Quality Lightweight Travel Trailer
Love this, every time I pick a camper I find one I love more! Bathroom is TOO AMAZING! I prefer this kitchenette w/surrounding bench. Yet to find one with space for the washing machine I found, foot powered by pedaling, needs about 2 foot by 3 feet....
When i reach age 67 i will buy something like that and live rent free.
It wont be rent free. You still have to park it some place and have access to power and water
If you do not pay for it up front you still have to make payments and it can be repo'd if you miss payments , so its just like renting .
Is this the same Ruben from SA TX that i know ? Simple YES or no is fine. :)
Cuanto costaria este remolque?
18:09 is that daylight I see between the slide and the interior of the trailer? Also can’t use the bed with the slide in.
Joeduke1234, keen eye you have. Fortunately what you’re seeing is a cosmetic chrome strip that’s inlaid into the slide casing, not daylight. You are correct in that you need to have the slide out in order to fold the Murphy bed down completely. In the unlikely event you’re unable to open the slide fully and need to sleep in the trailer, you can fold the U-shaped dinette down as an extra sleeping position. Thanks for your comment!!😀
Where’s the plugs
You Forgot to show the Bathroom!
Plywood floors guys tongue and groove plywood floors not that crappy stuff
Clayton does an absolutely fantastic job explaining thoroughly this excellent GD trailer. And, his outstanding, super-steady camera work more than adequately paint the picture with fine detail of all the angles and features of the 17MKE.
WELL DONE, Clayton.
By the way, I purchased the 2020 model over a year ago and couldn't have done a better job boasting of all its great features.
Thank you for your excellent video, from Colorado Springs and touring the western United States...and someday, western Canada! 🇨🇦
Anything built by keystone sucks . Customer service is a joke and don’t honour there warranty.
Thanks for this great video! We're picking up our '22 mke on Friday... I can't wait!
Your English is great, and fully understandable.
Absolutely awesome floor plan - you could live in it full time. 👍🏻
Could you get this with no dinette? I would love to put a desk in that spot
Went to America-Go-RV the other day and the sales guy since it was hot outside didn't even wanna take me for a tour or show me RV's. Then he mentioned that they sell out so fast they really don't care much about customers because someone else will just come in and buy one. I'll be buying my RV from somewhere that cares this next time i go!
This camper looks great... the design appears to be very well thought out, in addition to the colors and stylings chosen.
But, why on Earth, would I want to look at the bottom 6 inches of my mattress & the smooshed up sheet corners? The wood is so pretty across the top of the closed Murphy bed. However, it looks like a mistake in measuring leaving the end of the mattress hanging out & exposed to me... (why not bring the wood “valance“ down further to it?) Not a good design there, I’m afraid. Most every other little detail looks very good, which makes this design detail stand out like a sore thumb. Perhaps you could let the powers that be know that this looks cheap and it bugs people who have to look at it. Overall, this camper is Winner!
Best Regards from a Florida happy camper 🍊
I've been window shopping for a few months trying to narrow down my eventual purchase... you have sold me on Grand Design. Now I just need to narrow down if I want to do the 1/2 ton towable 5th wheel or a travel trailer... definitely going with Grand Design just because of your reviews.
MY FAVORITE Review Guy on the planet! terrific job and I love this Travel Trailer. Can my 2007 FJ Cruiser tow this???
You could actually live in this one full time! Amazing!
That's what I'm doing..I'm in California and the property owner is selling the house I have rented for 12yrs and nowhere is renting now for under 3k unless you are in the hood. To be honest I'm scared man. I'm a single dad and I just hope it's not to ruff on her and we are safe. I'm very worried about safety because they are so flimsy.
Very informative and detailed. Thank you!
Price that’s the main thing people want to know
Great video, learned a lot from it!
Thanks for your videos! I have a 2021 Lincoln Aviator that has the class IV towing package and trailer brakes controller installed. I have a 6700 towing capacity and a payload just north of 1644lb. Is this trailer suitable for my SUV, or am I cutting it too tight for longer drives and for driving through some occasional mountain roads? We like this model, but would like an alternative should this be unsafe. Thanks
How much is it going for
Wow, Gorgeous!🏆
Nice
What is the price be good to know in the states but like your video and info thanks
Put the floor plan and GVWR at the beginning of your video, long enough for someone to read . A lot of these videos I don’t bother with unless they show that at the beginning.
