Thanks for the link. Im not sure howni missed this last year (probably was purposely skipping these types of videos as we had just bought a new Jay Feather 27BHB). Notes on this one: I like the shorter length/compactness with all the features still there. Kitchen, bathroom, master, and bunk layouts are good. Full queen 👍👍👍. Dislikes: Tankless water heater. Door in master is not really a benefit that I can see. I'd rather have a corner cabinet or something. Convenience center in front storage compartment really just reduces what i can store there. I really would have liked it if they swapped the couch and dinette and put a full height window on the camp side with fold down TV. More silverware drawers. Also, why no rear bumber. Stuff happens. I'd rather accidentally back a bumper into something than the back of the camper!
Great review. Looking at this camper as I have a GMC diesel 1/2 ton. Would you prefer this or your 2800bh and could you pull the 2800bh with a 1/2 ton. My specs are 1550 payload and 9200 towing.
@@WanderingWeekends thanks again for the review. We were able to find this new at our local dealer. They were able to add a second AC that will run off a 20amp cord. So when it is really hot here in Texas, we will have to run two cords which was not a big deal for us. Thank you again for a great review.
A bunkhouse with a private bedroom, couch *and* dinette, at under 30 feet? This is doing everything right. I see why GD dropped the 2400BH: This 25DBE does everything the 2400BH did, plus gives you an entire extra couch.
Please tell Grand Design to stop the trend of mix matching the entry steps. I have the outside foldup steps and they are wonderful. Those stable steps just dump dirt into the RV
I still really love the arched ceiling of the 2400 and 2800, the chairs though, that right there is a huge plus over the 2400, that’s the only thing I kick myself about with the old floor plan…
I always felt the 2400BH needed a second door in the bedroom so you didn’t disturb the little ones in the bunks at night coming and going. Not sure this trailer needs two doors, but I guess it gives you access to the bedroom with slide in. The big problem I see is that now you are going to have to kneel down on wet and soiled ground to get your stinky slinky out from under the trailer. The storage should be even with side of trailer. Also two separate dumps for the grey is not ideal. I also see access to the bunks and bathroom problematic when someone is using recliners. I would want more counter space. It is an interesting design and many will probably love it. I’m curious what GD has in mind for the regular Imagine line and for replacing the 2400BH, because a XLS doesn’t cut it.
Very nice review and it looks like a great unit and a solid replacement for the 2400BH. My only concerns is that storage might get a bit tight for a family and with the heater inlet at the back you’ll have to be very careful not to block it by putting stuff under the bed. And I TOTALLY agree with you about manual vs power stabilizers or leveling jacks. The power stuff is expensive and prone to failure not to mention auto leveling isn’t all its cracked up to be. Plus those power leveling jacks stick down just begging to get ripped off. No thanks.
