ONLY 26ft & Gorgeous New Premium Couple's RV! 2025 Imagine 2300MK Travel Trailer by Grand Design RV

[@victoriaglass7584]

Josh you have found the perfect model for me!!! I can tow this with my Suburban. Privacy for the bedroom with no head banging cabinets. A roomy bathroom with a good size shower. A spacious kitchen (more than 1 butt). It’s awesome! Love you and all your videos .

[@loneapple440]

We like the model also.

[@michaelligue3842]

Road mode is always a bonus feature , thanks Josh .

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You bet!

[@Erin-Thor]

You had me at it having an entry window blind that is mounted upside down so you can see out while making it harder for others to see in! 👍🏽👍🏼 Almost everything about this is perfection! 💛

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Interestingly, it’s literally feedback like yours on my videos that helped make that change across the entire in industry since they share one supplier where the shade is installed

[@Erin-Thor]

@ - Now if we could just get Ember to build a bigger box. 😊 Limiting customers to 20 pound propane tanks is one of my deal killers. The other is showers with 24” or less on any side.

[@bjwieland-doucet5917]

Really nice compact rig. As usual, lacks the hanging clothes closet space I need, buuut I see a place where I could add a clothes rack next to the bed on the non door side. LOVE the trash can idea. 👏👏 Great bathroom. The pots & pans drawer is a trick idea. 👍 Where I live in GA, this could be a 4 season rig. Thanks Josh! ✌️🫶⭐️

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Glad you like it! :)

[@rmccabe117]

Lots of cool ideas done well! The trash can is pretty fantastic too! Outdoor kitchen and we would be very interested in seeing one. Lighting options are getting pretty nifty although I would be fine with less LED light strips lighting on the outsides! Also, the power of KZbin videos! All they have to do now when they consider new ideas is to read comments on these videos! These videos and others that provide good RV content have really changed so much in the world of RV's. Thanks for helping to show us the way to make change!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

My pleasure! This was a fun one to go thru

[@stevez340]

It is such a breath of fresh air to see a manufacturer giving customers a comfortable seating “option” for the long in the tooth diner booth dinette👍👍👍

[@patricialstamp3774]

I love the surprise sliding drawers in the cabinets and all the counter space! I am especially impressed because there's a drawer in the bathroom!!! I really like the outdoor garbage can! Everything is perfect on this travel trailer. I wish you could at least give some kind of price!😊❤

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I wish KZbin worked like Amazon and allows us to display pricing on Individual items but that’s why we leave you a link to our website with all that info

[@christopherwarsh]

Thank you bro for always putting the layout in the beginning of the video!! It lets me know straight away if a camper is worth my time. One of my biggest icks is a “walk through bathroom”.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You bet. I don’t want to waste a viewer’s time!

[@jkyle01]

First impression: I really like the look. I DO love the 3 seater couch (will there be a hide a bed option..for Tagalong Tina?) but the omission of a pantry could be a problem for some. I DO like my 22rb pantry, but I think I could make this work, especially how it opens the camper up, taking away that big structure. I hope Jayco is paying attention. THIS is exactly how I 'imagine' I'd one day modify my 22rb...the TV/panty removed and a dining bar in its place. PLUS another campsite window! LOOOOOVE 'inside/outside' trash can! Handy is an understatement AND it is in the perfect spot. When you're outside it's right where you need it. AMAZING fuse box location...no need to get this old bod down onto floor level! Just open the door and lean in! Love seeing my mind's eye brought to life, right here in your video. AND...no useless, bathroom double sink!!🥳 Thanks Josh.

[@tinaprice4948]

Yep I agree! :D

[@malewine]

I would have to agree with everything you said here, except with those huge pull outs underneath the bar, I'm good without a pantry.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Pretty sure you can get a sleeper sofa, but would want our team to verify

[@jkyle01]

@@malewine I love my pantry closet for broom storage, large trays and hanging a hoodie. But overall, the drawers did surprisingly, look to be able to hold a lot of food items.

[@malewine]

@jkyle01 that makes sense, I'm so used to having to hang that stuff on a door right now, that never even crossed my mind.

[@crazydoglady5]

I love this. One thing missing..doors in the bathroom. Love the kitchen and a good ole couch. I even like the lights on the ceiling in the kitchen. the dimmer feature is great. I am a EAT AT THE BAR kinda person. SLATE sink in bathroom

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thank you for watching!

