    This is by far the best couples camper I have seen to date! Pantry AND trashcan space AND a bathroom worthy of chili night. It's the Travel Trailer Trifecta! Happy to see on the GD site, theater seating is standard and the trifold is optional. Since I don't like overnight guests, I don't want anywhere comfy for them to get the idea 😉. Two things I think I would change. One is the bedside storage. I would prefer a cutout in or shelf behind the closet. Second is I would like an option for a table instead of the dinette.

    I am pretty much set on a small 5th wheel but this actually makes me rethink that. I like everything (really rare) except for two things, which you've pointed out: dark(ish) colour and the need to lean forward to use the stove, especially the back burner. A theater seat option would be really nice. Thanks for doing such a great top reviewing this TT.

    I love road mode in this one! I also love the front cap with no window since our county likes to chip seal the roads. I'm not a big fan of the open shelving although I really like the bathroom space otherwise. The other complaints I have are fairly nitpicky, for instance, I'd love a shelf behind the bedside closet because those just look so handy, perfect place for my glasses and charging my tablet while reading my e-book.

  • @jeffreytull5767
    @jeffreytull5767 2 роки тому +4

    Both my wife and I agree that this is an amazing design! Love all the windows and the road mode. Its a little long for my taste, so I hope that in coming years GD applies this to shorter models. My two complaints: cabinet doors in bathroom (stuff will be everywhere) and disjointed kitchen. At the very least, switch the fridge and stove. And a minor nitpick... that light in the pantry seems great for the top shelf but not much else. I wish they'd put an LED strip down a side or under each shelf, if they feel the need to do anything. Great video, emperor!

      @@JoshtheRVNerd I would reduce the bed to RV Queen, remove part of the bathroom counter so it's more "traditional" and turn the shower so that you can shorten the bathroom. That bathroom would be great for full timers, but if I'm only using it for trips then more compact would be fine. Finally, if you really want to get jiggy with it, you could center the wall with the sink and reduce it to 1 counter, creating a second "entry" to the bedroom, then you could push it flush with bed. I know, makes for cramped quarters, but refer to my full timer comment. =) I'm no RV designer... but i play one on youtube. =}

    I would put backsplash all around the stove. It wouldn’t brake long for the side of the tv / closet get splashed. Then it would look bad. The other is a door on the bathroom storage.

    OK Josh.... I really like this one... and, the over all kitchen storage, and the kitchen slide is executed nicely in this model, but I do wish the stove and frigerator were swapped so that the stove was closer to the sink. Maybe, they could push the counter and the stove out to the edge of the slide more so that there wouldn't be the worry of the leaning over the stove. I'd also like to see them make the bedroom TV spot be actually on the wall at the foot of the bed, but ehhh, no biggie there. The bathroom is so large and in charge with a nice sized shower!!! Over all, I'm impressed with this one!!!

    The toe-kik slide is a great benefit in my opinion. The vinyl doesn't roll up and doesn't get holes poked in it. It may be a bit of an inconvenience over the floor-flush slide but the fact remains that the floor-flush slide is not completely flush and you tend to have to put down rugs and still have to lean into the slide. So I'd prefer the toe-kick slide. In addition to that the room doesn't have to do the escalator thing to sit down into the slot when it's out and then doesn't have to go back up hill to be pulled in. It is so much easier on the motor and you won't burn it out trying to lift the refrigerator. It is a huge deal. Far better than the floor flush slide. Great video!!!

      @@JoshtheRVNerd You most certainly are correct. I spoke with one of your salesman at Haylett in 2017 for about a month. We had bad credit and had to trade in our previous trailer because we were upside down. We just couldn’t find a way to make it work. But we did end up finding one near my parents house and got a great rate on financing at the 1st Bank of Mom. And they actually gave us money on our trade; not much but it made it worth the trip to trade it in. But yes, we love the open range with the exception of the floor that won’t lay down. My wife and I have both fallen after tripping on the rolled up vinyl.

    I have a 2016 Grand Design Imagine 2600RB. We are a couple and absolutely love it. My only complaint is you can't get to the bedroom while the slide is closed. This design fixes that, I am impressed. Other thing in my rig - the thermostat is in the bedroom so if you left the A/C on when you left camp and have the slide closed, you can't get to the thermostat until the slide is open. This new Transcend looks like they put the thermostat in a place not too easy to get to when the slide is closed. And I agree with you Josh, I would want the theater seats in this thing. We have them in the Imagine and they recline nearly full flat and are super comfortable! Have fell asleep watching the TV in these many a camp night.... thanks for the review!

