Possibly PERFECT Couple's Camper for ½ Tons! 2023 Imagine 23LDE by Grand Design RV

[@rebeldawg6371]

Bought this yesterday! We have been looking and researching for 18 months. What sold it for me was the view from the recliner, campsite view, rear view & TV straight across from you. So much storage…. Unbelievable! There is no wasted space. Will be picking it up in a week and already ordered my shower miser water saver to keep gray tank at a minimum. Ty for your reviews, they are very well detailed!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Congratulations! Lot of folks will be jealous you got your hands on one. I might be among them lol :)

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

THANK YOU for tuning in! :)

[@WeekendWandering]

I have a Sol Horizon by Intech that I LOVE, but I'll tell you that if we ever decide to go bigger, this one is definitely high on the list! If we did go bigger, we don't want to go TOO big. I like having a smaller rig. But this floorplan is perfect! Separate bedroom, sleeping for a 3rd person, plenty of room for adults and animals to move around, I don't think you'd feel cramped in here on a rainy day... and I personally love the walk through bathroom! I'd love to try one of these for a weekend to see how it compares to my Sol!

[@ithan1982]

The Transcend 231rk is practically the same floorplan from Grand Design and is amazing! Trade off being a “stick & tin” but you get full rack & pinion slide with the same amazing kitchen.

[@skykeg4978]

Uncle Josh………I agree. They “nailed it” on this one. It is indeed awesome. While our needs are a bit different, this one has a great floor plan. This is a viable option over a fifth wheel travel trailer for those not interested ( like me ) in acquiring a larger tow vehicle. Very nice Josh!!!!

[@wendylucka2397]

P.S. I'm a fan of walk-through bathrooms, no wasted hallway space and the bathroom can be bigger.

[@maryjanegibson7743]

This is a really practical floorplan and it works for all the reasons you identified. Only criticism I would make is the microwave is a little too high for a short person like me, but that's the case for many trailers.

[@drewcasner6529]

Just did the paperwork on our unit yesterday. Apparently we were the 3rd family to buy this model at our dealership in the same day! Got a great deal as part of the Harrisburg PA RV Show. Can’t wait to take delivery after our tow vehicle gets outfitted 🎉. Love your videos

I really still appreciate the rear kitchen in 5he Cougar 22MLS , al5hough this Imagine is very well designed and And also an Excellent Layout/Floorplan 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I tell ya... the rear kitchen in that new cougar 23MLE fifth wheel is a painfully underrated thing. That's a PHENOMENAL kitchen

[@HayesTech]

That's the one. It's perfect. It has everything we are looking for and nothing we don't want. I would like a better bathroom vent fan and maybe more solar panels but other than that, this one is perfect.

We have a GD 2600RB and LOVE it! That sliding under bed storage box is in our house basement. I purchased some plastic totes that fit perfectly in the compartment and hey are more practical. We have way more storage than 2 people need. I can't believe how costly these travel trailers have become (and cars too for that matter). We paid under $30,000 for our 2021 model in the fall of 2020.

I spoke with the Imagine designer - he's aware there's some call for King beds out there and is exploring ways to make it work

[@paulsylvester1394]

We have this in a 2022 model. A few minor things. The heat, massage, and light buttons on the recliners turn on when you don’t want them too. You can get aftermarket covers. It is a pain when you get up to get a beverage and come back to a hot seat! The other problem is the thermostat. With the slide in, you cannot access it or read it. We find that getting the trailer ready for a summer trip, we want to turn on the AC for comfort but don’t need the slide out. It would be better if the thermostat was over the dinette or elsewhere. We had to replace the AC breaker on day 1 and had to help the slide in once but everything has been great!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

LOL at RV shows we'll have people play with the buttons then go away. It does make for a hot butt when coming back lol

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Great feedback on the thermostat btw

[@brockhutz1]

We love this floor plan and everything it has.. except worthy vent fans or even vent fan covers.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Installing fans in existing vents and adding covers is a pretty straightforward thing we do for folks regularly

[@flyermarkbig465]

Gets a thumbs up from me. The slide mechanism isn't ideal but not a deal breaker for me.

[@russellriggan2088]

The slide is maybe 2' deep at most.

[@kimmartin6949]

Brother Josh, I love the fact that you give an honest review, both the good and not so good, thank you. I really like the anesthetics of this camper. However after having a bad experience with rear kitchens, I would prefer it if they had reversed the kitchen and bed/bath rooms. And yes, I know I am in the minority.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Nah! Plenty if people agree. That’s why this one is so popular! m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/emLMqnSgiZ6gppo

[@cindyfavorite195]

I’m not a rear kitchen fan either, just wonder if anyone has experience with the refrigerator in the slide out? I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and use every bit of my cupboard space. This is a nice trailer and 1/2 ton towable a plus.

[@johnpeterson302]

Love this one. I love the steps (I park in a storage lot, so if I need to get into the camper, I have to hook it up and pull forward just to get into it because of stable steps). Love the storage in the bedroom. Tiny microwave! Why don't travel trailers use convection microwaves? I'd sacrifice a little storage for a good microwave. I've never used my oven, all our meals are cooked over an open fire and I can probably find a photo of me standing over the fire holding an umbrella so the fire doesn't go out and the food doesn't get wet.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Kitchen setups in many RVs are pretty traditional to the point of nearly being outdated. I suspect we're going to start seeing things like air fryers and toaster ovens in future models.

Thank for another great video that is helping us find our next RV.

