NHTSA Complaint #11590456 — 2020 GRAND DESIGN SOLITUDE

2020 Grand Design 390 RK Noticed trim molding under bedroom area of 5th wheel rv had dropped from original position, on both sides of the trailer, in approximately same location. Took to a Grand Design dealer who inspected unit and stated there was a frame flex issue. After two weeks of the unit being at the dealership, Grand Design decided to send a factory technician to examine the rv and its issue. The rv has full body paint which has caused concern to remove the front cap and damage the paint scheme for inspection. Awaiting result of tech's examination. Reading another reported incident for a 2020 Solitude, we have also had the seam at the top of the front cap where it meets the roof 'pop' the screwed in metal strip securing the two together. I repaired this and re-sealed the repaired area. We have also had the outrigger braces above the axles, on both sides of the trailer, bend and/or crack welds where they were attached to the frame. Upon notification, Grand Design stated I would need to contact Lippert for possible reparation for the repairs. Eventually Grand Design agreed to pay for the materials to repair these outrigger braces and I paid for the labor. There is also a TSB for rear floor support. From the factory there was one cross brace support installed in the space over the rear drawer slide, and the screws mounting the brace were not tightly secured. I had two additional cross braces fabricated and I installed them in this same area to provide additional support.
