Go ahead and drink that Grand Design Koolaid but They are just like every other brand they build good ones and bad ones just like everybody else, I have 2 friends with Solitudes and they have been back to the shop many times for warranty work and have met many folks with them on the road in my many years of fulltiming ,I am not saying they are bad 5er's at all but just no different than any other brand so just pick a brand and floor plan ya like and buy from a good dealer and hope for the best,Why do ya think GD sold out to Winnabago?? because they did not have the Capitol to keep up with Warranty claims like Forest River and Thor And they needed to step it up with better Quality Components because before Winnabago they really cheaped out on a lot of things compared to other brands in their price range

I agree with this also, When we went shopping for our 5th wheel we looked at Grand Design also. I can honestly say I don't think they were built any better than anybody else, after all they are from Indiana where the majority of the junk is manufactured. From what I hear however they do have excellent customer service and that is worth something.

We ended up with a Forest River Wild Cat (which is junky too like most out there) and while we did have some major issues to the point of them replacing our unit with a new one, they have been excellent to deal with as well as our dealer. Our new replacement unit has been great so far. Make sure you shop out a good dealer as well the unit.
