    Yes..lol! I have been living in mine, × six years...Radio/AMFM,mold galore, leaks...one thing I could tell you , to do is install a fantastic fan....helps with the mold/ moisture issue.Really good air exchange, and sucks all the moisture out with in 5 mins.Another thing is to keep all of your cabinets, ajar or open to let air flow, in/ out of cabinets.Dosn, t allow mold or slows it down.One solution is to put vents/ bigger the better on your cabinet doors,.... to allow temp. air inside( trailor) to flow in the cabinets...combination of perixide/ammonia mix to kill the mold.....
    Thanks so much for sharing! Good luck with the Nsg.!😀👍

      Thanks for watching, Joe! We've added a dehumidifier to our rig. It had helped TONS with condensation and keeping things a little less humid in the rig. Great ideas!

    Thanks for sharing - a very interesting list. We own a GD 2670MK, but for recreational use only. I believe the mold and the finish on your cabinets are all related - moisture. Unlike in a house, running the AC in a camper can actually cause interior condensation, especially on windows. The smaller amount of air space in a camper gets more humid more quickly because every time you open the door you are exchanging a larger percentage of inside/outside air. Humidity from cooking and showering also play an out-sized role in the smaller space of a camper as well. A small or medium size dehumidifier will keep things a lot drier and really help alleviate your issues. Good luck!

    • @lifererouted

      Thank you for watching! Very good points, the moisture in campers is definitely an issue. We love the layout of the 2670MK!

    You guys did a great overview of everything in this video. We’ve been living full time in our Grand Design Reflection 5th wheel for about a year and a half now and have had the same great customer service from Grand Design! We’ve had a dehumidifier from day 1 (and knock on wood, we haven’t had any issues with mold).

    • @lifererouted
      @lifererouted  4 года назад +1

      That's one of the reasons we went with our camper, we'd heard so many good things about the customer service. Glad to hear you haven't had any mold issues - I think we're going to start running our dehumidifier all the time now!

    So amazingly the same as our 2018 Winabego 27BHSS trailer. Same issue with the propane hoses and regulator. Did you know that the stove vent has a damper inside it to close it off? You actually open it on the outside. It’s almost invisible when closed. You know it’s closed when the rv fills up with cooking fumes and the fan is running! We added a slide topper and it was a great decision. No more water seeping in. Highly recommend doing that.

    in my five years of full time in a 2600RB, my major issues have been living through sub-freezing weather and the awning motor and LED lights to the trailer. I do not care so much about the exterior lighting but it is a pain that even after two months of replacing the awning motor, it fails yest again (and had it replaced by a professional). i need to replace the toilet bowl gasket but think i will wait until spring to replace it and the pedal mechanism bushing. not comprehensive, but most important thing i have learned: if leaving the trailer unattended for Christmas vacation, de-waterify! Meaning, disconnect water, drain system, turn off hot water tank, drain hot water tank, open low water points! I would leave to go home for two weeks and this is what i do for sub-freezing weather. I learned to put a heating tape on the low water points because the water will freeze up into the junction - this is why i suggest draining the water system and remove the drain plug of the hot water tanks! The hot water tank does not completely empty unless the drain plug is pulled. BTW, living in a 2017 2600RB.

      It's nice to hear a fellow 2600RB full-timer's issues! Fingers crossed we haven't had issues with our awning motor yet. But we did have to replace the toilet. That's definitely interesting to hear about how you dealt with freezing temps- we just had our first experience with cold weather in our 2600RB (just put out a video yesterday about our mistakes!)

    Yes, the oven pilot is always an issue. While we don't currently full time yet, I have to work really hard to get the pilot going. Once I get it lit, we leave it on until travel day. Really, how hard would it be to put an electronic spark thing there to make it easier. The only other issue we have had so far is because we have the TV televator, our HDMI cable going to the stereo comes unplugged. So, I have to get a ladder on the outside, prop open the window, and reach down and re-connect. Really, this stuff should be designed much better. Great to see you folks enjoying the lifestyle. Once I retire, we will be traveling full time. And yes, it is normal for things to break. I have learned that I have to fix those items and more. It's all about the journey! Thanks for your video!

