Hey! to the Grand Design Family. My name is Julie and I purchased my 220RK early in the summer of 2018. I looked at several brands with similar floor plans, but the Grand Design is the only one that made me sigh and say "it's so pretty" and gives me great pride and contentment every time I walk in the door. I love love love it. It is parked in my front yard so I can look at it all summer, I am sad when it is in storage for the winter. The last few summers during covid were frustrating. Now, with the influx of new RV owners, campgrounds are crazy busy in our area and sites are hard to get. I now spend the winter booking my sites on recreation.gov to guarantee I have an available site. The group site we reserved for our June family camp-out was reserved in November of last year and it was the last available week for that site for the summer. Crazy. I look forward to retirement so I can camp whenever I want. My sidekick is Rudy, a Parson Russell Terrier, and he loves to camp too. He gets very excited when I hook up the camper. My Hubby is not a fan of camping, so I made it a priority to learn to do all of the camper maintenance, setup and take-down myself so I could do it on my own. Next on the list is to master backing it in, my skills can use a lot of work there. I don't have a spotter so it makes it a bit more challenging. I try to troubleshoot issues when they come up, but often need to reach out. That is why I value the been there, done that, feedback from the experts like you. Thank you for being there..

Julie, We're glad you joined us, and we're here to help if you run into any issues.
You're spot on about how hard it is to get a campsite reserved. One of the ways we get around this is to boondock when permissible. If you are ever in Arizona in February, be sure to join us at the GDRV Quartzsite rally. Ginnie and I host it, and the focus is on learning how to dry camp without hookups.
