Thanks for showing us your trailer. Glad you are satisfied with your purchase. Happy camping and God Bless you both. Peace for now!
You are very welcome! Thank you for your kind words!
Hello. We just ordered an Imagine 2500 RL this week. It is expected mid October. I love the ideas you have shared and truly enjoy your videos. We are retired and have never been camping. Looking forward to a new venture in life.
Many Blessings to you and Stan.
Hi Cheryl, We can absolutely relate to your excitement! We were in the same boat about this time last year. The waiting was the hard part, but shopping for all the "necessities" and planning out trips certainly helped pass the time. We would highly suggest a shake-down trip close to home as your first planned trip. This will help you both get comfortable with camping, towing, and help you figure out what you still may need. Be patient with yourselves and embrace the adventure!! Please keep us posted on your adventures. If you have an Instagram, please follow us and we would love to follow you! Many blessings! Rhonda and Stan
Love it that you sat on the toilet! I'm putting this trailer on the list.
Shara Mills, I made the mistake with the last trailer. I did not fit!! Thanks for stopping by and watching our video. Please watch our 6 moth review video. We tell it like it is. However, we love our trailer!! See you on the road soon!! Stan and Rhonda
Nice video! On our RV, for a pull out under the dinette seats, on one side we use a boot tray, on the other side I use a small laundry basket. Easy and light weight. Glad y'all are having fun in returement! We retired when we were 53, and love it!
MsMonet, Great tip!! Thanks for the comment. We are staying active and having a blast!! Thanks for stopping by, Stan and Rhonda
I really enjoy your channel. We recently purchased the 2022 model of this trailer. It should arrive any day now. I have found your videos about storage and safety tips very helpful. We live in Canada so we won’t be able to make use of your travel videos yet. Hopefully the border will reopen again soon and we can find some warmer locations for the winter.
Hello Susan Todd from Canada,
Thank for your kind words and supporting our channel by watching our videos. I too hope the borders will open soon. We have so many Canadians that stay in our home town Lake Havasu City Arizona for the winter.
We have traveled over 10,000 miles in our trailer and absolutely love it!! We know you will love your Imagine too. Several of our Over The Hill Adventure family viewers are enjoying the same Imagine Travel Trailer. If you have any questions or need help please reach out to us we would be more than happy to help. We appreciate you very much, Stan and Rhonda
Well done... Ironically 5 years ago we set out to buy the same Jayco, but ended up with a Whitehawk 27 RLDS instead . Fairly simular to yours. We can walk thru the whole trailer with the slide in. The large bathroom & closet is a plus. I've have no regrets. We use it a lot more & longer than we would have had with a smaller unit. We replaced our supplied "deluxe" mattress with a topper but shortly went to a matching make & model of our home mattress. We now go out & not miss our bed.
Herb, You're right, your Whitehawk 27RLDS does look a lot like our trailer. We just watched a video on it! We did the same as you saw in our video, and upgraded our mattress with a topper, but what a great idea to upgrade to the same mattress as at home. Thank you for joining us! We hope you subscribe and join us on this journey. Stan and Rhonda
Hi WOW This is so COOL . I don't watch your videos in any order LOL You look so good Rhonda your hair color is geourgious and Stan looks like a kid in a candy store . This travel trailer is beautiful. We own a house in Southborough Ma. It's got a second floor one bedroom apartment .I feel safe with having two apartments . One is for my Mother in law .Peter passed away Sunday It's been so hard on my husband and my mother in law . Peter is her husband . I am 59 and will be 60 in September and my mother died when I was 18 of cancer and my father died soon after that. I went through that young but seeing him my husband go through it now its the same. no differance. My mother in law lives in Exeter N.H. and says she will stay there .