    • @lifererouted

    We have the 2019 2250 RK and got a recall notice from Grand Design on the propane regulator in July. Rather than take it to the dealer 30 miles away, I replaced it myself for under $50 with new hoses with level indicators. Other than the usual minor warranty fit and finish fixes, we haven't had any problems. Our shakedown camping trip was in the snow in West Yellowstone, MT and we learned how valuable the fireplace heater is. It's been a great trailer. We repack the wheel bearings every spring and touch up the roof seams with dicor sealant. Best trailer we've had hands down in over 35 years of RV ownership. Thanks for the vid!

      @MrSparks54 Месяц назад +1

      @@leec8573 I'll be totally honest, we have had a couple of minor issues that were corrected under warranty. The furnace heat shield to the cabinet it's in was loose and the cabinet by the sofa got warm. This was fixed. Also, the bathroom sink drain wasn't sealed properly and leaked, that was also fixed. One of the screws was missing from the kitchen blinds above the sink. That caused one of the remaining screws to pop out and one side fell after traveling a rough road. I fixed that myself.
      We have had it for 6 years now and have had no other issues other than the propane regulator mentioned in my first post. I replaced the original lead acid battery with a LifePO4. It needs new tires so I'll be ordering a set of 4 Goodyears. It has been to Yellowstone once a year, to Port Angeles, WA twice, Glacier NP once, numerous trips to camp sites here in Utah and Idaho.
      Our previous trailer was a 2013 Winnebago One 262RK, which was a pile of crap. So many things failed on that trailer, we were glad to get rid of it. I am very happy with our Grand Design Imagine.
      I pull it with a Chevy 2500HD (6.0 gas) which pulls it nicely. Cheers

    From an RV tech and 30+years of mobile electronics installation point of view... Jensen is trash, get something better.. and SEALANTS.. start on the roof.. reseal EVERYTHING with fresh Dicor NOW.. even if you don't think it looks like it needs it.. pay attention to your skylights..
    Also just reseal ALL of the sidewalls.. including top and sides around the windows.. just do it.. mold is NOT from you being in it.. it's sneaking in a gap somewhere.. pay special attention to the seams on the sides of the slide.. I fixed them all the time when they're brand new before they even get sold...
    Grand design is my brand I love it... But every camper is junk and you're beating it up driving down the road.. SEALANTS!

      Excellent comments, gary boone. I’m aiming to go full time living in a travel trailer by Summer 2022, and I don’t know where I stand anymore. I see so many bloody videos telling the truth that seem to substantiate your comments-they ALL seem to be made crappily. I’m almost at the point of opting to live in my SuperCrew truck and rough it a bit, vs. pay a full cash up front payment on a trailer that ends up being a rapidly decaying money pit. Really not sure at this point-but thanks for your sound advice, especially about the sealant. Smart!

    We had a new purchase 2017 GD 2150RB - loved it! Traded for a 2020 class C last fall. I don't remember having oven lighting issues... our class C has spark igniters on the burners AND oven - convenient. I think the only issue we had with the GD was loose screws - which is common with ANY camper. I think GD and others are finally moving away from those dark interiors. Our class C has much lighter colored trim and cabinets. Honestly paint is EASY! The only issue is that dark stain will probably take 2 coats of primer and possibly 2 coats of paint to cover! Spread the job out over 3 or 4 sessions! Do the bathroom, then move to the bedroom, etc.

    We have had our GD2150 going on 4 years now, its got over 20K miles on it.. I did replace the oven sensor because the oven wouldn't stay lit, if you can lite the pilot and it will stay lit it is ok, yes sometimes its hard.. got almost the 20k on the original tires, there is nothing wrong with them, just got new ones to start the year with.. stabilizer jacks were replaced, one led front light strip, were replaced by GD. I just finished staining and polyurathane on the drawers and doors of the cabinets from scratches over the past 4 years and they look good now... We also have had a couple of issues with mold inside when it sets over a period of non use for like 3 months, yes we use damp rid and watch it, never had that with out other camper! Overall its a good unit and I would recomend them, I still think they need a little work on their cabinets to improve the quality, and I still question the mold issue.. Thanks for your review.. w.

