Taking our Grand Design Imagine XLS 22MLE to Colorado: Camping, Hiking, & Rocky Mountain Timed Entry
#ImagineXLS #GrandDesign #WagglePetMonitor #Colorado #RV
We tested our new 2021 Grand Design Imagine XLS 22MLE by taking it 1000 miles to Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes, Park Colorado! When we got ready to jump into the RV world, we were told it would open up flexible traveling options and the ability to find campsites last minute. But is that still true in 2021? We share our thoughts and experiences on RV camping, how we secured timed entry reservations in national parks, and some of our favorite hikes from our trip out west.

      Well….zero. We hit a deer and did $15k or so worth of damage, so we used that as an excuse to upgrade to a 3/4 ton. I recall us averaging around 8-10 mpg with the f150.

    Just bought the the new XLS 22BHE model. It's similar size to this but with the Murphy bed and a bunkhouse in a slide which is literally a private room! It is amazing how well Grand Design is able to use the space. All of their XLS 22 models use the space SO WELL! Also their new micro sized AIM trailers are incredible. Think R-Pod size but the same quality as GD and innovative use of space. Some of those trailers that are less than 20' feel like they are bigger than most 25' trailers.

  • @Gubers
    @Gubers Місяць тому

    It's crazy how expensive R-pods got considering how bare-bones cheap they are. They're so basic and yet people were asking like $35k for them a couple years ago. Still way overpriced. In fact, all of the travel trailers are... But what's crazy is you can get an GD XLS or AIM for the same price range as cherokee's that look like someone went to home depot and then installed all the cheapest material they could find by themselves.

I did to Mt Everest Base Camp 10 yrs ago with G-Adventures and Mt Kilimanjaro 8 years ago with them as well. I know this will be challenging; but I also KNOW I will complete it and it will be memorable...thank you for the info: question? How is the tipping done? Do we give one tip and what is customary? Amounts would be appreciated instead of “what you feel” thank you in advance...

      Amazing that you’ve done Everest base camp and Kilimanjaro. Both are on our list but probably out of reach for us at this point. For the porters, we took up a collection on the last night. I feel like we tossed in $20-$40 but they deserved more. We weren’t very well off at the time, it was about as much as we could spare. Our guides we tipped once individually at the end of the trip. We had two guides. I think we gave them both maybe $20-$40 but honestly don’t remember. Again, they deserved more than we gave and would give more now if we had the opportunity. Hope that helps a little.

      We towed it with a ford 150 with a max towing package for a couple years. I hit a deer in it and near totaled it and ended up trading for a superduty. The f150 did decently but felt a little iffy at times. Superduty is way more comfy.

    If anyone is concerned about their R Pod 180 and sway while traveling, then get a hitch assembly with built-in anti-sway bars. I use a 2020 Crew cab Colorado, a fairly light pickup compared to a 1500 series Chevrolet to pull the R Pod 180 and the first thing I did at my dealer when I picked up the R POD was have him add the sway bar hitch. Going down the road, there is is NO sway and I'm frequently thinking I should look again and see if it's really there. Anti-Sway bars make all the difference in towing! NOTE: 20 years ago at 65 MPH on 85 South just into North Carolina, I nearly lost an1987 Ford 150 pickup with a Wells Cargo trailer to sway -- crossed both lanes and almost started into the median at 50 MPH before regaining control. That's why I believe in the value of sway bars for proper vehicle control.

      Not sure if you’re being serious or sarcastic, but the only debt we have is our home. Vehicles and toys are all bought and paid for, and we have no credit card debt. Outside of travel, we live quite frugally and have jobs that pay decently. I’m an accountant and a little OCD and have also literally tracked every penny we’ve spent for the entirety of our marriage (and long before that for myself) to help us monitor and stick to our financial goals. We had no money and made very little when we got married but were fortunate that neither of us brought any debt to the equation. Since then, we’ve worked hard to advance in our jobs and worked as a team to save and spend responsibly. Hope that helps.

    Did you guys make it to Lake Titicaca? If so can you talk about your experience there and back?

      Sorry, we didn’t. Our trip was relatively short and only consisted of the Inca trail and a couple of nights in Cusco and Lima.

    May be purchasing a 22MLE, what hitch setup are you using? And would you recommend another option? Thanks.

      We use husky centerline with the heaviest bars. It’s been ok. Most people seem to recommend e4 equalizer.

    Love the floor plan. We traveled with 2 dogs. We had 2 doors in our camper. We bought a mesh metal sheet and were able to cut sheet in half to cover enough area to protect the screen doors.
