We just purchased our GD 2670MK a month ago and began our new full-time journey on the road. Love all your mods to your rig. Hubby putting in our rev-a-shelf today. Thank you for all your awesome videos. Stay safe out there❣️🙏
Just got the same unit, they have made some changes latter in the 2022 modle. Now it comes with 12v compressor fridge as well as power stabelizor and second AC in bedroom.
You don’t have to be full time to join the KYD community!! It’s an awesome space for everyone who loves RVing. How exciting that you’re planning to be full time.
Great walk through; We took delivery of a 2022 GD XLS 22mle but we're weekenders and I personally didn't want to jump up from our previous 19ft TT. But Happy Wife, happy life lol just can't see us with anything bigger going forward. Your TT is perfect for our taste if we were full-Time. I live in a large home here in South Florida and when we can get away for a few days in our TT it's liberating to live with less. You have a clean nice setup. The oven is larger then you may think. We can cook an Lasagna for 8 and pizza; it's only you two and maybe once in awhile a couple additional folks you're cooking for. Not design for a Turkey but we fry our turkey anyway lol; OK now my critique; slow down you both have great qualities. You come across rushed as a 30 second commercial. i'm on my Lab-top with Ear buds or on our 23inch LED desk top with headphones on; or watching you on a 70" LED in the family room listening through a nice sound system and you project an Oxy clean commercial OUCH "man" not she. Again you both have great YT capabilities; You will not please everybody. Yet you'll want to attract all ages across the board. Yup i'm being real with y'all. But i'm also loyal.
What truck are you towing with? We are inadequate with an F-150 capable of towing max of 10,200#, but we'd have to wait several years to upgrade trucks. Our 23' Lance tows fine, but as full-timers of 15 years, we are ready for an upgrade. The Lance worked great when we were managing an RV Park in FL & visited the grandbabies twice per year. Now we manage 13 campgrounds in Colorado during the summer and need the office space to print daily reservation changes for our campgrounds and to process all of the fee slips and firewood proceeds. The 2670MK would certainly fill that niche, LOL. David & Sheila
We tow with a Toyota tundra (towing capacity of 10 1/2 thousand pounds). We upgraded the suspension on the truck and also have load leveling airbags. We’ve had no problems and we’ve done over 20,000 miles full-time over the Rockies, Teton Pass, etc. she’s been fine. Would I like a bigger truck? Absolutely! Can we afford it? No lol
@@WhereTheyWander22 Yeah the biggest issue so far with us has been dealing with headwinds and semis. I just have to deal with the GVWR configuration I have and at some point find a 2500 when times get better, LOL. Cheers! Dave & Sheila
To address your comment that the cupboard doors above the desk all opening to the right: I noticed that all three cupboard doors next to the microwave open to the left. They look too be the same size. If so, you can remove the far right door next to the microwave and swap it with the far left door above the desk. That style of hinge should only have one screw into the frame so after swapping them you should only have two small holes in the frame. The end result should be right/left opening doors both above the desk and next to the microwave.
@@WhereTheyWander22 Ah, it was hard to tell the size difference in the video. They looked to be the same width, I hadn't thought there might be a height difference. Still, it wouldn't be that hard to remount the hinges on the other side of the cabinet door, probably easier than some of the other modifications you've done.
Congrats! We will also be removing the dinette. For us we'll be replacing it with a desk. I love that your bed has cubbies! I don't understand those that just have narrow shelves or no nightstand area at all. Looking forward to seeing what wallpaper you decide upon!
Thank you. We love the bedroom cubbies - loads of space and usb/110 plugs. The jury is still out on having wallpaper in the living slide. We did decide on the peacock paper for the bathroom for sure.
I can't wait for the updates reveal with the wallpaper. The Imagine is really starting to look like a home, and work for your needs! Also, I would like to see a video of the new rig with your dogs. Do you sleep with them or crate them? Do they have beds? Can't wait to find out more! See you on the trail.
You’re welcome. Here’s a link for the RV slide stabilizers. www.rvupgradestore.com/Husky-Towing-26-1-4-49-1-4-Stabilizer-Jack-p/15-1470.htm. This is an example of ones similar to ours. Doesn’t completely stop moving but it’s way better.
would you be ok mentioning exactly which campground that was? I noticed it had power but didn't see water or sewer hookups. were looking for longer term stops in the future. Thanks again
Great idea for ordering the rig with the table and chairs for easy remodel….with our 3 dogs we would need an extra bedding area…possibly to put in a Jack knife love seat tho for humans and/or canines….I’ve seen other vlogs tho regarding the weight restrictions of the slides so need to be mindful of that….wonder if you could replace the desk tho…I don’t know if we would utilize it
We always knew we were going to remove the table and chairs and man are they heavy! Definitely need to be aware of what everything weighs 😂. They do the same rig with rear living which doesn’t have the office. We need it so it’s perfect for us. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel.
Could you please provide some information on your tow vehicle's towing and payload capacities? We are on the fence about the 2600RB vs. the 2670MK (preferred) but the latter may be too taxing for our current half-ton truck. Also what hitch system are you using? Lastly, do you have any real world weights of this trailer now that you have it "equipped" with your personal effects?
We tow with a Toyota tundra half ton truck 2WD. However, we upgraded our shocks to blistine monotube gas shocks. Also, we out of the TRD front un sway bars. Finally, we have Firestone load leveling airbags at the rear. We have a husky weight distribution hitch. Which works very well. The company that installed ball hitch recommended it and we’ve had no issues. Sadly, we do not have any real world weights. We have yet to hit a cat scale. However, we have had absolutely no issues towing with our truck and we try to keep the weight of our goods inside the rig to a minimum.
@@WhereTheyWander22 For comparison, would you happen to know what the GCWR and payload capacity is on your truck? In my case, I'm not worried about the ponies under the hood and the other driveline components, but more so about weight capacities and the safety aspect of towing the 2670 which will outweigh the truck. Are you traveling long distances or fairly local?
No dealer will sell you a rig that your truck can’t tow. Our Toyota tundra is rated to tow 10,100 pounds. So far, we’ve traveled over 8,000 miles since April 1. We’re touring the entire country; mountains, freeways, back roads you name it.
@@WhereTheyWander22 Thanks again! Your Tundra has a tow rating that is 500 lbs. more than my Silverado (so not a HUGE difference). Glad to hear you are enjoying the many sights and adventures our country has to offer. But I'm afraid there may be some dealers out there who aren't overly concerned about max'ing out a tow vehicle. We've been to (4) different dealers exploring various RV brands. Not one of them has gotten into the particulars about what we would be towing with. That isn't to say that that may not come up at some point, but I would think it would be a topic to be discussed in detail fairly early on when considering a towable purchase. While my truck has a payload rating of 1500 lbs. and a GCWR of 15,000 lbs., I think I am right on the cusp of being overweight with a 2670MK (and the 2600MB isn't much less - about 1,000 lbs). More investigation to do for sure! Take care!
Noticed that you are towing your 2670mk with a Tundra. How is the Tundra towing this trailer? We have been looking at this model because it has a lot of options to offer. Thanks for the tour. Also notice that you have one AC unit. Is that enough for size of trailer?
We’ve had no issues whatsoever. We did upgrade the suspension to TRD front and rear anti sway bars and monotube gas Bilstein shocks. We also have a Husky weight distribution hitch. The reason we went with our TT and not a 5th wheel (which we really wanted)? We’d just bought our Tundra 😂. We’d love to see photos of your new trailer. Also, don’t miss the solar install video tomorrow. As for the AC unit, we’ve had three other units prior to the Grand Design and only ever had one. The upgraded fan in the bedroom acts as a whole house fan which we’ve had in our sticks and bricks for 20 years. Good luck. We love our Imagine 😊
@@WhereTheyWander22 how's the Husky WDH? We have our trailer on order and the dealer has that one in stock but we are also looking at the Blue Ox. We have a Tundra as well.
Again Grand design needs to add outdoor kitchen no grill just sink n refrigerator would be perfect most people have their own grills they travel with but to have even a sink to wash hands while cooking after touching raw meat would be an wow!! Factor
@@WhereTheyWander22 ok will do, but the outdoor sink is more needed than the grill most people have there own or barely use the attached grill bit the ability to wash your hands while cooking is a game changer!! No more traffic running in and out of RV, WOW FACTOR!!!
Not sure why the dude is talking in that fake voice -- trying to audition as some kind of an announcer? Tip: keep your day job, what you're doing is EXTREMELY ANNOYING! Keeping the RV bathroom door shut does NOT change the fact that you walk in and there is the bathroom -- you've just closed the door! Another tip to the dude: let the female do all the talking.

