Bought this yesterday! We have been looking and researching for 18 months. What sold it for me was the view from the recliner, campsite view, rear view & TV straight across from you. So much storage…. Unbelievable! There is no wasted space. Will be picking it up in a week and already ordered my shower miser water saver to keep gray tank at a minimum. Ty for your reviews, they are very well detailed!
Whoa 😳😳😳 Glamping times 💯🔥🤔 Pizza Oven, Perfect Pantry, Camp side Dinette, 8cft fridge and theater seating! Beautiful camper and under 7k pounds empty!
Ok, here's Uncle Gary's wish list. These are by NO means complaints. As Josh knows, I'm in love with this model. It's more of a "These things would make an awesome trailer even more awesomer!" list. Electric stabilizer jacks (Or even auto level, but I have a feeling that if the Cougar 22mls is too small for them, well....). Slam latch cargo doors. Convection microwave. Morryde suspension. Slightly bigger bathroom sink. Clear windows in the doors, with shades. Of course, a lot of these things, I'd just do after purchase. Just thinking out loud. Lol. The two things that you mentioned as possible drawbacks, aren't for us. I'm 6"2 260 lbs, and a queen bed has always been fine for me. We like the walk through bathroom. It tends to allow for more square footage, and it's like having an en suite, as opposed to having to walk the length of the trailer at 2:00 a.m. (Damned prostate! 🤣) Another bonus I saw someone mention once: if you're a night owl, married to an early riser, you can close both those sliding doors, for some pretty decent soundproofing! If someone was really handy, it wouldn't be too hard to make some nice little wooden doors for those open cubbies in the bathroom (Actually, I think I saw a review of another brand of trailer that had the same little nooks, but WITH doors. Wish I could've kept this short, but, well, that wouldn't be me.. 😂 😂 😂 This is a gorgeous couples trailer, and Grand Design is a great brand. Definitely on my short list. Cheers! 🇨🇦
Actually I don't think your wants list is too out of line. TY Gary! Sorry it took me so long to get to this one! I'm sure you saw your comment posted at the start :)
This is absolutely the best arranged TT I have ever seen , t I love the walk through bathroom and kitchen, it’s all just perfect I could live full time in it, thanks so much for showing it ,
Ditch the oven and add a microwave/convection oven. Electric stabilizer jacks would be nice, upgrade the main entrance steps to door style steps. Replace door windows with clear glass. Love everything else.
💗 Someone was thinking! Absolutely love all the storage - The kichen & Bathroom sinks were NOT an afterthought as so often they are. This camper is in the running for sure!
That's the one. It's perfect. It has everything we are looking for and nothing we don't want. I would like a better bathroom vent fan and maybe more solar panels but other than that, this one is perfect.
Just did the paperwork on our unit yesterday. Apparently we were the 3rd family to buy this model at our dealership in the same day! Got a great deal as part of the Harrisburg PA RV Show. Can’t wait to take delivery after our tow vehicle gets outfitted 🎉. Love your videos
Hey Josh, yeah, you know me! LOL! Nice looking model here; 1st time I have ever seen or heard about this one.....will have to step up and see this one in person! Thank You Josh, for filming this model! ~Lou
@@JoshtheRVNerd She loved it. We signed today and will be picking it up next week. An interesting thing, this was a second unit because the first one sold before we walked back to the bargaining table after the walk through. The dealer said that they cannot keep them in stock. I appreciate the insight video. You nailed it!
Brother Josh, I love the fact that you give an honest review, both the good and not so good, thank you. I really like the anesthetics of this camper. However after having a bad experience with rear kitchens, I would prefer it if they had reversed the kitchen and bed/bath rooms. And yes, I know I am in the minority.
I’m not a rear kitchen fan either, just wonder if anyone has experience with the refrigerator in the slide out? I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and use every bit of my cupboard space. This is a nice trailer and 1/2 ton towable a plus.
We currently own a Micro Minnie FLX 2108DS. Bought it as our very first RV for our new life of living full time as RVers. We are finding it's a wonderful rig, but just a BIT too small. We have our minds on the Grand Design and this rig video review came to us. We think this might be just the perfect set up for our full time life as a couple. I think it will be great to see something like this in person, first hand to review further. 🤩
This is a really practical floorplan and it works for all the reasons you identified. Only criticism I would make is the microwave is a little too high for a short person like me, but that's the case for many trailers.
Josh I watch your videos several times a day. You provide an outstanding service to us RV buyers. I only wish I lived close enough to you to buy at your dealership.
