I would think twice about Grand Design Momentum. I own one it has been camped in twice. So far I have replaced all grease seals and brakes shoes. GD response was a link to LCI were I could buy new parts. Awning upgrade, Kitchen faucet replacement, Rear toy hauler ramp repair to keep it from falling off. Five new tires.Garage lights replaced. Propane tank retainers replaced. Fuel filter added to gen set. Awning light replaced. Replaced DVD/stereo system. All of this was done out of my wallet. The last straw for me was when my main (center) 15K AC went out at 25 hours of use. We where out of town with 3 guest in RV. GD was of no help. I ended up getting the only Dometic certified installer in area to replace it. Cost to me
$ 900. I took the time and effort to bring old AC home. I contacted GD once we got home and offered to take it local dealer or whoever they wanted to look at it within 75 miles. That was 3 weeks ago never heard anything from them.
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.

I just wanted to add. I am not new to the RV game. Started 25 years ago with tent, then a pop up, 2 travel trailers and GD is my 3rd 5th wheel. My second was a KZ New Vision Toy hauler. By far the best I have owned. It was great RV with just normal small RV problems, I owned it for 10 years. As far as " not bright " on warranty issues. I may be old school but I ask politely for help or service. Once ignored I fix things at my own cost quickly.
Yes I am unhappy with GD but main goal is to keep others from making same mistake I did.

SC1 is for real. They've posted the same experience over on IRV2.
If its real, then he isn't very bright to spend all that money to fix things that should have been covered under warranty, AND IF true that GD never got involved. Then I would NEVER own one or recommend anyone buy one, either way, pathetic set of circumstances.
