We love our 2021 2800bh!
We bought a brand new Imagine 2910 three years ago. Had a few issues…nothing major. Trim becoming detached in a few places, 2 blackout blinds malfunctioning/ had to be replaced, main door misaligned (finally made adjustments), one of the water connections loosened behind panel (luckily caught it very early before much water leaked into cargo area), tank sensors defective (will not fix). Overall happy with what we got.
Awesome testament to the quality of Grand Design. We really want a 5th wheel at some point in the next couple of years and the 362TBS is one we keep circling back to.
That is a great floorplan!
2022 2800BH here. I love following your videos. Thank you for remaining true to yourself…unlike many of the other channels.
We appreciate you being here!
I think the older rvs were built better. We had the same type of slide on our 2015 and had no issues.
We replaced our peeling furniture within 6 months. LIEppert should be embarrassed.
We had a 303 5th wheel for nine years and really enjoyed it, no real issues that GD didn’t take care of. Thanks for your videos.
5yrs now with our Imagine 2600RB. We love it and have only had minor issues like yours, especially with the theater seats. We ended up just pulling them out and replacing it with a fabric couch/futon. Also the eternabond on roof seams I installed after watching your “bulletproof your roof “ video has been holding up very well.
Good to hear! Safe travels and thank you for being here.
Love the videos. Get a vehicle wrap company to fix the front of the camper. I just had my vibe done where it was scratched and the previous owner used some type of paint as a rock chip protector. Mine looks a lot better and 95% of the people would never know. 😊
Hmm. Good idea! Thank you.
I’m watching this to compare as I have a 2018 268rks and wanted to compare how well they hold up relative to one another … thanks for sharing
We have a 2018 2600rb and it has been terrific to date. We keep it covered in the off season and I'm fairly diligent with maintenance but the quality of GD back then was top notch.
We have a 2021 2800BH that I hope holds up as well as yours. Thanks for the long term update.
I hope so too!
We’re picking up a Grand Design Reflection Saturday and I have been looking for some long term reviews. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Congrats!!
Thank you for a breath of fresh air / it nice to hear positive feedback on a company
Starting to question why we bought a Grand Design camper. We have a 2020 Imagine 2600RB and have had very minor issues until a recent trip where it seems a roof seal may have given out while driving (we checked them before we left) and now have wrinkles in our roof. Reached out to GD right away and have gotten absolutely nowhere. Monday will be a week since I first reached out and absolutely zero follow up or response from them since. We heard such great things about GD customer service and even had 3 families we know purchase GD campers because of our (until now) great experience. Also wishing we had done the Eternabond tape like you did but didn’t want to void the warranty…. Which seems useless at this point 🤦🏼♀️
I love our 21 2800BH and we’ve had very few problems with it.
However knowing that people were starting to find frame cracks above the equalizer in between the wheels I inspected mine yesterday when I got it home and sure enough small frame cracks on both sides of the trailer.
Lippert has a specific fix for this and I’m now covered under the new 5 year frame warranty so I’m cautiously optimistic about getting it fixed.
We are going on 8 years with our Imagine and have had very few issues. We have had some schwintek issues though. Most things are general maintenance problems. We have replaced several ceiling lights, all and all we are still very happy with ours and keep dumping money into upgrades so you know we're not switching rigs anytime soon. Team Imagine rocks.
👊
We've had a very similar experience with our '19 3170bh. It has been quite the journey. I've enjoyed your channel over the years and it's been a tremendous help in upgrading and maintaining our camping lifestyle. I still appreciate your insight on a particular site at Vogel in one of your old reviews, it has changed #'s, and its full hook up now, but if you can book it, it is one of the nicer sites. 😁
That is definitely one of the best sites in Georgia!
Thank y’all for being here!
Thanks for the update video. We have a 2022 Jay Feather 27BHB that we bought new in Jan of 2023. A couple small trim issues, but our AC just went out (Furrion). Getting it fixed before our trip to SC may not happen. I even told the dealer to order the part before warranty approval and I'd pay if not covered (should be under 2 yr warranty).
Have you thought about coating your roof with something Henry's Tropi-Cool or FlexArmor? I'm debating coating or Eternabond tape.
I taped my seals with Eternabond years ago. Very happy with it!
@WanderingWeekends yea, I watched the video. Great comparison with the other tapes, too. Did you tape the camper that is parked now? What does it look like now? Have you heard of Tropi-Cool?
I’ve used GacoFlex but not Tropi-cool. I’ve heard it’s good.
2018 2800BH owner as well. Overall has been a zero issue camper aside from the axles but that was GD's fault. Glad to see yours is still going strong. Have you stored it outside at all times?
Yep, it’s always been outside.
I wish GD made a 1/2 ton friendly Imagine couples unit. We really like that front cap. We’re not really a fan of the XLS exterior look.
2600RB is close but I know what you mean.
They used to make one, a 2150rb which we have and love.
@@WanderingWeekends we’ve looked at the 2600RB. It’s super nice. But a little to long and heavy for my taste for a 1/2 ton truck.
How do you have your drying rack attached to the camper? Only got a quick view, but it look neat.
What was the comment about taking your CZcams sticker off about?
I think I’d rather just have our logo there.
I am shocked that you haven’t changed the seats yet. lol
It looks bad but they’re still comfy. Not a big deal really. I’d rather spend $1k on memories.
@@WanderingWeekends good point brother
Wow, that love set LOOKS bad, tell Santa Claus bring you a new one.
Haha… might be out of Santa’s budget!
Grand Design sucks. Frames crack, break, whatever you want to call it. I will never buy that garbage.
Do you have a GD? Have you actually experienced these issues? Or are you just commenting because of the bad press?
Send me your VIN. I’ll happily reach out to Grand Design and have them take care of you.
@@WanderingWeekendsSounds like you work for GD.
@@Mike-te1xxI do not, but I’d be happy to get him some help if he actually owned one.
@@Mike-te1xxbut he said himself he’d never buy one so I’m kinda wondering where he’s getting his info.
