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.

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.
