Grand Design Rv reviews

The Ford F650 chassis this super c is built on makes this rig very easy to drive. It is a very rough ride for anyone behind the driver seat however. We will be upgrading the suspension ASAP. On paper nexus seems like the right company to build these rigs, but in reality their execution matches every other garbage builder in competition to see how much the customer will pay for less and less craftsmanship. Starting with lack of sealant EVERYWHERE. No exaggeration i have spent 3 weeks crawling every inch sealing where they missed. We had water intrusion in every storage cabinet and all along the bulk head where the cab meets the living space. There is no protective coating to keep rust away from their exposed "steel cage construction " under the rig. Chafed wires in and around everything that needed to be repaired. The roof top ac units do not line up with the roof ducts and result in poor air flow. When welding the leveler to the frame they melted a factory ford wire bundle. There are screw holes in the floor where it seems like the tried to mount the cabinets then decided to move them. It wasn't until after my high preassure rushed purchase from the general rv that I realized my truck didnt come with any of the standard features marketed on their website (power mirrors, air ride seats etc). It feels like we bought the prototype proof of concept model built on a left over chassis. The premium full body paint they are so proud of is super thin with orange peel and over spray throughout the rig. I have purchased and replaced multiple plugs caps and body panel gromets that were taken out for painting and not reinstalled. There is a huge gap in quality of details for a super c class rig. Overall we are happy with the design and layout but if I could go back I would have selected a different manufacture. Yes this is a brand new rv and under warranty but if they didnt do it right the first time, how long will it take if at all to get it right the second time. Show less

This was our first RV. After we took our first trip, brought it back home. The jack broke when we tried to put the leg out on the bed. The leg broke brand new. The tire has a bubble on it. Not safe to drive. The air conditioner is so loud you can’t talk to each other. You can’t hear the TV and when it rains, the blower stops working and it starts banging. We’ve only had this RV for six weeks for a first time our veer this is a horrible experience and if I could get rid of this thing and take it back, I would gladly do it very unhappy, very unhappy that the salesman told us nothing about how loud the air conditioners are , we told him we have never owned an RV. We feel like we got a lemon. Show less

This camper is perfect for the two of us and occasionally our two grandkids. Our schedule only allows us to camp three to four weeks a year, spread out throughout the camping season. The 2024 247BH is a great weekend camper. We needed a trailer that we could pull with our 1/2 ton Titan and so far it has been a good combination rolling up and down the east coast. Our only complaint is we would have preferred an outside access door to the under bed storage in the rear but that was not a deal breaker for us. Show less

So we actually had this unit built….buyer beware that Grand design will make changes to your design during construction without telling you. Specifically we wanted the color changing light feature. When unit was delivered they did not supply those and said we are out of luck that they are only installing white lighting. This is not what we ordered per our contract. They said it would now be “thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars” to redo it. So we offered to have them throw In a generator and stairs for the side patio ….which they refused. They told Blue compass ft Wayne to order cheap Amazon lights and cover the others. This is not the “thousands and thousands and thousands” they said it would cost. So we have been told to just accept their change and deal with it even though that’s not what we purchased. Just a warning for others to avoid Grand Design as they will not comply with a written contract. Show less

We decided to buy another Grand Design RV after our first GD was so well built. Man, a lot has changed! From the day we bought the RV there has been nothing but issues. The dealership has had it more than 7 months of the last 14 months. 3 of the 4 four brakes didn't;t work the day we bought it, but the dealership told me to go buy a fuse for my truck and sent me on my way. From the beginning our list of issues included; Front door not closing correctly garage entry door not closing correctly marker lights not working rear brake light intermittent working gas fill station won't take gas tears in roof bubbled out wall panels electrical outlet not mounted propoerly trim falling off trim not cut to correct length seem tape coming off on various walls shower rail not caulked at all and leaking water caulk hardened in sink Front door let light pass through the door because they're was no foam in part of the door. Under rear of garage metal is already rusting stair rail was loose on inside stair rail on outside rusted Those were just some of the issue, but we had to have them repaired multiple times. The fuel station still doesn't fill correctly, and we have had to bring it back many times for repairs to be redone. While the repairs are a problem with the dealership, GD has done little to nothing to make things right. Where as we used to be big fans of GD, we will be looking at other brands now for our next RV.

Pro's Nice layout, easy loading, decent kitchen for a toy hauler and exceptional bathroom. Euro chairs are comfy and nice window coverage. Patio option is a nice extra. Another big pro is the large 90 gal fresh water tank. Cons: cheap door latch/lock handle(plastic) broke on first trip, couldn't latch door from inside. black tank flush did not work due to kink in the flex pipe which was obviously done on purpose during install because the flex pipe used was too short to connect without kinking it. Despite going to Goodyear Endurance on other models years ago, this toy hauler has Westlake tires. So GD decided to cut corners in safety(Tires) and security(Door latch) IMO. Water pump and winterization bypass switch are not easily accessible. One arm blind access, not under sink like most. Murphy bed with metal benches is too heavy and should have hydraulic assist, the concept of the fold down benches sounds good in theory but not practical in practice so I removed them entirely.

We must have looked at dozens of RV trailers before purchasing the Intech Sol Eclipse Rover. The only disappointment is that most of the cabinet trim is literally falling off the cabinet bottoms and sides. Our RV was used twice and stored in a covered storage. I was shocked when i found the trim laying everywhere. The worst wasn’t that apparently bad glue was used , after contacting the dealer AND eventually Intech neither would stand by their product or even provide info on what glue to use. Very disappointed in their warranty and customer service. Trim should not peel off in one year especially when we kept the trailer immaculate and in covered storage. Intech even admitted they’d had many complaints about this issue 🙁 Show less

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

Our 2019 Grand Design Reflection 337RLS has been basically trouble free. I work great distances from home; consequently, the camper has had a lot of full-time use. The only thing that has failed is the microwave, but I've learned that was most likely my fault from my habit of warming plates/dishes without any food and that will damage the microwave magnetron. The new microwave was an easy R&R for my wife and I. I do my best to stay up on maintenance. I haven't had any leaks, but I have had to repair taillights, replace the toilet, and the spare tire is prone to loosen up. All in all it has been a great camper. . .I'm 2,500 miles from home and living in it right now. I've heard people complain about the water heater being too small, but I run the electric & gas while showering and never run out of hot water. 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
