on I-90 and one that fights you the whole way. Book it through parts and service.

What a Winnebago Access costs in Montana

Our Access inventory generally runs from around $20,000 for a single axle plan up to the low thirties for the 25RK. Discounts on this line are large and routine, commonly $6,000 to $14,000 off MSRP, which tells you something useful: sticker MSRP on travel trailers is close to meaningless. Ignore the crossed out number entirely and compare the actual selling price between dealers.

No Montana sales tax

Montana does not charge a general statewide sales tax. For a Montana resident buying and registering here, that removes a line item worth thousands in most other states. Registration and titling go through your county treasurer, so confirm your own fees with them. If you live out of state you will generally owe sales or use tax when you register at home no matter where you bought it. We handle out of state paperwork properly, and we do not set up or advise on Montana LLC arrangements. Talk to your own accountant about that.

Financing

We finance through a panel of national RV lenders with terms up to 20 years depending on amount and unit age, and approvals often come back the same day. On a first trailer it is worth rolling the hitch, sway control, a service agreement and insurance into the one payment, because the gear adds up faster than people expect. Start a secure credit application whenever you are ready, or get a number on your current rig through trade in value.

The difference between the 16BH and the 18DBH is obvious in about thirty seconds standing in them, and almost impossible to judge from photographs. Both stores keep Access units open and ready to walk through.

Access, Micro Minnie or Thrive

We stock three Winnebago travel trailer families and they are aimed at genuinely different buyers. Here is the honest split.

Stay with the Access if

  • You need to sleep five or more and bunks are not negotiable.
  • Budget is the deciding factor and you want the most trailer per dollar.
  • You are mostly at private parks and lake sites with room to manoeuvre.
  • You want a simple solid wall trailer with no slide to maintain.

Look at the others if

  • Towing makes you nervous or your campsites are tight. Try the Micro Minnie and its 7 foot width.
  • You dry camp more than you plug in and want solar as standard, which the Micro Minnie has.
  • The interior finish matters more than the price. That is the Thrive.
  • You are still deciding between all three. Start with our Winnebago buying guide for Montana.

Using a Winnebago Access in Montana

Montana is hard on trailers. Hundred degree afternoons on the Hi-Line, twenty below in January, wind on I-90 that shoves a tall trailer around, and county gravel that finds every weak fastener. The Access holds up better than most at its price, but where you camp should still shape which plan you buy.

Going-to-the-Sun Road

People ask constantly, so plainly: you cannot take any travel trailer over it. The National Park Service limit is 21 feet for the whole combination including bumpers, and your tow vehicle plus even the shortest Access is well past that. Leave the trailer at a campground in Apgar or St. Mary and drive the Sun Road in your tow vehicle if it clears the limit on its own, or take the park shuttle. The alpine section is seasonal too, usually open from late June to around the third Monday of October. There is a diagram of the limit in our Winnebago Montana guide.

Keeping it going

Three jobs matter more than everything else combined on a trailer like this. Annual roof and sealant inspection, because Montana sun and freeze thaw cycling destroy lap sealant. Brake, bearing and axle service every year, because gravel roads and long hauls make it a wear item here rather than an occasional one. And winterizing before the first hard freeze rather than after it. We do all three at both stores, whether or not you bought from us. Both locations also offer RV storage, which matters given HOA rules across Billings and Great Falls.

Winnebago Access questions we get asked

Who sells the Winnebago Access in Montana?

Pierce RV stocks the Winnebago Access at both Montana stores, Billings at 3800 Pierce Parkway and Great Falls at 4200 10th Avenue South. We usually hold around fifteen Access trailers across six floor plans between the two lots. See current Access inventory for what is on the ground today.

Which Winnebago Access floor plans does Pierce RV carry?

Six: the 15BH, 15RB, 16BH, 18RK, 18DBH and 25RK. Five of those sit between 21 and 22 feet 6 inches and under 3,900 pounds dry. The 25RK is the outlier at 29 feet and 6,558 pounds with a slide. Winnebago builds other Access plans, and we can order one, but those six are what we stock.

How much does a Winnebago Access cost in Montana?

Our Access inventory generally runs from about $20,000 for a single axle plan up to the low thirties for the 25RK. Discounts off MSRP on this line are routinely $6,000 to $14,000, so ignore the crossed out sticker and compare the actual selling price. Montana charges no general statewide sales tax, which takes thousands off what the same trailer costs a resident of most other states. Advertised pricing is live on each listing.

What can tow a Winnebago Access?

Five of our six plans sit under 3,900 pounds dry with a tongue weight in the 350 to 450 pound range, so a half ton pickup handles them easily and many mid size SUVs can too once you check the numbers. The 25RK at 6,558 pounds dry wants a well specced half ton at minimum and a three quarter ton if you load it up. The figure that decides it is your vehicle payload, printed on the yellow sticker in the driver door jamb, not the advertised towing capacity.

Is the Winnebago Access good for Montana winters?

Better than most trailers at its price. Every Access has a fully enclosed underbelly with radiant foil insulation and heated pass through storage, plus a 30,000 BTU furnace. That is what protects your tanks and lines on a cold night in the Little Belts or at elk camp in late October. For stationary winter use you still want skirting, a heated water hose and a tank heater pad, and we stock all three.

What is the difference between the Access and the Micro Minnie?

Width and price. The Access is a full 8 feet wide, comes in more family layouts, sleeps up to 8 and costs less per foot. The Micro Minnie is 7 feet wide, which makes it noticeably easier to tow and lets it into campsites an Access will not fit, and it comes with 200 watt solar and heated holding tanks as standard. Pick the Access for beds and budget, the Micro Minnie for towing ease and campsite access.

Does the Winnebago Access have a slide?

Only the 25RK among the plans we stock. The 15BH, 15RB, 16BH, 18RK and 18DBH are all solid wall with no slide, which means fewer seals to maintain, less to go wrong, and full use of the trailer without deploying anything. For a lot of Montana buyers that is a feature rather than a compromise.

Can I tow an Access on Going-to-the-Sun Road?

No. The National Park Service limit is 21 feet for the whole combination including bumpers, and your tow vehicle plus any Access is well past that. No travel trailer of any size clears it. Park the trailer at Apgar or St. Mary and drive the Sun Road in your tow vehicle if it is under the limit on its own, or take the park shuttle. More on sizing in our Winnebago Montana guide.

Does Pierce RV service the Winnebago Access?

Yes, at both stores, warranty and out of warranty, and whether or not you bought it from us. The jobs that matter most on this trailer are annual roof and sealant inspection, brake and bearing service because of Montana gravel, and winterizing before the first hard freeze.

Can I order an Access floor plan you do not have?

Usually yes. We can dealer trade for one or place a factory order for the model year, floor plan and option package you want. Call either store and we will give you a realistic lead time before you commit.

Do you take trade ins on an Access purchase?

Yes, on RVs and boats, and it does not have to have been bought from us. Bring it in or start online with photos and the VIN for a written appraisal.

How far is Pierce RV from Bozeman, Helena or Missoula?

Bozeman is about 1.5 hours west of the Billings store on I-90. Helena is about 1.5 hours south of Great Falls on I-15. Missoula is roughly 2.5 to 3 hours west of Great Falls. Call ahead and we will have the trailer unlocked and ready when you arrive.

Tell us what you tow with

Year, make, model and what the yellow payload sticker says. That one answer narrows six floor plans down to two in about ten minutes, and it stops you buying a trailer your truck cannot carry.