Awesome little trailer. I'd love to start out with something like this.
Took 18 minutes to make it inside…
Can you get to everything when slide is in ? Thank you , I hope to hear from you. We are also like to see what you have without a slide if this won’t work with side into walk all a round to get to things without putting side out . Wish you would have put the side in so we could see. Thank you for showing the trailer !
At least what I’ve seen in other videos, you have access to sofa, dinette, kitchen/fridge, and even the bathroom! Only thing is bed cannot go down.
Yes, you can still get around to everything with the slide out in. Except put the bed down.
Your video inspired us to purchase the GD 17MKE. This is the best review ever! Keep up the good work.
I just bought one yesterday! Coming back to review the video again! I’ve been RVing most of my life and this is one of the most well thought out designs I’ve seen.
@@jbjlock26 We used it on our way back to CA from Tenn. Got a great deal at Dunlap Family RVs. I think you will like it!! Happy travels!!
exceptional video Woody’s RV World. I smashed that thumbs up on your video. Always keep up the awesome work.
You forgot the most important part, the price.
Minot, North Dakota just started looking. Great review and info... do you have any of these available even a few years older versions. Love this set up
Clayton, as always, you present your viewers very informative videos! I really like this floor plan, but due to budget constraints, the transcend xplor 200mk is more feasible for us. I wonder though, if the Murphy bed in this model can be installed in the 200mk, (in place of the fixed bed) to gain additional seating? Thank you.
We want you to talk about structure and you speak very well you sound Irish a Celtic man!
Price? Sell in the US?
Awesome review! Very detailed and informative.
Minor thing I know, but Winnebago’s Murphy bed system uses a slightly bigger base so you have no gaps. When up you can’t see the bedding sticking out.
Clayton, we picked up ours today, with the dinette just like this! Grand Design continues to tweak the design. They’ve added bedside cubbyholes now later in the model year. We’re super impressed with the attention to detail throughout. Your video definitely contrived to our decision to buy!
What was the cost on these trailers?
those bedside cubbyholes are sweet! They have usb in them.
@@djsonfire0001 That's what I'd like to know, but no one ever gives just a "base price" for them, which is frustrating for people who are shopping.
I like it how much is it
So nice but I would never get one because there's hardly any windows! Too bad they scrimp on windows, the most important thing! No side windows in dinette and no front window! You will feel boxed cooped up in there. I think anybody would rather spend another $1000 more to have more windows.
New ones have windows in slide out.
We winter camp. Windows means large heat loss. For us, the smaller/fewer windows the better.
Sandra Westley from the UK yes we would do panoramic windows all around the front, we holiday on a beautiful site with the sea all around and you would need the windows to enjoy the view.
Sorry didn't hear the price!?
I hope you eventually turned the "bed light" out ! You folded the bed back with the light still on:)
I know that was my thought too...lol
No mention on price?
What time of the year would I get the best price?
There are dozens of shorter overview videos but they don't offer many of the details provided here. If you want a quick overview, watch other videos, but when you want a deeper dive come back to this one. Also glad to see the dinette. Even though dinettes seem to be losing favor, I don't understand needing two sofas in a couples camper. The murphy bed isn't for everyone, but we like the dual-function space and ability to keep the dinette.
please show or at least talk about when the slide is in
Perhaps I missed it but how much will this unit set me back? I’m
Price?
We want to see slide outs in please.
Can I ask a question. I know it is 21ft long but what is the width of the trailer. Been looking for that information but can't find. Thank you 🙏!
Great question! The width of all the Imagine floor plans are 8’ or 96”
We hope this helps!!😀
@@WoodysRVWorldOfficial Great 👍. Thank you very much for the info. 🙂
Love, love it!!!!!!
Looking for something nice so I can spend 50% in Canada and the rest travelling the US.
I don’t see any outlets in the kitchen
Looks awesome wish I had the vichice to pull it...
Great review! Thank you!
To the presenter, your English is wonderful. I enjoyed your presentation.
why did this need to be 33min. long?
Can you order with generator?
So can the bed be pulled down with slide in?
Sandra Westley I wouldn’t have thought so, not enough space.
Could have done better with the sealant on the roof.
Never said how much. Everyone says how much. I’ll take the mini wini.