[@wwndisguiseoklahoma6887]

Oh...I like this one a lot!!! Going on the final list! The bathroom is amazing!!! The full queen and the dining bar instead of the booth. Travel mode a little challenging, but not a deal breaker. Imagine has been so impressive. Thx Josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Glad to hear it's making the list!

[@eringraves8027]

I like the warm light option. Neat! This is nice! Good updates, and I love the fuses right by the bedroom door. Also, the flooring is interesting, looks like large tiles instead of wood planking. Anyway, thanks Josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

yep! That's the goal for the look of the flooring

[@BassFever4Ever]

Honestly, I would give this model an A for road mode. The second door for the bedroom gives it the A. You can even access the fridge. I'm saving this vid for future use. Thanks for sharing this review!

[@linkfloyd4908]

I'm very impressed with what GD has done for improvements. Josh, not sure if you touched on this, but that upgraded equalizer on the suspension is awesome. But again... GD still doesn't seem to understand that moving down in their segments doesn't have to mean downgraded content. Ember does understand this.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah imagines updates seem nicely on point

[@oldengineer1519]

I agree they don't understand that many features should be on all levels of trailers. In particular since the Imagine line doesn't cover the smaller trailer sizes many of us prefer so end up with the XLS line. As an aside before we picked up our 22MLE we had the dealer install the CRE3000 equalizer and wet bolts. It would have been nice to have those from the factory.

[@linkfloyd4908]

​@@oldengineer1519 I've been planning on handing suspension upgrades myself. Do you mind if I ask what the dealer charged to install?

[@oldengineer1519]

@@linkfloyd4908 I don't recall exactly as we had other work done at the same time but my recollection is it was around $500 - $600 which included parts and labor.

[@zackhayes1052]

Thanks Josh! Love this trailer. Only thing I'd change is the countertop extension with the dining bar over being next to the sink. Or just have two.

[@dh2970]

This is the size trailer we prefer and this is an impressive layout. I appreciate the solid surface countertops. One nitpick - I do prefer having a rear bumper.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Bumper is nice Hitch is very multifunctional as well

[@malewine]

First impression...I'm thoroughly impressed. I also gravitate to the dining bars and pretty much anything that gets away from the traditional booth. Booths are not friendly to fluffy dad bods.

[@jeffreytull5767]

First impression... Love it. And my lab who sleeps on the sofa rather than the bed absolutely approves!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Whatever is best for the dog, right? :)

[@bobr7867]

We’ve essentially turned our Imagine 2400BH bunkhouse into this model… we removed the bunks, replaced the dinette with recliners and small sofa table. The bunk area is now a quasi-office/workstation area. This 2300MK is exactly what we would like for our next trailer. A little smaller, yet more roomy. Only wish list items: Outdoor griddle/cook station, and more solar. We love to boondock but can add the solar we want as we did with our current Imagine. And this model has more cargo capacity than our trailer. What slide system is Grand Design now using? We have the Schwintek and we cross our fingers every time we extend or retract the slide 🤦🏻‍♂️ Great review Josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Sounds like a really awesome set up This is the slim rack system on this model, but different grand design models use different systems

[@jmcg6160]

Like that it does NOT have a stone seeking front window above the bed! Love the garbage can setup.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah imagine has never done windshields

[@tinaprice4948]

love the brightness, it feels spacious!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It's so nice!

[@musicalatv]

This is exactly the layout that I kept imagining, a little dining bar that's part of the kitchen prep space with simulated Cinema seat and a large bathroom!!!! Now we need a less ritzy glizzy and more base model version of this layout! One that's more budget-friendly.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Here’s a more basic version: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIanZIaif85nZ8k

[@musicalatv]

@JoshtheRVNerd that one has a much smaller bathroom, but I do see how most of the rest of it is pretty similar.

[@elycejennings2090]

The dining bar doesn’t look like you could sit two children there never mind two adults. I would miss the fire place. In four years I think we have turned the TV on twice.

[@musicalatv]

​@@elycejennings2090 I probably wouldn't use the dining bar as a dining bar. We usually eat sitting on the couch anyway. If we had this rv, the dining bar would probably just be used for laptop and extended countertop space for prepping food etc.

