FAQs

Is Grand Design worth the extra money? ›

If you're looking for a high-quality towable camper that you know is going to last a while, then a Grand Design RV could very well be for you. If price is a big factor in your decision, then you may want to consider another quality option that may cost less.

The Average Lifespan

Most travel trailers are likely to last for around ten years at least. If you take care of your model regularly, it might even last for 20 years.

If you're spending most of your time in the RV, go on long haul trips, spend weeks bouncing around, or go on extended trips, a fifth wheel is usually best. A larger fifth wheel gives you more room to live. Enhanced towability will make long trips more comfortable and less stressful.

Although 5th wheel trailers are bigger and offer much more living space, the fact that they are bigger makes it much harder to find campgrounds where they are allowed because of their size. They cost a bit more compared to travel trailers and they are heavier so you can't pull them with an SUV.

The best 5th wheel for full time living is a trailer that is less than 36 feet long. Longer trailers are harder to manage, and some regions have regulations about trailers over 36 feet. A 36-foot trailer is also easier to haul with a 3/4-ton truck. For height, a trailer less than 13 feet, 6 inches is recommended.

Look High and Low for Damage

Don't just assess the tires for signs of wear and tear. Look for signs of water damage, rust, dents, cracks, and other problems throughout the motorhome. Although many of these issues are repairable, some are not, such as extensive water damage or significant undercarriage issues.
