Example complaints

Body and structure: “My fifth wheel has extreme frame flex which caused compartment doors to come open while traveling sometimes allowing things to fall out while traveling. Having a screw driver falling out and hitting another car was a major concern. Grand Design has the camper to address the frame flex. I believe the frame flex was the cause as sometimes the latches wouldn't engage.”

NHTSA complaint #11664760, filed 2025-06

Other or unknown: “Bish’s RV in Boise has confirmed that our unit is experiencing frame flex again. Our RV is under warranty and we have been waiting for over a month to hear back from Grand Design. This began in January 2023, we took the unit to a service center for repairs, which took over a month. However, after towing just 45 miles, the issue reoccurred. We were then sent to McClain’s in Sanger, Texas, where SRT Chris found that lag bolts had been left out during manufacturing. He replaced the seal plates with thicker steel and made necessary adjustments. …”

Latches, locks and linkages: “Since we have purchased our RV we have had several issues with it. Since the first trip the entry door will not stay shut while in transit and continues through today We had requested the dealer check it out but the issue was not remedied. During the time we have owned the RV we have had to have the roof replaced due to poor workmanship at the factory. We had had the TSB for the rear compartment completed however the cargo doors are not aligned properly and one door on the driver side is starting to wear through the aluminum on the side. …”

NHTSA complaint #11658816, filed 2025-05

Suspension: “We are having issues with the frame flex failing, screws popping out from around the slides and also around the wheel wells. Seams on the exterior are pulling apart, roof is pulling away in several spots. The slides are pulling in crooked, external compartment doors open while traveling down the highway. Sawdust is noted in multiple spots in the interior of camper. We had the springs fall apart ( they literally fell off onto the highway!) and caused the axle to shift forward while driving down the interstate. …”
