Everyone talking about Thor and Forest River products, don't forget that Grand Design is now owned by Winnebago!
Yes but it looks like their CS is still superior to most but not all.
I'm no means putting GD on a pedestal. Spend a week on their forum and everyday it's a different new owner coming on with another problem. They all get resolved and everyone goes about their merry way.
Many tout Northwood for being slightly above the rest. Well just recently a new NW owner on the NW forum received his new AF 5er he purchased from the east coast or there abouts. Had it shipped to his local dealer. Multiple problems to the point that I would've asked for a new one. Hard to not be excited about all the good comments about NW, but then when you finally receive it it's a pile. Emotions play a big part in how one feels about problems. How much can one overlook things to keep feeling good about your purchase? They had way more patients than I do. Husband had the skills to fix most everything. Parts were sent from factory and MFG was a great help.
Problem is that the issues were mostly QC. Same pattern all RV's have.
It's hit or miss.
