Yes on the process to build. So excited for you both and your friends to come together and do this. Your process of solving the problems with life have been helpful in keeping us other retired peeps stay calm and know things will work out. Keep us posted.
Well, I'm glad for you. Just reading between the lines.... sounds like you and GD came to an amiable agreement on the 5th wheel settlement, which included no more fallout commenting or discussion on the design and fabrication issues. I get it, you've go to take care of yourself, minimize your losses and move on with life. I wish you all the best. And, being a retired engineer, yes, I'd love to follow up on the construction and implementation of your projects. Take care....Don in NW Florida.
Would love to see the RV park and storage facilities processes, and progress builds, keep those videos coming...and let us in on the new possible rig, Wink Wink.
I see you have a bottle of diesel additive in the console. Is that to prevent another possible fuel system disaster? I’ve used additive since day one despite the naysayers. Also definitely document your progress with the RV Storage 👍🏼
Such an anticlimactic end to this saga! I assume an nda kept you from saying more, I sure hope Grand Design compensated you properly for all they put you through. At this point, I've read and watched SO much about gd that, nda or not, I can read between the lines. We were basically at the closing table with a gd toy hauler, but backed out and went with a different brand, and I'm glad we did. I have zero trust in gd, not just from stories of broken rigs, but from how they've handled it, and how they've chosen to do business. This whole hush-hush, no acknowledgment, customer nda's, etc just isn't a business model I want to contribute to or be a part of. Hope the best for y'all in your new ventures!
For those enclosed 60 footers consider garage doors at both ends for some subset of bays. For those wanting the full 60 feet you could up charge for the convenience of drive through parking. For smaller rigs, you could sell two 30 foot slots within a 60 foot bay for more than the cost of the 60 foot bay. I would be very interested in the details behind such a project. A couple years back I was looking for a FL lot where I could get electric/septic-sewer/water/Internet for parking my RV when visiting FL. I love many features of FL but insurance and property tax rates are not on my list of reasons to live in FL. I was thinking of limiting modifications to a small screened-in enclosure (HATE THE BUGS) with some sort of enclosure canopy to shed the rain. With such an inexpensive structure I would only be concerned with liability insurance to cover someone hurting themselves on the property and hopefully property tax would be close to the tax of raw land.
Giddy up Geoff and start doing what makes you happy in life. the projects are great for you to be working on and not have to worry about that trailer it's a Grand Disaster. g
Best of luck with the new ventures. you should film it for sure. It may give some folks an appreciation of what it takes to run a park or storage.... In regards to the park. Are you going to cater to seasonal rentals or 6-6 like seemingly every other park in Florida does or are you going to have spaces for travelers?
Yes, I think it would be interesting to watch the progress of your new adventure. You may want to connect with the RV odd couple, they have their Thunder Canyon park? They may have some insight for your plans? Best wishes! Congratulations 🎉
"take the money and run".... great song.... glad it worked out for you... sucks to be a GD owner limpit frame owner... bad news coming for those folks. imho😂🎉
I’m so glad this is finally over. You divorced your rig! Go team Brinkley. I’m not in position to buy land and do what you are doing but I’m jazzed! I definitely will follow you on this new adventure/venture. I’m paying $350 for indoor storage. I’d like to see more of this type storage. Mine is in a large warehouse where the company went kaput during covid.
i remember back in college i broke up with my "forever love"... Devastated i spent the night chugging my favorites: Jim, Jack, Johnny, Chivas... some strange Turkey stuff... i ended up barfing in a bucket i had laying around... Does that count as a bucket list item?😂.... glad yer moving on. 🎉
Did Grand Design compensate you for your RV when you decided to part ways? Did you sign a Non Disclosure contract? I enjoyed your channel. I wish you the best in your new adventures in Rv park and storage projects.
It be interesting to know what it takes to get a rv park/campground off the ground and just how difficult it will be to realize a return on the investment.
Your adventure sounds interesting. You could try it here and see what feedback you get, and if your channel grows. Did you just have to eat that Grand design? That would really stink, take care of
I just watched the video from six months ago about the 17 frame breaks that were repaired, and was surprised how bad the welds were. Now I see this video and had to laugh. It finally fell apart, huh? You sure made a lot of lemonade from the lemons you were dealt! Well done.
Totaled? You didn’t say a word about it. Secondly: you said that you and Grand Design decided to part ways? Were you two in a business relationship? Meaning did they sponsor the channel?
Correct, as I said in the video, prior to the inspection that I received a call to not do an inspection and settle on an arraignment to part ways and the RV is to be retired. Sorry, this all I can say on the matter!
@@MyBucketListDay you replied to me in my other comment that you didn't sign a NDA. But now you say you can't talk about the agreement. Do you know what a NDA is? I wonder?
Hey Larry, I accomplished two goals, acknowledgment there is an issue that can't be repaired and that this RV will never be mine or anyone elses burdin. I call that a win, wouldn't you?
So you traded your soul for a NDA so you CAN'T get into the details to educate others. A few months ago you told us to not buy an RV but now you are building an RV park?? UNSUBSCRIBE.
WOW, so your that kind of person. Have a great life. Keep in mind we will take this country back and we will still welcome you with open arms. This is because we are true American Patriots who believes in a united country.
Sorry. At the very moment; im more interested in what took place with GD. God_what a worthless POS company. After ALL the issues I've heard of about THERE trailera alone. I'm now GLAD I didn't spend the money for a GD. At least a 5th wheel version.
Yes, you made a good call. My apologies, I can't expand any more than I did regarding my conversation with GD except to say this RV is scheduled to be retired.
Yes, please make content about all these new and exciting projects
Considering it...
Yes on the process to build. So excited for you both and your friends to come together and do this. Your process of solving the problems with life have been helpful in keeping us other retired peeps stay calm and know things will work out. Keep us posted.
Yes! Thank you!
Yes on seeing the rv park project! I think it’d be interesting for sure.
Good to know!
Absolutely, show us what you’ve done and what it takes to create these types of projects. I’ll stay tuned.
Considering it...
Would like to see the process of all the builds. Will be down to stay at the park when finished. Stay well