Cecelia, We are so sorry to hear about Peter and the loss of your parents when you were so young 🥺 Stan lost both of his parents over 11 years ago and it was so hard for me to watch him grieve their loss especially while I was grieving too. We got through it with each other, family and faith. We are praying folks so I hope you don’t mind if we keep you all in prayer especially during this time. We pray God will comfort you, your husband and your MIL and give you peace. 🙏
Thank you for your sweet comments Cecilia! You are too kind! We appreciate you faithfully watching our journey… even if it’s not in order, lol! If you watch them in reverse order we will only get younger, lol! Blessings to you and yours! ~ Rhonda and Stan
@@OverTheHillAdventures You two are to funny I'm smiling and laughing . I'm sorry Stan lost his parents 11 years ago. I love your videos they are a breath of fresh air and FUN so Fun. 😃
You two are adorable and entertaining, thanks for the great personalized video. Wide stance toilet is a must that so many first timers overlook. Chocolate squirrels!
Hello there! Thank you for your kind words. We are humbled by them and encouraged to continue to share our adventures. And yes, a spacious toilet area was something we didn’t think about and found out the hard way so thought we’d share. Thanks for watching!! 🐿 Stan an Rhonda
Excellent review. Nice rig. Enjoy the rest of your Over the Hill Adventures! 🤓 👍
Greg, thanks for watching. Make sure you watch our six month review. We love this trailer lots of room and perfect for the two of us. Stan and Rhonda
We have a 2020 Grand Design 2400BH and love the quality craftsmanship that went into this trailer. We rent our RVs out and have had no major problem with the interior woodworks being torn apart or peeling off, like other manufacturers.
David, That’s a great testament to the quality Grand Design puts into their trailers. We are very pleased with ours and have had no problems. Thanks for your input! Stan and Rhonda
Great video guys. I love looking at the factory and Matt's videos, but seeing how it works for you and how you have incorporated storage was even better. Retiring next year and hope to join in on the fun. GD is definitely on my list of possibilities. Stay safe!
Congratulations on your upcoming retirement! This year will fly by and you will be on the road before you know it. Thank you for the nice comment.
Stan and Rhonda
Thank you for the tour. Great video. Blessings
I can't believe we just celebrated our one year anniversary with our trailer! We still love it and have so many places to go. We are getting antsy to get back out there! Thank you friend! Rhonda and Stan
We're loving your videos. Interestingly enough, we bought a 2021 Imagine 2500RL last April. Then we decided to trade our 2017 Chevy LTZ 1500 for a 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500HD a month later. Loved my old truck but gas mileage and towing power were big drivers. We chose the Imagine for many of the same reasons you pointed out (totally felt the toilet scene lol) and absolutely love it so far. We are based in NM and hope to get out and explore more this year. Cheers! Scott & Eileen
Scott and Eileen, Nice to meet you both! We so appreciate hearing that you are enjoying our videos 👍 We are encouraged by it more than you know. How ironic that you have the same trailer and truck! Stan has enjoyed towing so much more with the the 2500HD. We are already heading back home to Arizona from our back east trip, but what an adventure. There is so much to see and do! Excited to get home, rest up and get out there again, lol! Keep in touch and if you are heading to Lake Havasu let us know!
Blessings, Rhonda and Stan
Glad you mentioned Blue Dog.
I am going to Blue Dog tomorrow to see a camper, they stepped up on my trade. Hoping to have a good experience.
John, great to hear!! When I sold my trailer I got what a paid for it. Make sure on your new one you get everything you want and negotiate it in the price. Which Blue Dog are you going to?
@@OverTheHillAdventures Blue Dog by Hamburg, Pa. We are going to check out a 2021 Starcraft Super Lite 311BH . We currently have a Toyhauler for our golf cart but we need a bunkhouse and I plan on loading the golf cart on the pick up.
That’s awesome best of luck!! Stan

Just found your channel and really enjoyed learning about your trailer.
We are happy to hear you enjoyed the video! We hope you subscribe and join us on our journey. Stan and Rhonda
Congratulations. Can tell you are happy with your purchase.
Thanks for stopping by. We are so happy with our Grand Design Imagine. We have done multiple trips. We would not have done anything different. Thanks for the comment, Stan
What a great camper and video. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind comment and for watching!!! Rhonda and Stan
Just finding this video, and you two sound like my husband and I searching for the perfect one for us. So many videos and internet research! Worrying whether our F150 will be able to pull what we want. Still havent bought yet, maybe this weekend but thank you for your video and info!