[@elycejennings2090]

⁠@@musicalatvI agree. We have GD Imagine 2500RK so we used to eating with a plate in our laps. We would most likely use the table and stools if the table isn’t as HEAVY as our current table which we never use.

FWIW the transition to the new editor has been seamless. I assume he's editing? The information and entertainment are well balanced.

I love this camper layout.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It seems to be a popular one

[@ewl011]

This unit Is wonderful, from the dining bar, the spacious bedroom , head height, and the huge bathroom. A back splash for those of us who insist on cooking would be nice. Nothing fancy, just something that is easy to clean.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah a backsplash would be nice, it’s surprising they didn’t go with that on a premium unit.

[@Patricksmancave]

Like the new look! The L kitchen is so good! Like the storage. The back bathroom is good. The bedroom is good. I wish in the bedroom it had a closet slide out. Overall the interior looks more higher end this year. Thxs.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I agree. They look really sharp.

[@GaryBrownrigg]

VERY good move switching to solid surface countertops. I'd still have to take a peek at the plumbing, but impressive so far! It's a shame about the travel access, but that isn't a factor for everybody. Good unit, all in all! #Nerdherd! 🇨🇦

[@alelizondo2423]

We're looking for a new RV, and this one has a lot to like, with features that are normally in a trailer 30+ feet long. The minimal pantry could be a bit of a problem, and maybe it's me, but, I absolutely hate RVs that only have cheap 32" TVs in them. It really makes me want to look at other models that have 40" TVs. When it's raining, or too hot, we're inside, and a 32" TV from almost 8' away is not a pleasure to watch. Thanks for all your hard work, Josh!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

The pantry is definitely a sticking point. My two cents? I can store stuff elsewhere. I can only prep on a counter. And too many rvs have no counter space while this one has HUGE counter space

[@tumbleweed1976]

Thank you Cousin Garrett for the bathroom sink data 🎈

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

[@jamesharding8197]

This looks like the most promising rv my wife and I seen. It literally checks off all blocks minus outdoor grill station. Finally glad to see it liek this yet to see a dinette that was comfortable and convient except for board game on a rainy day useless.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

They do include a grill hookup so you can actually bring along a good one

[@RobertMurray-b1e]

This smacks a lot of the 2150rb which was a very desirable floor plan!! I had one and loved it!! It was still just a bit bigger and heavier than I wanted, which was the only reason I traded. This is a beautiful trailer and if I decide to go back bigger, this would be in the running!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah, I think they combined a couple different ideas into this and it really came together nice

I dont care for slides but that kitchen makes it worth it. Great floorplan is my first opinion. Only hiccup I'd have was if I was at a unconventional travel stop, having to go outside and over to the other door to get to the potty in the middle of the night would be disconcerting.

[@ShawnPatterson402]

now this is a wonderful couples trailer. Separate bedroom. Less than 27 feet long. Love the bar stool/counter combo. If we could only get such a thing with a good old fashioned gas/electric fridge it would be perfect. Sadly I am still not sold on these 12v fridges....fine if you are always at an electric site, but if you are off grid that 200watts of solar will barely keep the fridge going for 24 hours, let alone have any juice left for anything else....and that is assuming you are lucky enough to have sunshine, and not have your rig parked in the shade. A cloudy day and you end up with warm beer. Great review of a great floorplan though. thanks Josh.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I did some looking the other day 2-way fridges have almost vanished at this point in the main market segment

[@sssophiesmom]

Invest in lithium batteries and a small genny. I actually love my 12v fridge. Wasn't sure if I would or not.

[@ShawnPatterson402]

@@sssophiesmom yes we have made the move to lithium recently. I now have 200 amphours of those on board. Our previous trailer did have a 10.7 cubic foot 12v fridge in it (2018-2021 we had that). It was good for even temp and nice for storage, but both of us were happy to see it go. Mind you I think some of the latest ones are more efficient (ie burning through less power) that ours was. Looks like if we ever change our rig again we won't have a choice, as the old two way fridges are nearly impossible to find any more. We do have the F150 with the Powerboost which has the 7.2kwh built in generator, so this does offer excellent back up if/when necessary, so we can definitely survive off grid with a 12v if we have to. Glad to hear the 12v is working out for you. Safe and happy camping....

