Grand Design reviews

The 2022 Grand Design Solitude 390RK is a standout in the luxury fifth-wheel market, offering a unique rear kitchen floorplan that truly feels like home. The separation between the kitchen, living, and master bedroom creates a residential-style layout that’s perfect for long-term stays or full-time RV living. The rear kitchen is a chef’s dream—loaded with counter space, residential appliances, and tons of storage. The living area feels like a cozy living room, with opposing slide-outs, theater seating, and a large entertainment center. The master suite is spacious, with a king-size bed and a luxurious bathroom that rivals many high-end homes. Towing the 390RK is smooth and stable when paired with a heavy-duty truck, and the Arctic Insulation Package keeps the coach comfortable in both hot and cold climates Show less

We purchased the unit new in April of 2023 and use it about every other weekend during the summer. After the first couple of trips the door would no longer close and stay latched. If you bump into the valance surrounding the shades, they fall off. On our first long trip the main shade came completely off the wall. It was held on by only two screws that weren't screwed into anything solid. First time we wanted to put the table down for the grand kids to sleep on we found out it is off center by 3/4-inch, one side sits up on the bench. Sliding door to the bedroom kept breaking the plastic support on the floor. After several fixes I figured out the door was not or barely attached to the ceiling, again screws not put into anything solid like a stud. On a hot day you might as well get a motel room as the sewer smell will drive you out. Pulled the vent cap and found the plastic vapor barrier was installed right over the vent hole. Entertainment system has a DVD player which is good for the kids only trouble is, is that it is not a blueray player so I had to buy one of those, I was told that if we want to use the radio, we will need to buy an antenae to get any signal. Open a window, good luck getting it closed all the way. Solar cell, what a joke, we were told we could run the fridge in reduced power mode and all would be good, Nice if you want to park it without power between camping weekends. Just like everything else with this Turd, the Grand Design is Grand Failure. I can't even, in good conscience sell it or trade it in without being honest about the issues. Cheap Chinese junk no quality control. 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.

The floor plan is great. Plenty of room and layed out well. All appliances have worked very well. We really love the refrigerator 12 v and large. The unit tows well and is very easy to hook up with the auto hitch to original function. Excellent warranty and great service when needed Show less

We purchased our Momentum in October, 2024 from a Lazy Days dealership in IA. We drove from AZ to IA to pick it up. When we stopped for the night on our way back, we walked into the garage and the bucket seats had fallen off the rails and damaged the sliding glass doors out to the deck. This was the fault of the dealership not doing a proper installation. We got back to AZ and have been trying to get these doors replaced since that time. It’s now almost the end of April and we still DON’T HAVE the parts!!! The coach is sitting at Camping World in Surprise, AZ in the sun - and the kicker is we pay for covered parking! We are so disgusted with Lazy Days in Council Bluffs, IA as well as the warranty department for Grand Design. Buyer beware!!!!! Show less

SOLID LITTLE TRAILER FOR THE PRICE. HAS EVERYTHING ONE NEEDS, NOTHING ONE DOES NOT! EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD. ITS NOT FANCY BUT ITS A GOOD LITTLE TRAILER AND EASY TO PULL. I UPGRADED IT CONSIDERABLY FOR MY PERSONAL USE. I DO MY OWN INSTALLATIONS AND ANY NEEDED REPAIRS. THE SO CALLED OLD SCHOOL WATER HEATER IS STILL THE BEST. PROPANE OR ELECTRIC FAST RECOVERY SUBURBANS STILL OPERATE BETTER THAN ANY TANKLESS! I HAD A JAYCO WITH TANKLESS AND IT WAS SO SLOW TO RECEIVE HOT WATER! TANKLESS WASTE WATER WAITING FOR IT TO GET HOT! I HEAR THEY FREEZE UP IN VERY COLD WEATHER. BEST OF ALL, THIS TRAILER IS A TRUE 4 SEASON UNIT. IT GOT DOWN TO 11 DEGREES AND NO FREEZE UP. I DID HAVE A HEATED HOSE WORKING ALSO. FOR THE PRICE, ALOT OF BANG FOR THE BUCK! NO RV IS PERFECT! EVEN THE HIGH END ONES! Show less

