The big attraction in this video is that You make it with such a lot of fun. In terms of commercial strategy, it makes all the difference. In any business, I love well humored customers to smoothly transmit them prices. A bottle of good portuguese wine is the very best friend.
Man, I'm a fairly happy owner of a Reflection and I have to say, if I worked for Grand Design I'd be embarrassed to show that solar wiring job. C'mon man. It doesn't take a lot to just tidy that mess up.
Hey y’all. Just want to say thank you. Thank you for your content, for your travels, for Daisy, and for sharing with us. What I love about your content is how you beautifully transition between your shots and video. The transition is smooth and not too fast. I know and understand what I’m looking at. The music choices are excellent, too. Your choice fits and is not loud or out of place. I love the voice overs. They explain and inform at a great pace. It’s not hurried. I love the sit down explanation y’all do on camera intro and throughout your videos. I love Daisy. She’s adorable 🥰. And I love the potty-mouth outtakes, because I’m sure that’s what you’d hear driving with me. Thank you for your content and don’t change a thing, please.
Interesting that they went a different route with the generator.. would have loved to see frameless double pane windows as an option, but loving the 325G!
We are looking into the 325G, there is not a lot of actual reviews from owners, but I do see reviews from 350G owners that they are having issues with towing. They are saying the only way to run with a SXS is to make sure you back it in and full water tanks, otherwise it will swing down the road. Has anyone else experienced driving the 325G with a SXS in the back?
Great reviews, guys. I like the second one better, but like yall's would need a dually. Really stepping up the toy haulers, a lot of appeal there. Ya'll keep up the great videos. God bless and stay safe on your travels.
Very nice presentation. However after seeing my bucket list video and others have issues with this line for me this is a unit to avoid. I take it one step farther and say if GD has to put in an steel or aluminum wall and roof support on the inside of the open space theme......I call that a red flag indicating to me of potential issues down the road. Definitely not a full time rig at all. Just my thoughts. Still thanks for doing the video I enjoyed it.
Those rigs might be nice, but they sure limit where you can go camping. I can't see where they would be any fun trying to drive down secondary roads and get into gas stations. Just too big.
Would definitely prefer the 415G to have an east/west bed option and 12/13ft garage to open the kitchen . Seems tight in the kitchen between the counter tops .
As a recent purchaser of the 415, the baby stove and small microwave is about our only complaint. But we do use an air fryer often so maybe we won't miss a larger stove. Time will tell.
Hi can you guys give me a price I don’t like calling dealership because they won’t stop calling I will be nice to mention the price We were interested in the 395 momentum but there was NO STORAGE UNDER THE RIG So it was a big deal And the 410 momentum my husband doesn’t like the TV BEING NEXT TO THE COOK TOP
Chad, any update on the Volta System? I'm trying to figure out which would be more cost efficent, adding solar with batteries or getting a Volta System?
We're anxious to get a Volta Power System video out also! We're still working out a few bugs with them on our prototype, then we'll definitely be producing a video! 😊 ⚡️ I wish I could say what this system will cost in the after-market, but it's not even available anywhere at this time to compare, and it might be several months before it is. So, if you're looking to get a system soon, you might need to go a more traditional route.
So your a big time momentum person. So not sure how long ago but you went through a 21g travel trailer toy hauler. so how did you like that? that is what me and the wife would like.
This is going to upset some people out there..Aerospace background..5 ft 6 inch 150 pound guy..I could rip any interior wall in a momentum out with my bare hands.. I was excited to see a 397th.. Guessing you get where I am headed without saying it...
Not anytime soon. 30 gallons of gas, supplying about 4500 watts of power (constantly) would last about 30 hours (estimated based on what we saw with our own testing). That's 135 Kilowatt hours. A 100Ah 12v lithium battery supplies 1200 watt hours (1.2KWh). But, about 20% is lost to conversion (inverter), so let's round up to 1KWh. So, it would take 135 of those lithium batteries to supply the same amount of energy as 30 gallons of gas. Energy storage technology just isn't there yet.
Sorry there is absolutely no way I would ever buy a Grand Design ! There is another RU-vidr just got his Momentium back from Grand Design after having 17 cracks welded on his frame !
Any time you make a lot of something there will be a certain percentage with one issue or another. We've had plenty. All manufacturers have issues. In fact that frame that was welded was likely made by lippert and they are used in a ton of different manufacturers builds. Not an excuse... just the way things are. I think the key is that it sounds like GDRV took care of the issue.
Some nice new touches in these builds that I hope are extended to the entire Momentum line. Really glad to see them ditch Onan and go with the Yamaha 6kW setup (though I'd still prefer yours! 😂). Looking forward to seeing them in Hershey along with the 410, and hope Tara gets back on her feet soon cuz the road beckons!
@@ChangingLanes Each manufacturer spec’s their frames from Lippert and thus each one has their unique problems. Grand Design specifications are aluminum and steel to save weight and cost. We are on the Riverstone forum and no one has ever complained about broken frames. Years back DRV had a rash of broken frames but they fixed the problem .
GD should be ashamed of what they did to a friends trailer. Bought brand new from GD dealer in CA. Slide is swintech, a total piece of junk. Furthermore, the trailer has been used a total of 4 times - it is 2 years old. Been in the GD shop for many months because the skide will not work properly. It might cone out, and if it does there is a high probability it will not come back in. It has two motors that operate the slide. They will not stay in sync or even operate at all much of the time. GD basically told my friend that its too bad and he is on his own. Absolutely no commitment to stand behind their piece of junk. Want a reliable slide - buy Jayco. I personally have an Eagle that we usually travel with our friends together. My 5th wheel slides have NEVER given me any issues. His have never worked properly. GD should be ashamed.
