2021 Grand Design Travel Trailer reviews

This is a wonderful travel trailer. Small for a couple with pets. Love the quality, and towability. Customer service is wonderful. Love the outdoor fridge on this model. Grand Design needs to make more with outdoor kitchens with fridges that are not bunk houses. Show less

The MK 2670 has a good floor plan with lots storage. We bought is specifically for the great kitchen design. Our issue has been with the kitchen slide. We had it worked on while it was still under warranty and within a few months it was not working again. It is out of alignment vertically. We attempted to have it repaired again and were told we should try to learn to live with it because even if they repaired it, it would probably break again due to the poor design. It will go in and out, but it won’t go all the way. When the slide is out, there is a gap of 2-3 inches at the bottom. When the slide is in, the same thing happens at the top. Very frustrating!!

Bought this GD 17 MKE after much searching and was very excited when I received possession. My wife and I took a few local trips and was very pleased with the unit until the slide out quit working, it was still under warranty so the dealer replaced both motors, so I thought, no big deal, things happen. Then we decided to make a longer trip from Kentucky to California, about half way there the refrigerator quit working and we had to buy a cooler until we got there where we were able to get it running but we had to bypass some electrical issues but at least it worked temporarily. Then the hot water heated stopped working and is still not working, I replaced the circuit board and it failed too. This means no hot water for showers, doing dishes and other necessities , si it’s still not working. Finally, on our last trip the electric awning quit working, I checked the power and it’s getting power to the motor so I’m pretty sure it’s the motor that’s bad. Since the unit is no longer under warranty, I guess I’m just stuck with it, the dealership says they can fix it but nothing is covered by the warranty. How about it Grand Design, what can I do?

Upon taking delivery of the new trailer in 2021 doors wouldn’t stay shut going down road. Water leaks trim falling off awning leaks refrigerator not working ac not functioning properly furnace cycles constantly Lost electrical inside Dealer couldn’t get to us till august for repairs so year one then year two went by problem kept coming up not done then finally year 3 refrigerator repaired. There are still some things not done. Our selling dealer greenway totally sold us a bill of goods of untruths. Had to go find another dealer to do repairs. All this time we couldn’t use couldn’t sell in the condition it was in. Show less

Pros - tall enough for my 6"2" husband. True queen bed great fit for us. Second entry door in bedroom is nice. Armoire is huge and has mirrors as well as 2 closets (one on either side of bed). Shower fits him comfortably. Pass thru bathroom (2 doors - one at bath/bedroom and one at bath/liviingroom) allows me to get up early and go into the living space without waking him up. Seating is great for entertaining friends - we can sit across from each other. Kitchen layout makes sense and is perfect. Living area has comfy recliners and faces the dinette and TV. Cons - After buying new mattress, not alot of room between end of bed and door. Bathroom sink needs upgrade- can barely wash hands in the low faucet set up. Needs stronger pistons for underbid storage once you upgrade mattress. Thats it! Not many cons. Show less

Every trip a new experience. One problem after another. Dealers always backed up 3 months or more for repairs that never get done. Grand design customer service NEVER calls you back. Flimsy cheaply built unit from bumper to bumper. Toilet empties halfway even tilted on its side hot water heater inop sliding door fell off molding popping all over if not not perfectly level entrance door won’t open or close 2 hoses popped off while camping flooding camper floor and underbelly…. The list goes on. Dont buy one. Winnebago owns them? Hmmm Show less

We are so disapponted in this trailer and Grandma design was suppose to be the best. So many problems to list , first camping trip. Refrigerators door latch broke, shower was not sealed around the top, trim around the bathroom door warped. Had to take back to dealer ship to fix which is not close to where we live. Second year large pan drawer is broke Grand design had sent us two they did not fit. Theater chairs reclining lever broke and theater chairs one no longer works no matter what we do. Owned a joey nomad for 8 years not one problem. I would do anything to have it back. If you are considering a Grand Design take your time to go through everything yourself. Show less

This RV is 38 feet in length and due to it's GVWR of 11295 and UVW of 9484, it would be best to tow with a 3/4 ton truck or bigger. This travel trailer has the bedroom in the front with a full size queen bed, a center island kitchen, and in the rear is the living or entertainment area with a full back picture window. This RV comes with an inverter and converter. Some individuals may say that having a residential frig is a drawback because you can not use propane to cool it, only AC or DC. The water heater is tankless, which is another feature that takes some getting used to because you can only heat the hot water by propane, not electric as some campers. There is no outside kitchen area as some have, so when you are outside grilling, you must use the frig indoors. I would highly recommend this brand and call it luxury living. There is one bathroom, three bump out slides, and an electric fireplace. The manufacturer went one step above by placing Good Year tires on the double axles. This RV requires a 50 amps service, but I found that you can operate with a 30amps, if you have an adapter and only using only one Air Conditioner. Show less

We have used this RV mainly as a second home on a lake lot. We used it two summers and have take.man it on one road trip out of state. It tows easily with my GMC 1500 Denali pick up. We have just bought a lake house and will not need our camper anymore. You will love winterizing the camper it is super easy. It comes with a great owners manual and other manuals for each piece of equipment. Great storage under and inside the camper. No Show less

We purchased it used in June if 2022, a used 2021 Looked like new seemed well taken care of. Pros nice layout Comfortable recliners and couch. Like the outside kitchen Tows nice. Like ceiling height Cons In September we noticed the paint peeling off the frame under slides, then upon further investigation it was the entire framework. We addressed the issue. Then one of the leaf springs we found to be broken. We had it replaced . We took the trailer to Florida this month January 2023, we cranked out one of the windows ovet the dinette and noticed the glass sliding out if the frame, apparently the weld on the corner failed. Next 3 cabinet doors started separating at the joints, they didn't glue the joints gut small pin nails. Note I been in the cabinet business since 1985 all joints are glued, So we were at Camp Margherita Ville and I saw a Grand Design van there. And explained what we been dealing with. He said call the number on the truck see if they would authorize him to check out the issues with the window and the cabinet doors, so I did and was basically told they don't stand behind a used trailer even if it's basically a new one. 2021 it just turned 2023. Plus the parts are from vendors they use and don't guarantee them. I heard good things about thier build quality, clearly not the case. Clearly the below are poor manufacturing not missuse 1 Frame improperly prepped for paint causing most of the paint to peel away 2 Improperly made cabinet doors 3 A broken weld on a window frame. Causing the glass to slip out. And a broken leaf spring, To be told too bad, really Grand Design Show less
