I love how excited Nathan gets talking about the manufacturing side of RV's. Thanks for making a difference in the RV industry...

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We genuinely want to help the industry serve the community better!

[@sheilacaine]

I knew when you said what RV do you think we are taking I said oh boy Marissa is getting that Linage she loved. JJ is the chicken whisperer. I would have never thought years ago that JJ would be touching a chicken. Awesome. I’m excited for Canada for sure. Yes You Rock. ❤❤❤❤

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

He loves the chickens! We are so excited to take the all new Lineage out on an adventure 🥳

[@george_KC1TQF]

In the bedroom with adding a fireplace to utilize that space for Nathan to work and to gain a bigger window a televator would fit in that cabinet that the fireplace would go. When in work mode the TV would be down behind the fireplace and the window would be fully open for a view. Once the workday is done that computer goes away and you can raise the TV. It's a thought that you may want to put into the plan of the new RV.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Great idea! 💡

[@deestanley9836]

Your plans are so exciting, I can’t wait to see all the adventures and changes in RV’s!😊❤

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Can't wait! Canada 🇨🇦 and Iceland 🇮🇸 🥳

[@aprilkeener3345]

How exciting! I'm looking forward to following all your adventures. And JJ and his chickens

[@moonmphotography]

It’s nice that you can go to these places and see these wonderful sights. When we think my wife and I can have an opportunity to go somewhere wonderful. We get stopped by personal restrictions and can’t even plan for that year. We’ve been struggling since 2014. There’s always next year right.😢 You guys have a wonder time. Go fulfill dreams.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

I know that’s hard, it may seem like we are always doing epic adventures but sometimes we also are faced with disappointment. Hang in there!

[@tedwalford7615]

Just watched Matt getting GD rep to tour him through the Lineage; we all were so impressed, you could see in the comments. So to see you folks actually traveling and living in it will be the real-life experience that tells all. Nice!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We are so excited to take it on a trip!

[@ejs6010]

Nice update on your plans. Happy travels.

I think I totally agree with all you said about what you would change about your RV! I'm so excited to see what the layout looks like! See you in Tampa!

[@johnnylightning1491]

Sounds like you guys have a busy few months planned. Good luck on the design project. If I'm at Tampa next year I'll come see you. Keep the good stuff coming guys and give the kids a hug for me.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We are “slowing down” this year 😂😅

[@LesbiFITAdventures]

Such exciting news for you guys!!!! There are days sitting in our Brinkley when I think, "Man, they took Marissa's style!" Which is one of the many reasons we chose them. But until then, we were sold on Grand Design, and there is no doubt that your partnership is exciting for all future owners. I am so sorry to read others throwing shade at Grand Design and you acting like things have never gone wrong in their lives. All anyone can do in life is improve from who they were yesterday, and a partnership with LJML will surely be an improvement! See you guys at your next rally, and now in Tampa. I'm so pumped for the reveal!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It does seem like they used our design as inspiration and that’s flattering if they did!

We moved from a 40 arc ranch..with tons of chickens..to a 29ft rv..in 2020..full-time..for 2 yrs..the one thing I missed was was my chickens..we pulled into a rv park in New Mexico and they're was a lady in a toy-hauler. With 3 chickens 🐔 🤣..she has my respect

[@janetfolkerts5827]

I have back yard chickens, chickens no matter where they live are messy. BUT, like any pet bird, cleaning up after them is part of the ownership responsibility. I can see traveling with a couple of hens, they give back with eggs and unlike other captured birds have a defined personality that brings joy. There are harnesses and leashes to walk them, chicken diapers , etc. These products would not be here if not for so many chicken parents.

I am with you on the fireplace in the master bedroom. Brinkley has a bumper pull that I love the layout on (would prefer a 5th wheel) and they have a fireplace in the master bedroom.

We have a Grand Design Imagine 17MKE (full time for 2.5 years in it) - it’s absolutely the best layout for a less than 22’ overall trailer! There are a few things they need to work on & fix on their Imagine line, but I would buy this trailer again.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

[@kareniceland]

I,ve been going to Iceland since 1960. My mom is born and raised there. It is beautiful. Very touristy now compared to what it used to be.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We are really looking forward to experiencing it!

[@user-np3bv4dp2z]

You are going to Love Iceland. I lived there as a 10/11-year-old. Dad was stationed at Keflavik. It was not far from Reykjavik. There are mud pots but please watch your babies. Don't let them too close some people have fallen in and gotten burned so severely that they could have died. I had a friend that happened to. I understand that they have fencing in place now. The winter is when you want to go for the Aroura Borealis. Summer the sun doesn't really set. It gets like dusk about 2 AM then comes right back up. the winter is opposite it is dark all the time with a tiny bit of sun close to noon. Gullfoss is a beautiful waterfall. the overspray keeps the ground wet so be prepared. Thingvellir is a cute cute little town that has thatched cottages, but I think a Volcano went off there this past year. Mt Hekla is a wonder also. We climbed that in 1968 and it was presented to us as an inactive volcano, yet it blew a year after we left the Island. The birds and native animals are beautiful. This is a very magical place. Trolls are very real to the local people and you will hear about it. Take pictures as well as videos. And an FYI, Fishing is the main commerce. Please be ready for the fish racks.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for the warning! We will be cautious- we are SO looking forward to this Journey!!!