So excited for you. We just uploaded our 18 month on the road video, you should check it out 😂. Keep us posted on how it’s going
@WhereTheyWander22 yes... we watched your 18 month update... loved it. Thank you for all your awesome videos... love watching you two❣️
@@KarynnRady You are too kind. We are so happy that you enjoy our content.
Such a great video!! Thanks for the shout out - we loved installing your solar system and getting you plugged you into Nature! 😉🌵
It’s working so we’ll. Excited to share the install soon. Also, Kev is planning for us to meet up again so we can get another panel 😂💖😂
Thanks! Great video! It was nice to see how you modified it.
We’re glad you enjoyed it. We’re still loving our rig.
im in the process of getting mine i cant wait !!!!!!
How exciting! Send us a photo on IG once you pick it up
Really appreciate all the detailed info, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Just got the same unit, they have made some changes latter in the 2022 modle. Now it comes with 12v compressor fridge as well as power stabelizor and second AC in bedroom.
Thanks for watching. These are great upgrades for sure. We opted against the second AC and got a max air fan I stead. The 12v fridge is cool though.
Looking to pick up his same model at the Tampa super show Jan 2023. Love your mods and of course the Traveling Ginger KYD👍👍
We’ll be there!! So excited for you. Are you a KYD insider?
@@WhereTheyWander22 not yet waiting till full time, have to wait for my wife to retire. Now we are just weekend or week warriors 🤷♂️

