“While towing this 5th wheel camper we observed vertical motion between the truck and camper body. We had a mobile service technician expose the front frame and inspect, he found 3 frame cracks. We have an appointment with Grand Design on June 9, 2025 for their inspection & repair.”

NHTSA complaint #11645040, filed 2025-02

“This is for a 2021 Grand Design Reflection 28BH fifth wheel that we purchased a month ago. The slide out will not work properly causing major issues. We had to dismantle and remove the refrigerator and use a jack to prop up the slide out to get it to slide back in. This is after having to take apart the coverings to force the slide out back on it's track for it twisted and bent due to one side going out while the other side didn't. …”

“We have signs of excessive frame flex in a Grand Design Reflection RV. We have allowed them 2x to inspect and they have botched both inspections.

Grand Design needs to step up and support all customers not just momentum and solitudes because they are under investigation. I urge the NHTSA to expand their investigation to all Grand Design Models. …”

“1. DETACHED REAR WALL The interior screws on the back wall tore a horizontal hole (approx 1/2 inch), and interior cabinetry joints are pulling apart. I looked outside to see if there were any signs that were indicative of rear wall separation. The Reflection 150 has an underbelly covering, so mostly the structure/frame is not readily viewable. However, investigating outside I found the black skirt wrinkled/buckled on the rear/drivers side. Upon googling, this is apparent indication of rear wall brackets broken/rear wall detached. 2. …”

“In 2021, we began noticing wall movement in the interior of the RV, fasteners, paneling and interior walls getting loose and moving. After more trips we noticed scratches in the flooring and wood chips laying on the interior floor when we would push the main slide out. We also began noticing the large slide didn’t seem to be closing tight to the outside wall on one end. After more inspection we noticed large roller marks appearing on the underside of the main slide. We scheduled our unit into the dealership for review. …”
