Take Your RV to the Next Level // 36 Mods & Upgrades in My Imagine XLS 21BHE Travel Trailer

After 6 months of owning my 2024 Grand Design Imagine XLS 21BHE travel trailer I share 36 mods and upgrades to make RV life simpler, better, more seamless, more relaxing, etc. (you fill in the blank). I certainly cannot take the credit for all of these mods and upgrades as many of them are inspired from others over the last 9 years since I started RVing. These mods and upgrades are designed to eliminate RV hassles and nuisances so you can enjoy more time with your family and the great outdoors while camping.

That is one of my favorite RV's. I wanted a 21BHE badly. Sadly, I never did get one, choosing a Reflection instead. Nevertheless, the XLS-21BHE is a great camper and I would have loved to have one if it weren't for my wife falling in love with the Reflection that we ended up buying. Thanks for your great video.

You are a straight up gangsta bruh!!!! I am just gonna go buy whatever you buy dude!!!! For real for real, I am trying to sell my Casita Heritage Deluxe 17’ Fiberglass Travel Trailer so we can get one of the these. Very glad to find you have done this amazing piece of work! I will be following all your vids on this brethren!!!! I also live in TN… Thanks!!!!

[chipper]

We just bought this trailer and am so stoked you got this given how much you improve it. Ton for us to learn from. Your tour video also sold us on the model. We appreciate you! Thank you

[myjavadogs]

Love all the mods……question, are you able to fold up the bed while it’s made? Assuming you have to remove the pillows first…..

[linkfloyd]

Late to your video but would love to see more about your modifications to the nautilus panel, especially the clear viewing panel and permanent filter. Also, this is an intimidating level of mods, wow!!

[woo]

I just got this same camper. I pick it up next week. I'd love to see how you did the water pressure regulator and the water filter.

[andrewalker]

Thank you for your videos. I’m a subscriber for sure. These mods are all so smart and so clean. I have so many questions, but maybe I’ll start with the battery swap. Did you have to change your charge controller for the LiFe or was it a swap and go? Amazon doesn’t have the Renogy anymore, so would you have another recommendation or should I try to find the Renogy somewhere else.

I also have a GD Imagine (3100RD, 2023 model), the same truck (AT4 trim) and just bought the Bluetti you have, so thanks for your other vids that have helped me solve a few other issues. I’m thinking of trying your portable battery install in my TT with the Bluetti.

Thanks for the time you put into your vids. Some of the best on YouTube.

Great video! How did you do the trash can?

[RyanPanning]

Have you considered upgrading the stabilizer jacks? Or are the scissor jacks good enough? I also might need to tuck those up underneath / higher if possible, since my driveway has a hill to it... 😬

[cathyrodriguez]

Would love to know about the ceiling light strips inside your trailer. Thanks for sharing all the tips.

Another excellent video with many great ideas! Thank you for sharing!! Love the “if you know, you know” comment and I definitely am in the know. Bought a bunch of parts trying to rig up my own creative engineering bidet and still trying to figure out if I have all the pieces I’ll need before ripping into it. Never knew there was already one designed to fit, so that’s definitely going on the list. But first, I’m trying to find the backup camera you are using and I cannot find it (with any degree of confidence). The one on GM’s website says it does not fit my ‘24 Sierra. And, I don’t see it on your Amazon store. Could you, would you, point me in the right direction? I understand it works with the infotainment display as well? I was going crazy wondering why my lippert wireless wasn’t working properly after trading up from my last pickup until I found the many mentions of this issue being caused by their PWM power scheme. Have the harness to rectify that on the way but I’d rather have a more integrated solution. Cheers!

Awesome work yet again. For the LED down lights, did you have to add additional DC power down the line of the long light runs?

Our GDRV has a couple of lights under the master bedroom slide with a switch in the wet bay, I’m thinking about tapping into that for similar control. I will check your videos to see if you documented the downlight led install.

Is the Jayco Pinnacle, I believe it was the pinnacle, out of your fleet now?

Do you know who manufactured the seating under the murphy bed?
I have an older model 21BHE that has very uncomfortable seat cushion/backrest
that I would like to replace with what you have. Looks far more comfortable.

[mark]

Does that dehumidifier run off 12 volts?

[scottwaterreit]

Where did you get the USA state stickers on the Murphy bed? Thx!

[tmthompson]

What kind of blu-ray player did you purchase that will play discs vertically?

[linkfloyd]

For the ceiling fan upgrades did you have to remove the sealant on the roof and then reapply?
