Matt is definitely living off the fat of the land. NO talk of Lippert and frame flex. We can all agree that this is a beautiful unit, however we have also learned that it's what we don't see can be the problem.

Buy a Grand Design and you are gambling with Frame Flex. I will never purchase a Grand Design based on how they’ve treated their customers the past couple of years regarding frame flex.

I feel like this an attempt by Grand Designs to try to make themselves look better. Are those two employees there to censor what is being said? Highly suspect. What is Grand Designs doing to prevent frame flex? What are they doing to improve build quality, quality control, and customer service. I applaud KZbinrs like @RVRigor, @LizAmazing, @PavingNewPaths, and @AmpedtoGlamp who are trying to be agents of change in the RV industry. I haven't even bought an RV and have been wanting to get one for years but the industry is broken and I'm starting to get put off by it. Something needs to change. Matt you have a strong following and a lot of influence, I sure hope that you start holding these companies accountable and start asking them the hard questions.

No solar? No batteries or battery prep? If you got the generator option what does that do to cargo carrying capacity?
@KylesRV8 ай бұрын
It has solar standard and a solar upgrade option. Like most towable RV’s it doesn’t come with batteries from the factory. It is prepped for batteries. The Onan 5500 generator weighs about 300 pounds. It has about 3,000 pounds of CCC. It would be more of a pin weight concern than a CCC problem. We will probably upgrade to the 8,000 pound axles. We are considering an Influence.

Auto leveling is getting closer to the exterior. Almost…Power recline, nice. Same cheap old window opening, finger pinchers. Not a House when it comes to the sink, money would have been better spent elsewhere. Master Bedroom, nice job. Pantry on the wrong side for road mode, switch the coffee bar with the pantry and the kitchen expands as well doing that.

No cupholder in the recliners,the end tables next to the sofa has no storage. Not a enough room for four chairs at the kitchen table.

That area is not a production area. I believe it is in their newer customer service building. Grand Design has multiple large manufacturing plants. I have toured their facilities. It is not uncommon for filmed RV factory tours to be done when they are not in active production. Most of the RV manufacturing workforce is Amish and prefer to not be on video or pictures.

Dislikes. 1. Needs a Four burner stove. Three burner too small. 2.needs trio fridge for larger platters side by side too tight. 3. Needs walk in shower for older people. The step up is a no no, causes falls. Also need deeper shower to accommodate a shower chair with arms. 4. Window show light thru edges. Need edge covers? 5.needs to be 4 feet longer to accommodate the living area and table. 5. Wasted space behind tv , bring out on a door that swing open for shelves. 6. Fireplace should slide out for more storage.(number one thing is you can't have too much storage.) You could put drawers in the stairs for shoes. 7. Kitchen needs diswasher. Likes 1. The hand rail coming in. 2. Kitchen island. 3. Bed side tables. 4. Bedroom closet.

TLDR grand design kills one of their brands, introduces a new one, raises prices 20 grand to pay for all of their frame failures of the brand they are discontinuing, and then sends out the shills to push the faulty products. What incentives did grand design give general RV for all these fluff videos You are pushing on people. It is sad and pathetic.
