Grand Design Imagine XLS 24BSE
Sticker was $46,771 in 2024. Out of production since 2024, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2024 unit.
dry weight 5,923 lb + fresh water (37 gal, full) 309 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb (capped at its own rating). Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 24BSE's published weights held steady.
