Thank you for the amazing tour, I'm new to all this and again your tour was really pleasant. My wife and I are debating between going on The road and experiencing North America or investing in a cottage in Northern Ontario, we have even thought about becoming snow birds and find a small condo in St. Pete's Indian Rocks. Yes were Canadian and we love The U. S. A. ❤ especially Florida. Your trailer is absolutely outstanding , we will be doing some detailed research on your travel home with the help of your videos. Again Thank you for the very informatived video 👍and I will be subscribing. Thank you. Very infinitive Oh and you guys are both easy on The eyes 😊
We have an Imagine 2150 and love it! It is a year old and has over 8,000 miles on it. I caught ur comment on the shower door which I hated when we got it, BUT it is GREAT! Easy to wipe off, clean and has a built in squeegee. It pulls great, has more room inside and outside storage than out 31'(36 overall) had! Thanks for sharing the video w us!
Thank you for doing a tour of your beautiful travel trailer! Brittany, you're absolutely adorable! I'm new here & I look forward to watching future videos! 💚🏕🏖💛
Well we just finished season two in our 2670MK and the saddest day of the year is here. Winterization day! The only ongoing problem we've had with the camper since we bought it was the fireplace error code that shuts the heat off but I think I have that sorted out. Our last camp out was at the mid Atlantic rally in Delaware and the guys from grand design were there and said they'd send me a new fireplace. Great customer service from a great RV company.
Totally different perspective from those that do videos to sell the trailers. This way we get to see things implemented as it's being explained. Thanks for the video.
One upgrade we did to our TT was replacing the entrance steps with the MORryde steps. It’s worth every penny. It drastically reduces the movement of the trailer when walking in and out.
Thanks for giving us a great tour of your travel trailer and home. It was very informative and good to know about Grand Design product. Best of luck and continued success with your adventures. God Bless and take care.
Good for you. We've had our since November. You'll have to watch our maiden voyage video. Good luck and safe travels. We'll be watching. Wonderful Weekenders... Kim & Dave
Thanx guys! Pretty sure you've sold us on this model...planning to go full time by year's end:-) gonna setup my remote studio in that sweet little desk area...
Hello... and "thx" for all the info and insight on this Imagine unit, I really appreciate you both taking the time to post this !!!I am considering the 2600RB so this is def very helpful to me. :-) It seems that Grand Design has really "thought this line through" as it seems to be what everyone says about them which gives me a lot of comfort in my decision ahead. You seem like a very nice, happy couple and I wish you all the best in your travels and in your relationship... I will def tune into some of your other videos as well, esp the more technical one's that Charlie mentioned... both of you are awesome in fact !!! Thx again - Carl G III
Just saw your comment! Thank you so much! It really is a very well-designed trailer. Perfect for just the two of us and working on the road :-) Thank you for tuning in and following along. Happy New Year!
I agree with the water filter problem it seems like a lot of TT manufacturers have this problem and you are the first person I’ve heard express this problem way to go Great review!
Definitely a video to recommend to others! Your speech and detail were flawless!! Both of you make a beautiful pair!! I have to agree that this floor plan is just about right. I too would make a few minor changes but hey to each their own correct?! Thank you for posting. I e already shared with close to 45 members of my family. Ya-hoooo!!!!
Wow!!! This really is a grandly designed RV. The only significant issue I see is the fridge location. If the fridge was located in the slide to the left of the range so it would be accessible with the slide in it would just about be perfect. Truly a grandly designed RV - great selection you made.
Looks great! We have similar Winnebago but our fridge is right inside the door, so we can stop along the way and fix food or put away new groceries without moving the slides. Safe travels and Happy Camping
Great video! I'm looking for a trailer and I need to look at this one! Love that desk for one! I'm looking at another manufacturers trailer and was thinking of pulling out the small dinette and putting a desk in its place, but wouldn't need to do that here! Thanks again!
