Another Grand Design Podcast - pretty cool.

I am not saying GD's are Bad rv's or anything but facts are facts and when I laid down my 65K I wanted the best RV for the buck, All the other big players have Samsung or Sony home 110V and Surround Not DC TV's, if Grand Designs uses DC TV's that is why your choice is Jensen or Furrion, Most everybody else has gone to 12in frames NOT 10in frame, The Competition has both Fantastic fans AND Ceiling fans,Rear caps,and the Momentum HAS to have a VAC it's a Toy hauler but the rest of GD's.... Not,they are good looking RV's but so are the rest ,they have some more catching up to do,I think they cheap out on some things because they do not have the buying power of Forest River or Thor that puts these goodies as STANDARD and stay in the same price range as the Big Boys

I know 2 people with Grand Designs and they have done zero-zip to advance their RV's since they started except more floor plans...STILL 10in frame,same Cheap Stereo,DVD"Suround Sound" ,No central vacuum's, no ceiling fans ,no back cap,ETC.....Etc...

The Momentum line has Central vacs. The fan they use for ventilation can also be used as a ceiling fan if you read the manuals for them.

As for stereos, there are a limited number of choices designed for 12VDC operation that will work reasonably well in a mobile environment. They don't make them, they have to buy from other companies that do.

They have also made a LOT of design changes based on customer feedback, and they have done so in a very short time span.

We have been VERY impressed with the Momentum 385TH, and haven't found a better toy hauler.
