Cleaning out our camper - S-08 Ep-08

So I’m really interested to know how your Grand Design held up to constant living and being used daily. Mine is a 21 MLE 22 that will probably never see 1/8 of the use in my entire ownership as yall have in 1/2 year simply because I’m tied to my sticks and bricks and a barely tolerable shift job. Just happened across your channel but I’m glad I did. I envy your ability to be able to live that life, and at the same time realizing it’s not always rainbows and unicorns. Love seeing real people simply living and not just existing. Praying I reach that pinnacle one day. God bless.

@sean2148, thanks for reaching out and welcome to our channel! Our channel focuses on places to explore and the true struggles along the way. Our 2019 Grand Design 21 BHE held up great over the 2 years of travel around the US. We had a few maintenance items we had to take care of along the way like tires, new toilet seals, patching the roof, new propane change over valve with pig tales and new mother board for the water heater. The only major issue we had was losing our brakes while traveling the East coast. It turned out the brake wire was routed between the frame and flooring and got pinched off. After a new trailer brake controller on the truck, trailer plug to the junction box and all new wire down to the axels and between them we finally fixed that issue. We've been very happy with our Grand Design and taken it a lot of places off the beaten path. It's been modified quite a bit for boondocking and full time travel to fit our needs. Here's a few things we added: 800watts BougeRV solar system, 1,000watt GO POWER pure sine wave inverter, 500 watt pure sine wave inverter, 2 100ah LifeP04 batteries in a new box up front, generator rack on the back with a 4,500watt champion generator, Starlink and we removed the bunks to convert it to office space. This is our second camper and we love it way more than our 17ft Keystone Hideout we owned prior. I hope you get to experience full time travel some day it's a scarry, difficult journey to start but a ton of fun exploring this great country and creating new memories and meeting new friends along the way.
