Grand Design Cargo Trailer reviews

For a small RV, it seems open and roomy. The bathroom is bigger than most bathrooms in larger RVs. The rear kitchen has a lot of storage and a pantry. The two large drawers next to the dinette are great for storage and the shoe cubby below the drawers are handy. The quality is great! Show less

We lived in our RV for almost 4 years, and it has treated us very nicely and without any problems. This layout gave us so much room and storage for everything we could ever need. We did upgrade our fridge to a Samsung residential fridge for more space as we were living it in. Show less

Grand Design means Poor Execution. Ours had the following defects: Underbelly heater duct was too short and not inserted into the floor. No underbelly heat meant our pipes froze on our first fall trip. Sawdust leaking out of every crevice everywhere. They never cleaned up as they were building it. Also wood screws, and enough spare parts under the cabinets to install a second TV antenna. Kinked hot water pipe. Electric tongue jack wired thru unprotected holes in steel frame. Combined with the fuse failing to blow, there were sparks and burn marks where the wires wore thru. Poor paint job. The frame and stairs were rusting before the first season was over. Surging water pump. 6 months to replace a recalled and faulty Chinese made propane pressure control valve. Undersized battery dead within 2 years. Cheap Chinese made Westlake tires wore out at 7,000 miles. A defective toilet valve flooded the bathroom and there is no way to turn water off just at the toilet. You have to turn off the water to everything. There are no shut off valves to any of the sinks or the toilet. But there was a loose fitting elbow drain under the shower. Show less

Love the camper but have had FOUR GE air conditioning units go down in less the TWO years! And we are not full timers. We didn't even take it out during the hot part of the summer in our second season for fear it would fail again... and sure enough. First trip out this summer and another AC unit went down. Annoying beyond words. If Grand Design doesn't change AC brands I will not be able to buy another unit from them, which is a shame because we love everything else about it. I will say, so far Grand Design has replaced all the units and my dealer has made the exchange as easy as possible but it is still a MAJOR pain. We live an hour from our dealer. Show less

We purchased our grand design because we really liked the layout and were told how well built of a trailer it was. That couldn't be farther from the truth. This unit has nothing but issues. To the point where I can't even sleep when it's raining outside because I'm getting up looking for leaks. As it sits we have had over a dozen leaks in this trailer and major water damage because if it. If I could go back in time and buy anything else I would. Don't waste your money on grand design!!!

We recently purchased a new 2024 GD Reflection. We were preparing for our first trip, and the #3 slide (bedroom) wouldn’t extend. Took it to the dealer and one of the motors is bad. Also, the entry door doesn’t latch without holding open the handle. We’ll have to cancel our trip. Contacted GD about reimbursing unrefunded deposit and they said no. We had a Forest River Rockwood for six years with no warranty issues, and minor repairs. We opted for the GD, because we were told they are quality. What a lie. So far this one is crap. DON’T buy a Grand Design. We should have stick with Forest River. Show less

For the asking price, the workmanship and materials used are pathetic. No customer service and forget the warranty. Grey tank pipe split at elbow to tank. ABS pipe wall thickness is paper thin. They don’t want it to last and then make it impossible for you to access it and repair or replace with new pipe. They want you to pay their techs extortionate rates to come and fix it. Steer clear Show less

Totally pissed at grand design - gonna use my sons camper ( hes away on business and do not want to bother him) because i know nothing of campers i look at at their site WHAT A POS!!

I wouldn’t buy one of their products if this is their idea of how to “help” … wanna help??? How bout a step by step on use- getting started …. Their marketing ppl need to be fired!!! Show less

Having issues with both a/c units. In order to have the temperature 70, you have to set the thermostat on 60-62. The cooling sensors are in the cooling unit itself. Can not run fan auto because of the short cycles.GD advise the fan must run continuously on low or high, not auto.Several other issues that my dealer is trying to fix, with out any help whatsoever from GD.My dealership is definitely working with us on all the issues. This is our first GD, and it will be our last GD. We bought it and didn’t do our homework. The a/c has been a problem since 2021 and GD doesn’t seem to care. These over priced, over rated, and poorly designed and workmanship are nothing but a piece of junk. This company is going down hill fast. Now the issues with the frames is a dangerous sad situation that’s GD is trying to shuff under the rug. SHAME ON YOU GRAND DESIGN!!!! Show less

Grand Design has built a quality product. The Imagine 2670MK is extremely comfortable for shorter or longer stays. We have added convenience items like a 2nd AC in the bedroom. Tankless water heater for continuous hot water. An 18” apartment size dishwasher built into the island. Pantry pullouts top and bottom. 2nd TV in the bedroom. This RV has had light use. We have just decided at our age not to RV anymore. Show less