    Our converter went out the first trip and it was hard to find too. It was behind the circuit panel. 7 screws were left inside this area which shorted the converter out. Could have started a fire. Not impressed with our Grand design build quality for the 2020 year. They seem to be rushing production bc of the pandemic and forgetting safety. I hope nothing else goes wrong. Oh and all the seals around the slide fell off on out 1st time out and the screen door always sticks. Other than that we love it and the floor plan. 2910bh

    The propane regulator and hoses you are indicating are for a small single capacity usage. Or just one load on at a time. The green handle units are for multiple capacity usage. Your original unit, like mine was designed with the green handle connectors. The color indicates a larger flow or capacity line feeding the trailers gas line. The black hose connectors indicate a supply hose to let’s say a gas grill and not a trailer gas header with multiple loads, like a refrigerator, stove, water heater and heater that could all be running at the same time. You should recheck the regulator for proper gas flow specs compared to the specs for the original regulator and replace those black connector hoses with green connector hoses.

While Gr Design trailers are aesthetically pleasing and generally have nice floorplans, your critiques aren't the first I've heard about Gr Designs, which worries me. (Note: Since Winnebago purchased Gr Design, and given Winnebago's very solid quality reputation, I'm a bit surprised that the Winnebago's quality control hasn't translated into less problems for Gr. Design models.
    I'm still a bit undecided, but at this point, I'm leaning towards the Lance 2465, especially as the weight is under 6000 lbs., and it has a high quality, rock-solid look. Not quite as spacious as a Gr. Design, but there are pros and cons to both. Good luck in your future travels :)

    Regarding the finish on the kitchen drawer: they are not made of wood, use paint. Run a test first to see if it works. As a last resort, have anew drawer front made out of wood. I added doors in my bedroom (2019 model) that's when I found out about the cabinets.

    We have been full-time since Dec 2019 and love it. We have a 2019 Volante 33DB. We are stationary at a full time resort so haven't taken it out on the road yet. We have had issues with the facia in the kitchen, pantry doors and bathroom. It is an easy cosmetic fix. Our AC went out in the summer and that was the worst but it is fixed now after a warranty repair. It is tricky to light the oven, and I rarely use it. Lol. I want to take out the buffet table and couch asap! Not good for full time living. Other than that we love it. Looking forward to the kids graduating in a few years so we can take it on the road full time.

    I love the conversion you did to the dinette area. Nice job! I am considering a GD trailer as well, so your review on a GD trailer based on full time use is really appreciated. I am also very happy to hear that GD has good customer service.
    About things getting vibrated loose, have you considered some kind of suspension mod, especially since you are on the road full time? You can go crazy with suspension mods, but I am thinking of something modest, like the Sumo Springs, which I saw on the All About RV's channel. It seems to be an easy DIY job. I may even go for the Roadmaster Comfort Ride system if I feel particularly ambitious. :)
    Thanks for the video, and best wishes to you.

    2021 2600rb owner: On lighting the stovetop: Seems the lines bleed out after being turned off at the tank and fill with air(?). I turn on all 3 burners full to move some gas down the line and flush out the air(then it lights easily first try). My compass connect(bluetooth) function of my panel seems to be malfunctioning (won't connect to my phone any more). And the switch in my cable/antenna switch& power panel crapped out;so "Antenna"(T.V.) works fine, but I had no "cable" signal from the outside cable connector (in the wet bay).After checking all the cabling myself, I ordered my own replacement from the manufacturer("antennatek").

As far as leaks go I have had great luck using Lexel clear silicone around outside outlets and windows. I use it a lot in construction and it seems to hold up to the elements well. Btw, I have the same shower door and I was skeptical at first but it works very well! I do leave it pulled out to dry a bit after showers 😉

    I have a 23 bhe and we love the trailer and the floor plan. I've had issues with my radio too. The quality of the Jensen unit is very poor. I'll probably upgrade it if it goes bad again. Mine is a 2021 and I'm sorry I got this one during the pandemic. GD has been responsive but I'm. Having issues with customer service from General RV. GD did send me a new radio after the dealer told me it would be 2 months before they could see me. . Craftsmen are not building these things. The access holes are not square and wood chips are in every space that has a cover on it. My secondary spray port was missing and when I asked GD about it they said they ran out of them so built the trailer without it even though the advertising literature said it was there and I got 2 coiled hoses. I typically buy used and let someone selse go through these issues but we love the Floorplan and rvs are hard to find these days.

