Grand Design IMAGINE 3170BH reviews

Do not walk, RUN to a different manufacturer to purchase an RV. we've had so many problems with our 2018 Imagine 3170BH its impossible to detail them all here. Our biggest complaints are the water leaks causing mold growth and electrical problems. We've never had electricity in the outdoor kitchen and now have had so many problems with the heating/furnace that it has become become necessary to have a second thermostat just to run the furnace. These Rv's are poorly constructed and are fire hazards due to the electrical issues. Grand Design has never been responsive nor has the dealer. We've given up trying to work with either so absolutely can not recommend buying any of Grand Design models. These RV'S cost a higher premium so buy something less expensive, it will be even more economical in the long run. Show less

Buyer beware!!! We've had the trailer for a little over two years. We have taken it on 15 to 20 trips. We were recently preparing the trailer for a trip and while filling the water tank in the driveway, it dropped to the ground. There were 5 people who witnessed this! We were relieved this didn't happen while driving on the freeway at 75 mph, as this could have been catastrophic. We contacted Grand Design, and they filed a case; however, refused to cover the damages which were over $1000. Our dealer, General RV, told us they sent photos and contacted them twice and they still refused to cover it. When you spend $40,000 on a trailer, you expect it to not fall apart after 2 plus years. To us, this is clearly a manufacturer design flaw and should have been covered by Grand Design. Our next step is to contact every dept of road safety in the country to make them aware and hopefully a recall will happen to prevent this potential design flaw from severely affecting others. We are going to contact the local news to see if they will pursue this further. Again, this could have been a major catastrophe, even ending in death. Show less

We have done 7000 miles with this trailer and only one problem. The front wall of the storage compartment came off. I just used a staple gun to attach it again. This may have come off due to a large bump. I mean huge. No other problems. We are full timers traveling the country. Second RV. Hensley hitch with 6 inch drop. 2018 Dodge 2500 desiel pulls this easily. Show less
