Grand Design Imagine XLS 23 LDE 23LDE 23LDE reviews

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

This rig is poorly constructed. We’ve owned it two years and put about 10,000 miles on it. Here are the more significant problem areas: 1) Plumbing. Installers used PEX clamps on vinyl tubing. So far, we’ve had six separate leaks and it’s getting worse. Some are in the underbelly. We’ll be forced to complete a major tear down just to get to the leaks. We will then have to replace ALL clamps on the vinyl tubes. 2) Schwintek slide was improperly installed from the factory. Dealer can’t seem to make it right. Still throws error codes. Multi-thousand dollar repair required one year into ownership. 3) Roof membrane is starting to bubble. 4) Kitchen countertop is delaminating.around the sink. 5) Sliding barn door always fell off during transit until I “McGyvered” it for a permanent fix. We hope to sell (dump) it once we fix the plumbing. Grand Design isn’t worth the premium price. Show less

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

If I could give zero"s I would. We were warned not to buy a trailer made during Covid due to inexperienced workers making the trailers. We spent extra money and bought a 2024 model. It didn't matter. Travel Trailer is all of 4 months old. 1) Door latches do not work. 2) Refrigerator broke before first use and had to be replaced. 3) Trailer was sent from factory with solar panel wired incorrectly. ( No quality control) 4) Bathroon sliding door fell off the brackets and screws stripped due to only one door guide installed. 5) Heater/furnace did not work on a cold morning on the trailers second trip. (Again, zero quality control) What will break on this POS next? If you are looking at a Grand Design, run as fast as you can. Show less

Expected a TT that was reliable given the manufacturer, especially at the price point. Layout is great, easily towable. Quality of the TT was a great disappointment. First glance noticed small items that could have been added to make a huge difference and make it comparable to other higher end TT, especially for the price point people are paying during these times. Items like installing a tankless water heater, Larger vent fans than the tiny ones you find on low end trailers, better AC unit than the lowest model found, better bed, wood construction under bed is poor particle board quality, shades for door windows, soft close drawers to name a few. Taking the TT out for the first time noticed the cabinet design by kitchen entry was poor. Drawers can't hold anything without falling apart. Slides are poor quality and ball bearings fell out. Dealer said drawer still works so no new slides. Drawer construction is something you would find with cheap furniture. Pex plumbing elbows and fittings flooded the front of the TT as they were not fastened correctly. Entire electrical system stopped working. Found out the 30 Amp plug was loose and started to burn which could have been a fire hazard. Fancy couch / recliner didn't work when electrical was fixed, issue with furnace not working, tiny bathroom sink fit for children. Original 6 gal water heater goes out every 10 seconds when trying to shower (replaced it with a tankless and problem solved). Other manufactures are selling TT at the same price point with all the items missing from this manufacturer. Quality control is no longer important. Gouging customers is. Show less