Laura, thank you for stopping by and watching our video. The Imagine 2500RL is definitely 1/2 ton towable with the right distribution hitch. What year is your F150. I would make sure it has trailer brakes and you will be good to go. If you have anymore questions we would be happy to help. Stan and Rhonda
@@OverTheHillAdventures Thank You!!

Very nice trailer! we are looking at getting one in the near future. Thank you for sharing!
Sharon, thank you so much for watching. We love our Grand Design Imagine. Stan and Rhonda
Thank you for the awesome video. I just ordered mine today. We opted for the dining table instead of the booth. I'm completely excited. Also love all of your Amazon purchases and am going to shop now! Happy camping! We will finally say goodbye to our old Jayco Jayflight as well.
Wow, Congratulations on placing your order today! That is exciting! You must be getting the new design with the extra counter space then and with the dining table that will be really nice. Is it still taking several months before it’s delivered to the dealer? The wait is hard, but it’s fun to shop in the meantime. Take a look at our 7 Storage Saving Ideas video if you haven’t seen it yet for a few more ideas too. Happy camping to you too! We appreciate your kind comment. Rhonda and Stan
@@OverTheHillAdventures Thank you! I was told it would be built, shipped and should be ready for pick by mid April. I'm hoping it is. I am planning on watching all of your videos. The weather is cool today so I may just sit and watch as many as I can. Happy Travels!
Make sure you subscribe to our channel we will have a new video every Friday. Thank you so much for your support. 😀
I love the neutral colors! Very nice.
It is actually even nicer in person. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if I was gonna like it. We only saw videos before we ordered it and when we got it I was pleasantly surprised and very happy with it. Thanks so much for your comment and we appreciate you watching! Rhonda and Stan
Great Video! I really like your new toy. Enjoy! 😇
Robin, thank you for joining us. We have just started a month long journey and loving it. Thanks for your wonderful comment. Stan and Rhonda
You can put pegboard with hooks on the sides of inside the storage to hang tools.
Scott, thank you for your comment. We are not full timers. So I keep all my tools in a toolbox. What a great idea for those who are on the road full time. Thanks again, Stan and Rhonda
I have the 2020 2600rb and except for the entry door (don't have and after the one on my Rockwood disintegrated with replacement costing $400 won't have) and bedside pockets, the bedroom is the same. I surrounded each of the drawer and cabinet openings with 3/8 X 3/16 strip foam which helped keep the cold out... Hint> take out the bedroom drawers and see how much space there is to hide things behind the framing.
Mark, Thanks for sharing how you were able to increase the insulation in the trailer. We have only had it in just below freezing temps one time and fortunately didn’t experience any draft, but this is a great idea. We appreciate the input!
Stan and Rhonda
Question on the awning… does it have a sensor to retract on windy days? I heard some RVs have that.
Hi Victoria, Unfortunately it does not. We always bring it in at night and when we leave just in case. Thanks for watching and for your great question!
Rhonda and Stan
Very informative video and nicely done! Enjoy camping and Thanks!
Thank you for your comment.
I love your rig! The lighter wood really brightens up the interior and the layout is perfect! Good call on the upgraded sofa!!!! The bathroom is terrific and they really put made great use if the space and maximized storage space! I watched your storage video and it was terrific! Are those built-in steps in your side for the dog to get up on the bed? Glad I found your channel!
Rosemary, thank you!! We love our rig too!! What a blessing it has been for us. The doggies have made their bed on the nice sofa lol. Those are not build in step for the dogs. Molly jumps up on the bed but Kobe we have to carry up. Thanks for watching our channel. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda
Can you go over your storage solutions. Like in storage bay.