New subscriber here I just got the 2018 grand design Reflection There are some similarities and appliances I can't wait to watch your other videos on the powering of things ... Beautiful rig by the way
RUclips sales would be a natural for you. Your relaxed presentation and comfortable voice are exceptional 👌 Thanks for the great Video. Enjoy your new home
I'm curious as to what purse Charlie uses since you said this is "where WE hang our purses". LOL! Make sure you change your locks to your bays from what typically come on all trailers CH-507.
Nice set up you have, it’s the size of my flat! Amazing stuff. Love those Nespresso machines and the desk set up looks perfect. Great place you’ve put together :)
Haha thanks Dave! We said the same thing - its definitely bigger than our Thailand apartment Lol. And yes, we learned to love the Nespresso while in Europe. Can't go back now!
That's our one peeve about this model! You can't access the kitchen/living area without popping the slides (or slide). We usually just pop the kitchen slide so we can access the fridge when we pull over - or just leave stuff in the outdoor fridge with icepacks. You can, however, get to the bathroom without opening slides which is nice for pulling over for quick bathroom breaks.
Great thorough video. We just purchased our GD Reflection a couple days ago and we pick it up on Wednesday! Hopefully I can get a walkthrough video done on it.
Trading Traveler of course! Our maiden voyage in it will be immediately after we pick it up haha! We’re heading down to Flagstaff, AZ to the Overland Expo! Going to try to vlog the journey as much as I can.
My hunting partner and his girlfriend have the exact same one. They love it. Only difference is they opted for regular chairs in the dining area. But still tons of space compared to my 28' bunkhouse.
I loved your video and appreciate the complete tour and explanations of the inside and out! I am a solo traveler looking to live full time in an RV and am currently in process to sell my house. It looks like there is plenty of room and I really like the desk feature, dual slide outs and lack of kids bunks, which I don't need! I would also look to add solar panels, and a bike rack in the back. Are you still living in this trailer, and if so, HAS it held up well so far?? Thanks again for a great video!!!!
Sometime when you’re talking pictures with the drone could you get a full screen shot of the roof so we can see just how much room there is for solar? Thanks
Some of these high-end travel trailers are nicer than most people's homes I looked at a lux travel trailer yesterday and it was $150,000 that's crazy money but unlike a regular home you can take your home wherever you want perfect lifestyle for people with Gypsy Hearts like me thanks for your excellent video happy camping.
Great tour! We have an Imagine as well and live in central Florida! Maybe we’ll see you on the road sometime. It’d be great to see a fellow RUclipsr!!! Especially one with a GD lol
Hi folks. Nice presentation. We just purchased our 2018 gulfstream 30dbs last fall. We aftermarket installed the Furrion Observation camera on the back of the trailer . We love it . Great resolution , good field of view. Almost like having a rearview mirror. Happy travels!
Very nice trailer. I'm jealous. Once I start traveling maybe I will buy Grand Design - or maybe I'll just make good use of my Jayco. I think I would be reluctant to drilling on this rig also.
Very awesome rig. I thought it was a fifth wheel at the beginning of the video. Grand Designs are very popular this year and after your tour I can see why. Thumbs up, Lou
We toured a TON of different models and manufacturers. We liked the fact that Grand Design warranties full time living. Had we already owned the diesel, we might have bought a fifth wheel, but we thought we would be able to tow with a half ton truck so wanted the bumper pull. Thanks for watching!
The lower vent on the outside of the fridge is the air inlet, the upper is the air outlet. We have a Grand Design Reflection and like it a lot. Fifth wheel trailers have a lot of excess frame weight due to the way the frame has to rise and take too much space from the truckbed. There is plenty of carrying capacity in many bumper pulls, not all are trying to be too lightweight. Bumper pulls give a lot more options for the tow vehicle, and generally are not quite as tall. The inside stairs required in a fiver are not good for those with mobility issues. Nice rig!
Yea, thats why we went with a bumper pull. Originally we were going to tow with half ton truck, but ended up buying a diesel. Anyways, you're right, there is more flexibility with that.
