Defect Description:

STRUCTURE:BODY

Potential Consequences:

We are a fulltime RVer living in this unit for 11 months. We had missing lag bolts that attaches the upper deck to the frame and what bolts were installed were too small. They were 3/8" x 3" in a 1/2" hole that was supposed to be 1/2" x 3.5". We called Grand Design in Indiana and opened a case. They told us to take our unit to the dealership where we bought it and have the frame inspected for flex and the proper lag bolts installed. Grand Design told us if there was any cracks in the steel then it will need further repair in Indiana. When we arrived and during this process; they found other issues. crack in bedroom wall, wrinkled wallpaper, crack in the sill plate and half the screws missing. Did some work on the end cap on the roof. They told us the flex was 1/4" on both sides and that was ok. They called in a welder for the sill plate. Replaced all the lag bolts. After receiving it back none of the doors closed correctly as if the whole unit was now twisted. We decided to trade it in as we don't trust it now. When we took it back for the switch we noticed the end cap had separated and see daylight at the floor. We told the manager because they already put it on the market to sell. This unit is compromised and should not be sold. We saw that our grand design solitude was transferred to another facility that we happen to stop for warranty on our new 5th wheel and saw it. We talked to the manager again and said you can't sell this; it's compromised and they said they already did and were prepping it for the new owners. When we found out that our Grand Design had issues it cost us a lot to get out of it and into another unit so we weren't without a home. This unit is not safe to be on the road. When we hitched up the new 5th wheel of same size we were shocked in the difference. The grand design did not tow smoothly; there is still something wrong with it and afraid someone else owns it now so a dealer can make a buck.

STRUCTURE:BODY

Potential Consequences:

2023 Grand Design Solitude 2930RL, entry door opens when driving, even when fully closed and locked. This happened to me on Friday 9/6/2024. When I towed it again on Wednesday 9/11/2024 I made absolutely sure the entry door was fully closed and locked. I even explained and showed my wife to confirm it was closed and locked based on my experience Friday. When we arrived home 9/11/2024 and checked the door, it was still locked but the door was open. This is a major safety concern as the door could lead to a collision with a vehicle passing by. It can also lead to objects inside the RV falling out, becoming projectiles and obstacles for other motorists to avoid or have hit their vehicle or worst, their windshield. The door is not part of a smart system so there was no warning notification or message. I have not had the dealership try to reproduce this issue yet at this time. This all happened within 5 days.

Additional Notes:

we have frame flex issues, the doors to the generator compartment has come open while driving, the safety lights are being pushed out from the body, trim is coming off, our bedroom slide does not close all the way, our living room slide broke and dropped down. Our hitch flex while on the our trucks, and the trim is moving so the movement on the frame is actively happening. We had the unit now for 1 year now but these issues started since we purchased the unit. this is the complete list of issues we can see: 1. Bedroom Slide is not closing tight, major gaps at the bottom compared to the top. 2. Hitch flexes while attached to truck 3.Decals have been pushed and peeling around the trim, due to trim moving. 4.

Defect Description:

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

I have an inclusion (crack?) on the frame web of both main frames just forward of the axle assembly. I have seen this similar inclusion on other RVs that are the same model. There seems to be a major defect with this model. Also I have missing fasteners in the structural wall assembly that also seems to be chronic.
