    Just pulled the trigger on a Grand Design

    Just signed the paper work on a Grand Design 5th wheel 320MKS

    Plans are to use it in our investigation of where to move to.
    Figure we will be staying in it 2 -3 weeks at a time as we review if this, wherever this is, is the city we want to move to.

    Once we decide where, put our house on the market, and Bust a Move!

    I had a rear kitchen floorplan and I discovered that the rear is where the most movement is and things in the fridge need to be secured. You will enjoy those theater seats.

    Thanks for the leads to the RV forums!
    We pick it up on June 8 and staying at a campground near the dealership, just in case there are issues. (Dealership is 80+ miles away from our house.)
    Then bring it home and start loading it up. Once loaded up, we plan on staying a couple nights at the KOA here in town to make sure we are prepared for the first real camping trip.

    I hope you have better luck with yours. I bought mine new, and it was such a "lemon" Grand Design sent a trucking company to my house to pick it up for repairs. Initially, GD sent their "mobile tech" to my house. More than he could handle. Additionally, none of the local RV dealership would touch it. Not even the place of purchase. What a POS!

    That Sucks!
    So far the only issue we have had, was the "battery Charger" was not working. Long story, but being we stayed the first night next door to the Dealer we bought the camper from, we stopped in the next morning and they replaced it.

    Congrats and hope you enjoy it! Got a 2019 GD Reflection 337 and it has been outstanding. Get a good RV specific nav system, these will allow you to put your specific trailer specs in and avoid roads, bridges, and overpasses where you don’t fit!

    I have heard that grand design customer service is above all others....not saying they build a better product but stand behind issues.

    Followed your advice, Thanks. I got a Garmin RV 895
    Could not see why I could not load "5th wheel", then saw I had selected ENGLISH (South Africa), which was the pop-up option. Once selected ENGLISH (United States) all is good.
