We had a keystone avalanche that had 6 slides. That trailer was massive. We sold it this year as we have decided to give up camping. We never full timed but we had a seasonal site but we were just ready to be done with this part of our lives, just celebrated 50 years of marriage.

RVing and especially huge RVs are not a fit for everybody. We couldn't stand large RVs when we started. We've had lots of different size RVs and it has taken us years to fine tune what's a good fit for us. The toughest part is our needs are constantly changing from year to year based on our kids and what we enjoy doing. There's no wrong way to do it if you are living your journey. Thanks for sharing!

Its SO amazing to see this process, and you have brought in SO many amazing innovations. The one thing, for my husband and I, would be sidetables next to the bed. As we have been shopping for a rig of our own, the persistant question has been "WHERE ARE THE SIDE TABLES?!" It's our biggest pet-peeve"

The BATHTUB a is THE BEST!! I actually designed a 5th wheel that another manufacturer put in their 2025 lineup…the only thing it’s lacking is a bathtub and ai can’t convince my hubs that for me it’s a non negotiable!

You need a 3rd axle to up the payload to be able to handle all of the stuff you are going to put on that big pullout storage tray. I bet when your prototype is finished you will be lucky to have 1500lbs of payload which isn’t much for fulltimers.

We did go back and forth on the number of axles. This is still proto, then in the final build we will make the call - we completely know how important CCC is, especially as full timers

Congratulations on being a voice of the people in this build. There was a time my father built my mom a new house about 5 yrs. and she always said that there is no perfect 'forever' house design because your life is continually changing especially with a growing family. At this time, you will have the opportunity to explore further what best suits your growing family. Enjoy and THANK YOU for sharing your journey.

One of the things we didn't finish up to show is a hamper that can be accessed from the bathroom or the bedroom. We can look into whether or not the hamper would fit if we cut the corner, but that's a great idea if all else fails!

The mop and broom closet is genius. I actually surprised no one has done that before because they are ALWAYS in the way. As far as bathtubs go I had a 197? Apollo motor home that had a shallow bathtub in it. I never used it much but it definitely had a tub. It's funny how what is old is new because I've never seen another one until yours. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

Yeah, we are surprised more manufacturers don't go for the tubs. I think the rise of endless hot water heaters has definitely helped increase the usage of a tub in an RV.

We took the sliding glass tub doors off and put the articulating show curtain rod that can be moved in or out to make the bathroom bigger or the bathtub/ shower bigger. We love it. Can't wait to see what your new RV looks like when finalized. Safe travels

I absolutely love Winnebago products. I own one. We maybe would go back into a fifth wheel? But can we discuss the elephant in the room, which y’all know is the Frame Flex issue? What are they doing with Lippert to fix this? These units are heavy and we are told they were never meant to live in “Full Time.” Clearly Winnebago/Grand Design knows people (including yourselves) are living in them. So as a long time RV’ers, can you just sit down at a picnic bench and talk to the community and tell us what’s changed? Thank You and I know the kids will be so excited!

Don’t let them install any flex Line , especially with pex clamps . If getting slide toppers installed , make sure wall side mount is high enough to allow the water to shed vs pooling . Mine were mounted too low from the factory .Before sub floor goes in , hope you made sure no wires are pinched between frame and tank hanging flanges . Had 2 pinched in my 23 solitude 310gk .

So Nathan, when are you going to show the "guts" of the unit. Love the overall design, but I also would love to see how they did the plumbing. Are there catch trays under the nautilus panel, water heater, and other areas that could have major leaks. I saw some electronic dimmers (I think) and are they going to be reliable enough vs just a slide dimmer. Do the slides have a manual operator as well as hydraulics. And of course did the designers (from GD) also make components like the water heater and other areas "serviceable" ? I so appreciate what you two have done for just my families RV experience. I think the unit you are coming up with could be our next unit. Right now we've just became empty nesters so it's just the two of us. But, we're figuring in the next 6-10 years we'll maybe have some grand kiddos that we can take with us on our adventures. I'm afraid to show this video to the wifey because if she see's the unit you showed in the field (the unreleased one) and she see's the windows, we'll be finding that model and trading in our 1 1/2 year old 5th wheel for that one as my wife would take 360 degrees of windows if she could find them. This comes from our first trailer, a Coleman Pop-up which had a 360 view. Thanks again and keep on doin what your doin because you and your family are making a huge difference. Additional questions - Showed the wifey and she loves the windows as much as you do. So more questions. How does the icebox open in the tighter space and also we didn't see a lot of pantry space. And another thing I've seen is that the manufacturers tend to put a vent-a-hood that only recirculates the smoke/fumes from the stove back into the kitchen. Does your design allow for air flow to be sent "out" of the trailer. Thanks again!

We've got a few ideas on the pantry space. However, the prep space is definitely not as much as some layouts though. We had to sacrifice some of that for other things we prioritized. It's so tough to design in a small space! There's no way to compete with those rear kitchen layouts if someone wants epic storage and cooking space.

I didn't even think about doing a first prototype so that you can see how things look "in reality" to see what tweaks you need to make (like the bathroom faucets) for your actual "live in" prototype. But very smart, whoever had that idea. It's looking good. I really want to hear your thoughts on the kitchen counter layout--why the U-shape as opposed to an island, etc. Looks like it would make the kitchen feel more confined, have to walk out around if you want to get to the living area, etc. What are the benefits?

Making it an island would affect the L shaped couch
@LessJunkMoreJourney
@LessJunkMoreJourney 2 ай бұрын
Yeah, we like the solid Ushape as a backer for the LCouch. We debated making an island with a flip up counter that flips toward the pantry on the wall to get a bit of both worlds, but ultimately stuck with the solid U-Shape. In our current layout the Island is nice, but we don't feel like making it a U-shape would make it too much less usable. We also have a surprise coming for the corner of the U-Shape that makes good use of the abyss in the back corner.

It could be, for those who are able to add on more solar panels and batteries - but out of the gate, we wanted to keep the cooking option similar to what we're all used to.

After having owned an L shaped sofa, I have to recommend "Don't" do it.". The people near the corner will be knocking knees, there are no arm rests except on the ends. Theater seating or 2 separate love seats would be better IMO.

No, all RV's are typically to be under the 13'6" - as an industry standard. But always measure just in case! (don't forget to include your AC units too when measuring)

Hopefully the prototype will help work out the kinks. Hubby was concerned that with bigger windows, the structural strength will be compromised when traveling. Did you chat with my Amish Yoder/Miller cousins? They are from Nappanee, Goshen, to Shipshewana and all around. My hometown is Goshen. Glad you support their income. God bless you, always, Karen Yoder English.

I look forward to seeing the finished layout as it looks f great so far. I do have a genuine question regarding the TV wall and the bottom kitchen cabinet wall, why brown? Consumers have fought manufacturers for years to get rid of brown in RVs so why bring it back? Dark grey, light grey, navy, sage green are some neutral choices. Will there be interior color options when the LJMJ RV is ready for production? Again, this isn't a criticism, I would genuinely love to know decorators input on the brown color choice.

I think you mean the tambourine accent wall and on the island? It's very trendy and I personally love the texture and warmth it brings the space while allowing the brightness to come in on the walls and cabinets. It’s a personal preference, but it is a very modern way to bring in slight accents. Thank you so much for asking the question. 😊

It's absolutely beautiful, and perfect for you in your season of life. I'm so happy for you! ENJOY it! However, it is totally not for me. I'm a 25 foot (or less) B+ kind of person. I'd be much happier in the Lineage. That's why there are so many types of RVs, because everyone is different and has different needs.
