#22MLE #ImagineXLS #GrandDesign #Camping #RV
Hi! We're Darren and Stephanie, the Landlocked Lovebirds! We're an ordinary married couple from the landlocked state of Indiana, with a passion for traveling the world! In our 7 years of marriage, we've managed to visit over 30 countries together! Our channel will teach you how we afford to take once-in-a-lifetime travel adventures each and every year by using the art of travel hacking and by staying in some unconventional accommodations.
Spring is almost here, and we're excited to show you are new 2021 Grand Design Imagine XLS 22MLE! This travel trailer is quite the change from our 2020 RPod 180, and we couldn't be more pumped to hit the road in it. Before camping season kicks off, we thought we'd take the time to give you a full tour angled toward the reasons that we decided to trade for this trailer. We think it's the perfect couples coach!

Just bought the the new XLS 22BHE model. It's similar size to this but with the Murphy bed and a bunkhouse in a slide which is literally a private room! It is amazing how well Grand Design is able to use the space. All of their XLS 22 models use the space SO WELL! Also their new micro sized AIM trailers are incredible. Think R-Pod size but the same quality as GD and innovative use of space. Some of those trailers that are less than 20' feel like they are bigger than most 25' trailers.

Congrats on your new Grand Design. My wife and I are looking at them also. I grew up camping in everything from tents to a Class C Motor home. My wife is new to the idea. We rented a Jayco unit which was similar in design to show her that setup is quite easy and all the creature comforts of home. I am still trying to decide which model is best for us. I looked at the 17 MKE also as well as the 21 BHE. We dont need all the extra beds so if I go that way, I will immediately remove both bunks and make that space my office/editing space.

@LandlockedLovebirds 3 года назад

We looked at the 17mke and almost bought it. It’s a nice trailer. We went to look at the RBE and saw the MLE. Price was quite similar to the 17MKE, so that steered us to the MLE. Happy with the choice so far! Happy shopping!

Congrats, guys! This is our first season in our 17MKE. We weren’t campers, never owned an RV, and we didn’t really know what we were getting into. But, after 3 trips (we wish it was more!!!), we’ve fallen in LOVE. Grand Design is awesome. And now that we know a little more, we’re already looking to a 22MLE, so we totally get you moving to a new camper after 6 months! A stationary bed seemed like a waste of space at first, but WOW, climbing around and balancing on the “nightstands” just to tuck in the bedding has become tedious. We’re a little old for that. HA! I could go on, but we love the expanded “basement” space, the stationary bed, and the Lazy-Boy/Dinette layout of the MLE. Looking forward to more vids. Cheers! Bryant & Stephanie

@TexasScout 2 года назад

I have really been looking hard at this. It looks like the perfect couples trailer. It has everything I wanted and almost nothing I didn’t want. Especially the queen size bed, I did not want to king-size it takes up too much room. Keep making videos I really enjoyed this one and I will subscribe to your channel. The only thing missing that I would like to see on it is a rear receiver hitch for a bike rack or a small carrier. I would like to know if that is an option you can add.

@LandlockedLovebirds 2 года назад

Thanks!! There is a receiver where the spare tire is mounted. I’m not sure the size of the receiver or the weight rating off hand. Most of the recommendations that I have seen suggest adding a bike rack to the trailer tongue to keep the weight forward and avoid sway.

@aprilrittichier547 2 года назад

Love the open floor plan with the bath in the back. A middle bath set up closes off the floor plan- Sort of claustrophobic. Love the recliners right across from the TV and not at an angle. I would love a couples camper like this one! It's the price tag that is the only con for us with this camper. 😞 We just sold our 30' camper and this model could really meet all our needs.

@LandlockedLovebirds 2 года назад

We also love that you can reach the dinette, fridge, and bathroom with the slide in. We’ve had many a rest stop picnic inside. There are lots of lightly used ones out there now. Problem is that they’re more expensive than we paid new. Hopefully the market shifts back toward normal soon.

@vernonbice732 3 года назад

Don't be surprised if you find some little things to fix as you go along. As you noted with the RPod, moving down the road shakes things loose and larger, more expensive RVs are not immune, especially since the components (A/C, refer, furnace, etc) are all made by the same companies. When full time we saw many different brands being fixed in the RV parks, including some of the bigger diesel pushers and fifth wheels. Good luck in your travels.

@LandlockedLovebirds 3 года назад

Great advice! Yes, we figure we will run into a thing or two here and there, and even a bigger thing once in a while. We’ve got a waste tank valve being bothersome and leaky at the moment. Probably some construction debris lodged in there somewhere or something. We’re hoping for littler issues less often, but we shall see how it goes. 😂 🤞

@kswaynes7569 3 года назад

Camping (for some) is not suppose to be like a house BUT we all get to a point where you want to be comfortable when traveling. Nothing worse than having to take two days to recuperate after getting home from a camping trip! I would consider a new (made for you) mattress compared to the factory mattress. A great reference for details on RV's, towing, especially tires and suspensions, is a RU-vid channel, Big Truck Big RV.