I would recommend a proper potable water hose and a good pressure regulator to go with it. In some areas (like the mountains when the water source is up the mountain from your site) water pressure can be high...a $40.00 regulator can save you future repair bills! Buy one that has a pressure gauge and is adjustable so you can adjust the pressure going to the rig. My water inlet on my rig is on the outside so the weight of the water filter pulls on the fixture, so I do my pressure regulator to the hose bib, filter to the regulator and then hose to the filter ...hose to the RV (with a 90 degree adapter). Filter does not have to be behind the hose if you use a proper hose and in my case I am not putting as much leverage weight on the connector at the rig. Also suggest a good surge protector for the shore power...RV park power is notorious for spikes and low voltage drops that can damage electronics and hurt your AC(s). If you already have that then ...my bad! Happy Travels... OH! I have heard that some of the camco water filters blow apart at the seam. Never happened to me, but if the water filter does come apart, what will it hurt inside your storage area? I say leave it outside :-)
All very good points!! Thank you for the tips! We did upgrade our hose after this video. And you're not the first that has told us about the pressure regulator and the surge protector!! Definitely 2 things to invest in.
Hi, we live in British ColumbiaCanada and we purchased in May of this year our Grand Design Imagine 2670MK and we love it. We’re hauling it with a 2016 Ram 3500 4x4 Diesel crew cab. I watched the video and I recommend for the big closet instead of just the baskets that you have pick up a storage cube set from Walmart I took a picture but I don’t know how to share it. I put it together inside the closet 2 wide by 2 high...it works great!!! We do a lot of boondock camping so we too have 2 2000i Honda Generators that link together. As I’m usually the one getting the trailer and truck loaded to go somewhere and I wouldn’t be able to pick it up by myself and we don’t want to store them in the front, but we are looking into securely storing them on the back bumper of the trailer. Our son is a RV service tech and he said it can be done, we just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
That sounds like a great idea using the storage cube set! I'm not loving my current setup with the baskets. Its worked alright but I would like to make better use of the space. I'll have to look into that. Hope you're enjoying your 2670MK! Safe travels!
I have the 2950 and so does a friend of ours, both of them have had the rear bumpers crushed in with the installation of the spare tire, just enough to not allow the sewer pipe slide all the way through. Keep that in mind if adding your second spare tire.
Pro tip: those type of locks on your baggage doors are keyed alike to most travel trailers. I’d recommend changing them if you haven’t already. Great video!
Loved your video tour! Sub'ed as well...! We just purchased a 2600RB we pickup fist week in June! My Hubby & I are planning an extended Vaca/Retirement starting this fall! Our First trip will be Aug to the East Coast Canada to break in before the...' BIG TRIP'! We'll have to keep an eye out for other Grand Designs when we travel USA! Perhaps run into you someday! Cheers & Happy Travels! Ray & ( LaurieZ FB)
Our parents are almost sold on the 2600RB! We did the break in trip as well, this is an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with the trailer to see whats going to work and what will not. We definitely made some modifications after a 3 week trip. Hope to see you on the road!
As soon as I watched your video I double checked the specs on our TV. No it does not have Roku. It's a TCL D100. It works OK, it's easy to use but that Roku sure would have been nice. BTW, our 2670 is a 2018 and we bought it new in Delaware.
Hi,we just received the exact floor plan and will be setting up our seasonal (NJ)campsite . Love your ideas and definitely will implement them.Hubby and I enjoyed watching your video in anticipation of ours.We opted for the free standing table and chairs as opposed to the both. Our air conditioner is much quieter then our previous travel trailer and we were pleasantly surprised. How is your fridge performing? We are concerned because it is wall vented as opposed to roof vented.Hope to see more of your videos!
Thank you and congrats on your new rig! We haven't had any issues with our fridge. I will say the freezer takes forever to make ice, and as much ice as my husband goes through, our Igloo ice maker is a must-have and worth every penny! Other than that, no issues whatsoever. We think the AC is quite loud actually but we have nothing to compare it to! So maybe we should be happy with it :-)
We currently own a 2018 Imagine 2670MK and find it very comfortable and an easy pull. I would recommend the Furion Back Up camera, ours gives a great view of objects behind the trailer and is operating as we drive down the road working as a good rear view mirror. This Imagine, (we traded a 2017, 30 amp 2700RL) is also a 50 amp trailer and has dual A/C units. Grand Design makes a good product.