Hi Fred, that is a good ideas. Rhonda and I have been talking about that and doing a video. We learned through years if you haven’t used it throw it out. On the water station side, I use clear tub for all my clean water hoses and another clear snap tub for all my sewer hoses. In the same side I have spray bottle with water and bleach to disinfect everything. Along the front wall you will find hooks with an extra 30 amp electrical cord plus a 30ft extension. You will also find my gas hose for my Blackstone 22 inch grill I keep on the door side of the trailer. A bucket with all my lubricants and grease gun and few tools. I also have another bin the hold extra odds and ends little propane bottles, table covers ect. I put a floor mat, table for the Blackstone and a regular card table. That’s it. Thanks for watching. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda
We just brought home our 2022 2500rl! Love your videos and all the ideas! You mentioned right at the end, an someone had for what bins to use with the dinnete storage. Could you send me that post?
Hi Heidi! Congratulations on bringing your new baby home! 🙌 We are so excited for you! I will link a playlist with some of our helpful tip videos you may find useful. I will do my best to find that post and forward it to you. We also had a viewer recently share how they made drawers underneath the dinette bench seats. Love that idea!
We don’t store a whole lot under the bench seats because we don’t want to add too much weight to the slide. We store our heavy items under the bed. Mostly we keep a small supply of drinks on one side and dog food on the other in bins so we can pull them out. We store appliances under there too that we don’t use regularly. Thank you for watching and reaching out! We are excited to hear more about your adventures! ~ Rhonda and Stan

We will be getting a 2500RL in july or aug. thanks for all the information that you have shared....
Toni, Very exciting news! Congratulations! The wait is a bit hard, but so worth it. We are happy you found our video helpful! You may want to watch a few of our other videos since they are specific to the Imagine 2500RL especially the one regarding the TPMS. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your good news. Blessings, Rhonda and Stan
We had a similar experience, traded a 2020 Nash 22H in on a 2021 2500RL. Have ordered an F350 to replace the 2020 F150.
That’s exciting! We just finished trip #2 with our 2021 2500rl and we are so pleased with it! We almost didn’t go because of a sub freezing forecast. It does claim to be a four seasons trailer so we took the leap of faith and we were extremely comfortable. Let us know what adventures your future holds and if you don’t mind, share what your gas mileage ends up being with your new F350. We are considering an upgrade from our Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4. We currently get an average of 10-11 mpg. Appreciate your comment.
Will do. Re the pre-wire for camera & TPMS, you might want to wait til you see what you want for a truck. After research, I decided NOT to go Furrion, but ordered Ford’s Ultimate Camera/TPMS pkg that integrates both into the truck’s systems. Plus the TPMS are real in the tire sensors, not screw on the valve stems. Pretty sure GM & Dodge have similar OEM systems, way better than the Furrions. Re propane, 20# is fine if you don’t use much, I’m swapping to 30s, maybe even 40s. Re dump, I have written several posts on several GD FB pages about mods I will be making come spring. We have the full entertain center, not the extended counter.
Edit: the F350 is ordered w/the new 7.3 Godzilla engine. Delivery slated for the first week in April, will let you know towing mpg.
BTW there is open space behind the frig, one could push the frig further back into the slide. Discovered that when I put bug screens on both frig vents (also on heater &!water heater). I plan to open the wall up between dinette & frig & make a cubbie for games etc. Also plan to add foam insulation to inside of the wall, since the vents bring in outside air. Also plan to insulate the back wall & top of the pass thru storage. Changing all 3 vents to MaxxFans & roof vent covers (rvupgrades.com), I hate those tiny fans.
@@markbergthold6181 Thank you for sharing that great information!
Great video!
Like the Travel Trailer. What size truck do you have to pull it. I have a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500. 5.3L.
Bruce, thank you for your comment. I have a Silverado 1500 with a 5.3L. Pulls our travel trailer perfectly fine with no issues. Please watch my Specs and Mod video and see my set up. Thanks for watching, Stan and Rhonda

Just wonder if you put something over the bedroom door window at night to keep out the light. We just got our 2500RL and can’t wait to use it! Thanks for all the info you share.