I've had a Grand Design Transcend Xplor 261BH, and I couldn’t be happier with this travel trailer! From the moment we stepped inside, it felt like a perfect blend of comfort, practicality, and quality—everything my family and I were looking for in a home away from home. The layout is fantastic, especially for a family. With a spacious queen bed up front for the adults and double-size bunk beds in the rear, there’s plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. My kids absolutely love having their own little bunk area—it’s like their personal hideout, which makes bedtime a breeze. The trailer sleeps up to 9, so we’ve even had space for friends or extended family to join us on trips. The kitchen is a standout feature for me. It’s well-equipped with a deep stainless steel sink, residential countertops, and plenty of storage, making meal prep super easy whether we’re cooking inside or using the outdoor kitchen. Speaking of which, the outdoor kitchen has been a game-changer—grilling burgers while enjoying the fresh air just adds to the camping experience. Cleanup is quick too, leaving us more time to relax. Storage is another huge plus. This trailer has so much space for all our gear, clothes, and essentials, yet it still feels open and uncluttered inside. The build quality really shines through—everything feels solid and sturdy, from the hardwood drawer fronts to the upgraded residential furniture. It’s clear that Grand Design put a lot of thought into making this trailer both functional and durable. Towing has been a breeze with our half-ton truck, and the power tongue jack makes setup at the campsite quick and stress-free. The heated and enclosed underbelly is a nice touch too, giving us confidence that we can extend our camping season without worrying about the weather. We’ve only had it for a short time, but so far, it’s exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail, like the USB ports throughout and the Bluetooth stereo with exterior speakers, just adds to the overall enjoyment. It’s the little things that make this trailer feel special. If you’re in the market for a reliable, family-friendly travel trailer that’s built to last, I can’t recommend the Transcend Xplor 261BH enough—it’s been an absolute joy to own! Show less

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

Originally bought the Toy Hauler to take our Polaris 4 wheeler on our trips. Given the limited RV parks that allow 4-wheelers, the garage turned into a perfect 2nd bedroom with it's own half bath and TV. Additionally, the bench and tables were a great dining area. Used the porch many times as a perfect outdoor area as well. Having the garage gave us all kinds of flexibility, from transporting our e-bikes and anything else we wanted to take, to using the garage as moving van storage. Moved our Son and Wife's belongings from SC to FL when they bought their first house. While the garage wasn't used as originally planned, it was very flexible and turned out to be the perfect second bedroom for our visiting family! The Momentum has a 40K btu furnace for winter and (3) 15K btu air conditioners for the Summer. With it's 4 season insulation, it was perfect when we went skiing in 10 degree WV or 110 degrees in AZ. Given all the appliances (18 cu ft Fridge/Freezer, gas range and oven, convection micro-oven and island sink), the 351M has all the comforts of home on wheels. Entertainment is just like home with (3) flat screen TV's and a 3 zone pioneer stereo system. Lastly, the Grand Design 351M was designed very well and built with much higher quality than most RV's.

This is the third camper we have purchased for our family. We switched to Grand Design because of all the great things we have heard about them. This camper has been nothing but a nightmare. We purchased it brand new. After our first trip, the glass entry door shattered. It took about 3 months to replace it. The dealer did install a temporary door so the summer wasn't wasted. Then, the exterior ladder pulled out of sidewall, interior panels started popping off the walls, the back garage wall was not securely fastened to the side walls, and one of the bolts on the garage door broke off. It turns out it was missing multiple studs and backers. Grand Design told us to take it to the dealer for warranty repairs. That was an epic fail. The dealer did more damage to everything they touched and took multiple shortcuts. We complained and Grand Design said they would fix it. We just got the camper back and not only did they make more damage, but they also cut corners and failed to fix everything. You can see daylight through the panels by the nightstands, the entertainment cabinet is scratched, marred, and damaged. Nothing was resealed or even replaced. We reached back out to Grand Design and they told us to take it back to the dealer for warranty work. That is where we are now. Standby for updates. Show less
