An interesting trailer floorplan. Overall the walk-through was spot on and understandable. For a minor point-of-clarification, the door for the bathroom is a barn-door style and not a "pocket door". A true pocket door actually fits between two thinner walls and is mostly hidden from view (except for the leading edge) when it's in the open position. The murphy bed was unexpected, but it's a great use for the smaller space in this layout. I wonder if there is enough room to add a mattress topper or if the stored space is just enough for the existing mattress. It looked like it folded the mattress in half in the stored position, but it wasn't clear in the video.
Nice looking trailer. The one thing I don't is the inside water connection, because if the city water connection or shower connection leaks it could run through out the trailer
The water hook up not being separated from the front storage is worrisome. If you have a hose that decides to start leaking or bust, anything in your front storage is soaked. That rear storage is nice, but I hope you are instructing the buyers on how to not overload the trailer behind the wheels.
Clayton you do a great job describing these trailers. Can you show the white and yellow tag in future videos? It shows the weights for the trailer and would be great to see that. With the weight and tongue weight for this trailer it easily fits in the range for many sport utilities with enough cargo capacity left on the SUV to have a couple kids, dog etc in the truck and not exceed weights. Really nice looking camper, awesome for getting away and it would be easy to get it off the road into a nice hidden retreat for a weekend or month. Maybe not a month unless you watched the water. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Sauceboss its a murphy bed that folds up and out of the way. You can also use the dinnete at the rear for a larger bed and never use the murphy bed if you choose.
I feel like they forgot to pad the sofa. This layout would be perfect as both my husband and I work full time... But kind of worried about the comfort of the sofa.
George Reed, thanks for you question. The rear dinette sleeping cushion can be stored in various locations when not in use. One of these spots that works really well is tucked up at head board of the main bed when it is not in use, you can have the Murphy bed in the up or down position and its fits in quite nicely. Thanks for your question and happy Camping!!😀
Thank you. I loved the Bath. It is one of the best in all the Trailers that I had seen. Those things that the gentleman mentions ( to Alert) in a comment a tecnic told me that is real. Please, fix and helping the Clients. And Then This Trailer will be FANTASTIC.
Wildhog32, great question! The sturdiness at the end of the bed is excellent. The entire bed platform is laminated with aluminum framing just like the side walls. The flexibility of the Murphy bed in the Imagine XLS is second to none. We hope this helps!!😀
Julio Correa Luna, thanks for your question. Based on the dry weight of the trailer, you would want a bare minimum of 6000 to 6,500 tow capacity. Toyota Tacoma for example in some of the models has a 6500lb tow rating which is good for this type of trailer. We hope this helps!!😀
Wildhog32, thanks for the comments and questions. If you go to www.granddesignrv.com, you can check out all the floor plans there. 3 that come to mind are the 17MKE with slide and 18RBE without. They also build the 22RBE with slide and private front bedroom. You can also check out our website at woodysrv.com to view all of our current inventory. Thanks again for watching. Take care and Happy Camping!!😀
Best travel trailer video i have seen. I am trying to learn all i can before purchase ...and i must get a different car, i see. Now i have to find which vehicle tows 6000 pounds. I do not know if i can buy one from Canada, as i am in the USA near the border off hwy 395. However, i loved this trailer. It seems to consider older folks and those with physical challenges. It gives me a new standard to compare to. The bathrooms i have seen on smaller trailers are just horrid! This was much better. Murphy bed idea, wow! Does it damage the mattress, though? Thank you for a very informative video!
Lenore Kingsley, thank you for your comments and watching our video. We are happy to hear that you found it informative. I’ve attached a link to the Trailer Life tow guides. These guides give you the different tow capacities for all sorts of vehicles. If you had a vehicle in mind you can verify what the hauling capacities are by referring to the year of the guide for the year of the vehicle. The 60x80 residential queen size mattress in the Imagine XLS has been specifically designed for the Murphy bed application. www.trailerlife.com/trailer-towing-guides/ Thanks again for your comments. We also have another video on our RUclips page of an Imagine XLS 21BHE that covers over a bunch more details of the product and Murphy bed. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance. Take care!! Team Woody’s RV Leduc!!😀
I can imagine the bed extended out and a heavy sized person were to set on the edge to say take off the socks and without any support that bed collapses! What would be the weight rating for the edge of the bed? Just wondering.
Good morning and thanks for the message! Great question on the bed as we have gone a different direction in the design of this from other manufactures. There is no specific weight rating, but I can tell you that it will not break by sitting at the end. It is a 2” laminated aluminum framed bed base, similar to how our side wall is built. Please let me know if I can help out with anything else. Thanks, Billy Dalton | Sales | Grand Design RV 11333 County Road 2, Middlebury, IN 46540 | Cell 574-575-9353
@@josephmontoya4278 In other words, either Billy Dalton doesn't know or Grand Design hasn't put one on, though there is a weight limit, not expecting someone to load it with so much weight that it'll break. Don't they legally have to specify a weight limit, or do they expect everybody to use common sense and not intentionally test it, seeing how much weight they can put on it until it gives way?
Wildhog32, if your hoses are hooked up correctly with secure fittings you don’t have any water spillage. Also, any water that potentially may drip should drain through the port hole access. You will need to wipe up any excess water that may spray when unhooking your hose, which is the case for all RV’s with enclosed utility compartments. I hope this helps with your question. Thanks again for your inquiry. Cheers!!😀
billg1527, thank you for the comment. The item you’ve noticed is a finishing product called seam tape. Seam tape matches the wall board panel and simply covers where two wall panels come together. In this case it looks as though the seam tape hasn’t been completely pressed on. In our PDI process at our dealership we would easily catch this and remedy it quickly. Thank you again for your comment and watching the video.😀
Aurora Nite, thank you for your comments. We agree and so does GDRV. They have upgraded the front bench to a very comfortable roll over sofa. The change has been very popular. If you would like to see it, we would recommend watching our video of the newest 2020 Imagine XLS 21BHE. In the video we show off the new interior and sofa. We hope you enjoy it!! Thanks for watching! 😀
Dark Whispers, thanks for your comment. There is a port hole access at the base of the utility centre where you can run your water line so you can close and lock your compartment.
Let me tell you something about all trailers, the thing most important, the thing that people will SpEND 99percent OF the time in it doing is sitting or sleeping... and none of the seating is furniture level or automobile seating level.. It's like a damm plywood box with a foam cushion level and as comfortable and durable.. Its a simple fix but the cheap bassterds don't do it
why wont anyone make outside speakers optional. I mean really who is even gonna play music outside when you are in the middle of nowhere let alone in an Rv park.
I had always like the Grand Design RV's but this one is very disappointing.. couch looks cheap, don't trust the bed and the bathroom is across from the kitchen..
Nancy Speelman, thank you for your comments. We’re sorry to hear some of the aspects of this floor plan don’t meet your requirements. If you’re truly in the market for a small RV and haven’t seen this one in person, we would still recommend you take advantage. In most circumstances we’ve found that once we’ve had the opportunity to show off all the features and benefits in the various floor plans available, our customers views and opinions swing more favourable. In addition, we’ve also found that in most trailers at this length, whether the bathroom is at the back or on the side it’s usually right beside the kitchen or close to it in some fashion, hard to completely get away from in small trailers. Currently we don’t feel there is a perfect Murphy bed on the market that checks every box fully. We do however feel that when you consider all the different types and styles of Murphy beds available we come to the conclusion that the GDRV setup is the most functional overall. The key for GDRV in this Design was to provide the most functional 60x80 Residential size Murphy bed on the market while still giving you the industry leading pass through storage they’ve come to be known for. We do understand though that not every RV fits everyone’s needs and wants perfectly. One of the cool parts about the Imagine XLS is that GDRV has bolstered the floor plan offering going into 2019, so there may be a floor plan you would prefer better. Stay tuned to the other videos, as we receive the new upcoming floor plans we will be shooting those as well. Thank you for your comments and happy Camping!!😀
at 15:47 wood has serious crack into floor bed. there is two seems above bed. terrible design cheaply made.that sofa is garbage sit on it and you will feel the wood underneath.
Only if you use the bed as a trampoline. The mattress and its sheets cover the corners plus if you happened to hit your knee on it I bet you wouldn’t do it a second time LOL
Frank Genner, thanks for the comment!! I think my accent is throwing you off. I’m saying forks. If you listen really close you may pick up on the soft arrr!!....lol. Thanks for watching the video!!👍😀
cheap made. foam on bottom of rv will not last long water puddles and then pothole boom foam falls off. you come off bed at the end and you break it. cheap. how can you even show this garbage.
LMAO you are kidding aren’t you? The salesman told you it was sturdy what more do you want. That frame is stronger than any bed frame you have in your house. No I am not kidding either. The aluminum frame that supports the bed is very strong plus under the bed it has 5/8” plywood laying on top of the aluminum frame.
Thanks for the detailed video. Bought this model last week. Perfect floor plan for my wife and I. The storage is amazing.
There is so much storage. The only other that kind of fits this layout is the Passport 216rd but this one beats it for storage hands down.
How much did you pay?
Bigcal44 we paid 21,500. They just reduced it from 23,500. Good timing
We are enjoying it very much since pandemic started. All seasons!
No slide outs is good!

