So we moved from a 2011 Jayco Jayfeather X18D hybrid camper (which we used for 8 years) to a 2020 Grand Design 2670MK. This is a major change in campers for us!
We really liked the layout with the front living area quite spacious, a nice sized bathroom, and comfortable sleeping area. The island sink area is a nice touch. And the orientation of the 2 recliners to the "pop-up" TV is great.
Things we've noticed on a first campout:
1) The black water valve is stuck in an "open" position, which I discovered as it all came gushing out at the state park dump. I am not pleased with the extended cable system they use for opening and closing the valves and am currently researching how to address the issue so unexpected discharges never happen again.
2) The TV was replaced when we purchased the camper. The tech installed the HDMI cable to the TV, but not to the Jensen CD/DVD player built into the cabinet. We were utterly unable to determine where the HDMI "in" on the stereo unit is. It's a rats nets of wires behind the stereo unit and unable to determine where to plug in the HDMI cable. Will have to a trip to the RV dealer to address a problem that should have not happened.
3) The recliners are nice but we'd just as soon have a love seat that converts to a bed instead. We plan to camp with our grown kids at some time. One will get the table bed area. The other will have to sleep on the recliner. Though comfortable for watching TV, not so much for a good nights sleep. We may eventually replace the recliners with a sleeper sofa instead.
4) When both slide outs are "in" the camper, you cannot access the kitchen or fridge. You can access the bathroom and sleeping area though. So if you pull off to the side of the road for a pit stop. You can use the restroom but if you want to access the kitchen to make lunch, you have to extend the kitchen side of the unit to access the refrigerator.
5) When winterizing the unit, it's a multiple step affair. You have to access the hot water heater by removing a drawer from the desk and then, with a flash light, flip the valves to bypass the hot water heater. Then on the other end, you have to unscrew multiple screws in the storage area to access the bypass valve so you can then draw up RV antifreeze and run it thru the system. It's a somewhat tedious process but not difficult once you understand it.
6) Did I mention the black water valve was stuck in the "open" position and unable to be closed? It was unpleasant experience when we went to dump. Yep...
7) The mattress in the sleeping area is really firm. We added 1 1/2" memory foam topper to soften it a bit. Probably a 2" toper would be better. Makes a difference.
8) The unit has a ton of storage nooks which is nice. The bathroom has a lot of storage and a shower an average person can actually use.
9) Pulling this rig takes a larger truck. We had a Toyota Tundra with the 5.7L engine and that seemed to small. We up sized to a Nissan Titan XD with the 5L Cummins Diesel engine. 390 HP and 550 lb-feet of torque. That is a minimum set up I'd recommend.
10) I do notice sway more on this rig than I did on our Jacyo Jayfeather X18D. Perhaps it's because the Jayco was 18' long and the GD 2670MK is 30 feet long. The weight distribution hitch we use (with built in sway control) works ok, but I'm not overwhelmed by how well it controls sway.
