From our recent shopping experience, I'd have to say that GD is comparable in interior quality to other manufacturers in the same price range. They are far better than those in the lower price ranges, but not nearly as good as those that are in the higher price ranges. My observation of this may differ from someone else's observation because we might place more worth in certain things over others.
Our new GD has Dexter axles, rather than the Lippert axles they were using just a year earlier. Now some folks may still question the current quality of Dexter components, but when/if something breaks, I know I can find parts almost anywhere.
Lippert owns Dexter
As best I can determine, Lippert bought the chassis division of Dexter, “NOT” Dexter Axle!
Correct. Lippert bought out Dexters frame division and most every other frame builder in northern IN in the early 2010's.
We had a 2013 Keystone 235. A close friend had a 2012 Keystone 235. His had a pre Lippert frame by Dexter, ours had a post Lippert frame built in the same plant that Lippert obtained in the acquisition of Dexters frame division. Our 2013 frame was a total joke compared to his 2012, not only in the materials, but the construction. The welding may have been done by the Elkardt Elementary School morning Kindergarten craft class.