Great review of your new rig! Grand Design is a nice unit. Curious if you considered Winnebago travel trailers? Also, what engine is in your F-150? I'm sure your towing is much more enjoyable. Does your truck have the trailer backup assist? If so, have you set it up and used it yet? I have a 2019 F-150 XLT 4x4 w/3.5 Ecoboost. Retiring in 12 months so trying to decide which travel trailer to get. Any information you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated! We plan to travel 4-5 times per year for 3-4 weeks each time. I am a bit concerned with travel trailer build quality and cross country travel though. Any thoughts on long distance travel and build quality with your new rig? Thanks in advance for any information you can help me with.😎

@LandlockedLovebirds 3 года назад

Thanks! Truck is 3.5 ecoboost 4x4 as well. Has max tow package and does include backup assist. The tongue space is too tight for the backup assist sticker, so I’ve not tried to set it up. I’ve read that you can fudge it a bit and still have ok results but haven’t tried. The truck has been a nice upgrade. We looked in a few Winnies and liked the feel the of the grand design product better. Lots of similar floor plans though. So far, we’ve been out 3-4 times locally in the imagine and have been very pleased with it. Happy to share any other info where we can. Best of luck heading into retirement. That’s an exciting milestone.

@LandlockedLovebirds 2 года назад

We have used the heater a couple times. Airflow near the bed is pretty low. We do have a ceramic space heater that we use to supplement and save propane. We asked the dealer to take a look at the ductwork during our warranty repairs, but it seems to be a common complaint. Guessing it’s just too far of a run from the furnace. We’ve seen some people use adjustable registers in the bathroom and kitchen to force air to the bedroom but others suggest that it isn’t a safe practice.

Make sure you have the proper grill. Some have regulators in the hose. Some have them built into the grill. If built in, it won’t work. This hose has the quick connect for your rv on one end. Just make sure the other end has the proper sized male or female fitting for your grill. Hope that helps.

What I like about the Cougar is the King bed and the factory off-the-grid package that has 170 watts of solar (we upgraded to 340 watts) with both a charge controller and a 1000 watt inverter. In short, the Cougar is ready to go dry camping.

A relator lock attached to the outside is a good substitute to the key pad

Great Video - we are picking our 22MLE next week!! Do you have a link for the pest cover screens for the furnace exhaust and water heater exhaust?

Sorry. We got ours at an rv dealer. We repurposed from our first trailer. Amazon has all shapes and sizes for cheaper.

Hello 👋. We are looking at the grand design XLS MKE 2022. How has the built quality been holding up? Great video 👍

@LandlockedLovebirds 2 года назад

Hey! It’s done pretty well. We just got it back from some warranty work. There were odds and ends that needed fixed. A leaky window. A broken drawer. The worst was a screw that backed its way out through the outside wall. Everything has been repaired and seems to be good as new.

Great video. I have a 2012 F150 with a 5 liter V8 bad am trying to decide what is the best camper for just 2 people. We are using a R-Pod 190 and are not happy with the build quality as you mentioned in your previous video. We are interested in the same trailer you bought XLS 22MLE, but are concerned our truck with have problems. I’m curious, what engine and transmission does your F150 have? How well does it pulls this trailer on the highway? Are you able to go 70? What type of gas mileage are you getting? Thanks!

@LandlockedLovebirds 2 года назад

Hey Mitchell. We have a 2020 3.5 liter ecoboost 4x4. The truck is rated to tow up to 10,500lbs and has a max payload of 1865 lbs. I run 65-67 with comfort, as long as winds are calm. The trailer does move the truck around a bit. We weighed the rig at local cat scales, and we were up against the payload limit, as both axles of the truck were near their max. I’d like to move to a 3/4 ton but just haven’t been able to justify it yet with the amount we use the trailer. Hope that helps.

I didn't notice.. does the shower have a recirculating valve to put the hot water back into the tank until it shows up hot? A great option to keep from wasting water while boondocking.

@LandlockedLovebirds 2 года назад

I don’t believe so. The shower is close to the water heater though, so the run is short. You will lose a bit down the drain each use though.

Is it a problem walking by the foot of the bed every time you go in and out of the door? Seems the bedspread would get in the way/dirty.

@LandlockedLovebirds 2 года назад

It hasn’t been an issue for us at all. The space between the bed and the dinette bench is sufficient. There is a curtain that you can pull in front of the bed, should you choose, but we don’t ever use it. I’ve not seen anyone else complain about the bed/door location in forums and such either, that I can think of.

@frankdijoseph1964 3 года назад

Can you provide the locations of AC outlets? They are not shown on the floor plan (except for those by the bed). Great video, thanks much.

@LandlockedLovebirds 3 года назад

There is one in the dinette bench. One under the cabinets next to the fridge and one on the other end of the cabinets. Each bed cubby has one, and I think there’s one on each nightstand by the bed too. And one in the bath. There’s also one outside near the middle of the trailer and one in the pass through by the control panel I think that’s it.

@davidcarbary1449 3 года назад

what do you both do for a living as to travel all the time USA camping and the international

@LandlockedLovebirds 3 года назад

Hey David. We have very normal jobs. I (Darren) work in banking, and Stephanie used to work in news, but now works in communications for a private company. For our international travel, we find creative ways to earn credit card miles, and have flown to Europe and elsewhere for nearly free several times. We’ve made a few videos on that topic. Beyond that, we work hard, live frugally, and save as much as we can in hopes of retiring as early as possible but also enjoying life along the way. We each just have 3 weeks of vacation per year, but we try to at least take a 10 day or longer trip every year.
