We’re Changing RVs (And It’s Not What You Think)

[@debbieswaggerty5567]

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 🥳

[@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!

[@ramonapuckett3059]

Exciting news! Can’t wait to watch ❤

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

🎉🎉🎉

[@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!

[@KristaBensonthedabblingcrafter]

The locks were an issue with our Minnie. So many people walking in on the bathroom. We replaced with a locking door knob. For the sliding doors we did a command strip hook and use the travel loop on it. Not super secure but great for privacy.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Good idea!

[@juliemilliron849]

When passing through Michigan, you are welcome to stop and use the spot we have set up for RV's. We live on torch lake, which is also a nice spot to visit.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@carlsanders4680]

Congrats you all. You have packed within 10 yrs what we all would take 10 decades to get to and not got to 10 percent. What you do for your kids is amazing and for you. Not including the home schooling , wonderful. What your kids have seen and done. WOW !!!!!!!! Hope they think so. Sure they will later in life if not before. WOW !!!!!!!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

🙌 yes this lifestyle has blessed our daily in. So many ways!

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

While in Canada you must see Kooteny National Park, and when going east, when you cross into Saskatchewan skip the TransCanada and take the secondary highway south of it. Grasslands National Park is amazing, as is all the little towns along the way to Lake of the Woods. I just looked a map and the route is zigzagging across Canada. There is so much to see in each province, so much to see so little time!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Awesome that’s for the tips!

[@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 🇮🇸 🥳

[@SonyaBarnesOnMove]

We just spent the last couple weeks driving from Florida to Washington without a reservation made! We planned each leg and picked stuff a night or two out, but even just found a nice place and stopped same day. Love the journey!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That’s amazing 🤩

[@aprilkeener3345]

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

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We are too! Isn’t that so cute! 🐓

[@DMRSIX]

Love your ideas for a new design for Grand Design!💗 I love the quality that I have seen in many of the travel trailer options as well as the fifth wheels but they are ALL dark. As an interior decorator, I long to see the lighter colors and a more classic design that won't go out of style. A space is so small and in RV and lighter colors expand the space exponentially. I can't wait to see your design! A bathtub, oh my, that has to happen.... That could convince me to full time.🛁

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That’s our goal!

[@starlaross8151]

I love, love, love some of your ideas for RV design -- specifically the flex room.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Yes! 🙌 we cannot wait to bring it to life!

[@kimmiller8007]

We are impressed with the Lineage and can’t wait to hear your take on it. Also we will be in the same area so we hope to run into you all. Safe travels!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We cannot wait! We would love to cross paths!

[@thatmichigangirl90]

I love the flex room Ember RV is making. It has a track system on the wall for attaching beds, desks, or counters at different heights.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That’s so smart!

[@marymurphy5069]

My husband and I are traveling up to Canada to the same places you are going. We are like you, no reservations, flying by the seat of our pants and hoping for the best. Praying for good weather and lots of beautiful sites

[@carolynbridge2087]

If it’s in summer months you won’t have much luck getting spots in Banff or Jasper! They book up 3 months in advance. I live here in Alberta and it’s crazy trying to get to get a spot in those areas! Hope you enjoy it here! ❤️

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

🙌🙌🙌 yes! We are praying for that also!

[@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!

[@jonathanmayor3942]

To get it all, bathtub, fireplace in the bedroom, etc. Consider building a tiny home on wheels; some are pretty nice, like the timber craft ones of Alabama, and you'll get both the house and the moving possibility =D

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We think we could make it all work in a facts wheel!

[@notfromaroundhere]

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!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We cannot wait to share this journey!

[@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! 💡

[@Shawna_Howie]

Excited to hear you are coming through Banff again! We full-time a short ways away from Banff in our 2024 Grand Design Influence 3503GK which we love! They have done the lighter colours and more residential feel in the Influence.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Amazing 🤩

[@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 😂😅

[@bobmccaslin2040]

You and your family are so inspirational-thank you! Bob from Spokane Valley, WA USA

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Oh thank you so much 🥰

[@darlenehynes855]

We went to Banff and Jasper on our honeymoon 28 years ago. It was majestic. We took our daughter their a few years ago. My province Newfoundland is beautiful as well. Love to see you guys here some day.💞🇨🇦

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We are excited for this adventure 🥳🙌🎉

[@DeannaWallace-t6q]

My Daughter just did Iceland in a Camper Van! She said it was spectacular!!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Awesome we can’t wait!