I really still appreciate the rear kitchen in 5he Cougar 22MLS , al5hough this Imagine is very well designed and And also an Excellent Layout/Floorplan 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Uncle Josh………I agree. They “nailed it” on this one. It is indeed awesome. While our needs are a bit different, this one has a great floor plan. This is a viable option over a fifth wheel travel trailer for those not interested ( like me ) in acquiring a larger tow vehicle. Very nice Josh!!!!
Love seeing this review. We just purchased a 2022 23LDE last week. We LOVE IT! We really wanted a campsite dinette. The kitchen is large and well equipped. Love the 12v fridge. Can’t wait to try it boondocking. We won’t get to camp until the spring, but it makes a great new driveway getaway! The dog loves the sofa/recliners. Thanks for your videos!
The Transcend 231rk is practically the same floorplan from Grand Design and is amazing! Trade off being a “stick & tin” but you get full rack & pinion slide with the same amazing kitchen.
We have this in a 2022 model. A few minor things. The heat, massage, and light buttons on the recliners turn on when you don’t want them too. You can get aftermarket covers. It is a pain when you get up to get a beverage and come back to a hot seat! The other problem is the thermostat. With the slide in, you cannot access it or read it. We find that getting the trailer ready for a summer trip, we want to turn on the AC for comfort but don’t need the slide out. It would be better if the thermostat was over the dinette or elsewhere. We had to replace the AC breaker on day 1 and had to help the slide in once but everything has been great!
I have a Sol Horizon by Intech that I LOVE, but I'll tell you that if we ever decide to go bigger, this one is definitely high on the list! If we did go bigger, we don't want to go TOO big. I like having a smaller rig. But this floorplan is perfect! Separate bedroom, sleeping for a 3rd person, plenty of room for adults and animals to move around, I don't think you'd feel cramped in here on a rainy day... and I personally love the walk through bathroom! I'd love to try one of these for a weekend to see how it compares to my Sol!
We have a GD 2600RB and LOVE it! That sliding under bed storage box is in our house basement. I purchased some plastic totes that fit perfectly in the compartment and hey are more practical. We have way more storage than 2 people need. I can't believe how costly these travel trailers have become (and cars too for that matter). We paid under $30,000 for our 2021 model in the fall of 2020.
Thanks for the warning about the light action for aggressively folding the laundry -- listening to this while at work and had fun trying to explain why I was laughing so loud!
So glad you got around to this one, thought for sure it would make your last list of best couple's trailers but sure it will for 2023. Love this unit & was first time my wife immediately said 'yep' after incessantly pestering her with touring different rv's LOL. Thanks again for another fantastic review Josh!
I only include units in my lists I've personally had a chance to put hands on. I simply hadnt YET had a chance to get to this one. I'm sure she'll be on the 2023 list :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd I found it! I rewatched the section that covers the AIM.. but must ask, the new Solo series from Keystone, any chance you will hit those?
I am a Grand Design Fan!! Very well made campers. I've got a Reflection 260RD which is a 5th wheel 150 series. My previous camper was a 26" travel trailer that had a rear kitchen and I wouldn't recommend a rear kitchen, nor would I go with one again. The bumpiest ride of the trailer is the rear and if you have cupboard full of pots, pans, cans of food, etc. and you hit a few bumps - yikes. It's not pretty. Just something to consider. My stove top popped off the oven on occasion. We learned the bad spots on our journey - the hard way. Dishes, pots and pans ended up dented, scratched and sometimes broken. I highly recommend not having the kitchen in the rear. But I will admit, it can be appealing as far as the floor plan goes. If you have nothing but smooth roads - go for it!
The problem here is that you seem to have 'free range' dishes. We have clear plastic storage bins we tuck all the food, can goods, cereal etc. in them. Nothing moved all the way from New England to Yellowstone. Under the sink we have camp pots stacked. Again nothing moved. We are, however, looking for a bigger RV since we've outgrown our little Winnebago Minnie. No way I would put up with the inconvenience of a walk through to the bedroom bathroom. Whomever designed that has never been camping.
This is great! Only option I'd love to see is having a slightly bigger entertainment setup instead of dinette! Or, somehow incorporate at least a 40 in size tv and access to a sound bar location possibly!
Love this unit! The only thing missing in this RV is my but on the theater seat! 😂🤣😂 I normally would pass on the walk through bath but it works for this model. This has the same GVWR as my Transcend 200MK so I absolutely agree with you on the 1/2 ton truck with a max tow package for pulling and stopping. Another Grand Design from Grand Design. Thanks Uncle Josh.
This RV has an amazing floorplan! You know how I prefer Murphy Beds, but this floorplan allows for so much room to move around in. Great design. Take care, Josh!
