ABOUT US
Welcome to Grand Adventure, a RUclips channel that focuses on RV-centric outdoor activities including not only of course camping, but also mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing and more, always filmed in stunning 4K.
We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah during the winter months, and invite you to come along as we travel all around the U.S. My wife Patricia and I, and dog Zoe are avid boondockers, so while you'll occasionally find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. We've now transitioned from "long-timing" for six months a year, to living and traveling in our RV full-time.
We'll provide beautiful travel videos, as well as some tips and insight on trip planning, and equipping and maintaining your RV to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!

I couldn't remember, I had to look it up, but we have a Brooklyn mattress. A different one than yours but it still good. We looked at many different options and read many reviews. I am glad we went with Brooklyn. It is very comfortable.
That's great feedback Diane, thank you.
We looked at Brooklyn and the mattress we needed was $1200.00! OUCH...and that was on sale. We have a RV King. We ended up finding a local "Mom and Pop" company who have been making beds for 40 years in Phoenix. Got a new mattress for $500.00. It is not an individual coil type but does have a 10 years warranty. I haven't had a chance to use it yet but my figures are crossed. It HAS to be better than the OEM! Great video!
Thanks Michael! Whatever works for you, of course. Brooklyn Mattress isn't inexpensive, that's for sure, but the difference in construction between a coil mattress and a gel mattress helps to explain that price differential.
That looks like a great upgrade! I suspect that when the viewers see your 6’ 5” frame standing on that mattress, they’ll wonder where you found an RV with 9’ ceilings…. That room is ENORMOUS ;-)
🤣
Thanks, and safe travels!
Thanks for sharing... Looks great. We have been looking.
We can only speak for our experience with Brooklyn Bedding (rvmattress.com), but from choosing our options to manufacture to shipping to sleeping, our experience was truly exceptional.
That mattress looks awesome. Good to see Homie at Large was helping you out. Looking forward to the next episode. Thanks Don
Thank you as always, Don!
Thanks for the advice
Thats for the great video! We finally ordered an RV Mattress!!!
You're most welcome! Hope that you enjoy yours as much as we enjoy ours.
Have been looking at them. Getting close to buying one! Thanks for the look at video.
Our pleasure Larry, thanks for watching!
Just so everyone understands about RV Mattress. Their 30 day in-home guarantee means you HAVE to use their mattress for 30 days before they will accept a return. We ordered the medium firmness just like in this video. For us it was incredibly HARD. My husband is disabled so it is paramount to get something else with his pain level. RV Mattress refuses to allow us to return this mattress. We full time so we do not have room for 2 mattresses so we have to use this thing for 30 days until we can get our $1000 back. Not trying to bash the company but want people to understand what they're getting into before they place their order. If we had known this we would have never bought from this company.
That's good feedback, Wanda. Thank you.
Fortunately, the mattress that came with our trailer is good - too good! We sleep like a couple of logs in it.
Crater Lake is a pretty cool place. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks Marc.
Ram
👍🏼👍🏽
Consider yourselves fortunate! So were we, actually -- when Brooklyn Bedding approached us we cautioned them that we actually were pretty happy with ours. However, we didn't know what we were missing. Our ignorance was bliss.
Looks like a good product Marc.. I especially like the cooling effect!
Thanks Suzane! Honestly I was very skeptical of that claim, but it truly does work.
Just ordered mine. Thanks for the great content on your channel.
Thank you very much Jim! We appreciate your viewership, and we trust that you will be as happy with yours as we are with ours.
looks like a great upgrade. looking forward to Crater Lake!
We look forward to bringing that to you next week, thanks Mickster!
I look forward to the Crater Lake video. We'll be visiting there in late August.
Tom, the place is positively stunning.
Thank you! 🙂
Thank you for watching, Bruce!
Didn’t do the trailer, but we upgraded our home’s bedroom mattresses!
Any chance we can get a link to the bed lift shocks you purchased? I need stronger ones for mine also.
You made that look pretty easy and I hope you get to try it out for say 10 years. 👍🏻
You bet Robert, we got these: amzn.to/3IO8iWL
Two things you'll want to check on your old ones: their length, and lid weight rating. Ours were 20" and 80 lb, so we basically doubled the strength with these new 150 lb struts, but with the same length these were exact replacement drop-ins. That upgrade process would've been incredibly simple, were in not for the fact that the hinge on our bed platform couldn't handle the extra stress and promptly pulled out of the plywood. The manufacturer had used only tiny screws, and inserted in only every third hole of the hinge. Beefier screws inserted in every hole of the hinge promptly solved that problem.
CHEERS Marc been in the 90 the last couple of days in central OR
We've been at altitude, Norm, so we've been very comfortable in the mid-70s in central OR and successfully avoided the heat down below.
Great show. Been following your episodes for a little while now as a couple looking to join the rv life as we enter retirement. Was a little suprised to see all 5th wheels boondocking. I would have thought a travel trailer would be the primary boondocking rv. I guess it's an advantage to not have the hitch down low.
Thanks Greg, and here's to you joining the lifestyle! Honestly length matters far more than hitch type for getting into boondocking spots. We've owned both, and if anything it's a bit easier to turn a fiver.
