2022 Grand Design Reflection Body and structure Problems

“We purchased the coach fall 2022. First major trip was in summer 2023. The main slide out failed (stopped working halfway out and would not extend or retract) the second night of camping. There was not a local repair facility available. A mobile repair person was able to get the slide out retracted. He informed us there was only one screw holding the main slide out frame in place. We wrapped a ratchet strap around the coach to hold the slide out in so we could at least continue our trip. …”

“After the trailer collapsed, I’m deeply concerned for my children’s safety and the safety of others. Despite raising these issues, the manufacture Grand Design has deflected responsibility and refused to act, even while under warranty. I kindly request immediate attention and a formal response. I previously brought it to Grand Design in Elkhart, Indiana while it was under warranty, but they declined both inspection and repair. I am really struggling with why RVs are not federally regulated. …”

“-Baggage compartment doors, when latched securely and locked with key, would open during travel down the highway at random. Luckily no cargo was lost (I take turns very slowly and noticed flapping baggage doors in my side view mirrors pretty quickly). This has happened on multiple occasions, and continued to happen after multiple dealership service visits that supposedly rectified the issue. This issue first appeared within 100 miles of purchasing this travel trailer brand new. …”

“-Entry door of travel trailer opens during travel even with both deadbolt & handle locks in locked positions. -This could allow items inside travel trailer to be sucked out onto roadway. That could lead to property damage, injuries, & even death to myself, my passengers, & any other vehicle on the same roadway as me. Potentially making impact with road signs, other vehicles, bicyclists, or even pedestrians on side of roadway. This has also allowed diesel exhaust soot to be sucked inside the travel trailer, coating the ENTIRE interior. …”

“The large slide that has the fridge and dinette has a inadequate schwintek slide mechanism that fails and leaves the buyer to fix out of their own pocket. About all of the floor plan 28BH has this problem. Grand Design may attempt to fix it but it's a bandaid. I have had to pay out of pocket to get the VROOM system to replace the schwintek system along with everyone else that has it. The schwintek slide system is weak and problematic as it strips gears, looses timing and burns up motors. We have only used our camper for going on three years.”
