Grand Design 303 Question?

Hello all,

Well, the family and I are looking very hard at the GD 303. We really like the floor plan and all the reviews and customer service comments all seem to be great. I have also read quite a bit on their forum but haven't joined it yet. Also 95% positive comments and reviews there. But seeing how they are such a new company, one would expect such.
So what I'm looking for is reviews and comments from actual owners/customers. How well do you like the rig? How is the overall build and quality? Any regrets, or anything you'd like to change?
I like the 303RLS due to weight and length. I have a 2005 Ford F-250 PSD CC 4x4 as the TV and this model would be a great match for it and a great overall length that I'm happy and comfortable with.
The DW likes the 337 due to the bedroom slide. I admit its nice, but its longer and obviously heavier. I think it would push the TV to the max. I think we could handle it, but I just feel the 303 is a better match and its roughly 7k cheaper. We are weekend and vacationers and not full timers also if that helps. We spend around 40-50 nights a year in our RV.
Thanks in advance for any help and insight!

    It's a new company, but they seem to be very interested in making the customer happy when there is an issue. We looked at Cougars, Crusaders, Open Range, and many others in this price range, for about 2 years before we purchased our Reflection 337. We had a couple of minor issues that the dealer resolved very quickly, no major trouble. We liked the 303, but when the 337 came out we were sold on the extra storage, bedroom slide, and the larger shower. I pull mine with a 2012 F250 CC SB, B&W Companion hitch and have not had any towing concerns. With all gear in the trailer it weighed 11,900. I don't think you would go wrong with a Grand Design product.

    We really like our 337, I am glad we bought a Grand Design. I have zero issues towing this trailer, very smooth and stable.

    I've got the 369RL Solitude. Had it for almost a year and a half and totally love it. We've got over 7,000 miles on it including a 4 week, 4,300 mile road trip this past spring.
    I don't think you'll find a better company than Grand Design to deal with..

    We are very happy with our 303. We've spent 70 nights and towed 4800 miles so far. We changed to 16" LT tires as we had done on our previous rig.

    Thanks to all who have responded. The 16in tires on the 337 was also appealing over the 15in on the 303. I may have to look into the 337 a little harder over the 303 as there may be a lot of value I'm not seeing in that 7k price difference. I don't really think we could go wrong with either unit.

    I've got a 323BHS on order, and it's supposed to come in quickly. Got the SuperSofa which is the most comfortable piece of furniture I've ever sat in.

    The 293 and 303's appear to be very reasonably priced and the right size to tow. With 2000 Reflection units built in the last 18 months, Grand Design laying it to other manufacturers with their products.

    We are looking at the 323BHS as an option for our 5'er (moving up from a TT). I would be interested in hearing your opinion on it once you get it. We are not buying soon -- but I am apprehensive about going with the GD as they are such a new company.

    Feel free to PM me.

    Thanks.

    As far as the Grand Design company goes I feel they are the premier RV manufacturer in the business. In the past 10 years I had 5 different RV's by 5 different RV companies and none of them come close to the customer service and owner dedication of Grand Design. We have a Grand Design Momentum 385th and absolutely love it. Every campground I go to it's like my Momentum is at an RV show. All we are doing is giving tours to everyone once they see it they all love it. You won't be disappointed in your Grand Design Reflection.
