Grand Design does not influence the forum at all. They are all paying members, same as the rest. If they went after members, and failed to follow the rules of the forum, then I would ban them as well. I encourage productive dialog on the forum, but I refuse to put up with people who's entire agenda is to bully and intimidate other users or the manufacturer in order to get what they want.
Grand Design does not run Granddesignowners.com, I do. I also run Trailmanorowners.com. I allow Grand Design to represent themselves on the forum in the manufacturer's section.

The Grand Design Owners Forum is tightly controlled for negative comments so don't get fooled like I did.
GD might be influencing the private owners of the forum if negative feedback isn't allowed, and/or gets deleted.
I've actually never seen a forum being totally run by a given manufacture whose products are the reason the forum exists. Sometimes company reps will post if people have questions, but from what I've seen, company employees don't participate very actively - that's been my experience with other forums I'm on.
I looked at a huge GD 5th wheel toy hauler recently after hearing about them here on RV.net.
I wasn't impressed with the workmanship on the paneling, trim pieces, etc, and I didn't even go more than 1 step inside the door.