    Long time RVrs. The pilot light tube is very small and takes some time for the propane to get where it can be lit. Count about one minute. None of the newer made trailers or RVs have good workmanship. Expect trim to come off due to lack of glue and fasteners. Moisture is an issue in a trailer, especially due to bath shower use. Always crack a window and run fan to remove moisture, as well as crack windows when sleeping.

    Hey, that corrosion looks like it's a result of dissimilar metals being in contact with one another. It's called galvanic corrosion.

    The best thing you can use on the frame to deal with the rust is POR 15 you can look it up on the internet it was designed and made to paint frames during a restorations on cars and trucks. I run a small loader and build most of my attachments to fit it and paint all of them with it. And it holds up working in the dirt. Easy to put on but not a good shelf life. My suggestion is to buy it by the quart , put it on with a brush and never worry about that spot again.

Don't get it on the threads of the lid though you will never get it off again without breaking the jar. If it forms a crust on the top of it just take a screwdriver and bust threw it.

    You both did a great job on the video. We just purchased a 2020 grand design 2600RB and are looking forward to having a great time in it. Hopefully ours will hold up as good as yours. Great information.

      Thank you! I just used some clorox wipes and one of those magic erasers. A little elbow grease and I got most of it off!

    Appreciate overview of the coach, but interested on your tow truck. Power, mpg's on avg in normal conditions. Do you find yourself under powered. What type of WDH you're using. Man tow vehicle is everything; so time to time let us know in video how it's running. When you're catching a steep grade in high elevation how does it run? How is the truck braking on a decent with a strong grade; do you flip it into cruise for trans to break for you, does it hold break for you ?

      Jesse, I am planning a video on the truck hopefully soon. Truck does well, no real issues towing and gets about 11-13 mpg while towing. WDH is the Equalizer E-4

      @@lifererouted that is great Mileage. and I understand. Gives you more dialog some like me are technical with that. Today there allot of women going at this alone and would pick up on that. I imagine you catch cross winds and head winds etc.. bring it into your dialog because its real its happening at the moment and you were able to capture it and bring it to us. We picked up or first RV 19footer Feb 5th in Ohio and camped ten days until we made it back to our home Miami, FLA. That same day I fought 15-20 MP Westward winds dropped my MPG's down to 7-8 mpg and only going 55-58. I had it like that for two hours. But had to get into Tennessee. And finally it lead up, yet felt like it was all day lol exhausting. Anyway you two have allot potential and your pisser man. In your expressions etc..

    Hey thanks for the great video...we just put a deposit down for a Grand Design Imagine 2800BH. I noticed you have a bike rack on the rear bumper of your unit. Have you ever had any issues traveling with the rack on the rear bumper of your unit? With our new unit, I am looking to add a bolt-on receiver to place around the rear bumper. Looks like you were able to add your rack, immediately next to your spare, is that how you have it configured?? If you have any advice about adding the rack to the back bumper, I certainly would appreciate any insight. We already have a rack that slides into a receiver so we are looking to avoid buying another rack which goes over the A-frame. Thanks again for the video.

      We haven't had any issues with it so far - but we thought long and hard before doing it! Our bikes together with the rack weigh under 100 pounds and we use straps to help minimize shaking while driving. We put the hitch receiver on ourselves and tested where to put it in relation to the spare tire before fixing it in place. This is a topic that catches a lot of controversy and it took us over a year to decide to do it (we used to just put the bikes inside the camper during drives) but so far we're glad we did and we haven't had any issues! Thank you so much for watching, hope this helps you!

      @@lifererouted thanks for the reply...it’s good to get more opinions about doing this...if it isn’t much trouble could you add a pic or two centered on the bike rack secure to the bumper? I am curious to see where it is exactly and how it looks at a closer distance. Thanks again.

    My radio in my grand design stopped working also. I figured out there is a reset button and it was back working again. I agree with you on the oven it is very hard to start. I just bought a toaster oven and cook in it and my crockpot. Lol. Have yall had any problems with any water coming in on the outside compartments? Just asking because I am and can not figure out why. And I am a full time rv person also, with my two pomeranians. We love it.

      I think we've been through 3 different radios already, and the one we have now isn't working properly...We haven't had any issues with leaking in the compartments, just the issue with the outside outlet, and we fixed that pretty simply. Hope that helps! Hello, fellow dog owners!
