Grand Design XLS 23LDE inside

[@Chrissers2010]

We just bought a 2024 XLS 23LDE yesterday on year end sale. We are so excited.

OKI think I just found my RV that I would love to purchase. I just looked at the rest of the XLE models and this one definitely takes the cake. We are looking to downsize majorly so this Is floor plan would be perfect for us👍🏻👍🏻

Good choice! You will not regret this RV.

Thank you for sharing. Cool video. May I ask, do you use a light duty truck or heavy duty to tow?

[@Lake2Lake]

I have upgraded my truck to a RAM 3500. I found the F-150 did not have enough capacity.

[@Axeltiguere1976]

Really? Definitely great to know. A F150 is what i have, and that is the type of trailer I’ve set my eye on. Thank you for taking the time to reply and sharing that info 👍🏽👍🏽💪🏽💪🏽

@@Lake2Lake I liked the video, thanks for posting. Did your F150 have the advanced towing package? I ask because mine does which puts the GCWR at 19,400.

[@Lake2Lake]

Mine F150 did have the tow package. Normal towing it did OK. I was more concerned about downhill in the mountains so we upgraded to a RAM 3500

[@paulg9042]

@@Lake2Lake Ah, thanks. My truck has GCWR of 19400 and based on all the calculations for towing weight, payload, etc. I figured this camper should have been fine with the F150, especially with the lower tongue weight. But, I can see some of the concerns if you are going down very steep mountains.

Good job!! I think you missed the storage under the bed

[@Lake2Lake]

You're right! I guess I forgot to mention the bed storage :(

Ever consider a dimmer for the lights? The 2024 model has lights that dim, but the 2022 does not. I was told that it can’t be done on the 2022 model but I did it anyway. If you are interested in adding a dimmer, let me know. I put a PDF together detailing the parts needed and instructions on how to install the dimmer. Maybe you can install it and make a video of it. There are a lot of people with the 2022 LDE that would like a Dimmer.

[@Lake2Lake]

That is a great idea!! I see about making a video installing a dimmer !! thanks

Grand design stinks due to the frame and as easy as it brakes

[@Lake2Lake]

Thanks for the heads up !! I've not experienced any frame or brake issues.