What rig do you tow with and how does it tow. I’ve heard that this RV tends to sway due to possibly a heavy rear end. What is your experience? What brand of weight distribution hitch do you use?
Great presentation. We fell in love with this trailer model but have yet to buy it. Your water filter dilemma. On our Coachmen Apex, I didn't like the full weight of the filter hanging on the city water connection. What I did was run a 90° brass elbow and a five-foot hose. This put the filter on the trailer end of the hose but for five feet and took the weight off the connection. I'll probably do the same thing when we get our 2670.
Thanks for the tip! We actually tried something similar using a 45° to relieve some of the pressure of it hanging, but I think the hose extension, like you mentioned, is the way to go. When you pulling the trigger on the 2670????? Hope to see you all out on the road.
Love the presentation.. are you sure you're not on the payroll at Grand Design?? Hehe. Regarding the water filter, I always put it on the supply end of the hose, that way it filters water going into the hose, and helps keep the rust out. I use a `RV' hose, not a garden hose, so no rubbery taste. Do you have a reason that you want it at the camper side?
👍Nice tour & RV. Thank you for sharing. I’ll check out your other videos. 💞
Thank you for the amazing tour,
I'm new to all this and again your tour was really pleasant.
My wife and I are debating between going on The road and experiencing North America or investing in a cottage in Northern Ontario, we have even thought about becoming snow birds and find a small condo in St. Pete's
Indian Rocks.
Yes were Canadian and we love The U. S. A. ❤ especially Florida.
Your trailer is absolutely outstanding , we will be doing some detailed research on your travel home with the help of your videos.
Again Thank you for the very informatived video 👍and I will be subscribing.
Thank you.
Very infinitive
Oh and you guys are both easy on The eyes 😊
That desk would be my #1 fave feature, too!
Wow. That is such a nice trailer! I love all the neat bells and whistles
Thanks Duder!
We have an Imagine 2150 and love it! It is a year old and has over 8,000 miles on it. I caught ur comment on the shower door which I hated when we got it, BUT it is GREAT! Easy to wipe off, clean and has a built in squeegee. It pulls great, has more room inside and outside storage than out 31'(36 overall) had! Thanks for sharing the video w us!
Any issues with your RV so far? Im in market, between GD and Cougar, Thanks!
I hung a shower curtain and do not use the roll up shower door.
Good video. Nice TT. Glad that layout works for you.
Thank you for doing a tour of your beautiful travel trailer! Brittany, you're absolutely adorable! I'm new here & I look forward to watching future videos! 💚🏕🏖💛

Our last camp out was at the mid Atlantic rally in Delaware and the guys from grand design were there and said they'd send me a new fireplace. Great customer service from a great RV company.
Love your video by the way - it is refreshing to view 'non-sales- showing a product!! Thank you for taking the time!
Kevin Revallo thank you for watching!!
Totally different perspective from those that do videos to sell the trailers. This way we get to see things implemented as it's being explained. Thanks for the video.
This is by far the best video on the 2670MK online! Im getting the 2022 this Fall. Thanks for doing this cool vid!
That was just a fun and very insightful video. Love the organization you have. A must for RV living.
Thanks for watching!
One upgrade we did to our TT was replacing the entrance steps with the MORryde steps. It’s worth every penny. It drastically reduces the movement of the trailer when walking in and out.
Lovely......and so is the Travel Trailer
Thanks!
Thanks for the tour folks! Nice trailer indeed.
Thanks for watching!
My Fiancé and I are just about to buy one of these! So exciting, good review :)
Thanks for the details on camper we are considering purchasing to go full time
Thanks for giving us a great tour of your travel trailer and home. It was very informative and good to know about Grand Design product. Best of luck and continued success with your adventures. God Bless and take care.
Love this review very well done . I like to see how you used cabinets and drawers and living spaces very cool! HAPPY TRAILS
Great video folks! You can't go wrong with a Grand Design. We love ours and have had minimal issues. Command hooks can be a storage life saver!! LOL.
Wonderful Weekenders yes they can!! And that’s great to hear you’ve only had minimal issues. We are just two months into ours but love it so far!
