Grand Design Imagine XLSpage=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2 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

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

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

This Grand Design is my 7th. This 17MKE is my 3rd. I used all of them for traveling to work sites harvesting. When not working used for camping throughout western and mid western USA and wintering in Arizona and New Mexico. For the most part I was able to fix problems and issues. All trailers I owned never froze up and I remained comfortable. I sold 3 to my workers and they still have them back to 2018. The current 17MKE had an inoperable awning. Dealer fixed it by replacing the circuit and unity board. It does pay to buy local! The 2150 RB was my first and that was repaired local. They replaced Thetford toilet with an American Dometic 310. Yes. I had issues with other models but had to fix myself or call a mobile rv technician because I was harvesting and my time was completely focused on the thousands of acreage to be completed. I am 78 and can’t work anymore. I bought this 2025 17MKE and it’s for sale because of health reasons. Bottom line…Yes! I would still buy Grand Design Products because of the quality and my personal experience with the product! No RV is perfect! I Have seen people with Airstreams with problems! Read the unbiased reviews on other brands. Make your decision on the top 5. Stay away from the Covid era years! The Chinese tried to kill us and they disrupted the world! The USA will prevail because God is still in charge! Show less

Probably one of the best built travel trailers I have ever owned. The build design along with the spacious floor plan makes this a number one choice of travel trailers. In our 40+ years of camping experience, the Grand Design and Winnebago always stood out as top choices when looking for a new RV. Grand Design sure did everything right. Show less

We looked forever at floor plans trying to find one that would work for teens or adult children. So many have little bunks where they get inside a tube to sleep. Our kids are older so we knew this would not work. We also wanted a big enough floor plan that we could sit inside during inclement weather. I wasn’t initially looking for an island or a fireplace but can tell you that I do love both. This unit has so much storage which is something people complain about often. I love that it sleeps six adults easily. Another thing is that we can all watch one TV together. So often the bunk areas can’t easily view the TV and with this floor plan we can all watch the TV easily. We have had no issues with our unit other than some very small cosmetic things. One of the reasons that attracted us to the Grand Design brand was that they have a really good reputation for a quality unit. I think during Covid when they were making units as fast as they could go (unit years 2021 and 2022) the build quality maybe wasn’t quite as good. We did have an RV inspection done by a third-party before we brought our unit home and I would pay for that again. It gave us peace of mind that all the things worked like they were supposed to before we took it out. It’s a heavy camper so we made sure we had a tow vehicle that could handle the weight. The only thing I wish it had it doesn’t was a king size bed other than that this camper has been perfect. we’ve said many times we’re glad we didn’t buy some of the other floorplans we were looking at because we would have wanted to trade them in already.

This is the perfect family RV. It's light enough to be easily towed and the whole family can spend time together in this great travel trailer. We enjoyed that at 27 feet we could fit into almost any RV spot at least 30 ft and still have plenty of room. There is plenty of storage space and we enjoyed the outside cooktop, where we could make meals outdoors while camping. One of the best features of this RV was the keyless entry. So, every member of our family had access without needing to have their own set of keys. This RV is an all-around perfect RV for a family that enjoys camping and sightseeing together. Show less

Great RV for a small family. Has a queen size bed and a bunk beds. Plenty of walking room and a full bathroom. My family and I have enjoyed this RV. Plenty of storage and easy to tow with a midsize truck. I added an anti-sway hitch that made towing very easy and tress free. Show less

Have owned for 2 yrs. Each year atleast 1 shade has broken. Cheaply made. Handles are sharp on cabinets. My wife loves it and the slide was worked on before we owned it. Had 1 blowout on the chinese tires that came on it. Blew out side panels but grand design helped me with replacement parts. They were great to work with. Show less
