This is what we got! 😍 We absolutely love our rig! Grand Design always maximizes the the space, so there’s a ton of storage!❤️🙌🏼

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It’s a great model. Nice choice for sure

[@EverythingRVbyPat]

OMG!!! Love that it has the booth!! Come and knock on my door... We've been waiting for you, Where the kisses are her's and her's and his three's company too... Grand Design has good quality stuff from what I've seen. I really like their stuff. But you are very correct in that it is too long and too heavy to be towing it at the bumper with a 1/2 ton. Definitely would want a 3/4 or better and a good quality, anti sway/weight distribution hitch for this one. Slide a bucket??? LOL... Front storage is great. Got to love the drop frame. Love that it has solar on top pre-installed. Overall, I think it's great. Your evaluation is spot on. Thanks for taking the time to showcase it. Pat

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY Pat!

[@Rgross27]

We own a 2021 Imagine 2970RL and LOVE it..... Grand Design is the BEST.. Love customer service when we needed them or had questions and we did have 2 recalls and they took real good care of us and our needs. Great Company.. The only difference I see so far from ours is the table. We have the floating chairs. Love this because of the camp side view. We wouldn't trade if for anything in the world and we researched a ton of RV's until we came across this one...

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Great to hear! After sale support is great to know

[@cccdlphipps]

YES!YES! YES! This checks all the boxes. I would option this with slide awnings and yes change out the fart fan. The sliding shelf under the bed I would take out. It would be a good place to store camp chairs, as I currently do.

[@6thwatergateplumber]

Here is an RV that finally looks like they got just about everything right from back to front. You can quibble on a couple of things maybe, but overall, this is one of the more acceptable floorplans I have seen in a while.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

no you're spot on. It's a few tiny "meh" things but overall.. holy cow. BIG hitter

[@Lsgriff]

Josh I have been waiting on this since last September when we ordered ours. We got ours with the table and chairs cuz it just seems more homey. Also got the second air in bedroom for beach camping at OBX in July. I’m so relieved that this unit gets your seal of approval and high marks. We fell in love with it the moment we stepped in it. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[@scottelwood8746]

Nice unit. It needs to find a spot next to the pool in a RV resort. Park it and forget it. Then take it south for the winter. Thanks

I feel similarly. Awesome seasonal model

[@vincentuglialoro8324]

What it’s missing which is marginally debatable is a washer dryer prep in the master bed closet. The VIBE has this option if you want to remove the shelving and put a portable washer and dryer. We are seriously considering this unit.

[@flagkennyrider]

Anyone have any idea if those hookups can be added? They have them in the almost exact 297rsts reflection so I'm wondering if it's already piped behind the wall in that closet.

[@ricks3184]

Friends just bought this floor plan but in a Sundance 293RL. Not sure how Grand Designs does it but their hitch weight is 200lbs less. Impressive.

[@leejennings3397]

Pantry needs a light strip, top to bottom, to light up all the shelves.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Love that idea

[@daronrose6409]

In my opinion, this is the best floor plan of any pull camper I have seen. I have yet to see anything that gives more function and space, and I love the 5th wheel feel without the stairs for these old knees! We bought a Keystone Passport 2870RL with a very similar layout but is about 1,000 pounds lighter, which we needed for our 1/2 ton. This is our second camper, and like a lot of people, we learned from our first one what we liked and what we didn't, and this fixed everything for us. I am glad to see you are keeping up with the great videos you do. There is always something to make us chuckle.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Was that 2870 dual slides or just one slide living? I cannot recall offhand

[@davep1271]

This is almost perfect for us. Wish it had fridge access in 'road mode'. But, the main deal breaker is no King bed option.

[@leonardnelson7596]

Hey Uncle Josh the Grand Design Imagine 2970 RL is on point. The inside is perfect, even though you don't have access to the kitchen and living room that's ok. The bedroom an bathroom is on point. The storage in the bedroom is awesome. I would want it with the 2acs. An having a slide next to the entry door an it having a awning on it is spot on. I do wish the outside speakers were down lower. This is a perfect travel trailer in my eyes. Thank you Uncle Josh for the awesomeness that you bring when showing us travel trailers, fifth wheels, an motorhomes!!!!

[@robinhart1390]

Josh this is the best video walk-through on this floor plan I’ve seen so far! The only thing that would’ve made it better is if you could’ve opened up the refrigerator so we could’ve seen the inside and if you could’ve open the awnings. We’ve ordered this trailer and are really excited about it. The only thing I don’t care for is the two-tone cabinets. I do like the European style though. I do a lot of cooking and I believe this kitchen serve me well. Thanks for doing such a thorough video and opening the cabinets etc.🥰

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY for the constructive input btw! I do TRY to open fridges, but most of the time the RVs aren't quite on level ground and the fridge doors try to pull themselves shut so sometimes I just can't do it on camera working alone like I do I'll do my best to make it happen where I can, though!