[@facilitiesmaintenancebyarne]

Well, since you asked for 1st impressions 4 minutes in: The layout and floor-plan is outstanding. Love it. The mor-ryde suspension and GY tyres are great. I'm curious though, as you start exploring the unit, whether or not the bones hold up - type of slide mechanism; type of plumbing (PLEASE let it not be red & blue coloured flexible tubing crimped to PEX fittings); solid surface counter tops; actual wood cabinetry, etc. Okay, releasing "pause" to watch the rest of the video. Appreciate what you do, Josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Slim Rack Slide System (They no longer use schwintek) btw. I dont know if I share that in the vid

[@alanaalexander9126]

Hi Josh! Been glad to see washer an dryer hook ups being added to more RV's...As a full timer..I am going to strongly advocate for something else to be updated... Ventilation in the Cabinets! In the wintertime the interior walls inside the cabinets literally drip condensation and its NASTY! We need some ventilation for these cabinates to allow air exchange..allowing the dehumidifiers to be more effective and natural air flow to help too...not talking door-less cabinetes..but maybe some hidden ventilation holes of some kind.

[@maxhicksarmor21]

Hey Josh, I really like what grand design is doing with these imagines. Like you said it’s the massive kitchen space which is something I know my wife will enjoy. And I like the little bar that you cansit at and eat. I think those work out so much better than a dinette unless you have a bigger family. I do like the privacy shades in the doors. I think they should be mandatory on all RVs. The bedroom is really nice as it seems to be a little bigger than normal. I like that and the fact that there’s a door that shuts to make it private. Awesome! In the living room, I do like the pulldown couch/theater seats. The bathroom is totally awesome ,fantastic ,darn near perfect 👌. To me road boat is fantastic. If you’re on the road, you’re only getting into it for a short period of time before you takeoff again. So that doesn’t bother me. The rubber flooring in the breezeway is really cool. I enjoy it whenever they put those in there because all your crap that you put under there doesn’t shift as easy. As for the four seasons sticker, they do me a favor and send one up here to me here in Colorado and I’ll check it out for you just to make sure the stickers on the level lol😂. And as always, I always want the twin axles. In my personal opinion, I think they’re just a heck of a lot more stable and I would feel a lot safer. On the roof if possible I would definitely add some more solar panels. I don’t see myself really Boondocking a whole heck of a lot, but it would be nice to be able to charge the batteries a bit quicker. And you asked a question a couple RVs ago on whether we would pay extra for some of the better Upgrades. My answer is yes absolutely especially if they were going to be something that I could use all the time such as upgraded solar. Great video Josh. Always appreciate you buddy. Keep Rockin Josh 🤩✌️

[@oldengineer1519]

What do we think of it? We'd buy it. The TV's high viewing angle isn't that bad once you are reclined. I like the converter location as you don't have to scrunch down to access it. Just put in the stairs and work standing up from the door. I like the extra table for using outside. What I miss is the accent stripes on the cabinetry. To me it was one of the things that made GD trailers look a little more upscale. I have no problem with 2 door access for road mode. The fridge opens enough to get to food and the breakfast bar gives you someplace to sit and eat. Plus bathroom access. That covers the most common type of access for us. With that in mind having to use a second door on occasion to sleep isn't a big deal. In fact it is actually a safety advantage as you can leave the stairs put away when you access the bedroom adding to the "No one home " look. With the other stairs it is obvious someone is in the trailer as they have to stay out to access the trailer. I think this is very half ton towable for the right trucks. A 150/1500 series with 1200 - 1300 lbs of payload? No. A truck with 1500 - 1600 lbs of payload? Maybe. 1700 lbs or more? A qualified yes. I estimate the loaded tongue weight will probably be between 900 - 1000 lbs. 100 lbs for the hitch. 400 - 500 lbs for a couple and their stuff. At 26.5 ft it is about in the sweet spot for length with a 1/2 ton. These are better called extended season. They handle 20's at night and 40's or higher during the day well but much below those temps not so good.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

"We'd buy it" really is THE test I guess, isnt it?

