My dealer started carrying this Grand Designs. DO NOT like this brand. Poor build quality, cheap interior treatments, and the worst none functional floorplans. I've looked mainly at 5ers, but a few TTs.
Guess others like it, otherwise they won't be in business long.
When you say "build quality", what are you referring to? Materials? Workmanship? I haven't looked at their fivers or even their larger travel trailers, but I did look an Imagine model. It appeared to fit squarely in the market it was meant for. I have no problem with the materials aside from some plastic fittings here and there. Doors, cabinets, drawers all appeared square, sturdy, secure and worked as desired. I love the floor plans. They have large bathrooms, roomier bedrooms, and lots of open space in the living area compared to almost any other model in their similar weight/length class. The only real drawback is the bedroom is not accessible if the slide is in. But the bathroom is! It has a sliding door that keeps it out of the way of the slide mechanism. The TV is mounted across from the seating, not at a right angle. I saw no glaring flaws, not even any sawdust in the cracks and crevasses.