Terry, Congratulations on your new purchase!! We just came back from our longest trip yet, a month long trip, and we were so cozy and comfortable. Funny you should ask about the bedroom door window, because the light did wake us up in the morning so my husband started hanging a shirt on a coat hanger over the window before bed and it did the trick. I’m gonna be on the hunt for a better option than the shirt, but it worked in a pinch. If you find something that works, please let us know. I’m sure you got the newest design with the extra counter space. That will be nice for you. Enjoy!!! Rhonda and Stan
@@OverTheHillAdventures we did get the extra counter space and I love it! I will definitely let you know if I come up with a solution for the bedroom window.
@@OverTheHillAdventures I did find a cover for the bedroom window on Amazon: RV Door Window Shade Cover, Sun Blackout Fabric for Camper Privacy Entrance (16 x 25 inch) www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08P2L9WHW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It has velcro on the four corners which does line up pretty close on the trailer. It really blocks out the light. I also got the insulated vent cover like the one you got at the RV show. I think both of these will work great for us. Terry
@@terrysmith7227 great job!!! Thanks for the info!! Rhonda
@@terrysmith7227 I just ordered it! Awesome find!! Thanks so much for sharing the information with me 🤗. Rhonda
Video is done very well, good job. Could you put a link for the toilet paper holder. Thought that was a cool idea. Thanks.
Denis, Thank you so much for your kind comment. We certainly appreciate it. I purchased the tp holder at Ross I believe, but I found a similar one on Amazon and I'll paste the link. Thank you again! Stan and Rhonda

Absolutely love your video, your enthusiasm and the 2500RL. We are thinking about our first purchase very soon and I was wanting to know are you towing the 2500RL with a half ton pick up or something larger? We have a new 1500 Ram and are hoping we can tow with it.
Hi David, thank you for your comment. Yes, I tow my 2500RL with a 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 1/2 ton pick up. It does great!! I did a few modifications for a better ride. Make sure you negotiate a weight distribution hitch and included it with your purchase. I got a Blue Ox Track Pro with my purchase included in the price. If you watch my other video it will give you more information. It is called, 2021 Grand Design Imagine 2500RL Specs and Towing Mods. Thanks again, Stan.
P.S. Let me know what you think.
There are a lot of trailers that you can tow quite well with a half ton ram. But a lot of the numbers that are provided by the trailer dealer regarding tongue weight and overall weight are almost always under or significantly under what they really are. So, It is easy to overload the payload capacity of a half ton , which is way more important than the number that the dealers say the half ton can drag down the road. The trailer I have is an outdoors RV 24, and the dry tongue weight was listed at 795 pounds. The actual weight on the scale dry with only batteries and propane was 1080 pounds. Just an example.
I like your video, we are considering the same RV. Can you tell me how loud is the heater fan, air conditioner, and stove vent?
David, thank you for your comment. I would say all three are loud. We had a 2020 Jayco and it was loud. They are all loud. Having said that, we love our Imagine. We have traveled over 7,000 miles. This is the best couples trailer. Thanks for stopping by and check out our 6 month review video. Till the next time, Stan and Rhonda
@@OverTheHillAdventures Thanks, the first RV manufacturer that come up with using quite motors will be a game changer
Hi! Just watched your video. Love your enthusiasm!! We have a 2017 Premier with an outdoor kitchen and were quite pleased with our first purchase, but want a slightly larger unit and we're willing to give up the outdoor kitchen to keep the weight down so we don't have to buy a larger truck. My husband and I are seriously considering purchasing the Grand Design Imagine 2500 RL. We are in the same boat...no trailers in stock and would have to order from the factory, with an 8-week turnaround. Are you still enamored with your travel trailer? Do you wish you would have done anything different on your second purchase? Do you have any suggestions on negotiating?