[@MakingItWork]

Wow! Y’all have a busy time ahead! We’ve built our campers so we could have what we wanted but we’ve only built smaller ones. I feel like the quality of our DIY builds is better than anything we could afford to buy and we are not professionals. I feel like the RV/camper industry needs to up their game in quality in general.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Haha we said we were “slowing down” this year 😅. That’s amazing that you have customers built yours!!!

[@livingtheadventurouslife9024]

So many great ideas! Bath tubs are great, they do make walk in tubs, which is pretty cool to have the best of both types but it could be too heavy? The fireplace in the bedroom is a great idea. We swapped out our TV with a small one (we never watched TV in our bedroom so it made sense for us). I will say it helped a lot this winter to reduce the amount of propane we used. We just set it on a timer to turn off after a couple of hours. What I wish it would do is run on a thermostat to keep the room at a set temperature. I could not find one with that feature small enough to fit our space but I’m thinking if GD worked with a company they could get that feature added to a smaller sized unit. Why not give customers more custom options if they’re ordering a rig? If the cost is similar (bedroom TV vs Fireplace $150 or less, pick one or where space allows add both at an additional cost), offer an immediate option to upgrade the mattress by partnering with a couple of mattress companies (your paying to buy it after market anyway & if you can preorder with it you’re saving yourself the hassle & I’m sure GD could get deeper discounts than we can) plus GD would save money by not buying the first mattress. I’m not suggesting GD pays the cost of the upgrade, I’m saying if I’m ordering it I’d pay the extra for the upgrades I wanted (like buying a car) but only where it’s a higher cost. If the base model is XYZ frig, maybe the upgrade is a model that adds an ice maker. Zero cost swap outs would be like the oven: option A is a stovetop burner only with a storage cabinet below; Option B the propane oven combo; then an upgrade to that could be a convection air fryer microwave unit vs a standard microwave & you pay the extra cost; another upgrade could be to use the space under the stovetop only burners to add a dishwasher drawer. If you look at the most common modifications done by RVrs that is the list that could be offered as an upgraded bundled package (keypad locks, hand rails, door handle extenders, screen protectors, etc.). And why not partner with a storage solution company to design aftermarket storage that fits some of the storage space & Offer a % off discount link off the total? I have probably spent 20 to 30 hours just trying to find items that fit these odd spaces without losing too much storage, example: the medicine cabinet is ? 4.5 inches deep … I don’t want a 3 deep tray losing 1.5 inches … finally found plastic pencil boxes that fit it exactly & I put the tiny items in them & added a label (makeup in one, clippers & nail stuff in another, medicine etc) but it took me hours to find them. Pantry is another area where if it’s deep it’s easier to pull out two baskets than 20 items. If it’s tall it should have adjustable shelves. I’m testing out ways to hang a shelf in ours to better use all of the space (like can I hang a loaf of bread or bag of chips in a fish net or cloth under a shelf where I store shorter items below only because I can’t adjust the shelves and mine I’m is too shallow for a standard add a shelf unit. Clothes storage is another for full timers, vacuum packing seasonal clothing under the bed to a near exact fit took me a while to locate the right size, even if they just provided a list of links to these items they know fit I’d think Customers would appreciate it. Compactor makes a square size that when turned on its side uses up the full height under the bed so no lost storage space. Enjoy your rig testing, we’re looking forward to your ideas & thoughts!!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for all the input!

[@alexbiedermann-y6f]

What app do yall use to manage bookings and look for cancellations while out on the road?

[@tedwalford7615]

I'm liking all the mods you talked about! (As I liked the ones you made a bit back.) This'll be great if the manufacturers go for them. - As far as a tub: every home should have one. One downside in an RV is the extra real estate they take. Another is that tub bathers are tying up a bathroom--though acceptable if there are two. Or, could the space be dual purpose, like the tub's in the bittom of a clothes closet? I can't wait to see what you come up with!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We are so excited for this!

[@kellispreppingkitchen]

Yes! Please advocate for a bathtub! As of now the only garden tub we have found was in an older Montana, 2017 I believe.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Awesome! 👏

[@kathiebauer5165]

We have had trouble with all of our slow rise shades falling off the walls/ceilings due to rough roads. I hate the boxes that they install around all the windows. Those have been removed, curtains added. Will contact slow rise for more mounting brackets at each window and will add reinforced trim to better hold the roller shades. We do love the shades, but they are heavy & should be installed better. And yes we need bath tubs now that we have tankless water heaters. The face lift you did in your 5th wheel were perfect.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That’s good to know, we don’t have those shades but I think Brinkley does.

[@leonaweltzer4023]

You might want to look at bedroom floorplan which may not be exactly what you want but does have both a fireplace and a window seat, Venture SportTrek 272VRK. It also has light colors. The main thing that bothers me is the dinette makes into a bed that will not fit an adult. My naivety in not checking.

