Grand Design for Boondocking
Hello, Am considering a Grand Design 2670KM (approx 32ft) for Boondocking. Has good size tanks so thats a positive. Haven't been able to find much from people who own a Grand Design and use it ...

I took a hard look at the Grand Design trailers, but the Lippert frame killed the deal. I was already trading in my Keystone trailer because the frame could not take the long dirt roads I drive to get to camping spots. I wan't going to buy another nice looking trailer with a wimpy frame.
I ended up buying a Nash 22h -- Part of the Northwood RV line. Outdoors RV is equally sturdy. My trailer is heavy - it's pushing my F150's capabilities. But it came with the big tanks, solar capability, and sturdy trailer I needed.
Also, think about length. I know I cannot get a trailer longer than 25' into some of the camp sites I really like. Your scenario may be different.
I just looked at one, and the frame is massive.
My present TT also has a Lippert frame, and it is very heavy duty as well.
Lippert builds the frames to what ever the manufacturer specs. If a manufacturer specs a weak frame... That is what they will get.
It's usually not the size of the frame thats the issue. It's the construction of all the pieces thats the issue. Doesn't matter how thick or wide the frame material is if it's not put together right. Broken welds and insufficient bracing are the issues.
