We just purchased the Imagine 2250RK since the kids are moved on and its usually just my wife and I. I tend to modify almost everything I own to improve it, so this is a clean slate for me! In my last RV I added lighting and awning automation with google voice commands, and created storage where there was only dead space. Here's a link to the video I made for selling; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6uUon7DXaI&t=36s
It's only been a few weeks and I've made some minor improvements for the 2250RK (pictured below) like added black abs plastic shelf inserts to hold the little things in the kitchen shelves, changed out the frosted glass window in the door to the Lippert glass window with shade, added pull-out trash, change the normal battery to a 200AH AGM battery and mounted it inside the storage compartment where I'll add solar controllers later (the battery would not fit in the new large box so it just holds my chocks and a couple tools), smoothed all the rough corners on the cabinet handles, and added a TV to the bedroom. Next is a Surge Guard model 35530 that will mount just inside the plugin in spot for shore power under the stove and next to the water heater, and the panel for the display will go on the next to the heater vent under the stove. I'll also add high power fog lights as reverse lights. In the last RV I had to run a wire all the way from the hitch, hoping I son't have to do that here. Then I will add the rear view camera from Haloview. Then I will change the 20 gallon lp tanks to 30 with a new cover, add the tire pressure monitoring, and make the RV self leveling with the Lippert™ 672136 Ground Control® TT Kit, add a warm bidet, solar panels, Lippert Components 696740 Road Armor Tandem Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit, sound bar for the TV, and other stuff.
Sounds like alot, but this is part of the fun of owning an RV for me. I enjoy doing these things and now that I have a Grand Design, I feel like I'll have the quality I want with all the bells and whistles of the manufacturers that skimp on quality to add features. In the process, I'm finding some minor workmanship issues, but I realize they are assembling these things as fast as they can.
I will try to share my progress as I go along.