Good for you. We've had our since November. You'll have to watch our maiden voyage video. Good luck and safe travels. We'll be watching. Wonderful Weekenders... Kim & Dave
Wonderful Weekende
Great video, best tour I've seen. Great layout for full time living. I may have to buy one!
Thanks for watching!
OMG your trailer looks beauuuutiful
Nina Az thank you Nina! Miss you guys 😘
The fit and finish, quality and accurate engineering calc's in many ways makes Grand Design the best out there.
We just ordered the 18' Toy hauler.
That's awesome! Congrats!!
Thanx guys! Pretty sure you've sold us on this model...planning to go full time by year's end:-) gonna setup my remote studio in that sweet little desk area...
Love the trailer...the Jean shorts really sets it off. Wow!! Thanks
Hello... and "thx" for all the info and insight on this Imagine unit, I really appreciate you both taking the time to post this !!!I am considering the 2600RB so this is def very helpful to me. :-) It seems that Grand Design has really "thought this line through" as it seems to be what everyone says about them which gives me a lot of comfort in my decision ahead. You seem like a very nice, happy couple and I wish you all the best in your travels and in your relationship... I will def tune into some of your other videos as well, esp the more technical one's that Charlie mentioned... both of you are awesome in fact !!! Thx again - Carl G III
Just saw your comment! Thank you so much! It really is a very well-designed trailer. Perfect for just the two of us and working on the road :-) Thank you for tuning in and following along. Happy New Year!
Very nice tour of your RV, and it's a nice looking liveable home, thanks for sharing.
Carol B thank you so much!
Awesome!!! Living the DREAM!!!
OMG a built in desk I`m sold.
I agree with the water filter problem it seems like a lot of TT manufacturers have this problem and you are the first person I’ve heard express this problem way to go Great review!
Informative! This is the perfect tour! Imagine should hire you for their tours! Love this trailer.
haha agreed! Maybe one day.
You guys are awesome great tutorial video. Thinking about buying this model thanks for showing it in details.
I love, love this Imagine 2670MK!!!
Hey guys great video thanks for sharing nice tour of your rig!
Thanks for watching!
Definitely a video to recommend to others! Your speech and detail were flawless!! Both of you make a beautiful pair!! I have to agree that this floor plan is just about right. I too would make a few minor changes but hey to each their own correct?! Thank you for posting. I e already shared with close to 45 members of my family. Ya-hoooo!!!!
Thank you so much Jose! Happy camping!!
Glad to see a camper that built more for camping than a rolling TV stand like most campers today with there 3 to 4 TVs.
Thank you for the tour of your sweet home on wheels. Pull out drawers would be nice in the pantry.
Wow!!! This really is a grandly designed RV. The only significant issue I see is the fridge location. If the fridge was located in the slide to the left of the range so it would be accessible with the slide in it would just about be perfect. Truly a grandly designed RV - great selection you made.
Charlie is a very lucky man.. Women know how to keep a beautiful place .. Remember those bins ..ha.
Looks great! We have similar Winnebago but our fridge is right inside the door, so we can stop along the way and fix food or put away new groceries without moving the slides. Safe travels and Happy Camping
Great tour of your rig guys. Wonderful insights from an experienced owners perspective. 👍
Thanks so much for watching!
Great video! I'm looking for a trailer and I need to look at this one! Love that desk for one! I'm looking at another manufacturers trailer and was thinking of pulling out the small dinette and putting a desk in its place, but wouldn't need to do that here! Thanks again!
That's exactly why we went with this model! Such a great layout!
New subscriber here I just got the 2018 grand design Reflection There are some similarities and appliances I can't wait to watch your other videos on the powering of things ... Beautiful rig by the way
Thanks so much and congrats on the new rig!! Safe travels!
love that rig... i want one just like it!
Great video. I am going to try and get this trailer through my dealer auction next week. Hopefully I can snag a deal.
RUclips sales would be a natural for you.
Your relaxed presentation and comfortable voice are exceptional 👌
Thanks for the great Video.
Enjoy your new home
Gorgeous!!!!!! And the trailer is nice.
