We belong to a few Grand Design sites on Face Book and we have noticed sooo many folks with 2020-2022 models that have had the springs break and damage the 5th wheel. A few were lucky to notice the broken springs before any damage occurred.
We want to travel to Alaska with ours and decided to have a MORryde independent suspension and disc brakes installed. We have an appointment next month. As we have already sunk quite a bit of money in this 5th wheel, and this is going to be the last RV we own, we decided to not attempt fate and get it 'beefed up' for the trip to Alaska and other trips.
We watch the Face Book pages and when we notice a common problem in the 5th wheels, we'll inspect that on ours and more often than not, we can tell ours would have the problem at some point. We've been very proactive in 'fixing' things before they break. Hopefully everything we've been doing to it will give us more peace of mind while traveling.
