Grand Design

Looking at buying a new 5th wheel around the first of the year. Grand Design has caught my eye. Let me hear from the Grand Design owners about the good and bad. Not interested in other brands right now.

The Reflection line of 5th wheels will be available with self leveling very soon.

We have a Grand Design Momentum 385TH and are keeping a write-up running on it. So far, we have been very pleased. They make a really product, and back it up with excellent support.

If you do decide to go with GD I highly recommend B & B RV in Redding. We have used Happy Daze in past years but not fully satisfied. With GD we opted to drive to Redding and we are grateful we did. They offer exceptional service. We have owned four FW and B&B by far has given us the best service. It's a 2 hour drive from Woodland and worth every extra mile! Feel free to PM us if you have any questions. We love our GD Reflection-best FW we've ever owned.

We had a similar issue but found a GD dealer three hours from our home who is top notch. To us it's worth the extra miles. Is there another dealer you could use if you did need service?

We have a GD Momentum 385. Very happy with it. As others have said customer service is outstanding. We had a few small issues all taken care of quickly and easily.

We purchased ours in April so not a lot of time on the clock yet. Have had 2 issues - first was the driver's side slide broke. Our dealer (Colrain RV in Indianapolis) fixed it for us. Second was the awning started to pull away from the trailer which again the dealer took care of for us promptly. We just returned from our furthest trip over Labor Day (180 miles one-way). Pulls great and no other issues. We leave for Topsail this Friday.

It was mentioned in this thread to make sure you have a good dealer. I wholeheartedly agree. GD's customer service is second to none but the dealer, in my opinion, is just as important. We have dealt with Colrain RV for a number of years and have always been satisfied.

Good luck on your search!

X2 on good dealer......we bought our Reflection in CO but we live in CA and B&B RV in Redding has a great GD service dept! So any GD owners in N. Ca they are worth the extra miles for outstanding service.

We've had our Solitude for over 2 1/2 years, with about 18,000 miles so far. Totally pleased with it. Haven't seen anything I would trade it for yet.

One year ago we picked up our Grand Design Solutude and have enjoyed it ever since. For the money one of the best RV investments we have made. Enjoy your new GD!

We bought our Reflection 303 in Nov 2013 and have over 12000 towing miles. We are very happy with it. Although we've only had minor issues, Grand Design service and support is outstanding. Every other owner we've met is also pleased. Check out the owners forum.