[@kimberolli9734]

I am a Grand Design Fan!! Very well made campers. I've got a Reflection 260RD which is a 5th wheel 150 series. My previous camper was a 26" travel trailer that had a rear kitchen and I wouldn't recommend a rear kitchen, nor would I go with one again. The bumpiest ride of the trailer is the rear and if you have cupboard full of pots, pans, cans of food, etc. and you hit a few bumps - yikes. It's not pretty. Just something to consider. My stove top popped off the oven on occasion. We learned the bad spots on our journey - the hard way. Dishes, pots and pans ended up dented, scratched and sometimes broken. I highly recommend not having the kitchen in the rear. But I will admit, it can be appealing as far as the floor plan goes. If you have nothing but smooth roads - go for it!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY Kimber! Love input like this from real owners! :)

[@roxannegordon6162]

The problem here is that you seem to have 'free range' dishes. We have clear plastic storage bins we tuck all the food, can goods, cereal etc. in them. Nothing moved all the way from New England to Yellowstone. Under the sink we have camp pots stacked. Again nothing moved. We are, however, looking for a bigger RV since we've outgrown our little Winnebago Minnie. No way I would put up with the inconvenience of a walk through to the bedroom bathroom. Whomever designed that has never been camping.

[@astrodb4487]

Passes the pass thru bathroom test with the two exterior doors. Little light on cargo but workable. Could be fun.

[@roxannegordon6162]

If someone is in the bedroom and wants to get out to the living area how do you do that when there is someone in the bathroom? This is a deal breaker for me.

We currently own a Micro Minnie FLX 2108DS. Bought it as our very first RV for our new life of living full time as RVers. We are finding it's a wonderful rig, but just a BIT too small.

This is a very nice unit. Good floor plan everything is well positioned and executed. I do not like the draw pulls, looks like it would be easy to get caught on them. I agree with you on the open storage in the bath, they all need doors. Just a few small things.

[@lisanadeau7255]

I agree. I would change every drawer and cabinet pull in the kitchen and bath

[@Wheelman151]

I disagree on the claim that bathroom storage cubbies NEED doors. We have a 2021 Grand Design Transcend 261BH; same interior elements and open cubbies. They're as deep as the shower, so lots of storage AND easy access for an open box of facial tissues, clean towels, paper product storage, clean skivvies for after your shower, toiletry bags. In 2 years on some rugged roads nothing has fallen out, not unsightly, guests don't need to hunt behind doors for tissue, air freshener, hand lotion, etc. We think they're handy.

[@aekollmorgen]

[@stephenjordan8712]

I think this may be the perfect floor plan for my wife and I, or as close to perfect as we’ve found yet. I could have done without the linen shelves to allow the shower to be bigger, and something to go over the sink in the kitchen to add more counter space, but that is an awesome trailer. 🙌🏻

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT FLOOR PLAN including two entrance doors, farm sink, and rectangular shower. You should include the price range like MSRP and possible discounts. Really NICE UNIT.👍

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Ty for watching. Regarding pricing: it is not possible to include any figure that *remains* accurate over the life span of these videos. I used to do that. Even if I said “this will change over time” people would come in saying they saw it for less in our video and accuse us of bait and switch tactics So the best I can do is offer a link to our website in the description and indicate it within the video where you can see that information on anything in stock at your own pace without needing calling anyone

[@derekburton9532]

I love this travel trailer but here is one little thing I noticed. The thermostat is on the wall near the slide, therefore with the slide in you will not be able to start up the AC! Here in Texas we need to run the AC in summer when getting the trailer ready for a trip to load up etc. So you will have to make sure you the space to put the slide out.

[@petertarantelli]

I think this is a perfect layout, really well thought out. My teeny, tiny, small knit pick…the refrigerator door opens the wrong way. OK, one more, I really like slam-latch storage doors. Some manufacturers like them, some don’t. Thanks for showing us this beauty!

[@GaryBrownrigg]

[@christopherwhyte2360]

Think the fridge door can be reversed. I agree on slam latch doors, would be nice.

[@petertarantelli]

@@GaryBrownrigg well, ‘regular’ ones are, so I would think that RV fridge doors would too. Small detail, but they missed it unless for some unknown reason, they made it open that way on purpose.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Fridge doors in RVs are pretty much always reversible. The big fridges with the french-doors aren't naturally. But a one-side-hinged door? Yeah -- that can be flipped

[@tedsouhrada7095]

Yes, the fridge door can be reversed but it won't open all the way if you do that, it'll contact the couch arm so you might get < 90 degrees on the opening.

Im 6'4" and I love my cal king. Really wish the manufactures would make that an option because in every one with a king it could support a cal king.

[@Chocacvrdkiss96]

This is exactly what I am looking for but I need full-time living..

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

What would this lack your need?

[@lorrieastin84]

We considered the 23LDE. It was high on our list. The layout is really nice for a couple. Nice storage access in the kitchen. Grand Design really nails the bedroom storage. The things that we didn’t like were open storage in the bathroom, lower ceiling, only 30amp option, smaller stove and microwave, 20 lb propane tanks, approx. 1000 lb cargo capacity. I think they should use heavier axles on this model.

[@tedsouhrada7095]

6,995 GVWR and (2) 3500 axles so you're fine. I do wish they'd use 15 inch wheels here but the 14's cover the rating well with 8,160 total tire load range. Perhaps a future swap for me?

[@robertbailey7125]

Only things i would change would be making the entry cabinet doors w/shelves instead of drawers, interior color to something other than brown, and lastly I would love to see a dinette option that was 2 swivel chairs and a smaller table (similar to what is in some toy haulers). It would ooen up room even more and allow for people to face the couch.

How about having an option of changing the Stove and microwave to the opposite side of the kitchen. I do like the layout and weight.