[@SharonCullenArt]

My nephew and his wife did Iceland in a camper van in Iceland and then my sister and brother in law did it with their Land Rover that broke down and they ended up doing it in a tent, and froze their butts off but had a great time. They both did it in summer though.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That sounds like quite the adventure 😊

[@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!

[@drsuziemac]

My grandparents lived in a 5th wheel that they moved only 3-4 times a year and then they had a really small motor home that they called their “tent”. When not traveling it was parked next to the 5th wheel as a guest room for visitors.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That’s awesome 👏

[@ninab4336]

What about the plumbing in the Imagines? Are they putting brass fittings in them and improving the leaking in the plumbing?

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

I think they’re making these upgrades across all brands.

[@paulab984]

We're taking our 26' Winnebago View and going to East Glacier, Waterton (hope you're going there), Banff, Jasper, West Glacier, Yellowstone and Tetons and then back to western NC. Leaving Aug 21 and back Oct 2. SO EXCITED!!! I'm thrilled you'll be there a little ahead of us so I'll get to journey with you before we go. I'm thrilled for you for all this fun stuff you've got planned.

[@sarahkleckner9439]

Sounds like with that timeline you’ll encounter some colder weather! Don’t forget to pack for that!!!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That sounds amazing!

[@sandramcfarland2704]

How exciting! We’re getting our upgraded RV in 2 days! It’s at the dealership awaiting us to pick it up. We cannot wait and understand your excitement for new things!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That’s so exciting 🥳

[@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.

[@lcutforth8302]

Just came back in may from 8 days(not really enough) of Camper Vanning Iceland!!! We loved it! Definitely different than my 42’ Solitude!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That’s amazing!

[@lcutforth8302]

I know ya’ll do a ton of research but if you want any tips we found useful or things to take that help in these vans let us know! It was only the two of us but we splurged and got the 5 passenger with extended height and we wouldn’t have done it any other way. It will take some solid organization if you’re taking your kiddos!! Tried to upload a photo but guess it doesn’t let you

[@swansodi]

I lived in Iceland for a year, been awhile ago. I loved it... I pretty sure you will too!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It’s been on my journey list for a long time we are so excited 👏🙌

[@JasonDriver-tx8gg]

We have the Solitude 378 mbs-r and for the most part we love it. If I could change anything….I would add a 3rd axle and more basement storage behind the axles. Unfortunately….with this model, all the basement storage is so far forward, that it adds pin weight.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Great feedback thanks! 😊

[@krissygibbs9970]

I've been following you for years and you have shown some amazing footage in all of your videos - but that close up on JJ's chicken was Oscar worthy! 😂 Can't wait to follow along!

🐓🐓🐓 he loves those chickens!

[@rvyourway]

It's exciting that manufacturers are listening to consumers more and taking their suggestions on functionality to heart. We're excited to see what you and GD come up with!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That’s why we are working along side them, because we want to help these companies create better innovative products.

[@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.

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.

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.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for the tips!

[@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!

[@babybuluga1554]

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.

[@JulieSlaughter-q3d]

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.

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.

Are they trying to build the Lineage piecemeal? The main reason quality slips imo is shoddy assembly by a line that gets pushed to get to the next one. Son works at Winnebago and says they don’t have that experience in Forest City. (Also mentioned the Lineage is basically the same as the Ekko)

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It’s similar to the Ekko, this was the prototype model.

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.

I took the Amtrak the Glacier and that was cool. Park Ranger gets on in Shelby Mt and walks you through it until Seattle

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Awesome 👏

[@Jill_T]

OMG, YES THE DECOR!!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Yes!!!

Will check back when you go back to an Airstream. Safe travels.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for checking in, I don’t think our family could live in an airstream at this stage of our lives.

[@cindiallain8542]

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.

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 🙂

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for the input we will check it out!

We've come full circle with JJ loving chickens, it was meant to be! Marissa was wearing a Chicken, Alaska sweater in the video where she told Nathan and all of us that she was pregnant! 🐔♥

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Oh yes that’s a good point!

[@brianrobinson9189]

Probably coming right by us - Barrie, Ontario. Reach out if you need anything, you're doing a meet up or want any tips

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks!

[@dsphotoscapes]

My cousins in Tennessee went to Fall Creek Falls Bible Camp....really close to you.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That’s really close!

[@sunflower6372]

There's actually an RV out there that I seen on the video that has the tub that has like a room that you could do arts and crafts and the kids can sleep in and then the parents sleep at the other end

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

What was the make and model?

[@cherylcull3731]

Myself and my family have been thinking about selling it all and hitting the road but are unsure how to sustain the road lifestyle. What do ya'll do for income?
