RV Tour || 2021 Grand Design Imagine XLS 22RBE by Full Time RVers || (Life Driving Forward)

We do a complete video tour of the Grand Design Imagine XLS 22RBE. This is a 22 foot travel trailer. The little trailer has a lot to offer.

Let us know what you think of this little trailer. This is on our short list (no pun intended) of trailers that we are looking.

I really like that model it kind of scared me at 1st about the no dinette. option but that's OKI saw the attacheble table option. That you showed and that's pretty cool I can do that👍🏻👍🏻

Have the same rv. My husband and I love it. Perfect size for the two of us.

We just bought this model in a 2023 version. This is now our 6th trailer and likely last one. There is just my wife and I and 115lb Rottweiler, so we prefer the couch/recliner option over a dinette. Our criteria for our new trailer was a separate bedroom, larger bathroom, and more counter and storage space. We’ve watched 100’s of video walk throughs, done countless on site walk throughs, and kept coming back to this model. It checked all the boxes, as well as falling well within our tow capacity and maximum length. Too long and you can’t get in some campgrounds. Too heavy and it ain’t getting up the hills (safely). Pick it up next week and hoping our research paid off.

My husband and I are planning to get a 22RBE early next year (had to upgrade my vehicle first because the Grand Cherokee I had did not have factory towing and could only tow a lawnmower on a utility trailer, at best). My new GC Trailhawk 4x4 with factory towing can tow 7200 lbs, which when doing the math for the hitch weight with a WDH w/sway control, the batteries (plan to have 2), filled propane tanks, and anything we bring with us, we should be able to tow this trailer without any issue. We will be going to campgrounds close by at first, and will be traveling with empty tanks, so no issue with that weight. It's just the two of us (kids are grown and out of the house), so we don't need anything bigger than this. We were trying to decide between the 17MKE and 22RBE, but the 22RBE won out because the hubby wanted a separate bedroom with a door. The storage space in this small trailer is absolutely amazing, as it is in the 17MKE. We have looked and researched other brands/models and keep coming back to this one. The others don't have everything we want, while this one does (no bunks, no dinette, lots of storage, recliners with the TV directly across from them, ducted AC and heat, and a nice-sized bathroom with good storage as well).

Great tour! We are waiting on financing for this💯

It’s very VERY nice that the bathroom heater vent is on the wall instead of the floor. Toilets overflow, and when they do you will never ever EVER get that smell out. Every time you walk into your bathroom after he heats kicks on, you’ll wanna puke. SMART DESIGN! There’s a lot to like about this trailer!

[darrinthorpe]

Pretty much the perfect travel trailer.

[LovingLifeHitchedUp]

Great little rig. Perfect couples camper and then some.

I am so glad you showed the rv with the slide in. Thanks for that.

[glennenprater]

We are glad that you showed us this trailer. It is better to have a customer show the trailer than a sales person. This one would probably fit our needs.

Great Review! You pointed out access that was helpful. Absolutely one wants to utilize the; bathroom, bed, kitchen while traveling. We just looked at the Imagine MKE17
and decided against buying due to no bedroom and can't keep the Murphy bed down with slide closed . Murphy bed also crowds entry in/out of unit when down as a bed plus anyone sitting in the theater seat closest to it. Just too cramped for longer stays. This XLS 22RBE model now our choice. Tks.

[HappyPlaceDiaries]

Really good RV Tour. Thanks for taking us along

[rebeccabrown]

Beautiful trailer! Love all the kitchen counter space and nice drawers. The only thing I don’t care for is the location of the bathroom. I would rather have the bathroom up by the bedroom. I wouldn’t want the bathroom to be practically in your living room space.

[TexasRoadrunners]

Not one of my favorite floorplans mostly because the slide out is on the patio side which takes up room under the awning. We've had the XLS22MLE and presently we have the 2600RB which we love.

Hi Great video. We own this style of trailer. Its a 2020 22RBE. We have camped in it for 2 years now. My wife loves the counter space and loves the bathroom. You are so right . With the slide in the trailer is still usable . During a bad rain storm we closed the slide and could still walk around.

Nice RV, like the cabinets and the counter in the bathroom, but the fresh water tank seams a little small for Boon docking. I’ve learned many toy hauler RVs have larger fresh water tanks. We have 100 gallon tank which lasts 6-7 days if we conserve water.

[dfox]

That's the trailer I've been looking for, closed bed room and large bathroom, very nice !!

[julieragland]

Great video! We just bought this same unit! So nice to see a video of the slide in with the table in place!!

[cathybrown]

That’s more my size! Very nice and not as much to clean😉