[@hannda6778]

I wish the kitchen slides were built out to the inside edge of the floor slide. Cooking at that stove looks like a toe buster for sure. If they gave you two more inches of cabinet depth and move the stove two inches further into the unit you'd have more storage and safe feet.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

They do that in their fifth wheels but I’ve not seen it done in trailers

[@ThePaulHanson]

I appreciate that you showed the bathroom vent fan. I realize most will have that tiny 4" fan, but if you could keep showing that in your reviews I think it would be helpful. I don't know that you'd have to comment on it, but showing a prospective buyer so they would see whether they'd have to replace that would be nice (source: me buying a different model and already ordered a new bigger vent fan) :)

I do like how they do a lot of these kitchens along the rear wall. It provides benefits of two big full super slides without the extra length you often get from a rear sofa or dinette

I would like to see an outlet left of the stove , the added storage behind the TV and drawers in the booths or bench henges to better access. And a outside gas grill hookup . The front storage compartment could hold a small fridge. And aircompressor. Also a outside hot and cold hook up for a hose or shower. No carpet under kt table. You didn't mention size of propane tanks. 2- 30 gallons would be nice. Also I don't remember you mentioning if it has electric self leveling and electric hitch to raise it up and down. A second airconditioner in Bed room is nice. Over all good design.

[@carlsullivan6377]

[@aj.8665]

Outstanding review with great details. The 2970 is definitely one were interested in. I have a 2019 Ram Laramie 4x4, Tow rating is 11.5K and Payload is 1600lbs, is there a safe and effective percentage of these max capacities that an owner would want to tow? Like 80 -90 % for safety and not straining the engine. Thanks

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It really depends a lot of different factors. Like your experience, the wind you commonly get in your targeted towing area, hills and mountains… There’s really not a single determining factor. I do recommend trying to keep the trailers wait 80% or less than your max towing weight as a general guideline and scaling from there

[@robertcolpitts4534]

This is too big of a trailer for your truck. This is in 3/4-ton territory. The estimated "real" tongue weight is around 1170 lbs, which may exceed the probable hitch capacity of your 1/2 ton pickup. Crawl up under the back of the pickup and look at the weight-rating stickers on the hitch. Recommend you weigh your truck fully loaded for camping with passengers and subtract that number from the truck GVWR. Then you will have your actual payload capacity. Check your owner's manual for the tow ratings on your pickup. Most of the payload ratings don't include driver and passengers, which are part of the payload that applies against the rating you mentioned.

Without specs on the truck I cannot say with certainty but man that’s a lot of trailer for a half ton

[@GZUS96]

@@JoshtheRVNerd what's the closest trailer, in terms of floor plan, to this that you would recommend for a half ton?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@GZUS96 Opposing super slides like this push most any half-ton. Not only does the weight of the camper become a challenge but the length as well. Longer trailers more easily push around vehicle and there's a lot of shorter wheelbase half-tons out there today but to try to answer the question brands like apex are pretty good about making a decently sized RV lighter in weight. Their 293RLDS perhaps?

[@Luis-og8uq]

Hey man with the weight distribution and sway hitch you should be good to go. The hitch weight is low on this model and overall weight is probably under max tow. I will be towing this model with a 2007 tundra that shows max tow 10k. I will add airbags to keep it from sagging because even with a weight distribution it still will. I have towed two other rvs 35’ 10k with it and never had an issue, other than squatting more than I like to see. Any truck other a dually will squat. We previously had a 2017 ram dually with a payload of 5k and our momentum with hitch weight of 3500lbs still weighted it enough to active the air bags on that. Sorry long post but just check your max tow and payload

[@moecabrera9595]

Howdy Josh, We continue to appreciate your videos greatly! Thank you again! Just wondering what your thoughts might be bewteen these two travel trailers....

