- We've been living in our Grand Design Momentum 320G Toy Hauler for over a year now. It's been a great year of adventures and working on the road. We have made quite a few modifications to our home on wheels and thought we's share them with you. Enjoy!
Shout out to Mike & Kirby! Our #1 Fans!

Mark is a master. Well done!! Lot's of great ideas.
Nice modifications, i like the doors to get access to the upper storage.
I'm so glad you took time to share your many improvements! You've made so many rooms out of the few you had before. That is exactly why I'm looking for a toy hauler to have guest room, laundry room, office and craft room. If I purchase this layout I think I would also like to put a banquet in where the couch is and put the recliners in the master bedroom instead of the bed since I sleep in an adjustable bed anyways. Maybe I could turn the bathroom in this layout to an all in one washer dryer unit with shelves on the rest of it? I love the idea of reverse access to the bunk hole - I think it's actually a more private idea is it was reversed and use the same ladders? Accessing the kitchen would disturb anyone sleeping up there anyways. Great ideas and great hubby!! Thank you!
WOW!! Most mods I’ve seen to date. All good and well planned. Thanks!! Thanks
Fantastic! My wife and I recently bought a 320G and will be using many of your ideas. Thank you for this video.
You should go to work for grand design team! Very crafty with unique ideas. Love your ideas!
Ok this is by far the smartest set of mods I've seen ! ...So when do you want to sell this rig?! lol
I came back to thank you for the link for the bed struts. They work perfectly!
Loved the video! Thank you for taking the time to do this! Was wondering with you being full time, why no washer and dryer in the garage?
It's just the 2 of us so we just go to the laundromat about every 10 days or so. We also didn't want to use alot of our water from our fresh water tank when we don't have full hook ups. Not to mention the space they take up.
Thank you for sharing this video! Nice practical use of areas that people would never use. Especially recessing the control panel. Gaining a couple inches and giving you an extra coat closet…
Brilliant! Cheers🍻
The control panel closet! Wow! One of the best mods I've ever seen. And I'm only 9 mins into video...
Thanks. One of our favorite mods.
Can you share details about the control panel relocate and dimmer switch wiring?
We have a 2019 model. Behind the control panel is a big empty area with a significant hole in the right wall to feed wires. After unscrewing the control panel, I removed the wooden panel surrounding the control panel. Then, I installed some mounting strips further back and mounted the wooden panel to these strips. As for the dimmer, there were three wires connected to the original switch. One for the main lights, one for the light over the microwave and one for the lights over the seating area. I fed the main lighting wire and a new power wire down to a hole where I mounted the dimmer switch and spliced the power wire to the original power wire from the original switch.
We bought a 350G. You got some great ideas. Thanks for sharing. We subscribed.
We just bought our 2021 320G! I know we are going to love it! You both were very creative in your use of space. Any tips or lessons learned on putting in the two cabinet doors in the garage above where the bunk bed is? Also, where did you find the 12 volt dimmer switch you installed in the main area? You added a lot of shelves throughout, tips about materials and installation? I know...almost 20 questions...LOL
I’d like to hear more about the dimmer also.
Love the bunk sliding door!
Mark and Patty,I enjoyed seeing what you've done to the RV.Everything looks awesome
Kirby was highly impressed with your usage of storage (and all the added storage you created). Great video. I love that you’re living your dream!
Awh. Thanks guys!
excellant upgrades! Not crazy! But efficient!
Any chance you could share the dimensions of the cabinet openings you cut out for the bunk storage (in the garage)? Also, did you reinforce the structure in any way? It appears (in my 320g) that the majority of structural integrity is provided by the vertical back wall - unless there's actually metal or long wood studs that span the actual bed of the bunk? I'm concerned that I'll be reducing the load capacity of the bunk by cutting the doors into the vertical wall if I don't header and footer the holes somehow. Am I overthinking this process? Thanks for the dimensions and advice! I love this mod
Thank you. We would love to see some how to videos on how you did some of your mods. I know I’m not as handy as Mark and the tutorials would be great.
Is there a particular mod that you would like to know more about?
Tooling Along the of the moving of the control panel and build out of that cabinet. That one alone would probably cover a number of topics. I built a shelf for the bathroom with framed legs because screwing into the walls makes me nervous.
@@darrelcrimmins3820 We'll see what we can do about putting a video together. thanks for the input.
Instead of just moving the switch for the four main lights in the living room, I installed a triple-ganged switch under the thermostat. The stove light, slide lights, and the living room lights are now controlled by their own switch. I also added a 4th drawer in the open space above the others in the peninsula. There is plenty of space for it. I just knocked out the panel and ordered another complete drawer from Grand Design.
We definitely want to put a fourth drawer in. It's crazy how much useful space is "hidden" in this model.
@@toolingalong13 It cost more to ship the parts from the factory than the parts themselves cost .It was worth it, though, to have the drawer match all the others.
@@toolingalong13 I am also working in the basement pass-through to open up more room. The plumbing looks like a Gordian's knot, so I am cleaning it up. Also moving the transfer switch to the kitchen wall, along with the Charger/Converter. The goal is to move the solar equipment into the newly reclaimed space.
@@toolingalong13 I also put shelves under the kitchen sink, and both of the bathroom sinks. It creates more usable space.
We are also planning to do work in the basement. Where are you all located?
Do you have the larger oven part # you got to replace the too small of an oven in the 320?
Just search for "Furrion 21" RV 3-Burner Gas Oven Range". Couldn't find an actual part #. I even checked our order form and it didn't indicate a part #. Hope this helps. Good luck!
Thanks for the video! I'm looking at a 320G myself. Even without any toys, you seem to have that thing pretty well loaded! Any issues with the weight in regards to the axles or OEM drum brakes? Do you happen to know what your actual pin weight is?
All excellent additions to your home! Are the puck lights under the rear bed hard wired or battery powered? The USB outlet you added to the same bed, how did you get power to it?
The puck lights under the bed are battery powered. We use rechargeable batteries for them. We got the power for the USB outlet from the push light that is right below it on the wall.
@@toolingalong13 Thank you! Great job!
When can we get more macerator content?
We'll give you your very own personal macerator tutorial and then we can go out for smoothies.
@@toolingalong13 Idk about that, sounds like a pretty crappy deal to me
Hello, Excellent Work. Can you share any information with the doors backside of the loft (in the garage). Which hinges are those that lock? Did you have to add any trim to your cutout? Any additional pictures would be great. Northbay94928 At Gmail oh and the 4th drawer mod, just install raills? did the replacement drawer come with them?
