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!!!!

Roof blew off last year on 2019. Warranty basically gave us the middle finger. GD certified repair facility said it was a manufacturer defect. $12,000. 00 REPLACEMENT. Next trip out it blew a tire, granted these tires looked brand new. Ripped off the siding on the trailer. Then the outside shower blew a plastic POS pressure water fitting and flooded the entire underneath storage compartment. Had this been a fitting NOT to the outside shower, it would have flooded the ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE RV. I suppose that will be next?!!! This trailer is GARBAGE AND THE WARRANTY IS USELESS.

This is our third camper, but our first Grand Design. What a difference a quality build makes! This camper feels like the people who designed and built it were experienced RVers. It is so easy to relax in, cook in, sleep in, entertain in that I had to give it 5 stars for livability. And the quality of everything from the flooring to the storage to the systems to the look are top notch. A special note of thanks to Grand Design for creating a very user friendly Owners Manual. Finally the few times we called the Grand Design folks for advice they were spot on and soooo patient with us. We are so very glad we took the plunge and upgraded our camping experiences by upgrading our camper to a Grand Design.

Bought trailer 1 week ago at Holiday World of Katy trailer dances and fishtails. Dealer gave too small of a hitch. Twice. 3rd time installed an equalizer hitch. Better but trailer still dances and fishtails. I have a 2003 Ford F350 crewcab shortbed. Trailer is hard to pull, can't get over 55, and sometimes have to go slower. Dealer tried to blame my truck but it was pulling a 33 FT 2017 Keystone triple slide with no issues. This trailer is 34 ft and 2 slides. Sent in service email on GD website, we shall see if they help.

In case you might be interested. We bought this travel trailer six months ago. Excited, we started a new adventure only to find out that we waited to late in our lifetime to really enjoy the travel trailer. Our physical handicaps was a road block in order to really enjoy. She can't walk and I can't hear. I have problems with anything where you have to connect a female plug to a male plug because of muscle problems in my hands. None of these requirements are hard but they were hard on us because of limited physical abilities. Of course we should of known before we bought but we did buy and now we are selling the travel trailer. What we enjoyed was the fireplace and the sofa's. The air conditioners worked very well and the two awnings were nice to sit under outside. Everything worked just as they were supposed to work and that is what we enjoyed. We are selling the travel trailer for $31,000. We paid $38,555 in August, then another $2000 getting what needs to be bought in order to have successful trips. So, we spent $40,555 on the travel trailer that we are going to sell for $31,000.
