🛣️Stan and Rhonda from Over The Hill Adventures continue west across the country in their Grand Design Imagine 2500RL when they run directly into a major storm. They pull off the road just in time for a night stay at the Elk City/Clinton KOA in Foss, Oklahoma off the Interstate 40. Rhonda was resting and recovering from the intense travel day when she was surprised by a very unsuspecting visitor. The next morning, Rhonda shares a travel day time saving tip as they go to the local Walmart to do a shopping pick up for the first time with their RV. Come with Stan and Rhonda as they face a dilemma with what seemed to be no way out.

That spider! I probably would have squished it, but it was nice you let it go. Both the new RVs look nice. We have a Sabre, can't remember what model, 5th wheel with rear living, middle bunk room, upper loft, and king bedroom. After having previous RVs this is our favorite. We love the rear living room. The extra bedrooms are nice as our daughters and grandchildren often go with us. We have even had our sons stay, too. We can sleep about 8 people comfortably. But a toy hauler would be nice for the bikes. I just don't care for the living room area as much as a rear living.

I can empathize with Stan on not hearing everything correctly. I became deaf when I was 45 years old. That spider scared me but Stan saved you! We would have set it free too. We believe in diversity of the ecosystems. We passed by a Buckee’s on our way home from Florida last year, but didn’t stop. 😢

Hi Claudia, I’m so sorry to hear about your hearing loss. Stan’s is due to his line of work in law enforcement and the tinnitus has gotten so bad. Fortunately, the hearing aids have been a game changer for him. 🙌 Stan did save the day! I couldn’t even think straight, lol! Definitely get a Buc-ee’s stop in this summer! We appreciate you, Claudia! ❤️ Rhonda and Stan

Hi Guys! We have the sticker map on our slide and we really love it. We received a scratch off map as a gift, and agree it is very messy! Not always practical, but loved the thought behind it. What a big spider, that would have scared me (Lareka) too! We can't imagine being able to go through a drive thru pharmacy hooked up. That was awesome! We just went to our first Buc-ee's ever in Texas City, Texas. We really enjoyed it. As always, thanks for the great video! We love watching your adventures! Stay safe! 💚

Thanks for the speedy response. We found that the Alaska Highway had good and bad spots, but we just took it easy were needed and watched out for the frost heaves. They do a great job of marking them with a flag or cone. We had very good weather which would make a big difference if it was wet I'm sure. Some people don't slow down as much as they should resulting in things breaking. Let me know if I can help you prepare if you decide to that that journey. We met up with Rving to Alaska at there annual rally. They have great content for traveling Alaska as well as Keep your daydream channel. Safe travels!!

When just stopping to use the bathroom, the problem is the water pump switch is on the control panel by the back door and bathroom access is from the front door. I realized the Compass Connect App lets you turn on and off the water pump from your phone. Works great! Don’t have to open the back door.

We love our Imagine 2250 RK, you have access to the whole trailer and it’s great for traveling to state and national parks. And our Reflection 337 RLS we can get to the bathroom, refrigerator and climb over the bed if need to. But, a slide has to come out to eat in the rv on travel days. We had a large Jayco Toyhauler before these two, it was nice but wanted a larger living room since our kids were no longer going with us.

Just hold tight. I know you're going the opposite direction but they just broke ground for a new Buc-ee's at Interstate 40 Airport Boulevard in Amarillo. It's across from the visitor center. When we were at The Visitor Center last fall they was digging up the ground online it says they're going to open February 2025. But that seems like a awfully long time period so next time you head east on I-40 you may be seeing Buc-ee's

Have you guys ever thought about getting a Berkey? We bought the travel size and use it at home and in our home on wheels. I would say keep what you have. The smaller 5th wheel just has more height with cabinet that are way up high where you will need a step ladder to get to them.

That sure was a drive. And that sure was a spider too! That would have lit one of us up pretty well :) We release the critters too - just seems like the right thing to do. In terms of our 2500rl - I think we are going to have this for a few more years at least - I have it setup almost perfectly for our boondocking requirements now and just can't see going through that again soon. But I think for sure we will be doing some kind of an upgrade in a few years... Great job again on this video we really look forward to your content- safe travels.

First the spider would have terrified my wife. Second the 2500RL is great in travel mode. Third did you make any video showing how you secure the bikes? Fourth we traded our 2500RL in for Brinkley Z3100. You can put a bike rack on the back hitch point. The payload of your 3/4 ton is way too low for a toy hauler. The pin weight would exceed your payload. It's hard to find tri-tip in the Midwest. That's a west coast thing.
@OverTheHillAdventures
@OverTheHillAdventures 3 месяца назад
Man!! I’m sorry you left the Grand Design family. Well technically you didn’t cause Brinkley all came from Grand Design. I know exactly the one you have. Very nice! Will disclose our new rig in a couple of weeks. Can’t celebrate until it’s in the RV Garage. Safe travels in your new rig!

