Why Are Owners Taking Legal Action?
Ongoing Class Action Lawsuit Against Grand Design
A class action lawsuit filed in April 2021 alleges that Grand Design knowingly sold defective trailers and used “band-aid” fixes to avoid liability [1].
The lawsuit, filed in a Florida federal court, claims that:
- Grand Design was aware of structural and design flaws but continued to sell the defective trailers.
- The company misled customers by providing temporary, ineffective repairs that fail after warranty periods expire.
- Many owners reported ongoing propane leaks, water damage, and structural failures, even after multiple repair attempts.
Case Information:
- Lawsuit Name: Gregory Gorecki et al. v. Grand Design RV, LLC
- Case Number: 8:21-cv-01023-MSS-JSS
- Filed In: U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida

Common Myths About the Solitude Trailer Lawsuit
Myth: “Grand Design is fixing the problem for free, so I don’t need to take legal action.”
Fact: Many owners report that the manufacturer’s repairs do not fully fix the problem, leaving them vulnerable to future defects and financial loss.
Myth: “Only people who were physically injured can sue.”
Fact: Even if you were not injured, you may still qualify if your trailer has known safety defects or lost value.
Myth: “If I already had my trailer repaired, I can’t join the lawsuit.”
Fact: If your trailer still experiences issues despite repairs, you may still be eligible for compensation.