Hi Denise, Thank you so much for your comment! We were in the same situation as you, wanting a trailer that was slightly larger while still being able to tow it with our 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4. We also didn't want to go over 30 feet and the GD Imagine trailer comes in at 29' 9". We are still very much enamored with our trailer, and we feel the quality of Grand Design surpasses anything we've seen in other travel trailers. There isn't anything we would have done differently with this purchase. Since there were no trailers to look at, once we decided on this trailer we called dealers in our area that sell Grand Design. We were able to get a quote sent to us from one of the dealers via email, then we used that quote to secure an even better deal from another. We also negotiated the weight distribution hitch in the price of the trailer. Be sure to watch the video we made called "Are you saggin?" where Stan shows specs of the trailer and the modifications he has made to our truck for safer towing.
I believe the new design of entertainment center in the Imagine is available so might be a question to ask the dealer and find out what design you will be getting before you place the order. On second thought, there is one thing we would have done differently. We wouldn't have sold our first trailer until we were closer to getting our other trailer because it sold so quickly and we couldn't travel. We wish you and your husband the very best in your pursuit! Keep us posted!
Thanks. Good job.
Thanks for watching!
@@OverTheHillAdventures welcome.
Great video thank you! I may have missed it but what is the GVWR on this trailer? I love the layout. I have a 2.7 liter Ford F150 Ecoboost twin turbo and was wondering if I needed more power with this trailer. Thanks again very informative.

Hey Tony, thanks for the question. The GVWR is 7,495. If you take a look at my 2021 Grand Design Imagine 2500RL Specs and Towing Mods video on CZcams it will give you a lot more info. I have a 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 4X4 CrewCab. It has more then enough power. Stan
hello, Can I ask where you got the dream imagine believe signs and the floor mat?
You did a great job with the interior decor. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Jai, The floor mats I purchased at Camping World and they came in a set of three different sizes perfect for bathroom, kitchen and walkway. They sell different colors, but this color in particular was on clearance so I’m not sure if they still have it in stock. Regarding the sign, I actually bought it from someone who lives near me and had posted it for sale. I’ve since tried to find it online or in stores and unfortunately I haven’t been able to. If I do, I will certainly let you know. Thank you for your kind comment and thanks for watching. Rhonda and Stan
I like the TV position. It is sitting too high for 2400bh or 2800bh that it hurts my neck watching TV from the U dinette.
I agree, I like how the tv is positioned in this Imagine2500rl. It’s more at eye level. It also makes a difference watching tv from a reclined position in the theater seats. :) Thanks for watching and thank you for the comment!

We are in the EXACT same boat. We bought a 215RBK by coachman last year. And it’s tooo dang small!! Can you describe how you sold yours last year. Subscribed. Can relate!! 😄 we can’t find anything available. And nobody wants to order in Dallas. 😒
Keith, time is of the essence!! RV Trader or Facebook market will sell your RV quickly. You may have to go to another state to get your RV. Most importantly if your willing to drive you’ll get the best deal. I bought mine out of state. I did the entire transaction by text. Blue Dog RV in Las Vegas was excellent and I was willing to drive. Look outside of Dallas. We ran into dealers that did not want to give us a price!! Guess what?? bye 👋 There are some dealerships for a cost will deliver to your house. So don’t get discouraged sell that RV!! If you have anymore questions just let me know.

Trailers have gotten so expensive with so much less I don’t know if I’m going to bother buying again. My keystone was so much nicer then these and the money it cost was so much less. It was 14 years old when it left our family and still in perfect shape
Cheryl, We can only hope to keep our trailer half as long and hope it stays in perfect shape like yours. We do our best to take care of it. Everything seems to be expensive these days, that’s for sure. We made the decision to buy one so we can travel with our dogs and have the conveniences of home while traveling to places we’ve only heard of. So far no regrets.

@@OverTheHillAdventures I think it will Grand design makes a good trailer. Just get on the roof once a month at least and don’t hesitate to use liquid level. That might not be the real name lol. The roof gook, if you see any sign of wear. That is what we did and it sure worked. Happy trails hope to see more of your adventures I just subscribed
@@cherylyoung440 Thank you for sharing your wisdom ! We are encouraged by folks like you and appreciate you following us!!
This is great! We are on the hunt for the perfect Imagine for us. How well does the single AC keep up in the temperatures?
The Grand Design Imagine are so well insulated there is no need for a second air conditioner.
