Long time RVer; starting to look at a towable to replace a Winnebago View. We've been very pleased with the View, but our style of travel is evolving. We are focused on the Imagine XLS 17MKE. We definitely want to stay small and really like the floorplan.
We plan to use the trailer to travel nationwide and to Alaska and possibly the Maritime Provinces. We would be using a properly equipped 2018 GMC Sierra but that could evolve with our needs down the road. As a point of reference, a small Airstream would be suited to the travel we intend to do. My question of GD owners here would be: Is the 17MKE up to the task I'm asking it to do? It seems that tank capacities are better suited to extended use than most brands. I would add a modest solar setup, and would carry a portable generator in my truckbed for air conditioning and battery charging needs. I would also consider adding Goodyear Endurance tires and a TPMS system.
I'm looking at having a build with the dinette. Does anyone have a 20 or 21 with the dinette? It seems no dealer wants to stock it that way, but the sleeping option the dinette offers is a must for us.
We are used to traveling with minimalist gear, so we don't feel the small size is a detriment at all! Interested in hearing comments!