Great job! Terrific friendliness!
well edited and articulate. thank u
James J thank you!
I really enjoyed the video. Especially from a couple who lives in one compared to someone who just features different motor homes.
I'm curious as to what purse Charlie uses since you said this is "where WE hang our purses". LOL! Make sure you change your locks to your bays from what typically come on all trailers CH-507.
Love the built in desk.
Love this perfect trailer
We just got a 2018 Grand Design Reflections 337 5th wheel a few months ago. We love it!!!!
We just went in one of those when we were at the dealer getting service. What a beauty. Hope to see you all out on the road.
Bill and Kelley Adventures how much did you pay for it?
Nice tour. We just purchased the 2600rb and love it but sure really like yours.
Thanks! We really liked the 2600RB as well, we went back and forth between the two. Our parents are probably going to end up with that model.
Great Video! Thank you =)
Nice set up you have, it’s the size of my flat! Amazing stuff. Love those Nespresso machines and the desk set up looks perfect. Great place you’ve put together :)
Haha thanks Dave! We said the same thing - its definitely bigger than our Thailand apartment Lol. And yes, we learned to love the Nespresso while in Europe. Can't go back now!
Nice !
I love this floorplan
Us too! Its one of the most unique we found when searching through hundreds of travel trailers.
Super great video.. love this trailer hopefully I can afford it.
Keep on keeping on yall two are great
Javier Padron thanks so much, Javier!
Trading Traveler See yall on da road.. check me out I'm a youtuber too but with cars n trucks..😎🤘
VERY nice rig!
Nice video. Gonna wish you had the auto leveler in a few trips. Cant live without it for me. Worth the extra few bucks.
definitely something we wish we had!
I love my 2670MK!!
I love the layout! Especially the desk. So practical. Can you use any of the appliances with the slides in? Like a quick lunch stop.
That's our one peeve about this model! You can't access the kitchen/living area without popping the slides (or slide). We usually just pop the kitchen slide so we can access the fridge when we pull over - or just leave stuff in the outdoor fridge with icepacks. You can, however, get to the bathroom without opening slides which is nice for pulling over for quick bathroom breaks.
Great video!
That top is beautiful!
OKCMomma thank you!!!
Great thorough video. We just purchased our GD Reflection a couple days ago and we pick it up on Wednesday! Hopefully I can get a walkthrough video done on it.
Brandon Ward let us know when you do. Would love to see it!
Trading Traveler of course! Our maiden voyage in it will be immediately after we pick it up haha! We’re heading down to Flagstaff, AZ to the Overland Expo! Going to try to vlog the journey as much as I can.
Well done guys.. Thank you..
It really looks roomy! Well designed, as well.
My hunting partner and his girlfriend have the exact same one. They love it. Only difference is they opted for regular chairs in the dining area. But still tons of space compared to my 28' bunkhouse.
The booth seating really isn't very comfortable to be honest. It seems a lot of people prefer the standard chairs for the dining.
I loved your video and appreciate the complete tour and explanations of the inside and out! I am a solo traveler looking to live full time in an RV and am currently in process to sell my house.

slcea7 thanks so much!
Make sure if you buy new or used, pay for a R.V. inspector. We didn't and now paying for all the problems.
Great tour, better than dealers do!
Love it!!!
Very informative,thank you
Great tour.
EMU thank you!!
Great tour! We have an Imagine as well and live in central Florida! Maybe we’ll see you on the road sometime. It’d be great to see a fellow RUclipsr!!! Especially one with a GD lol
That's too funny!! Great minds think alike, right?! :-) Yes definitely hope to see you guys out there! Safe travels!
Nice rig! I like the floorplan.
Thanks for watching!

That sounds like a great idea using the storage cube set! I'm not loving my current setup with the baskets. Its worked alright but I would like to make better use of the space. I'll have to look into that. Hope you're enjoying your 2670MK! Safe travels!
I have the 2950 and so does a friend of ours, both of them have had the rear bumpers crushed in with the installation of the spare tire, just enough to not allow the sewer pipe slide all the way through. Keep that in mind if adding your second spare tire.