I’ve looked at a lot of campers over the last year too, this seems to be the perfect one for a couple. At least for me.
Nice looking trailer. The one thing I don't is the inside water connection, because if the city water connection or shower connection leaks it could run through out the trailer
If the colors would’ve been lighter it would’ve been awesome. Beautiful still

Great, 2000 miles already. Do I get a used price then on the tires?
I’m pretty sure they didn’t tow it 2000 miles. Trailer? Hmmm
I can see me hitting my leg on the 90 degree angle mattress frame that welcomes you immediately upon entrance.
Sauceboss its a murphy bed that folds up and out of the way. You can also use the dinnete at the rear for a larger bed and never use the murphy bed if you choose.
Wish you would show travel trailer's for handicap full time living.
no supply and demand for you folks.
I feel like they forgot to pad the sofa. This layout would be perfect as both my husband and I work full time... But kind of worried about the comfort of the sofa.
They went above and beyond by using really old locks on the exterior doors instead of slam latches. Thank you GD.
2000 miles sure is clean.
Where does that large extra table cushion get stored when its not being used?

Couch needs padding:(
no insulation in storage spaces.
dont care that the door enters bedroom first? i like to nap and the wife likes to run in and out and bring visitors! lol!
How much does this cost ?
that one in ontario is 37k, ouch
@@dklswh Bought mine for 21500 in Orillia Ontario. Still have one in stock last I checked
Like the rig. But that couch looks like it has no padding. Looks cheap
Bear in mind that they didn't have put in a couch AT ALL.

Didnt need wheels either... but it helps
So you have to keep your storage open to get city water? Wtf?
Dark Whispers, thanks for your comment. There is a port hole access at the base of the utility centre where you can run your water line so you can close and lock your compartment.
Obviously the layout or designer has never been camping why would you want the restroom across your kitchen.