[@christophermcmichael880]

Truth to tell. I really don't think that the RV would need any more storage, especially behind the TV. Just with the storage capability it has now, you can easily go over the gross cargo capacity. I think that trailer would be better with a 2,000 lb. cargo capacity. As far as a tow vehicle. It would be over kill but a 1 ton with a high rise cap on the bed of the truck would help with some aerodynamics towing the trailer as well. Plus with a 1 ton dually you'll get the extra payload capacity to bring extra stuff and a truck cap would help a lot with keeping the extra stuff dry too. Curious. What's the width of the trailer? Is it 96" , 102"? The specs list didn't show the width. Nice RV, if Inhad the money to buy and use it, I would buy it. I would change the theater seating for, if possible, two swiveling recliners and the sofa to a real sleeper sofa with an actual mattress, the type of sofa that it has when folded out to a bed doesn't look like it would be that comfortable to sleep on but again, I had never layed on one to really know? Add another solar pannel for redundancy and a bigger vent fan in the bathroom would also be changes that I would make to the trailer. There's one thing you can do to help keep your battery charged to the RV durring transit and if you want to keep the fridge running. Add another alternator tonthe vehicles engine and a side lead from that directly to the RV battery or add a much bigger amp output aternator to handle charging multiple 12 volt batteries.

[@jdollar5852]

Pretty much the same layout as a lot of medium sized 5th wheels. I would rather have a televator like in the other GD you did today. Nice kitchen layout. How much more does it cost to put a good fan in the bathroom rather than passing that on for the buyer to replace? Do it right the first time at this price.

Fan costs can vary by a few hundred dollars actually. That’s why a lot of brands are hesitant to do it

Not sure I can add a 1600 trip into my costs just to buy. I’m looking at a used 2022 model and trying to decide if the extra cost would be justified to a new one. Could the tank water heater in the 2022 be swapped to a tankless? Are there any power outlets on the back wall? I’m thinking of taking out the couch and putting in a work desk and chair (similar to the 2670MK) Is the refrigerator work okay compared to the 12vDC compressor one? The seller said it is a dometic and runs on dc, gas, or shore power. Can the heng fans be installed by an end user? Well shoot, the rest of my questions went out the window. SMH. Thanks Josh for all the information you provide, it is greatly appreciated!

If they ever build me one? You bet lol

[@Allthingsjilld]

@@JoshtheRVNerd we are going to look at it tomorrow. I have watched your videos on the factory and how they are made and you seem to give them good praise. Do you still feel this way? Is it a good buy?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@Allthingsjilld Wildwood commonly has a little issue with small fit and finish here and there - like trim pieces. Structurally they seem to be solid

[@Allthingsjilld]

@@JoshtheRVNerd ok thank you josh!! Your knowledge is much appreciated!

[@josephbaylis6673]

What are your thoughts on the lack of tank heaters? Thanks

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I know 0° testing can still be passed even without tank heaters. And unless you’re going to be parked long-term in some serious subfreezing conditions the fact is most people really do not need them but there’s been a big recent trend toward them A lot of people now associate tank heaters with “four seasons” camping with the two are not necessarily locked together

[@josephbaylis6673]

Thanks

Information on water heater ?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

As I recall this is a gas/elec water heater. 6gal vessel. About 17.8gal/hour recharge

[@meatrobot]

1300 lbs CCC. 52 gallons of water weighs 430 lbs. That's less than 1000 lbs cargo capacity. This rig is going to have a buttload of empty cabinets.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Low ccc is a super common problem right now

Looking 4 a lance style height bumper pull toy hauler any suggestions?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Lance has really done a great job of forming their own identity. What qualities about them interest you? That might help me know which direction to go for you.

[@stephen6157]

Height but what I saw wasn’t a toy hauler, would like a closed garage from the front of the rig with no slides.

[@tomstone8976]

would rather see drawers under bed like the rockwoods. Who wants to lift up a mattress everytime you want to retrieve something?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Totally fair! Thank you! Freedom Express / Apex / Spirit all have amazing bed storage systems as well. Have you seen any of those?

[@GUNNSHOWman]

When do the 2023 models come out

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

There's no official release dates announced to my knowledge currently. Last I knew we tended to see things like this around June-July

[@GUNNSHOWman]

Wonderful thank u.

[@GreyAlien1]

Uncle Josh, how do I reach out to you? Looking for advice and yes, we will buy from Bish. Looking at the Rockwood Minilite 2506S and or options. We trust you.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You can drop me a quick question or two here but if you’re looking at a purchase then you should contact our team at www.bishs.com/contact/

[@GreyAlien1]

Thanks! Looking at the difference from a DOMETIC fridge vs a Magic Chef. RV comes with a 190W Solar. Mini Lite 2516S comes with the Magic Chef standard, however the models I have seen have the Dometic.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@GreyAlien1 I am not trained on the differences between individual 12v fridges on that level unfortunately and don’t want to steer you wrong. They’re all roughly equal in my view but that’s largely theoretical and I lack enough real world use with each type
