    Maybe grand design messed up the frame at :20 and then as you went down the road it got worse, now the damage is spreading to the cabinets. Might want to get a frame inspection. You also added all that weight with solar and batteries. There is already history of other 2024 Grand design reflections failing. I’m still a little shocked you two got a gd after your solitude failed.

    Well, good morning, I must say the two of you are hilarious. I think it’s amusing and also extremely lovely the way U2 flirt with each other and Bantanta back-and-forth. You can tell that the two of you still love each other or are in love. I hope you both have a great day. Enjoy the road trip, try not to have the road smashed the camper

    We have a reflection too. We always level side to side before disconnecting. Then we put the same number of blocks under the front jacks as we used under the tires on that side. Then hit auto level. Make sure someone aligns the bocks under the front jacks as they descend. Works pretty much every time, or it’s close.

    Definitely agree took the same tour of Graceland cost us $10 to park to go to the gift shop! Crossed the road to get a glimpse of his home but the area wasn’t what I pictured 😳 Between Memphis & Nashville we stopped a Hurricane Hills saw Loretta Lynn’s Home for Free was a fun stop! Never A Dull Moment On The Road Have Fun During Your Shake Down First Couple Hundred Miles. Don’t Ever Change Kept Me Smiling All 17+min of the Vlog! Happy Travels All The Best! Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed.

      It’s crazy how we expect one thing - Graceland in the middle of a city?
      I’ll have to look of Loretta Lynn’s home - maybe next time. Free is great 😁
      Appreciate you sticking around for the whole video - really helps the channel - we try to keep people laughing.
      Thanks again - not a fan of “runnin and gunnin” but we are seeing some cool stuff 🤗

    Im glad Graceland wasn't that expensive in thelate 70's when we went. Im also frustrated with the fact that the newer 5th wheels have a butt load of quality issues. Makes me really glad we have a tow behind!

    • @DownsizingMakesCents
      @DownsizingMakesCents  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Deb, maybe the price is why it wasn’t busy?
      I agree - quality is down from years ago

    We've been on that highway. It broke our bedroom window in our other 5th wheel 2 years ago! Nice state, horrible I-40. I'm looking forward to your Hot Springs video. That's one on our list. Great video, I love your humor. My wife and I go back and forth like that!

    • @DownsizingMakesCents
      @DownsizingMakesCents  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Lane, knowing RVs have to go on bad highways, they should be built to handle it.
      If you camp at Gulpha Gorge, it’s a short drive to the springs.
      And thanks (can you imagine if all 4 of us hung out 😆)

    My aunt is a hardcore Elvis fan... We did splurge and have a great time. However, that was before I owned an RV.
    My cabinets also collapsed. I've yet to fix them but was disappointed. With the empty space Underneath the bottom of the cupboard, you'd think they would add some support.
    I feel inside the door they should state maximum weight.
    I do want to add the famous piano hinges to the top and just open it from the top and secure those doors. Please share what you did to repair. Or secure the bottom of the cupboards.

    • @DownsizingMakesCents
      @DownsizingMakesCents  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Jeanette,
      We aren’t huge fans - so no splurge
      And you are right - empty under thin cupboard bottom with no support
      We only did a temp fix - we will probably show it in next vlog

      Oh, that ditch in Montana was sooo much worse.
      Having the camping side where the door was made the decision easy.

    omg, laughed so hard at seeing the cooking! Never saw your cooking before. We had a 5th wheel with the manual landing gear. Got rid of it because it drove us so crazy. Just keep track of your tire chocks when parked and f'ng around with leveling!!

    • @DownsizingMakesCents

    Great video Larry and Alice! You had me laughing hard at you both. You are so great together. Love you bunches. Keep making me laugh. I love it. I was in Memphis but West Memphis Tennessee not too far from the mansion. But I was there at the zoo which was fun. I also went to Loretta Lynn’s dude ranch. That was free unless you bought souvenirs. Oh no another damage to your Rv. What are you going to do? I know you fixed it temporarily. I agree with you on the manufacturer thing. Miss your vlogging today. Hope you are ok! And Happy Father’s Day Larry! Love you both stay safe and safe travels. See you soon!

      We did a temp fix - it will be shown in next vlog.
      You may be the first person to mentioned we missed our Sunday release day 😆

      Brett, we did a full tour of a Brinkley
      I wanted to downsize from our Solitude - the Reflection isn’t as wide or tall. Also, not as heavy.
      Frankly, Brinkley has crappy plumbing just like our Reflection
      Hope you don’t have any more issues. They are pretty and I hope this new company will have great customer service
