Hi all.
My wife, two dogs and I have camped for about a week in our Imagine 2600RB and have really enjoyed it. I had to adjust the dead bolt and also r&r'd a storage compartment lock but the trailer was otherwise perfect.
In my opinion, the trailer is built to be light, structurally strong, well thought out and inexpensive.
The fridge, stove/oven, gas/electric hot water heater, porcelain toilet, furnace and a.c. are all brand names and work great. The micro wave, radio/dvd, interior and exterior speakers and t.v. work but are cheap and I anticipate upgrading them. The L.E.D. interior and storage compartment lights are bright. The main lighting inside is sometimes too bright for me and it would be nice if they were dimmable-picking nits. The motion sensors on the storage compartment lights and the light just inside the entrance door are thoughtful touches. The interior furniture is sturdy, looks good and works well. Exterior and interior hardware, cabinets, toilet, frame, rubber roof, slide out mechanism, awning and ladder are all good quality and attractive. The tires and aluminum rims are nice and the nitrogen in the tires a bonus-I haven't had to adjust air pressure in the almost 3 months I've owned the trailer. The shower is large, the shower door functional but fragile looking. We love the cubbies holes next to the shower, where we keep rolled-up clean towels, etc. The vanity and medicine cabinet and bath room are attractive and roomy. There is a wall switch for the vent fan above, great for the vertically challenged. The exterior and interior lighting, switches, converter, monitor panel, roof vents/fans, and faucets are standard stuff seen throughout the industry-functional but not flashy. The stainless steel sink is huge and comes with a nice cover to increase counter space. I plan on replacing the ceiling vent/fan above the stove with an automatic remote Fan-Tastic. The dog bowls in the drawer below the fridge look like a good idea but we've been taking the bowls out when using them as we're afraid we'll stomp on/kick the open drawer and break it. Even with the slide in there's enough room to access everything except the bedroom so if we pull into a narrow parking space we don't have to deploy the slide out to enjoy a quick lunch, pit stop or trip to the fridge. I love the exterior hook-ups for electric, water and sewer, as well as the black water clean out connection. There is plenty of light available for hitching and hookups. The front pass through storage is huge as are its' openings. There's also plenty of interior storage. Just as you enter, there's a cubbyhole above and to the right for flashlights, etc. and one below right for shoes-great idea. The kitchen is well organized-the heated recliners keep me and the dogs out of Mama's way while she's cooking and the dinette gives her a place to do her crossword puzzles while I'm watching t.v.. The bedroom is just right, with walk arounds for any early morning trips and small shelves and a.c. outlets built in next to the head of the bed-perfect for a clock radio or my c-pap machine. The windows are nice and seem sturdy, the blinds functional but look like they should be handled with care. The L.P. tanks have an automatic changeover regulator but the way the l.p. hose comes through the frame below requires the regulator be mounted backwards, facing the trailer, making it difficult to see and operate. The electric tongue jack looks cheap but works. The scissors jacks are sturdy and work well. I installed the Fusion backup camera-got it cheap on line, but the jury is still out on whether I like it enough to mess with it. My wife still stands out back when I back in and it's as much distracting as helpful while driving. I also wish the camera were wired to the running lights rather than on all the time-I may change the wiring. Our Imagine's front lower cap is aluminum and already dented from road debris. I would love a diamond plate lower on the front cap and am passively searching for a place that'll make and install one for a reasonable price. The materials used for the exterior access doors and much of the interior plywood is very thin so as to be light and inexpensive and must be used with care.
We're very pleased with our Grand Design and it has generally exceeded our expectations. It's obvious that Grand Design's management has put much thought into offering an affordable, thoughtfully designed trailer for those who want something a step above entrance level trailers.

......... all kidding aside though, glad you're happy with your trailer. I hope I'm as happy as you are once I buy my 303RLS
