today I'm gonna give you a tour of my grand design reflection 2020 camper I'll share with you what I love a
few things that I just don't like and a couple of problems I've had I am Liz
amazing and welcome to my channel these are exciting times to push past fear
gain confidence and live amazing and I am super excited today because I'm gonna
give you a tour of my home the grand design reflection 260 Rd fifth wheel I'm
gonna share with you what I love what I don't like so much and the problems I've
had with it well the 260 Rd is ideal for a couple or
solo traveler it is just under 30 feet which is really short for a fifth wheel
it is ideal for weekends full timing or even boondocking and as you can see it
has an extra large awning it has super large holding tanks extra storage
capacity and so many features that I'm gonna list them in the comments below
this is my seventh camper and I have come from a camper van and I am
absolutely thrilled okay I know you're anxious to get inside but let me show
you a couple things outside pretty quick in the front storage it is nice and deep
you can see I can hold several cups and cleaning supplies toolbox and I have to
admit I feel a little inadequate with what tools I have I have the basics and
I have a torque wrench so let me know if there's anything that I absolutely
should have with me and then I have a problem I bought the torque wrench the
extension it has this plastic thing that came in it and I think it's from you
know the price tag or whatever but short of burning it how do you get the plastic
thing out of it so that you can use it just let me know I'll be so grateful
thanks this is the pass-through storage it is huge I love how the door is held
up just by magnet so awesome it has motion sensor lights
which is so great but I have not figured out how to organize this space I just
kind of have all this stuff piled here so if you have any ideas if I need bins
or whatever just let me know I love the water system here it's really just a
flick of a switch to go from city water to dry camping and if I'm hooked up to
water right now at the campground which I am if I want to fill my fresh water
holding tank it's really just a flip of a switch it's just super easy these are
my gray and black tank levers right here and then I love this design see how the
hose comes up from underneath so I can close the door without having to house
hanging out so here's an overview of the floor plan you can see nice tall
ceilings beautiful vinyl plank flooring and here's the reason why I bought this
floor plan is I wanted that rear view I knew it was going to be doing a lot of
time staying at campgrounds and if you've ever stayed at campgrounds you
know that your back view is the most important because to your side is
generally your neighbors so you really want to look out the back and that's why
I didn't even want a couch across the back because I wanted to be able to just
relax on the dinette enjoy meals or just put my feet up and enjoy looking out at
the view and I have a pretty good view you can see even through the glare of
the Sun that I have a river back there and there are windows on this side too
on both sides so it's just really lovely now this dinette goes down into a bed
this isn't for families but if you have a an occasional guest or a grandchild
visiting this will go into a twin size bed and there's storage all the way
around this u-shaped dinette so you can really take a lot of stuff plus there
are cabinets above look at that kitchen my goodness all the storage all the
cabinet space all the drawers and the counter space I love what they did with
the faux finish on the counters it's really pretty the drawers are nice and
deep there's plenty of room to keep stuff in
here and there's six of these drawers there is a residential style stove it is
a gas stove but it has the grace that you find and residential it doesn't have
the ugly RV look and there's an oven
microwave and an oversized sink even a spice rack it has a good sized fridge
and next to it is deep pantry space the couch is a full-size couch it has two
recliners and it has bells and whistles it has heat which is so nice and it has
massage they also you can see they each have a cup holder the middle part of the
couch flips down so that you have extra cup holders and a work area I'm afraid I
can't tell you much about the TV because I don't watch TV but I am told it has
lots and lots of features on it and I do know you can watch YouTube on it there's
also a DVD and CD player and it has indoor and outdoor speakers am/fm radio
and here is the control panel where you operate the slides and the awnings and
check your tank levels this unit has one slide and what you're looking at here
with the wood frame is the slide so the couch and the fridge all come in and
with the slide closed when you're driving down the road the counter at
extension flips down and it comes to right about where the trashcan is so
what that does is it does close off the stairway and I thought well is this
going to be a problem if I'm driving you know cross-country and I want to
stop and use the bathroom so high timed it do you know it's only
twenty or thirty seconds to open and close the slide so it really is not a
big deal well I love my bathroom I'm in heaven
remember I came from a campervan I didn't even have a bathroom counter and
I had a medicine cabinet half the size of what I have now now I have this huge
medicine cabinet a counter drawers a cupboard under the sink plus a big linen
closet I have a full-size shower and it has a
skylight and a squeegee door so what that is is that it squeegees the water
off when you open it and this is my linen closet a lot of people don't
realize that when you go full-time you have to bring your whole medical
supplies with you your sick bay everything that you need you know in
case you get sick or you get insect bites you know extra supplies so you
really need a lot of bathroom storage well the bedroom is amazing it has a
residential queen-size bed not the RV Queen but a regular residential
full-size queen there's a nightstand on both sides and there's overhead storage
and the entire under the bed is storage there's also a shelf in the back for
knickknacks there's some USB ports plenty of outlets plus there is a
good-sized wardrobe and deep drawers well I'm sure you can tell I just love
love love my grand design 260 rd reflection 5th wheel but there are just
a few minor things that I am not thrilled about and here they are well
I'm not super loving this glass stovetop I don't really use the counter space
that much although I do occasionally I'm thinking about taking it off the reason
why I don't like it is because it's glass so it's so hard to keep clean I
find it just too high-maintenance for me you know if I did permanently take it
off I am not sure if this is going to look okay back here with it off and
probably when I'm traveling I'm gonna have to take the grates and put them
somewhere because they might bounce out another option tell me what you think
about this idea is what if I put contact paper on here and got some nice contact
paper and attached it on here so that's a thought let me know what you think so
another thing that I'm not too fond of is the height of the table it just feels
too high so I'm pond what if I took these table legs and cut
them shorter I guess I could just get a hacksaw what do you think is this
something that I could do or should I beat should I just hire it out so the
other thing I don't like is how this faucet in the bathroom is too short so I
end up washing my hands pressing my hands at the back of the sink and then
getting water all over the counter so do you think this is something I can do
myself can I switch out a faucet or is that something where I need to get
somebody in to do okay so I did have a couple problems since I bought the fifth
wheel so one of the problems I had was with the stovetop the actual top here
can you see these grooves right here I actually took a series of photos because
this showed up at just a few weeks after buying it and just got worse and worse
and I sent photos to grand design and you know what they did they just sent me
a new one I didn't even have to go to a dealer so I have a new top and all I
have to do is find a handyman to replace it and that's it super easy well most
people know that mattresses and RVs are generally not the best quality
however mine although it was comfortable it cratered in like about a month so
grand design gave me a generous credit to a new mattress and now I'm super
thrilled and here's the thing again I didn't have to go to a dealer I just
sent them a photo and they took care of it
