Owner report 11578993 · 2024-03-22 (March 22, 2024)
The camper does not have a GFCI receptacle within the camper. It does have a GFCI breaker. Unfortunately, the GFCI breaker is not easily accessible because you have to remove a couch before you can access the breaker. That does not follow ANSI code.

Owner report 11587162 · 2024-05-06 (May 6, 2024)
Took delivery of this new 2024 on [XXX], 2024. There has been a know problem with the rear stabilizing jacks being installed too long. Lippert is the manufacture of the jacks and their specifications require that the rear jacks be at least 7" from the ground in travel mode. Mine measure 3-5" from the ground when attached to the truck and level. This creates a a dangerous issue if a jack strikes the ground during travel and comes loose. It was conveyed to me that Grand Design made changes to this by installing a shorter rear jack system begi…

Owner report 11587981 · 2024-05-10 (May 10, 2024)
The entire rear section/walls of the camper have lifted and separated from the main frame. A licensed RV specialist has inspected the unit, and determined the main frame has severe issues and the unit should not be used or moved. There were several warning signs brought to the attention of Grand Design but they dismissed it as being within 'tolerance'. I'm a licensed contractor of 39 years and proved to them there is a major issue, but even their own service response technician dismissed it as being in 'tolerance'. Now it has turned into a cata…

Owner report 11649902 · 2025-03-22 (March 22, 2025)
Trailer is equipped with the Lippert ABS brake system. During final review of issues covered by warranty at the Dealer (General RV in Birch Run MI) the dealer recommended a wheel bearing re grease which I agreed to. During this procedure the left rear brakes were noted as totally worn out and the brake drum had a significant crack due to excessive heat from the dragging brake. This trailer has approx. 8000 mi of towing. As of now root cause has not been determined but if I had not opted for the wheel bearing grease service the problem would n…

Owner report 11729187 · 2026-04-04 (April 4, 2026)
Fifth wheel was purchased with a tire monitoring system included. It has not worked since we purchased it 8-19-2024. We have taken it twice to the dealer, Blue Compass and it still doesn't work. I am told the problem is they put the wrong sensors in the tires. Lippert and Grand Design are fighting about who's fault it is all while it still doesn't work. Not having the tire sensor/monitoring system working has created a safety issues for us. We have no idea if the tires get hot, start to lose air, all of which could happen without the system wor…