@@WhereTheyWander22 I think I will look into it
We bought the 2021 version of the 2670mk just a few months ago and just love it. Enjoy!

I have a 2018 that I live in. I got a great deal and am well pleased! Enjoyed your video! ;-)
Thank you Trevor. How exciting that you live in it. #lucky
We are currently looking at a 2018 for our first RV. IMHO, it is absolutely crazy to buy new as nothing depreciates faster than a RV.
We bought new as we live full time in the rig and we wanted the full warranty. As you said earlier - each to his own 💖
Hi. thanks for the tip on the campground :) I noticed you had braces under your slide. Were those standard or a mod? Thanks and happy camping :)
You’re welcome. Here’s a link for the RV slide stabilizers. www.rvupgradestore.com/Husky-Towing-26-1-4-49-1-4-Stabilizer-Jack-p/15-1470.htm. This is an example of ones similar to ours. Doesn’t completely stop moving but it’s way better.

were looking for longer term stops in the future. Thanks again
The campground we were at when we filmed this was Borrego Palm Canyon in Anza Borrego Desert State Park and has full hook up sites available.

ROFL!
Again Grand design needs to add outdoor kitchen no grill just sink n refrigerator would be perfect most people have their own grills they travel with but to have even a sink to wash hands while cooking after touching raw meat would be an wow!! Factor
Couldn’t agree more. 💖.
We think the newer models have a Blackstone grill - alas no sink. Stay tuned to see the modifications/upgrades we’ve done.
@@WhereTheyWander22 ok will do, but the outdoor sink is more needed than the grill most people have there own or barely use the attached grill bit the ability to wash your hands while cooking is a game changer!! No more traffic running in and out of RV, WOW FACTOR!!!
