Tour Our Fully Renovated 2021 Grand Design Momentum Toy Hauler!

Come take a tour of our fully renovated 2021 Grand Design Momentum 397TH-R! We purchased this used toy hauler RV in December of 2021 from a private party, and quickly got to work turning it into our home on wheels. We painted pretty much every surface, added real wood finishes, totally transformed the garage into our master bedroom and office, and converted the original master bedroom into our boy's bedroom.
We live and travel in our RV full time, exploring all the amazing places America has to offer. This video was filmed about a month after we started our journey, and as I type this, we have now been on the road for over 5 months! Time sure does fly!
My apologies for the shakiness of the camera and blown out highlights in some spots. We were still learning our new Sony camera, and didn't have the image stabilization turned on.
Here are links to some of the products I mentioned in the video, as well as a link to our Amazon store, where we have many of the items we used in the RV renovation.

Great work! We've been on the road with our family of 4 and dog in a 24' camper van (don't ask me how) and just purchased a truck so we can upgrade to a 5th wheel. This video gives us so many great ideas and inspiration to keep traveling!! Thank you so much for the walkthrough and all the helpful videos showing the work being done.

Hello from the HTSAYTC Group! 10:52 Beautiful cat you have. I had a toy hauler quite a few years ago. I get tempted to buy one again someday. The "toy" area makes a perfect office space / rec room when you have one with a separate "garage" like you have.

When you put your target coat rack up in the master bedroom what type of screws did you use to screw into the outside wall? My hubby is nervous to screw into the exterior wall! Also how did you hang your Turkish towel holder with the pocket door behind it in the main bathroom?

Subscribed! My wife and I are planning to do full time RV for 1-2 years as we monitor housing market. You have a beautiful setup and I’m hopeful we can ask several questions as we enter this new life. First step, selecting a toy hauler. Any thoughts on why you selected Momentum over other brands/models? We are torn between the Momentum 350G, 320G, 340M and Raptor 352, Fuzion 373 and Fuzion Impact 359. Must be under 40’. ;)

@McVeyMcFarm Жыл бұрын

Awesome! Y’all are going to love it! What made it helpful for us was touring different models and looking at the fit & finish. At the time, we were considering Grand Design Momentum’s, Alliance, and DRV. Ultimately, the layout of the 397th was best for us, so that is what we went with. This was also during a time where rigs were hard to come by (end of 2021). All things considered, every rig will have problems and knowing how to fix most of them will come in handy while full-timing. Make sure you’ve got a good set of tools you can take with you and some spare parts and you should be golden!!! Good luck and don’t hesitate to reach out with more questions!

We're close to capacity. We're really careful about what we bring in now, and have sent items back to our parents' houses when they've visited us on the road. I would advise you not to add too much wood, because that's where most of our weight was added.

It was more to help keep it from banging forward into the door on travel days. We had the strap screwed into the wall, but it pulled loose after a couple months, and we never replaced it. It's been fine without it.