They can’t shut everyone up….
Thanks Don, Considering it...
Congratulations, on your next chapter. I would love to continue to follow you…, love to hear your planning process…
Thank you so much!
Yes keep us informed
Would love to see the RV park and storage facilities processes, and progress builds, keep those videos coming...and let us in on the new possible rig, Wink Wink.
You got it!
Wow storage has great profit margins once the initial costs are covered. Great idea. The RV park will be a gold mine as well.
Fingers crossed!
I see you have a bottle of diesel additive in the console. Is that to prevent another possible fuel system disaster? I’ve used additive since day one despite the naysayers. Also definitely document your progress with the RV Storage 👍🏼
LOL, yes that is exactly what that is for. I'm using HotShot!
That would be interesting to watch and see what is entailed from the beginning

Thank you sir, and yes, it was all I could say! Happy to report that we are thumbs up on the arrangement. Glad your happy with the RV you did get.
Loved the DJT cameo!
Would be interesting to watch the progression of the storage space/permitting etc.

Way ahead of you brother, but thanks for all the interest. I think your going to like what you see.

Yes I'd love seeing what it takes, and how it comes along. Thanks for your story

LOL Grand Disaster. Wish I thought of that!
Thanks

In regards to the park. Are you going to cater to seasonal rentals or 6-6 like seemingly every other park in Florida does or are you going to have spaces for travelers?
There will always be spaces for travelers, over 70%
Yes, I think it would be interesting to watch the progress of your new adventure. You may want to connect with the RV odd couple, they have their Thunder Canyon park? They may have some insight for your plans? Best wishes! Congratulations 🎉

I have having some trouble with Grand design who was helping you at the company?
Please document the process for the RV park.

