XLS 22RBE Imagine 4 Seasons trailer by Grand Design Reviewed on Jurgen's Journeys and RV Life

Let me show a very nice camping trailer by Grand Design. This trailer is for the cost conscious couple. Very roomy, with a great kitchen and bathroom, this fixed bed unit has everything a couple will need for 4 seasons camping, in fact, I could live in this one. Check out my review and tell me what you think about this trailer. Incidentally, I do not get any money or commission for showing you this great trailer. I am just a camper like you and love a good value. I think this is one.
Camping in my Winnebago Minnie is always more fun if you join me. So please subscribe and come along.

    Very happy with GD. We sold our Reflection 5th wheel as more than needed. But loved how well it was designed. The windows are bigger than most and really add to the unit when inside. The rectangle shower and shower door awesome. The pull door cleans soap & moisture well. The black box in bedroom has fuse access i think. The Thomas Payne theater seats are so comfortable. This is the model we intend to replace the 5th with. Nice review👍

    I really like the layout of this one. That little kitchen area is awesome. I don't know what was playing on the tv, but that dudes eyes were kind of spooky lol. They looked like they were either really bright blue or green. I know that has nothing to do with the trailer tour, but I just had to mention it cuz it stood out to me lol. Seems to be a really amazing amount of storage in this rig. I'm a big fan of being able to stash things away. Sure looks like a nice one.

    I really like the Grand Designs. We are new to camping and towing a trailer. When we decided to buy a TT so did everyone else in the country. The dealers in our area did not have much to choose from in the size we wanted. ( no longer than 24 ft). I like all their storage, nice kitchen area in the Grand Designs, however that is not what we ended up with. None in our area. Thanks for showing.

    Why not wait until until the 2023's come out to buy a 2022 model? We saved thousands when we bought our 2018 (new) in 2019. There's a lot to like about this trailer. Great lay-out. Love the barn style sliding doors for space savers. All the kitchen and bedroom storage is sweet. That's a huge bathroom. I'm not big on slides and it seems this trailer could be function-able without it. My guess is below the bedroom heating duct you have either the fuse panel or an access panel. Not sure though. Overall a very nice trailer. Great tour. Thanks for sharing. :)

A good used one might do well. But to answer your question, I don’t think my 2014 Winnebago is much superior to the new Grand Design. Mine is not even 4 seasons, which has not been an issue for our style of camping.

It was actually selling for less than the smaller 17MLE. Take care buddy.

    @@JurgensJourneys trailering can definitely become a real pain in the rear. Depends what kind of camping you’re planning on doing though. Full-time, weekend warrior or monthly. I’m still a working man at 53 so I’m thinking of setting up in a campground for the season and leaving it there. If I don’t like my neighbors, pack it up and go somewhere else. (Edit)… i have a 2019 Toyota Tundra, 5.7V8, almost one of the last of a dying breed of engines available for 1/2 ton trucks… i love it! I should be able to tow this with no problem.
