Checked out a Vibe 26RK, Mallard M25,Grand Design Imagine
I must say, I don't get the hype about the Imagines. After walking through the Vibe and opening and closing cabinets, etc, the Grand Design felt flimsy to me. I opened one cabinet door and it wouldn't shut afterwards. It also had a very odd odor in it for being new. Little things go a long way on a first impression. The Mallard M25 was pretty nice, just not the right floor plan for us. I really liked the very curved roof.
A lot of positives on the Vibe. We liked the small dorm style frig and slide out convection cook top outside. The cabinets were real wood and the drawers themselves were all a type of plywood on metal roller sliders. The oversized 12V frig is awesome. Unless those are absolutely junk for some reason, I think that's the only kind I will buy in our next trailer, which will probably be in the next few months. Tons of storage, huge tv that you can watch unobstructed from the recliners. Decent bath, great bedroom with a closet. It just felt really good inside, one of those things you don't know until you're in them.
Negatives for me, roof was only slightly curved/arched. Big windows behind the dinette and couch don't open. Piece of **** mattress, which is odd considering all the videos showed a Denver Mattress or Evergreen Mattress. The salesman said it had to do with Covid supply and demand. This one weighs 6348 unloaded, a tad on the heavy side for my taste. We were at the Camping World in Hope Mills (Fayetteville) NC.
Any other ideas for similar trailers we should check out? I also really like the Vibe 24RL, but it's nowhere near North Carolina.