Another beauty! I love the passthrough bathroom, so convenient to close the bedroom door for company. I'm not sure why they put bed in front where the action is????? (I mean the action outside 😃.) But I'd still love it if no slides (I don't trust in torrential Florida rains). Thank you, Josh! 😻
Thanks for reviewing this trailer. I wish they had extended the cabinets over the dinette to the rear door and it needs more secure steps on the rear door. I would also like to see them add the newer style of stabilizing jacks.
Entrance door glass should definitely be clear... who wants a surprise when answering the door ! Pull up privacy shade would then be a necessity. EXCELLENT EXCELLENT FLOOR PLAN including two entrance doors, farm sink, and rectangular shower. You should include the price range like MSRP and possible discounts. Really NICE UNIT.👍
Ty for watching. Regarding pricing: it is not possible to include any figure that *remains* accurate over the life span of these videos. I used to do that. Even if I said “this will change over time” people would come in saying they saw it for less in our video and accuse us of bait and switch tactics So the best I can do is offer a link to our website in the description and indicate it within the video where you can see that information on anything in stock at your own pace without needing calling anyone
I love how you display the open cabinets all at once, nothing worse than watching someone open each individual cabinet on a video...thank you
Thank you for sharing that feedback. If there’s anything I can do to improve, then definitely let me know that as well.

Btw - if my videos were helpful to you, then would you mind dropping me a note at g.page/r/CdPcitNVx2nDEAg/review in return for the helpign hand?
What are the interior walls like? Are they solid or flimsy.
@@MyGirlKenzie they are solid, I haven’t looked at a Grand design that is flimsy!
@@rebeldawg6371 thank you! I am looking for something full time. And appreciate the feedback.
"Aggressively folding laundry"...my husband will get right after that, my first laugh of the day😂
Hands down, the absolute best floorplan. Too many reasons to mention. You can't improve on perfection. Good show !

That makes my top five now I have to look at this one closer thank you
That is a nice back kitchen and yes same Josh ... I don't like the open bins in the bathroom. I was making doors in my mind as you showed them lol
I love this! Downsides for me is that cupboard on the left countertop really cuts down on the countertop space and the walk through bath.
You know Josh, I have 2 kids and 2 dogs but I still! Watch your couples videos. Keep up the good work sir!
THANK YOU for tuning in! :)
That's the one. It's perfect. It has everything we are looking for and nothing we don't want.
I would like a better bathroom vent fan and maybe more solar panels but other than that, this one is perfect.
Fan/Solar should be quite reasonable upfits as well thankfully
Thanks for the review! My friends bought one of these for their first RV. I think it is the Perfect first timer couples RV.
It's a fantastic model. They did so well for it being their first!
Lot of people see this as the LAST one they want by contrast!
Wow they did bring it on this floor plan. The best one I've ever seen for this size. Love it,so well thought out
I think moving that fridge to the slide really makes the difference on this one
Just did the paperwork on our unit yesterday. Apparently we were the 3rd family to buy this model at our dealership in the same day! Got a great deal as part of the Harrisburg PA RV Show. Can’t wait to take delivery after our tow vehicle gets outfitted 🎉. Love your videos
Not a surprise. It’s a hugely popular model
They brought it with the layout! Interior is gorgeous!
P.S. I'm a fan of walk-through bathrooms, no wasted hallway space and the bathroom can be bigger.
Great floor plan.
I love the storage and the campside windows!
We bought this floor plan last years model and it’s been fantastic. We love it!

Another beauty! I love the passthrough bathroom, so convenient to close the bedroom door for company. I'm not sure why they put bed in front where the action is????? (I mean the action outside 😃.) But I'd still love it if no slides (I don't trust in torrential Florida rains). Thank you, Josh! 😻
Ahhh this is one of my very favorite towable rigs. I love everything about it! 💕
This is my favorite
Seems like its' super popular
Great presentation Josh , this is a complete unit .
Ty
Thanks for reviewing this trailer. I wish they had extended the cabinets over the dinette to the rear door and it needs more secure steps on the rear door. I would also like to see them add the newer style of stabilizing jacks.
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for the video! This one is really high (if not top!) of my list for when we get a truck and can travel more!!!
Great pick!
Fireplace would be nice.
Hmm.. where though?
Across from the recliners.
Entrance door glass should definitely be clear... who wants a surprise when answering the door !
Pull up privacy shade would then be a necessity.
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT
FLOOR PLAN including two entrance doors, farm sink, and rectangular shower.
You should include the price range like MSRP and possible discounts.
Really NICE UNIT.👍
Ty for watching. Regarding pricing: it is not possible to include any figure that *remains* accurate over the life span of these videos. I used to do that. Even if I said “this will change over time” people would come in saying they saw it for less in our video and accuse us of bait and switch tactics
So the best I can do is offer a link to our website in the description and indicate it within the video where you can see that information on anything in stock at your own pace without needing calling anyone
