Small Size, HUGE Space, Cargo Rating!! 22MAV Toy Hauler 2023 Travel Trailer by Grand Design RV

[@joepeach997]

I am amazed at the amount of floor plans and personalities RVs have to offer. I know we all would like something bigger, better crafted, more whistles and bells and just more than what we need, but there will always be something that will do and possibly be loved over the years. Thanks Josh for showing us just about everything out there and being honest about it.

[@perryl5150]

I have one of these.... Pro: Pull with 1/2 ton Tundra with airbags. Flat floor with no tire hump. I can fit a Kawasaki KRX SXS in it. Nice patio. Plenty of sleep room. I never have used that rear couch bed. If you need to sleep 6 not your rv. Do use the reclining chairs all the time. Con: No oven (like my biscuits and could care less about a microwave hot pocket). No patio stairs. 12v fridge (caused me to add several solar panels). No outside storage door. There is plenty of space to have one because under the bed there is a ton of room. It is taken up by the water hose hookup that could have been easily placed in another location. I moved my 3 batteries (lithium) under the bed location and replaced the old battery location with a tongue box for the hoses/cords and the normal rv stuff. An easy work around but should have been thought of by a designer. In the most part it does what I need it to do. These are made to haul the toy and sit and enjoy the outdoors. Probably not suited for the people that like to use their rv like a home, and relax indoors.

[@Gman9091]

I was looking into this model to haul my KRX, I’m glad you can get yours to fit. How much room did you have between the walls? I’m currently 77” wide because of my wheels, looking to get that back down to 70” wide using method wheels 5+2.

[@yvettestewart8002]

Thanks for the storage ideas. I'm going to check one out to see if it will work for me.

[@perryl5150]

@@Gman9091 I have 35s on stock wheels. I have about 3" on each side. Keep in mind the more sag the wider it gets.

Love the flexibility of the free floating chairs. I wish more manufacturers would do that (including non-toy haulers)

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I agree but they’re weirdly unpopular which shocks me

[@lauragough1174]

The love\hate of those chairs might be generational. I'm early in my sixth decade, I see retro MCM Eames-inspired looks. Nice to look at stylistically, but probably not all that comfortable. Flexible usage for sure, but that's some expensive patio furniture.

[@NancyLiedel]

I like the idea of a Murphy bed. I know me. It might never be put up. But I love that layout

I'm really starting to love the Murphy Bed in the RVs.

Interesting! Ty

This has great possibilities for those who do traveling sales like antique dealers or lots of fairs and even like concerts. you have 5k worth of cargo and then you have a green room/break room with you instead of just having a 6x12 enclosed trailer.

I could see that!!

the free floating recliners are a great addition

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

[@nomadicana]

I love it, so much flexibility! Could easily add an office in there! However, I hate the dark wood cabinetry, and wish there were a campsite window in the Murphy bed area. But overall, it’s great!

[@RichardoBrit]

Great work always improving and doing more, such as adding the measurements of the interior in your floor plan photo. The hard work is noticed and appreciated! As are the puns!

I try to do what I can but as a one man band I can’t always do everything I would like

[@RichardoBrit]

@@JoshtheRVNerd you’re crushing it!

[@Shorty592]

I would have liked to see a window on the door side of the RV for the bed, if for instance you ear a commotion outside, you could simply peek through the window from your bed without having to wrestle yourself out of it. The Murphy bed is a good idea on paper to allow a function which is nice to have if you need, but if you don’t need is completely fine not to use. However with the layout, the separation of seating is a little awkward and the sofa kind of feels like it’s at the end of a hallway.

[@outdoorsman2b918]

Generally speaking, it is a cool camper. I do still wish the exhaust fans were Maxx Air fans standard and also a 2nd bench that can become a bed. An optional patio set with mesh walls for insects would be great as well. I don't expect this to have all the features more expensive TH have but exterior shower should be standard in every single RV. Thanks for explaining about manufacturers that prohibit publishing discounted prices. I normally hate when dealers ask you to call to find out the "best price". I usually think it is a scam to get your info and try hard selling techniques on the potential buyer.

