Grand Design Support Disappointing

Been in our 2018 Refection 303 RLS for two weeks; like the features, and the floor plan. My advice is not to rely on the Grand Design for support; ensure that the retailer is knowledgeable and willing to provide the needed support. I can share more details.

In an attempt to obtain the correct connections from the tow vehicle cable to the trailer harness in the gooseneck junction box, I communicated 18 times, for over a month with three different head office service personnel, including two regional service mangers (Tippett, DeWayne). I was ignored, received negligible useful information and inaccurate information. Their final communication was “I would suggest you take the unit to a service center to have them figure out the wiring on this 7 way as I have nothing else I can provide.” I find it implausible that any manufacturer would not have available, for the assemble line tradesman, instructions for this multi wire connection. Fortunately, my local dealer finally received an identical unit and we were able to copy the connections.

  • I'm not sure whether the problem was with your fifth wheel or your truck. If it was your fifth wheel, it seems like you should have started with your dealer. If they can't resolve the problem, then go to Grand Design. If it was a problem with an connection on your truck, how is that an issue for Grand Design?
  • Ok ,

    IK you only had the trailer for 2 weeks , HOW did you-- "communicated 18 times, for over a month with three different head office service personnel, including two regional service mangers (Tippett, DeWayne). I was ignored" ..

    With that said, glad the dealer got you fixed or figured out..

    I believe this may be the first cad report I heard about GD ??