    Transcend makes my favorite floorplan ever (240ml). But this might have to replace it only because of the size of the bathroom. I was just getting ready to comment about how as a disabled person who sometimes uses a wheelchair but has very limited mobility this bathroom would work for me quite well and you actually made the comment about it being close to ADA compliant. There is enough room in the shower to put a chair down for someone to sit on if there was only a way to put some type of a shower bar either inside the shower unit or outside to assist with getting in and out of the shower it would be perfect. Using a small travel chair you could likely wheel up to the bathroom sink. Grand Design just does such an awesome job with their RV's. I agree I would love to see theater seats in this model as well as an option for a table and chairs rather than a dinette but I understand that their target market is not higher end RV shoppers. True, GD needs to really look at doing some lighter interior options. I'm okay with dark cabinetry but it would really be awesome to have at least a mid-tone taupe or tan or even beige fabrics/leathers. Of course having the option for white cabinetry or a farmhouse decor would be awesome for me personally I know that's not everyone's taste but at least have some choices so it's not brown on brown and brown on brown on brown and brown on brown on and then some more brown.

    I don't really have a preference between stick and tin or fiberglass. I think what sold us on the Transcend was the Floorplan (240ml) and we love it.Grand design does take of their customers the other reason we chose them. Our cubbies in the bathroom and cupboards all.in the back of the camper have rode really well so far while traveling. I haven't had anything fall out or move much .It does seem odd about no theater option in the 260 rb. Hope you can do a video on the new no slide Transcend 255 FK model just curious about floorplan.

      When I first read your suggestion I though, ya, that’s a good idea. But when you think about it, the type of slide they’ve used forces you to lean forward for whatever they put in it. So I think it would be less annoying to have the stove in the slide. With the sink where it is, you can get closer to it and personally I don’t think you spend as much time constantly in front of the stove when cooking vs when doing the dishes. So less ache in your back.

    Also, new model idea -- I don't know how much length they would need to add, but take that floor plan and lengthen it enough to turn the bed east/west, then make the front full-width storage (maybe add washer/dryer prep?)...
    Otherwise as-is, I would ditch the shower-side storage and fill all that space with shower. Maybe sacrifice some of that bathroom counter for full-height storage on one side of the sink? That's a ton of bathroom counter space! I could survive with about half that much.

    Nice! Yes, a lighter color, please! I would swap the refrigerator next to the pantry, this way the stove/countertop would be closer to the sink/countertop for food prep. The way it is the distance would seem a bit much. Yea, I think your toes will kick the slideout lip, I guess the reason why toe kicks are underneath the countertop area in a residential kitchen. Maybe bringing the countertops out flush with the lip on the slide floor might help. Couch/theater seat, eh, I would take a workspace area or maybe give the option to delete and space for dog crates. Or... push the kitchen to the front of the trailer and make a rear bedroom / mid bath trailer. Personally, it's nicer to have the bath attached to the bedroom for changing and getting ready for the day and night. Thanks for the videos.

    • @johnirwin1837

      I think the reason the kitchen arranged this way is because it is the same layout that is used in other models. Such as our 337 RLS 5th and it cousin in the large TT floorplan which have a center island because they have opposing slides. I agree in this floorplan the stove needs to be where the frig is for the counter top handinesss. The kitchen toe kick does not bother us as we spend very little time at the stove/ micro.

    Oh I do like this unit! It has one of the best layouts I have seen so far. Period!
    While the outside looks like I am watching a black and white TV show, there is an easy fix for that. Run a 3 inch reflective tape stripe all the way around it in either red, yellow, blue, orange or green just to add a dash of color. I would place the stripe in the center of that black belt line stripe that runs down the side.
    I would also consider adding a 2nd solar panel to the roof for that extra power benefit.
    Another feature I would change after it comes home, is to swap out the black wheels for some chrome spoke wheels or some white wheels with dog dish hubcaps. (Not baby moons, but the flattish ones)
    There is a bit to much brown on the inside, but some decorating can mute that.
    I love the sliding door and huge well laid out bathroom. I would like to see one of those mail slot windows in the slider above the kitchen window. But not really sure that would be doable.
    The access to this trailer in road mode is fantastic!
    This is probably best pulled by a 3/4 ton or up truck or suv in my opinion.

    Very nice unit. I totally love the way this is laid out as a couples camper. And your right that there is something different about the siding on these trailers that just adds a real touch of class.
    The stove and fridge need to be flipped. As is the cooking area is annoyingly spread out and it doesn’t have to be. I’d also pull the stove out flush with the edge of the slide. That couple of inches could really make a difference on how comfortable it is to cook in the kitchen. GD on their web page shows theater seats as standard and the trifold as an option. Is that wrong?
    The bathroom needs doors over a lot of those open cabinets. And no outlets in there at all in a couples camper?? That really needs to be fixed.
    My other nit to pick is that it’s a 30A electrical service. I feel like a trailer this size especially in stick and tin needs the option of a second AC. Plus as I’ve argued before it’s all too easy to overload a 30A circuit on almost all modern trailers.

Feared was going to have to buy one of them tankless water heaters, nope that quick recovery is awesome. Funny thing, they sold our 24RLXL before we even left with the new 260RB. Mine did come with the Theater seat and i tell ya, that was great to sit in it during breaks even with the slide in. We did remove the pedestal legs and went with a scissor like, pull the knob and it folds over. That's been the best upgrade so one as fluffy as myself is, can actually move the dinette table and sit comfortably. Best Wishes!
