Grand Design now using Dexter axles on Imagine. And...

It back to "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin." and other mundane issues. Frames are frames, some are made well some are not. Some are well made but a poor choice for the application.

Fortunately, most serve their intended purpose for the life of the TT.

That's pretty funny ... how then do you explain all the gripping here on the forums about "American made" RVs? :W

Forgot to click on the sarcasm button :)

I know of other trailer manufacturers switching from Lippert to Dexter. I would really like to believe that they’re making the switch because of a superior product or lower failures. Unfortunately it’s probably only because Dexter gave them a lower price than Lippert. That’a all it all boils down too, profits.

No different than which fridge or A/C or furnace or anything else that may be used in building an RV ... the best price from suppliers always wins. That's why one year any given trailer lineup may have a Dometic fridge, the next it could just as easily have a Norcold. It's all about the bottom line and has nothing to do with perceived quality.

I don't get it, whats the big deal?

Hmm it seems to me that changing the things that are having the most problems would be a good thing.

Grand Design changed ownership recently. I expect a large number of changes, none of which will be good.