I agree. No one seems to want to talk about price -- what's the big secret? -- although one commenter said price new was around $36,000 in California and how they got a great used like new one for $22,000; they drove from California to Tennessee to get it and how it was worth the drive, saving money. I realize that the price will differ depending on what package and add-ons, but it would be nice to know a base price for none of the extra bells and whistles.
This man could sell a popsicle stick after it melted!!!!!!
That’s easy Lisa, everyone needs a little extra kindling to start the campfire!!….lol😂
Love the video. But I wish the vid was only like 15 minutes.
You left the lights on behind the bed
Kitchen next to the toilet: don't like it!🤺
Schwintek ...no thanks !
This is my favorite so far
20 min on the wheels and doesn't show the toilet?
The toilet was right by the wash hand basin to the right of the shower, he gives you a view into the bathroom and the loo was there.
Very nice but the prices are through the roof for Imagine RV's. I was looking at sites in CA and this one was actually more expensive than a Northwood Nash 23D, which is a true all season trailer and built like a house. It's also larger than this.
If you have to apologize for rambling....it's too late. I think I got it...it's the smallest they make! Oh, perfect...I turned off the volume and just watched the video.
Price ?
Great video. Really appreciate the thoroughness. Been comparing this with a few other models and really leaning towards this camper. Thanks again
Really poor design to have the propane furnace right underneath the refrigerator. Not smart at all.
I own a 2019 Grand Design Reflection 28bh 5th wheel and we really like it.
Is the slide out topper cover optional?
Yes, Grand Design doesn't install toppers on the lower price point trailers at the factory. It would be a dealer installed option. Apparently that is another Covid related shortage right now!
What happened to the bathroom.
It was there the wash hand basin and the large shower plus the toilet.
Great job on information regarding this product I am impressed .
What kind of refrigerator was that--gas , AC, and DC?
Are there any appliance plugs in the kitchen?
He talks WAY too much. Just skip to 18:05…
Is this wired for solar panels to add to the roof?
What is the AC BTU?
Yes, stated at start of review of trailer.
3:15
I really like this 21 foot RV trailer…
Half of this video explain a lot of the exterior,
No solar can't live off the grid
Great job on the video. Why not use azdel for the outer shell?
Screw retention is the biggest reason. Through GDRV’s rigorous testing they’ve determined that Azdel doesn’t give them the necessary screw retention for longterm structural integrity. GDRV uses a far superior exterior seal vs the old butyl putty sealant on most other products. Unless you use Azdel in all aspects of your exterior construction, eliminating all wood, you’re no better ahead especially if you have an inferior seal. GDRV ensures a superior seal than others ensuring longterm structural integrity. They also stuff their aluminum tubes with wood dowels to properly secure fasteners, and frame in their window openings with Aluminum tubes. Most products to neither which will lead to eventual moisture intrusion no matter the backer in the sidewalls. Hope this helps!!😀
Wow that guy just left the reading light on over the bed..then he put up the mattress...wouldn't that start a fire?
All the lights are LED's. No heat.
The dinette side windows are missing how odd
You did an amazing review!
Can an electric fireplace be added?
Love it except that bent Murphy bed...want a one piece Murphy mattress !!
Rockwood Mini Lite has a Murphy Bed that is a one piece mattress that does not fold. BUT....doing it that way really cuts into your front pass through space. Go check it out.
Will the bed still close with a thicker, heavier mattress? Thanks
Great question! The mattress does have a hinge point to allow it to fold up. With that said we have had customers add a foam mattress topper for added comfort that allowed it to still fold up. A regular mattress without a hinge point will not work. We hope this helps.
The Grand Design website has a Build & Price feature if you need to know the price.
As mentioned by someone else, the 2021 model has windows on 3 sides of the slide.
For the criticism of the shower door, I've had the same door on a Winnebago that we owned for 6 years, and it would be my preference because it simply works!
In response to some of the criticism of design and/or features, I've gone over mine with a fine tooth comb. The combination of well thought out design and build quality is quite possibly unmatched at this price point, and arguably even at double the price. Get out and look at one in person and decide for yourself!
Hate the checkered fabric...
I wanted to see the sunshade!
Must be nice to have $$$$
What is the dry WT.
Price?
Very Cool!
Nice trailer
How much?
