Grand Design Shelf Collapse - Cheap Construction

The rear shelf in my 2022 Grand Design Reflection 28BH 5th wheel RV collapsed during the return trip from a camping trip. I show the damage, why it collapsed, and how I fixed it. The shelves are held together using staples and are supported by rather weak and flimsy engineered wood that cannot support significant weight. It is best to store heavy items for transport on the floor or on the bed - NOT on the shelves. I'm mostly satisfied with the Reflection 28BH RV, but the construction of the shelving units and drawer bottoms is poor. The RV is a 2022 Grand Design Reflection 28BH 5th wheel and the shelving unit is at the rear of the RV in the bunkhouse. This unit was built in August 2021 during the dreaded COVID-19 construction period. Otherwise, the RV has performed fairly well aside from the weak and creaky Schwintek kitchen slide.

I have 2019 Reflection 29RS. Different shelves but same failure.... Agree that this is too cheaply done. Disappointed....