Wow thats crazy. Thanks for the heads up!
Pro tip: those type of locks on your baggage doors are keyed alike to most travel trailers. I’d recommend changing them if you haven’t already. Great video!
Loved your video tour! Sub'ed as well...! We just purchased a 2600RB we pickup fist week in June! My Hubby & I are planning an extended Vaca/Retirement starting this fall! Our First trip will be Aug to the East Coast Canada to break in before the...' BIG TRIP'! We'll have to keep an eye out for other Grand Designs when we travel USA! Perhaps run into you someday! Cheers & Happy Travels! Ray & ( LaurieZ FB)
Our parents are almost sold on the 2600RB! We did the break in trip as well, this is an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with the trailer to see whats going to work and what will not. We definitely made some modifications after a 3 week trip. Hope to see you on the road!
I like the lay out of your camper we have an older one its 27 feet with a pull out sofa and a dinenet table one slide out
We just did a thousand mile trip with our 2670MK. Love it! Perfect for us.
Awesome! Hope to see ya out on the road!
Is your Roku TV an upgrade?
ours came with the roku tv. does yours have one?
As soon as I watched your video I double checked the specs on our TV. No it does not have Roku. It's a TCL D100. It works OK, it's easy to use but that Roku sure would have been nice. BTW, our 2670 is a 2018 and we bought it new in Delaware.
a Roku plug-in accessory is $30.
Hi,we just received the exact floor plan and will be setting up our seasonal (NJ)campsite . Love your ideas and definitely will implement them.Hubby and I enjoyed watching your video in anticipation of ours.We opted for the free standing table and chairs as opposed to the both.
Our air conditioner is much quieter then our previous travel trailer and we were pleasantly surprised. How is your fridge performing? We are concerned because it is wall vented as opposed to roof vented.Hope to see more of your videos!
Thank you and congrats on your new rig! We haven't had any issues with our fridge. I will say the freezer takes forever to make ice, and as much ice as my husband goes through, our Igloo ice maker is a must-have and worth every penny! Other than that, no issues whatsoever. We think the AC is quite loud actually but we have nothing to compare it to! So maybe we should be happy with it :-)
So nice !
3G Mom thank you for watching!
We saw the same trailer at an RV show. We are going to get one. Ticks all the boxes.
You could mount the filter on the wall like a small fire extinguisher and use a short jumper hose. Sweet rig tho
Hey Trevis, Good Idea, we actually considered doing something similar. We will post update when we mount it.
We currently own a 2018 Imagine 2670MK and find it very comfortable and an easy pull. I would recommend the Furion Back Up camera, ours gives a great view of objects behind the trailer and is operating as we drive down the road working as a good rear view mirror. This Imagine, (we traded a 2017, 30 amp 2700RL) is also a 50 amp trailer and has dual A/C units.
Grand Design makes a good product.
Yes they really do! We ended up going with a Haloview camera and it worked great as well. We heard Furion is the best though.
What rig do you tow with and how does it tow. I’ve heard that this RV tends to sway due to possibly a heavy rear end. What is your experience? What brand of weight distribution hitch do you use?
We are looking at one as well but questioning towing. What are you towing yours with?
Beautiful trailer and you Ma'am ,
😊
Great presentation. We fell in love with this trailer model but have yet to buy it. Your water filter dilemma. On our Coachmen Apex, I didn't like the full weight of the filter hanging on the city water connection. What I did was run a 90° brass elbow and a five-foot hose. This put the filter on the trailer end of the hose but for five feet and took the weight off the connection. I'll probably do the same thing when we get our 2670.
Thanks for the tip! We actually tried something similar using a 45° to relieve some of the pressure of it hanging, but I think the hose extension, like you mentioned, is the way to go. When you pulling the trigger on the 2670????? Hope to see you all out on the road.
Love the presentation.. are you sure you're not on the payroll at Grand Design?? Hehe. Regarding the water filter, I always put it on the supply end of the hose, that way it filters water going into the hose, and helps keep the rust out. I use a `RV' hose, not a garden hose, so no rubbery taste. Do you have a reason that you want it at the camper side?