[@kristenjones4445]

Thank for everything you do! Love the movable chairs! Don't love the metal legs on the bench. ❤ Love, love, love the drop-down bunk bed!!! ❤ Love the screen wall I appreciate the Tetris style bed/bath layout giving the rest of the RV room, but I think crawling over the bed will get old. I wish manufacturers would make a murphy bed that does not require a bending mattress. 🐙

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Rockwood does a great 1pc Murphy

[@kuuipoaloha]

I agree 2 burner. No oven. Convection microwave oven instead..no couch bed in the back. Toy haulers need. Gas pumps 20 gallons. Storage upper height for tools. Power 110 in the back by the door increase solar panels.Don't need storage. Totes under trailer. Extra tables for outside store under UTV inside when driving. Don't need options 90 percent you are outside. 10% sleeping.

There it is. I got to see both of them in person finally. I like the 27 personally

I like it a bit more myself as well but this 22 is pretty cool in its own way

The murphy bed makes this RV fairly comfortable for people who can’t leave their homes without their toys😊but if you don’t have toys, then a traditional RV floorplan offers a 10 times more comfortable and livable experience👍👍👍

[@stevez340]

@@lauragough1174 that would be interesting👍

[@tickticktickBOOOOM]

I'm a fan of these toy hauler hybrids. There's a lot of ways you can set them up and it's easy to change them. Plus, it's good to have a guarantee of an outdoor place you can fit a table and chairs in that's not a mudhole. Steps would be nice, but you can always grab some from somewhere. I really like that murphy bed. It saves space and you can fit a lot more cargo in. Clambering in doesn't bother me. Putting in a proper mattress and fans would be my first order of business. I can't blame the industry for not replacing fart fans with full sized ones, but I wish they would. I'm also a big fan of free standing tables, especially height adjustable. Not sure how sold I am on those free floating chairs, but they're easily replaced. That bench might get ditched, either for more cargo room, storage, or a desk. You can always bring alone more chairs, and inflatable mattresses are better beds, anyway. Regarding the stove, 2 burner fore and aft over 3 burner. I'd rather pay a little extra and get the counter space. You can never fit three pots or pans, anyway. I don't get the double grey tanks; the bathroom and kitchen area are next to each other. I heartily second angling that toilet. I don't know how that got out design like that. Height is nice, not even having to stick your head into a skylight to take a shower. I do think they should've put -some- outside storage for the hookup stuff. Some can fit in that docking station, I guess. Make sure the bins you use for the rest seal up tight and don't leak, and hope you don't need a longer sewer hose than the tube can handle. Maybe weld a box behind the propane tanks. Manufacturers should ditch outdoor speakers for bluetooth. The fewer places water can get in, the better, and everyone seems to wind up using bluetooth speakers even when the trailer has them built in, anyway. Overall, I like it a lot and there are no dealbreakers.

[@carltuckerson7718]

VERY INTERESTING. Good move. The flexibility of the open space is clutch. I love my Momentum. About to take it out next weekend.

[@carltuckerson7718]

Oh, interesting point - I will be leaving both the recliners at home for this trip. We've found that some Sam's club plastic folding chairs suit our needs. We might take one because they are nice and I do use them - but when we bring four dogs, three kids, two parents, and a partridge in a pear tree, the extra space is key. And its nice to have that flex. Pretty sure I'll be leaving both of them home though. I think that's something to note.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Ty for sharing! Interesting insights. Ty

[@thelosttexan1912]

I think this would have been a great contender for a 1st time RV for my family. It doesn’t do anything great, but does a lot of things well. It allows you room for a family and enough beds for everyone. No slides, but large enough not to need any. Able to load everything you need through the ramp. My first trailer was a FR Cascade 18TO, I would have preferred something like this instead. Not sure how I feel about the awning lights, if you can turn them on/off individually then it might be the way to go moving forward. That way it can be used as a awning (outside gathering) light and as a porch light (we’ll leave the light on for you).

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

😊

[@mikemasters2882]

I love this toy hauler and I agree that a 2 burner stove would be nice. I wish the mattress wasn't visible when it's folded up, and I wish there was a fiberglass option. The lack of outside storage is a deal breaker I don't want some things sitting outside when I unload due to thiefs and bad weather.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That would be cool!

[@asanablue]

Micro no. Toilet no. This could all be better. It has potential. Love 27 foot. Always a good job Josh 👍

Josh we have to hang out with you and look at Grand Design units! We totally love the way GD made this work! Thanks Josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That would be cool!

