New to the GD Brand, excited to get out there again

[RustyOTool]

Greetings all! Been camping in its various forms for many decades but only just a few days ago went truly legit with a brand new camper: Imagine 23LDE. Loved the layout, hoping the best from assembly and quality and so forth. GD reputation is good but not sure I saw that in quality of construction yet, some sloppiness - we'll see how she holds up. Nothing broken yet, so no requests - although i do expect I'll be replacing my rear steps with a lower profile option so as not to scrape bottom on low clearance items (like my driveway). Open to suggestions there. Also looking at a camera (eventually). Towing with a newer F150, I should be ok, I'll use an Anderson WD hitch and maybe some airbags in the back. Open to suggestions there too. Oh - and I miss the propane fridges. Is it me or did humanity take a backward step with the 12Vs?

All for now. Looking forward to our fun on the road!

Welcome to the forum fellow New Hampshirite. Your toy list is impressive. Hope you enjoy the new Imagine. Check back if you need help with anything.

Welcome and congrats! We immediately noticed the high humidity of the fridge too. It seemed like it closed correctly but for the heck of it I loosened and readjusted the doors and somehow it solved the humidity problem. Apparently it wasn't sealing properly before. Might try that and see if it makes a difference. I find that it runs so cold we have to turn ours down to the lowest setting. But I love the 12V feature over propane/electric now that we have plenty of off-grid capacity.

Great tip on the fridge, and thanks for the welcome wishes. We'll check back in once I start doing some mods - maybe I'll post some pics for others to learn from my almost-certain mistakes...!
