Grand Design Travel Trailer reviews

Overall superb. Very practical, love the 2 doors. Good quality. - Only issue is compatibility reverse camera and truck .... very hard to get a signal. - Sliding doors are good, but some guides a little flimsy. Love the bathroom. Love to have a separate bedroom. storage is adequate, I wish we had a little more. Show less

While on our 2nd trip with trailer, we noticed a crease in the vinyl floor in front of the fridge. There is an 18" -+ noticable valley in floor. Looks like an obvious flaw in the underlayment. After months of communication with Grand Design, there only solution is to patch the floor. In a high traffic area this would not last and hurt resale value. Also, the drawers by the front door wobbled and banged up against the door frame. This I fixed with heavy duty Blum sliders that had no side to side play. Grand Design does not back their product, we'll never buy their product again. Show less

Owned this camper since October 2024 and use it at least once a month from Feb - Nov. Over all quality of frame and camper itself is outstanding. Everything else is One-star. All components seem very cheap and the installation of them is comparable to a two year old putting an adult jigsaw puzzle together. Nothing is installed, square or attached properly. Counters are bubbled an warped. Plumbing under the kitchen sink is crooked and not connected properly. Drawers and cabinets are low quality with slides falling off, The mount for the camera on the back of the camper is crocked with screws put in at angles then smeared with excessive silicone to hold everything on place. Sliding doors to bedroom fell off after three trips. recliners screwed to the floor 2 inches from the wall on one side 5-1/2 inches from the wall on the other side. Purchased at Blue Compass and the service manger told me he has campers worth $150,000 - 250,000 he is working one he doesn't have time for my cheap camper. Told us he would never own a camper his idea of vacation is as far from camping as he can get. Awning snapped off where it connects to the arm and Blue Compass has been dragging their feet getting it repaired. Ordering $1400.00 arms so I can repair it myself. Starting to review campers of better quality to replace our Gran Design with in three years. I hope Blue Compass hasn't taken over all camper sales. Grand design has called me five times about a recall they want repaired. Blue Compass denies there is a recall. Tried to put me in the middle of the argument, I refuse their calls now. Basically. I am very disappointed with the purchase of a Grand Design. Show less

You’ll have to get a roof within the first few years. Have a 2023 and it hasn’t even been 3 years yet and a whole roof replacement. Now I’m gonna have to replace the slide roof. Not to mention all the plentiful self repairs I have to make every trip since day one. Folks due your selves a favor and stay away. The news on the street is it’s called Grand Decline for a reason. Scary. Gonna be out another 2-3,000 next month when my Tech moves a 2024 GRAND Decline out for its roof to so my slide roof. Already 10,000 in the whole. Paid for what I thought was quality and got junk. Show less

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Grand Design. For more than a year, I have dealt with repeated issues and defects with my trailer, many of which have made the unit completely unusable. Despite multiple attempts to seek support and a resolution, the process has been slow, frustrating, and has required constant follow-up on my part. My RV has spent months in storage because it cannot be safely or reliably used, yet I have continued to incur monthly loan payments, insurance costs, storage fees, and additional travel expenses due to breakdowns and mechanical failures. In total, the financial loss and lost use have been significant. Several major issues have occurred, including but not limited to: Electrical malfunctions that remain unresolved Axle and suspension concerns Flooring and wall problems Hot water heater failures Multiple campground disruptions due to malfunctioning components Despite all of this, Grand Design has repeatedly refused to consider a full refund—even though the situation was escalated to management back in April 2025, and a refund was initially discussed as a potential solution. Instead, I was offered a monetary amount that does not come close to covering the actual costs, time lost, or frustration experienced over the past year. The compensation offered feels dismissive considering the long-term impact of these ongoing issues. Additionally, communication has been inconsistent, and I have often been left waiting days for responses on matters that should be treated urgently. Grand Design markets itself as a company that “stands behind its product,” but my experience has not reflected that promise. After more than a year of unresolved problems, excessive repair needs, and thousands of dollars lost, I cannot recommend Grand Design to anyone looking for a reliable RV or a company that takes accountability for its product failures. I hope this review encourages more transparency, better customer support, and a higher standard of responsibility for those who invest significant money into these units with the expectation of quality and reliability.

The worst. Drawers/cabinets falling apart. Pipes leaking, paneling and trip falling down...a lot. Skirting brackets loose. Multiple issues with AC/Heater. Slide outs not working. Door not latching. Refrigerator/ Freezer doors not latching. I have had a lot of travel trailers, and this is far and away the worst piece of junk. Show less

This travel Trailer is great to tow though i use an equalizer hitch and a 3500 diesel to pull it. Even in very strong winds this trailer pulls very nicely. We have two adult sized special needs men and the bunkhouse is perfect for them. The primary bedroom has enough room when the slide is out to allow dressing in that room. The kitchen and living room are very roomy and makes cooking easy and out of the way of others that are watching tv etc. Only issues we have had is a broken refer latch and a piece of trim fell off inside. This floor plan is perfect for our needs. Show less

The floor plan is absolutely amazing. It feels so open and easy to move around in. The counter space is unmatched that is for sure. Plus the bathroom is perfectly sized and has lots of storage. The ability to drive our truck and not have to get a fifth wheel hitch but have a fifth wheel feel is perfection. We use our truck bed for hauling other things so this is the best of both worlds. Best travel trailer design I have ever seen. Show less

BEWARE OF GRAND DESIGN RV AWNINGS Grand Design installs the Solera 3000 Awning by Lippert, which is a design disaster. It can’t shed rainwater, so water pools on top until the awning collapses under its own weight. When I asked for help, I was told it’s “only meant as a sunshade” – not for rain. That’s unacceptable on a product built for outdoor use. Buyers, beware. Show less

I bought my Grand Design 27MAV RV excited to camp in all sorts of weather. But one shocking flaw has soured the experience – the factory-installed Solera 3000 Lippert awning. The first time it rained, water pooled on the fabric because the design doesn’t allow it to run off. Within minutes, the weight bowed the arms and destroyed the awning. When I asked for help, Grand Design told me the awning “wasn’t meant for rain” == only as a sunshade. Imagine that: a camping RV that can’t handle rain on its awning! If you’re considering Grand Design, know this upfront: you’ll either need to avoid using the awning in rain (completely impractical), or pay out-of-pocket for a sturdier replacement. Show less