Thanks for the info.. I just changed from factory king to aftermarket queen .. Alows me room to get off bed on either side after cutting down platform..
That must've provided a lot more room if not needed, J.
@@GrandAdventure had to get on and off bed from the end now I can roll off the side.
Great information, Marc. This is definitely the way to go for a mattress replacement.
Amazing that they can squash down that much spring and plush into a quarter of it's inflated volume. Special equipment needed for sure.
No amount of suckers 😙 can do that on their own. Release the SUCKERS...
Gord
It is truly remarkable, Gord, especially given that they need to compress all of those coils with the vacuum process.
@@GrandAdventure I think they must physically compress the mattress at the same time they pucker and seal it. Once flattened, they can roll it up and stretch wrap the bundle.
Gord
Your right our rv mattress is crap, we put a 2 foam toppers on it , helped some but still not great, might look onto one of these, thanks for the video, travel safe
Thanks Gary, and same to you!
We bought the SIGNATURE HYBRID for our GD 2500RL. It’s a awesome mattress and perfect height for the GD it doesn’t cover the shelves/cubbyholes. My wife has a bad back so we got the firm and we sleep awesome! I did a review on google if anyone has a GD 2500RL and would like to see how it looks inside. I don’t think there’s a better mattress out there and it’s made in America 🇺🇸 you can’t go wrong.
We wholeheartedly agree, Anthony.
Boy am i good LOL...Called that Crater Lake stop bout a week ago....Dont know if your already there yet or not as of this video but a really nice place to stay is Joseph H. Stewart Recreational area to explore that area....Travel safe, be well....
Yes you are! Thanks for the tip, and same to you! We boondocked at the Diamond Lake Recreation Area, which we'll feature in next week's episode. Enjoy the area!
@@GrandAdventure Ah, so your a little north of Crater lake...Place i mentioned is a bit south of Crater...I smell some waterfall exploration in next weeks video judging from that area your at...I believe that Hwy 138 close by leads to a couple of them if i remember right....ENJOY !!
@@akgobears hmmmm...could be ... 😁
@@GrandAdventure LOL, usually you got me fooled with the places/area's you camp...But now your in area's am familiar with somewhat...Am also thinking the possibility of the Mt. Hood/Columbia River Gorge soon....Keeping fingers crossed LOL, be well
@@akgobears I'll quell the suspense for you on that one. I had to make a decision: Hood or Rainier, as I didn't have time for both. I've skied Hood before in summer, so I opted for Rainier.
I knew something wasn't right when I got on the Brooklyn website because if I didn't give them my email and agreed to receive advertisements I would not be allowed to see prices. Thats BS, no thanks!
That's good feedback. However, I'm not able to replicate that ourselves. I just clicked through to rvmattress.com/grandadventure and was able to quickly find pricing without signing up for anything?
Hi, Marc! We met you in Port Aransas and enjoy your channel! We're wanting to know what you think of your Brooklyn mattress now that it's been a few months. Pet Zoe for us!
Hey Barbara! Great to hear from you again. Honestly, we love that mattress. We are big fans of the company's product and customer service. It has held up well over the first year of ownership, and we can't get over the improvement over the OEM mattress that came in the RV. We sleep like babies.
@@GrandAdventure So you wake up every 2 hours wanting to be fed? 👶🏼😄
@@JDubsPub yeah, it always was a stupid expression. 😄
@@GrandAdventure Haha! Point well taken though. Thank you for the video! I'll be buying one as soon as I figure out which one to get. 🤔
Do you have a link to the upgraded struts?
Sure, Joe! We bought these: amzn.to/43PoZLi
However, it's important to calculate the weight of your platform/mattress to ensure that you're buying the right strut. Too weak and they won't provide the proper lift. Too strong and it'll be tough to close or keep closed.
@@GrandAdventure thank you.. makes sense
We have the Brooklyn memory foam
How has that worked out for you?
@@GrandAdventure love it and for 540.00 well worth the money
And it's made in the 🇺🇸
Yup, their factory is right in Arizona.
Sorry folks for leaving the chat prematurely, I accidentally refreshed and once the video finishes Premiering I can't get back in.
How much does it weigh?
He quoted 100lbs.
Yep, 100 lb was the shipping weight, so just barely under once you back out the minimal weight of the box.
FYI- Your grandadventure Promo doesn't do squat. They already give every Tom, Dick & Harry 25% off making yours redundunt.
Brooklyn Bedding is an excellent business partner with a truly quality product, and one whose support of Grand Adventure allows us to embark upon 7 full months of travel to film and present to our viewers, as we're heading out this week to do. We appreciate them immensely, and we are proud to have them with us. Without valued partners like Brooklyn Bedding, Grand Adventure could not exist.
Great video Marc,
Yes, stock RV mattresses suck. Please do a 6 month review on your new one too.
We'll certainly integrate that into another episode in about 6 months' time. Thanks JT!
Bed commercial? No thanks
Agreed :( No doubt you should upgrade, but there are many, many options. You'd be better off watching mattress comparison videos.