[@lauragough1174]

I believe that cargo capacity is the highest I've ever seen. Kitchen storage isn't bad. Def not for me. That bed would be a pain, to either dress to get into and out of and somewhat claustrophobic, kinda like a standard RV bunk bed. But that garage area has a lot of potential as a mobile office, studio or business.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah the ccc is nuts and let’s you customize and load big time

[@yvettestewart8002]

Ok..I like this Floorplan. It reminds me of the Attitude 20FB-LE. Great idea. Things I wish it had: solid state steps going into the trailer, a soft backdoor cover like my Salem FSX 190RTX (this way you don't have everyone looking in at night if you want to keep the patio down), some storage under the front bed, and the 2 burner stove. Does anyone really use all 3 burners at once? Other than that, I love this layout. I may be able to fit a Can Am and a sidecar motorcycle inside. Oh, and I wish it was light wood, but I think Momentums always use the dark wood.

[@larkendelvie]

LOL - the squirrels craved fruit today! Thanks Josh this is a nice unit.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

🍎 🐿️

[@JeffinTD]

Nice video. Seems like a pretty neat unit. With the single bench, it could still have dining for 4 with the free floating seats. Metal siding, long term doesn’t delaminate, is easier to repair, and painted metal seems to retain its gloss longer than fiberglass.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Jeff gets it

[@JeffinTD]

@@JoshtheRVNerd I kind of wonder if someone could build an aluminum foam block insulated frame, skinned in Azdel and metal siding. Seems like if you get metal siding it’s either a low end unit, or all metal astronomical priced rig.

[@Whatmeworry]

Id like. Wood cabinet Murphy bed with big screen on when closed. Double sink. Inductive cook top. Pizza size microwave. Less glary countertop. Same size table as countertop. Full surround sound.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Awesome. TY for watching :)

[@jhm68]

Need a toy hauler with couple bed tip outs like the Roo. With a tip out you won't loose as much interior space like a slide does. But it will make the interior feel so much bigger.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

[@pennylynch4471]

Interesting. I like the layout. But, there is no storage. Forget the outside - putting the totes under the skirt is a great idea. But how do you keep them from walking away? And the easy sleeping capacity is 4 adults, with maybe 5th on the bench. Where do you put the clothes? Double up the drawers? I like the kitchen. I agree, a 2 burner would be better. I like the idea of having space on the right side of the stove. The microwave is in the perfect place, or at least better (in my opinion!) than an overhead one. Much easier to clean, and it leaves more space for overhead storage instead of having a giant hole under the stove. I like that it's stick and tin too, I'd be able to put coat hooks up so one of the chairs didn't become the coat closet. I'm not a fan of the bed, it seems a little claustrophobic. Hopefully there is at least a plug in the cubby to charge the phone overnight? Not the one for me. 🐙🐙🍺🍺🦑🤼🚑🏥🩺💊🚪🚔🥴🛌 A couple of octopus walk into a bar. They have a couple of drinks.

[@watchmanonthewall14]

The lack of outside storage is unacceptable. Outside storage stores hitches, hoses, electrical cords, and the like. Those dirty things do not belong inside a trailer. Furthermore, the garbage ceiling fans need to be swapped for some Fantastic Fans or equivalent. The mattress, of course, needs to be replaced immediately with one that won't cripple a person for life. Finally, the bed placement itself makes it difficult to properly put on traditional bedding, as three sides are WALL. I have an RV with an 80 x 60 mattress that has only one side open, and I have to do a full gymnastic routine to get that bed made. What I like are the large holding tanks, the open space, the movable furniture, and the back screen. But it is not enough to overcome the cons I have pointed out. It has potential for some people, though. It's perfect for hauling e bikes, motorcycles, and the like.

[@TanyaRando]

I love the recliners, nobody else can put their elbows on YOUR armrest lol. The screen is great I'm a burner and I don't like bugs lol. I really like the flexibility of the table. I'm not a huge fan, as I don't really like the kitchen, the storage is lacking. If there's 5 of you in that van it would be really cramped. I think a few surfers who plan to spend all day in the water, eating at a fire pit would be great twinned with this one #nerdherd #rvnerdherd

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

[@gaemlinsidoharthi]

Entertaining as always. Thank you. I think I might have preferred that odd space in front of the bathroom to have been incorporated into the bathroom, maybe for the toilet, then have the storage area moved back by the fridge where it’s easier to access. I guess there’s a reason for it being the way it is though.

