Grand Design has built a reputation for quality construction and thoughtful design, and the Imagine travel trailer lineup is a strong example of both. Spanning three sub-lines in the AIM, XLS, and standard Imagine, it covers everything from ultra-compact trailers towable by a mid-size SUV to large, family-sized rigs pushing 37 feet. Today, we’re giving you an overview of the most popular used Grand Design Imagine floorplans.
Key Takeaways
- The Imagine’s lineup ranges from under 18 feet to 37 feet.
- A 200-watt roof-mounted solar panel, 30-amp charge controller, and 12-volt refrigerator come standard across the board.
- The Imagine has a more modern, residential feel.
Defining the Imagine’s Kitchen
Cabinet storage and counter space are ample. Most kitchens feature a stainless steel microwave and sink, and a three-burner range with oven. and several floor plans add a flip-up countertop extension or pull-out pantry.
Some models also include an outdoor kitchen or griddle, which owners consistently say is a standout feature when campground cooking.
What Can You Expect from the Imagine’s Bathroom?
Bathroom placement varies widely across the lineup. Some models put the bath at the rear, others position it mid-trailer to create a walk-through separation between the bedroom and living area, and a handful of floorplans include a walk-through configuration with dual entry doors.
No matter your choice, the bathrooms tend to be a strong point. Most include a residential-style walk-in shower with a skylight, a medicine cabinet, and a power vent fan. Counter space around the sink is adequate on most models, though it varies by floor plan.
How Is the Imagine Built?
The Imagine uses fully laminated aluminum-framed sidewalls with R-7 insulation, and the same laminated construction extends to the rear wall, slideroom endwalls, and slideroom roof. The underbelly is fully enclosed with suspended tanks, a detail that matters for camping in colder conditions.
Grand Design has also third-party tested the Imagine in temperatures ranging from -6°F to over 100°F. The exterior features a gel-coated fiberglass finish, and the roof carries a 12-year warranty. Construction quality is generally regarded as a step above many competitors in the lightweight category, though component and finish quality vary by unit.
What Is Interior Access and Tank Setup Like in the Imagine?
You can access more parts of the Imagine with the slide retracted. Slide rooms house the dinette, sofa, or theater seating. Tank capacities vary by floor plan, though freshwater tanks in the 40-50 gallon range are typical. Like several competitors, some models split gray water between separate kitchen and bathroom tanks, each with its own dump valve, and it is worth factoring in during campsite setup and breakdown.

The Grand Design has earned a loyal following, and it’s easy to see why. The lineup offers more floor plan variety than most comparable lines, a modern interior aesthetic, and construction that holds up well.