[@exploringrvdude7817]

Wow, ya'll are intense. But it's super fun to see you trying out these different rigs. I live full time in a 26" class C and my big ask is for more counter space in the kitchenette area. RV manufacturers always seem to skimp in this area unless you get to much larger rigs, like your 40 footer. They put in a 4 burner stove and oven, and then no space to actually cook anywhere. That's my bit of feedback to them.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Counter space is so valuable!

🤩🤩🤩

[@MatthewIrvine]

What was your personal out the door price for each?

[@JAKSAMcNabb]

The biggest problem with the industry, going back a decade at least, is build quality, not decor, especially for full timers.

[@JaffaGaffa]

Decor always been 12-20 years behind. Build quality always been crap

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Yes, quality is definitely an achilles heal in the industry. We also have to consider that the materials used have to be light weight, they’re towed down the road- adding to wear and tear, and often aren’t rated to hold as much as many load them with.

I have an Imagine 2600RB and we love the floor plan. But I added a fan to the bedroom vent and had to fish wire to it from the kitchen. Not that hard but GD should just have this pre-wired for a fan. I also built drawers for the two dinette seats. This should be standard in GD. Excited to see your designed trailer.

Want a bath tub? We have a 2003 Newmar Dutch Star 3803 diesel pusher Class A. One(,of many) reasons we bought it was it had a nearly full size bathtub( think rv queen size bed, slightly smaller). We bought it used from the original owner(via Lazy days Tampa) in 2016.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That sounds amazing 🤩

[@agamemnom]

If you want a bath in an RV you should look into Japanese bath concepts, they aren't as long as western baths so they would work for RV's but you would have to alter your idea of how you take a bath slightly 🙂

I’m so excited to see your new video today! Guys (most) do not know how to jinga…or do Tetris…lol

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It’s a talent that’s required for this lifestyle!

[@EverydayArmyWife]

What are your plans with the current rig.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We will likely sell our current rig.

Do you know is when they went to the better frame? I have a 2022 GD 378MBSR that was built in Oct 21. Thanks for all the great videos!!!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Grand design has been installing the new frame on 2022 model years and newer! You should have the new frame!

[@GIMRRC]

@@LessJunkMoreJourney thank you so much, this is the first I’d heard of the new frames and it’s a big relief. God Bless you and your family. Hope to meet you guys on the road some day.

Question for LJMJ and Finding Your Someday, both will be trialing the Lineage. What do think about the cargo carrying capacity. Even though it’s on a 450 chassis, do you think a family of 4, with gear and all the camping gear, it will be interesting if you can be under the CCC requirement. It will be interesting to see the fully loaded weight printout, CCC is our issue with 2 people and little water on our 350 MB chassis. Looking forward to the trial.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We are going to be covering those details.

[@steveingalls4845]

I like your videos and I know you are a partner with Grand Design, that being said much of what you have done with your current coach and visions of changes to your next coach, Brinkley has already accomplished.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Yes, and they are innovative with their decor- but they still have issues as well. There is no perfect RV. Our partnership with Grand Design is strongly based on our direct connection with the RV community so that we can provide them with feedback to help them create a better product, in this scenario everyone wins!

[@wandrousvindella716]

So excited for y'all ! And church camp is the perfect "revival" for some downtime. I'm still laughing from "take a number"...I have used museum putty to put the #2 around the Airstream for Vinnie. He calls me the "Princess" and would love a second "squat spot" on the rig. Hope to see y'all at the Tampa show. Hugs & safe travels, "Nanna" Wanda & Vinnie

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Hahaha looking forward to seeing you in Tampa!

[@jf1a8x1]

OH MY GOSH!!! a BATHTUB!! YES!!! i already have 100% absolute plans for putting a bath rub in any fifth wheel we buy which is our plan in about a year or so! I keep asking why there aren’t bathtubs in 5th wheels any more!! I haven’t had decent bathtub in my house for like 15 years and I am not retiring to a 5th wheel without a BATHTUB!!!

[@jf1a8x1]

There’s a gal who designs custom 5th wheels and she shows how she put a small residential tub in a 5th wheel! I am totally doing that if I can’t find one ready made for me!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Are you talking about Courtney with The Flipping Nomad? We have toured her rigs! Cannot wait for a place to relax 🛀

[@conniemckenzie7801]

JJ, I think the chicken's love you and that's why they keep visiting.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Awe they do! 🐓

[@Nobody_important_at_all]

They're not telling on the improvements because that's an admittance and acknowledgment that their prior toy hauler frame houses weren't engineered and built correctly to be functionally long term used if the RV was not used with the weight of a toy in the garage. I noticed that is what happened to all the youtube channels who had a toy hauler frame failure and what they all had in common. By publishing and talking about said improvements, that gives legal evidence in lawsuits or potential lawsuits for negligence for not correctly designing the RV in the first place for an obvious, normal use of an RV. Not engineered for use without the cantilever effect leading to frame failure.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Hmmm, 🤔 I’m not sure about that.

[@williamfreeling6546]

How many Grand Design infomercials are you gonna do?

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We are partnering with them in order to help bridge the gap between the RV community and the manufacturers. This is not meant to be an infomercial.