They don’t offer a 50amp service for our model so two air conditioners was not an option.
One air conditioner does great!! Thank for stopping by and the great question. Stan and Rhonda
Hi 🙋🏼♀️ guys My husband and I and 4 year old grandson are getting ready to start looking for a trailer or c class My hubby has a new Toyota Tundra that’s awesome to tow. We’re so confused 🤷🏼♀️ on what to get. We’ve had tent trailers years back and truck camper so we’re not new to camping need any guidance please
Hi Kristina, thank you for your comment and we would love to help. Rhonda and I went through the same thing. We could not decide what to do!!
Here are some thoughts, since you have a great tow vehicle I would get a travel trailer. With the little guy I would suggest looking at the Grand Design Imagine 2800BH. It has a bunk house the little guy and his friends would love.
If you went with a motor home, you will need a tow car. Unless you want to pack up every time you want to go sight seeing. That was the game changer for us. We like to mountain bike so we load the bikes in the back of the truck and take off.
We have done a lot of research and love our Grand Design Imagine. Best wishes on your new adventure!! Please let us know again we would love to help. Stan and Rhonda
You have a nice trailer.
Thank you so much!! 😀
What's your tow vehicle?
Carol, thank you for your question. We have a 2016 Chevy Silverado 1/2 ton Crew Cab 4X4. Stan and Rhonda
@@OverTheHillAdventures We currently have the Jayco Baja xls and want something bigger but don't want to pay for a bigger truck (2019 Ram 1500 crew cab 2x4) and wondered if it could pull something like your new trailer. Very nice!!!
Carol, you need to know what is the gross weight you truck can pull. The 2021 Grand Design Imagine 2500RL gross weight is a little over 7,400 lbs. My truck is capable of towing 9,000lbs. Every trailer has a weight sticker on the driver’s side of the trailer. Your truck should have one also that will tell you what your tow capacity is. Usually located inside you driver door.
Couple of things I would make sure you have is a tow package on your truck with trailer brakes. Most new trucks come with it from the factory. The second thing would be a weight distribution hitch. I hope this information helps. Stan and Rhonda
Carol, watch my specs and tow mods video. The thumbnail is”Are you saggin’” it will give you a better Idea of towing the right way. Thanks and best of luck. More than happy to help in anyway. Stan and Rhonda
Expected better from Grand Design. No max fans? That is pretty much a standard now. You have almost no closet space except by bed. Kitchen has too few drawers, also no pantry.
We have been looking at Grand Design & other manufacturers.
2021 Rockwood 2516S has 3 times as much closet space, kitchen has several more drawers, also has a pantry in a smaller pkg. Granted, this trailer is longer, but lacking.
A bit disappointed in this GD.
Hi Jade, thanks for your comment. We love everything about our new Grand Design Imagine 2500RL. Couple of things I would like to point out to you.
The cargo bay in our rig is huge. We have more than enough storage all the way around in our trailer. The Rookwood does have some nice features like the 12 volt refrigerator, solar panels and max fans. However, it lacks in other areas. I don’t fit in the toilet closet.
The Imagine 2500RL holds 90 Gallons of grey water and has a 45 gallon black tank. The Rockwood has 60 gallon grey water and a 30 gallon black tank. That would last you all about 3 days without full hookups. It’s all about choice and what fits your needs.
The quality in our Grand Design is top notch. Plus, we enjoy the rear living area when camping at the beach. With the open huge windows. The Rockwood has a nice window in the front kitchen that looks into the parking lot. The lack of windows makes the Rockwood 2516S a bit closed in. Then again it’s about choice. Thanks for stopping by, Stan
That tv layout is horrible
Thanks for your comment Dave. We weren’t sure about it at first either. However, the tv swivels quite a bit and sitting in our heated, massage, reclining theater seating makes all the difference in the world. Makes it extremely comfortable.
what happened to the saying........."If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all"
If you don't like it then move along and buy something else.
@@mudslinger9037 You should try taking your own advice and move along if you have nothing nice to say.
