Tour Our 2021 Grand Design Imagine Travel Trailer + Before & After Reveal! | Full-Time RV Living

Welcome to our 2021 Grand Design Imagine XLS 17MKE Travel Trailer! When choosing a trailer, we wanted something compact yet space-efficient, and this 22-foot camper does not disappoint.

After a few weeks of traveling in our new trailer, we wanted to put our own spin on the place before our road trip out west. So we spent the last few weeks reorganizing and redecorating the RV... and LOVE how it turned out!

This is Episode 7 of my weekly series, Rookies On The Road, so don’t forget to subscribe to keep up with our adventures out west!

➡ ABOUT ME
I am a freelancer and blogger currently working remotely and traveling the USA in a travel trailer with my boyfriend, Dylan! After a few corporate jobs throughout college, I quickly realized that the 9-5 lifestyle wasn’t for me. So I built up my freelance business, saved a bunch of money, and went on an epic 2-month USA road trip where I lived in my car while working remotely. Now, I’m traveling full-time in a travel trailer while working remotely, and sharing everything I learn on YouTube!

We have the same model. You should know that the TV may fall off the bracket if you hit bumps. It's a flaw in the TCL TV frame. The Back panel of the TV will sheer away from the main body / screen area. You can re-enforce this by using a short bunngi cord. Hook each side to the bottom of the main screen. There indents there just behind the face. Have it suspended over the top of the metal swing arm. This helps to support the weight while going down the road. Thanks for the video.

You both did the best job I’ve seen online touring through your camper trailer. Turning on lights, flushing the commode, showing how the stove works, opening the awning, etc. Thank you so much. 😃

One of the best reviews I have seen. Very detailed and much appreciated! So happy to see more people traveling and experiencing life!

This wS one of the Best Travel Trailer Videos I've Seen! I always watch h Josh's videos. I've been contemplating buying a RV Travel Trailer for three years now. What made your video so interesting is that he actually showed how the water flushes, the outside doors open & she demonstrated flushing the commode, how large the shower, how not to break your eggs, and how to use your storage areas wisely! Very Informative, Helpful and a Very Good Job. Thanks.

Your trailer is actually 17 feet long 21 feet with the tongue. You did a great job on the tour. We have the imagine xls 22rbe

Great review of your travel trailer, one of the best I’ve seen...you two have a knack for this! It was very thorough and you hit all the features and points like pros. Great choice in product! Enjoy your journeys

[msmelodybellarenn]

I love how you did your tour, quick and to the point

[magnetoman]

Great review. The 17MKE just went to the top of my list. That counter space is awesome!

[DaisyJ]

I've been researching trailers online for the last month and this is by far my favorite one.

[RZG]

Great review, love the feature and the fact it can be towed with a mid size SUV. Thanks

[rmr]

I have watch probably 10 reviews and walk-throughs on this trailer and this one is by far the best.

[louiseotto]

I am so happy I found your video. We just purchased this trailer and are heading out on a "100 day adventure" in September. I will review more of your videos for tips since we have never trailered before. Thanks

That is an amazing floor plan for a smaller trailer. We have a GD 19RLE. We had a heck of a time deciding between the 17MKE and the 19RLE that we purchased. Still love both models. We are obsessed with our Imagine as well, awesome rigs. One upgrade we did was replacing the window in the door with one you can actually see through. It also has a blackout blind to give privacy when needed. Enjoy and have fun.

[Studebaker]

Grand designs appears to have great floor plans for their smaller trailers. Thanks for the video and sharing your additions and mods AFTER you’ve used it awhile. Lot of new video reviews out there. Go enjoy life you two.

[newmennium]

Awesome high quality superbly edited walk thru!! Of all the smaller TT my wife and I have looked at, this one is my favorite design/layout. The countertop space is incredible!!

[ginnypeterson]

Enjoyed so much seeing your travel trailer first hand and meeting you Crosby. Be safe as you head out again on the road. You two will be in my thoughts and prayers! Much love. 💙❤️

[deanchapman]

Thanks for the insight! We have been dressing our new 17mke and got lots of good ideas from your video. Happy trails

[jasonzac]

Just wanted to say, I don’t normally leave comments on anything. However, I just wanted to let y’all know if you are planning on doing more videos like this please continue to produce the same type. Video appears to be straightforward. Your video was informative from what I could tell, and I appreciate it. Thank you.

[misstracey]

That is a near perfect layout for the size...I love it! You two have a great summer and be safe!😊