Now they need to make a non toy hauler, a little shorter with this layout and ceiling height, that would be a lot lighter.

[@AMatt416]

I need an oven in my camper. Sunday morning, cinnamon rolls don't cook in a microwave. I'd sacrifice cabinet space over the stove for a microwave and put an oven in place.

[@cullinan18]

I'd like to see some exhaust vents on the sides, like many toy haulers.

[@MatthewIrvine]

IMHO (which my wife says means nothing) I think all toyhaulers need some sort of offgrid capability. You're not taking your sideby to a KOA. Yes of course an external generator is a thing. But having at least some rudimentary solar with inverter would help!

That back screen is full useless if you plan to use the porch at all. The screens with the flap/split magnetic door is much better. Also prevents kids from walking right into it and no door. If this had a 3 seasons bifold wall, that would make this perfect.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I basically agree, across-the-board

[@MrEricStratten]

I wish someone would make this is a azdel exterior. I'm just not sold on the stick and tin durability. The tank holding is great, the lack of 4 season ability is a minus. I'd like to make it a better boondocker but I'm just not willing to put much money into upgraded lights, batteries, and a front compartment like an Ember, without some better 'bones'.

I am going to go look at one of these in person this week. I have decided that a Grey Wolf 18RR meets my basic needs, and am now looking at all of the similar sized toy haulers before I make my final choice. The salesman is going to have to do some convincing on this MAV 22 when you compare it feature to feature with the 2024 18RR.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

For what it’s worth that’s kinda like comparing an explorer or an expedition. Expedition/Mav might be great but hard to justify the cost when an explorer/grey wolf is all you need if that makes sense

I really like this. I have a 2006 Keystone Hobbi 220 which was one of the first "hybrid" toy haulers. I really enjoy it, but I'm always on the look out for a modern replacement for it.

I would think that the tow vehicle will need extended tow mirrors. Also, while on the highway, the trailer may just barely fit between the lane lines, and that would mean that the driver would need to pay special attention to sticking in his lane without causing an accident.

How tall is the garage with the bed all the way up? My RZR is 76 1/2" tall. Need to know if it will fit underneath that bed.

I have to ask you to contact your local teams, as I am not provided with those kind of specs from the manufacturers

[@josephvallier1152]

Thanks@@JoshtheRVNerd

Why can't they make a real murphy bed instead of a mattress that folds up? It's exactly what I'm looking for, but probably over priced and not a lot of extra features like an outside shower or an outside kitchen. I like that it has a finished stainless steel look instead of a plastic faucet. Why is there the 3 span storage there if you can reach it without crawling on the bed or the couch?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I cannot on their behalf and really am not sure

[@AnnetteLG]

I have two minor dislikes. I’d prefer a cargo/ramp screen that opens vertically rather than a pull down, and a window at the bed area. I NEED fresh air to sleep😊

[@molynn5244]

🤔 💩 🍦 Thanks Nerd! No storage??? Can't do it.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah load focused first. Storage suffers a bit as a result

Not a fan of the murphy bed. Its adequate. Id rather buy a Outback Ultralite 240URS. Better layout. Edit: For the size its VERY EXPENSIVE.

[@Realisy]

Let’s give some azdel and truma love. Make it under 5000lb dry and 8000lb gvwr. Sell them like hot cakes. Not everyone wants 3/4ton and up in their life…

I cant for the life of me understand why I'm seeing more and more "toy haulers" without a fueling station!? The whole reason for a toy hauler is to condense your setup into one thing. Yeah i could throw 6 jerry cans in the truck box, but with the price of these things climbing it seems they're slowly removing things that were standard to see what they can get away with and we'll keep buying 😒

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Hauler sales are down painfully right now. Smaller more affordable models lacking fuel stations as well

I love my pizza. I need an oven.

that excessive spray foam coming out of the bottom is hideous.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I agree it looks ugly but I'd rather have too much and shave it down vs. not enough and let critters thru

[@nickaltvater5592]

$36,000 seems $10k too much to me

[@debbierhode6291]

Ummm. There is a lot about this I DON'T like. I will not waste your time but I think they need to rethink this. I see what they are trying to do, but methinks they are trying too much. Just my personal opinion.

[@jimgibboney9763]

This is the weirdest floorplan. The seating is odd...the bed is odd. and zero storage??? No thanks!