@robertcolpitts4534
@robertcolpitts4534 3 месяца назад
Great video, y'all! The Amarillo Buc-ee's will be the first and only one in the Texas Panhandle. When you look at fifth-wheels (commonly known as 5ers), you will be restricted to trailers with a GVWR less than 12,000#. Take the 5er tow rating of the truck and multiply that number by 75% to 80%. That will be the more realistic tow rating for your truck. If the weights go over that, you need a larger truck (i.e., a 3500 SRW or a DRW). Using a general "Rule-of-Thumb" for estimating the pin-weight of a given 5er at 20% to 22% of the trailer's GVWR, a 5er with a GVWR of 11,000# will have a pin weight of between 2200# and 2420#. Next, weigh your loaded-for-travel truck (with everything you will be carrying in the truck when you head down the road + full diesel and DEF tanks) at a C.A.T. Scale at a local truck stop. Subtract the total weight of the truck (front axle weight + rear axle weight = truck weight) from the truck's GVWR and you have your actual remaining payload. Then and only then look at 5ers. The 2500 HD trucks really aren't suitable for towing large 5ers though many do it. You're at the upper limit of the actual capabilites of the truck's suspension. A smaller 5er would probably work just fine. Also, be careful making modifications to the truck's or trailer's suspension to improve the ride. You could be voiding the manufacturer's warranty without realizing it. Perhaps keeping what you have is a better idea. Safe travels and God bless y'all! Bob and Dottie

Hello Bob and Dottie, the truth is we already sold our Imagine 2500RL. We are definitely not going big but we bought a 5th Wheel. We will come out with it in a couple of weeks. You know with my background I’m a stickler about weight. Thank you for all the great knowledge. More folks need to understand payload. Rest assured I’m with in the numbers. I am very familiar with C.A.T. Scales. As a matter of fact our total length will be same. Thank you for joining us! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda

We thought about getting a 5er but our new friend "Arthur Itis" is messing with our knees so the fewer the steps, the better. Dottie loves the 5th-wheels but a larger travel trailer will do just fine in her book. We'll probably just stay with what we have for the time being. Safe travels and God bless y'all! Bob and Dottie

We are older and not real computer savvy but we are not dummies either😂😂😂 We have not traveled in about 3 years. We sold our big rig and thought we were done but got the itch and saw your review of the Grand Design and we bought the 2600. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. Sandy

Hello Sandy, thank you for joining us! So far knock on wood, We have been able to use our Verizon Hot Spot on our cell phones. The huge thing that most people are using on the road is STARLINK. It is the fastest WiFi for travelers. It’s not cheap. I have good things about WeBoost. That is basically a signal booster. We will continue to use our Verizon Hot Spot on our phones. We get 5G mostly every where. We had a little hard time in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. Those folks up there are wonderful people but don’t believe in cell service. lol 😂. Hope this helps! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda❤️🙏🏼

Hello Imogene! Thank you for your help on trying to identify this spider! We had put that video clip on our Facebook and Instagram and a lot of people said Orb Weaver?? We had never heard of one, but when I looked it up it's very possible that is what it was. Regardless, I am grateful this all happened in the daytime 😨 We appreciate you reaching out! Blessings, Rhonda and Stan

Hi James, it is good to hear from you! Missed you at the rally. When I did it I one side at a time and one tire at a time. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FixRxvHz5EA.htmlsi=U9bQfOBRjcOzFN7F

No grand design crap! They're having trouble with frame flex due to bad welding and won't stand behind their product. Don't believe me, it's all over youtube. Nice job on the spider!

The grand designs that are having trouble with frame flex are the 40 plus feet 5th wheels. Not the tow behinds,or smaller 5th wheels. So maybe do your research before you comment.

Hi Bert, I appreciate your comment but it is completely false. Grand Design does not make the frames. Lippert makes the frames for Grand Design. Lippert makes just about every frame for every brand. We have witnessed Grand Design fix folk’s rigs on the spot. Unfortunately we only get to see a few on RU-vid that have a bad experience out millions of Grand Design sold in America and Canada. Most of the frame flex are found on the drop frames. Most of them are out of warranty or second and third owners. Here is the problem, there is no control how much folks put in their trailer. Most of them are overloaded. You couple that with going on the highway at 80mph. We appreciate your comment but it is not what it seems. I told one of close friends the exact same thing. We love Grand Design we are buying another one. NOT A DROP FRAME! Unfortunately, Lippert has the monopoly on everything. If they don’t own it they will. Hope this makes sense Bert. If you had a bad experience I am sorry to hear that but it is definitely not the norm for Grand Design. Blessings and safe travels, Stan and Rhonda

@@OverTheHillAdventures Yes, I realize Lippert is the frame maker. I'm getting my info from youtube who has many creators who interviewed many people and it seems only grand design that is having problems. Just be wary is all I'm saying.