Definitely YES YES

Yes, keep us updated. Thought you was going to give us more info on the RV Issues.
Considering it... Moved on from the RV issues, enough said!

Now that some funny shit. You must have broken up with my ex, she did the same to me!
@@MyBucketListDay yeah... she got passed around some... that was before the internet so it was 'buyer beware"...
Did Grand Design compensate you for your RV when you decided to part ways? Did you sign a Non Disclosure contract? I enjoyed your channel. I wish you the best in your new adventures in Rv park and storage projects.
I am pretty sure there must be an NDA attach seems pretty par for the course
Just time to move on and get excited to new adventures...
Id love to follow the process for the rv park
Considering it...
It be interesting to know what it takes to get a rv park/campground off the ground and just how difficult it will be to realize a return on the investment.

Love Donald! Yes, would love to see this process.
Considering it...
Those are some sweet properties!! So what exactly is happening to the trailer? Did insurance total it?
I'll fill you in privately on all the details.
Ha, I’m first on the comments. Y’all are buying a Brinkley, right????
LOL, You have to stay tuned until next week for that answer....
I bet he is
Yes. It would be interesting. Thanks
Considering it....
Yes please… considering same
Yes, that would be interesting.
Considering it...
Yes . All of it . I wanna follow that .

Definitely document!

Keep it on the same channel
👍share your new adventurel.
That's the plan!
Your adventure sounds interesting. You could try it here and see what feedback you get, and if your channel grows. Did you just have to eat that Grand design? That would really stink, take care of
Yes, I'll try it here and see the feedback. Couldn't eat the GD, to overdone, had to send it back.
Separate channel for your Rv storage and Rv park ventures. Thx.
Thanks for your feedback
Very cool .
Thanks
So when are you buying your Brinkley?
Not anytime in the next several months. Got other things planned...
I just watched the video from six months ago about the 17 frame breaks that were repaired, and was surprised how bad the welds were.
Now I see this video and had to laugh. It finally fell apart, huh?
You sure made a lot of lemonade from the lemons you were dealt! Well done.
Thanks, appreciate you watching and commenting.
yes please
Considering it...
Very vague, you say in the screen shot and hash tag it was "totaled" who decided it was unrepairable?
When an expert says it's not worth fixing, that means totaled.
Do what you think is right. Whether you do the TH-cam thing or not.
Thanks
Does G-D really think buying people out and keeping it quiet will make the problem go away? Don't think so.
Thanks for your comments.
So what was totaled? You never exponded on it? 😢
I wish I could expand, but the RV is to be retired!
@@MyBucketListDay Im guessing its code for GD stroked a check to make him whole and make this go away...
I much did the insurance company reimburse you for totaling your camper?
No Insurance payout
Jo Jo Land?? Just a thought
It's always JoJo's World
"we've agreed to part ways". Code for I signed an Non Disclosure Agreement.
No on the NDA, yes on a code though
You really need a better audio setup. All your videos your audio is poor and we need to blast the TV.
Totaled? You didn’t say a word about it.
Secondly: you said that you and Grand Design decided to part ways? Were you two in a business relationship? Meaning did they sponsor the channel?
Correct, as I said in the video, prior to the inspection that I received a call to not do an inspection and settle on an arraignment to part ways and the RV is to be retired. Sorry, this all I can say on the matter!

@@MyBucketListDay you replied to me in my other comment that you didn't sign a NDA. But now you say you can't talk about the agreement. Do you know what a NDA is? I wonder?
I think he got bought out by grand design
Hey Larry, I accomplished two goals, acknowledgment there is an issue that can't be repaired and that this RV will never be mine or anyone elses burdin. I call that a win, wouldn't you?
What did you do before retirement, Rob banks, lol? You have deep pockets and/or some big investors. Best wishes in all you do
Ha Ha, Yes friends with money they need to invest before capital gains kicks in.
And the rich gets richer! 😊@@MyBucketListDay
No
OK
@@MyBucketListDay ignore or block that Larry Couch, he was all over my channel spewing as much BS as he could.
