We picked Grand Design because the owners forum was filled with happy customers with little issues. Ultimately we felt that was the best way to pick a manufacturer outside of floor plan and price with are the two other components.
When it came to floor plan they had the better version compared to the other manufactures and on price they were upper middle market which was where we wanted to be.
After just going through this process, I would tend to agree with the methodology. If you visit the GD Owner's forum, you'll surely see that folks have issues (like all manufacturers), but what I found is that the reported problems were all very similar to each other. In other words, many people were experiencing the same set of issues vs. having many people experiencing a large multitude of various issues. With that information in hand, I can be a better consumer when it comes to the PDI inspection.
GD makes some pretty awesome claims on their website regarding insulation and their so-called "4 seasons" capabilities. Having not really been able to judge for myself whether or not that's true, I'll refrain from any current commentary on the matter.
But to the OP's point about living in it, it's my understanding that GD will not void the warranty for full-timers. Again, that's what I've been told but haven't verified (nor do I care to verify because that's not our intent).