[@oldengineer1519]

@@JoshtheRVNerd Yes it is. Actually to the point that my wife and I discussed maybe replacing our 2023 22MLE in 2026 with one. The dealer we bought the 22MLE from has one on the lot and we've also been looking for an excuse to make a trip out to the coast. Soooo it might be time for a road trip to check it out and see if it goes on our things to do next year. As an aside the weight stickers on the trailer on their lot show a cargo capacity of 1690 lbs and UVW of 6160 lbs. Still a decent cargo capacity and as expected a bit heavier than the published dry weight.

I’m learning a little bit more about this slide system, but I don’t believe this one likes it as much when you do that. If you need to do it here and there it’s OK, but you really want to make sure you fully open or close it after to let it go through an adjustment cycle

[@barbthompson2374]

Usually once I'm inside most people just tend to avoid the RV

[@Jesuslovesyou709]

I think they NAILED this one! Honestly i have no complaints! Thanks nerd! #RVnerdherd 😊

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

wow.. that's awesome to hear!

[@matthewb1973]

Just curious...does the trailer have an external connection for an outside grill?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I’m about 99% sure it does, but I would want one of our local team members to verify

[@CF542]

Has GD moved away from the heated massage sofas? My XLS has this but I just don’t see them in any of your review models anymore.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Lot of brands have. Likely cost driven though I can only speculate

[@Wags2525]

With the new anti sway, do you still need to get a stabilizer bar on the tow?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I still would yes

[@OldJailer]

Love the look and layout. I’d nix the exterior bedroom door and save some money on that. I will never have lighting or items that require a remote. Sender issues; receiver issues, parts/labor for replacements. Just give me a SIMPLE hardwired control where the remote is. Yay!!… one bathroom sink. Dumb question… why wouldn’t you have the batteries protected from weather and theft, and inside the storage area compartment? I realize batts need air but that’s a simple fix.

[@bobr7867]

The battery is no doubt a lead acid type and must be outside for venting purposes - and being lead acid it’s unlikely anyone would ever steal it 😅 Lithium on the other hand…

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I think they went away from the color-shift lighting btw. Just a switch

[@retiredafce3373]

Nice layout

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thanks! I thought so too.

[@craigwilliams1073]

Great Unit!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I agree!

[@donalexander4083]

good improvements

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah I think so too! Ty

[@chriscalvin5083]

Good video Josh

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Appreciate it!

[@mikekyle-y8i]

Nice, but falls short in some areas. No outside kitchen, could do without the dining bar and have a pantry instead. Other than pass through no outside storage. Keep doing the road mode! Did like the bathroom.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

No dining bar / with pantry was actually the original version of it ironically

[@RaaJra1992]

Josh, please put the Reflection 322FKTS on your review list. It is pretty slick!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It’s done and coming!!

[@RaaJra1992]

nice!! That may be our next unit, we walked thru one recently. Our 8 year old Imagine 2950 that we have had zero issues with is hard to get rid of tho.

[@lizlewark3688]

Love it!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I think it’s a really nice layout.

[@chrisbrennan2208]

Really like this floor plan. Is there an option for a sleeper sofa. Would like to see the 2670MK for 2025.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I'm not sure since that's a wider couch

[@samuelbranson6138]

Could a person buy replacement seals for the slide and replace them?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yep!

[@tammythompson4509]

Is this floor plan available in the Trancend line? I love stick and tin campers. (I have had both)

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I think they have one similar. I don’t recall the exact number

[@dawncole9258]

Very nice shorter camper. We like to keep below a certain length. Its not perfect but very nice. I truly wish they would give white or farmstyle white as an option. This color always looks cheap to me

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

perhaps try a Jay Feather 22RB. Similar layout but has that farmhouse look The jayco doesn't do the GIANT counter but trades the space for a HUGE pantry instead

[@FredRoeder-p2p]

Josh! Can you review a Rockstaff 26SRD ? Thank you

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I’ll watch for one

[@FredRoeder-p2p]

@JoshtheRVNerd Thank you sir!

[@SueSweat]

Why don’t manufacturers put grab bars in the bathrooms. Most of the surfaces they use won’t allow the suction cup type grab bars

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

great question..

[@thumperpaul]

The four seasons package is a misnomer. The walls, ceiling and floors have decent insulation, but single pane windows make that null and void for winter camping.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

RV Dual Pane windows add no significant insulation btw. That's a common misconception Biggest thing they really do is reduce noise. If you're looking for condensation control, then you should be running a dehumidifier or two
