DUE TO EXTREME FRAME FLEX, THE WELDS IN THE FRONT OF MY COACH BROKE AWAY FROM THE METAL. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE ONLY THING HOLDING MY 44' TOY HAULER ON MY TRUCK WAS THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SKIN OF THE COACH. I WAS HORRIFIED TO FIND THAT I WAS DRIVING MY COACH UNDER THESE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS CAUSING EXTREME RISK TO MY FAMILY AND THOSE ON THE ROAD. TO BE CLEAR, THIS FAILURE ONLY SHOWED ITSELF WITH ONLY MINOR SYMPTOMS TO AN UNTRAINED EYE. AFTER READING ALL THE COMMENTS ONLINE, I REALIZED THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED FOR EVERYONE CONCERNED

I am having the frame flex issues as well as others. I’m not getting anywhere with grand design. The doors come open when traveling if not strapped from the inside. Pin box on the hitch moves excessively, interior panels are moving in the front, middle and rear of the trailer.

There are several things starting off with frame flexing issue causing numerous of parts to fail and move out of place. The manufacturer did a repair of this and my confidence in it being repaired correctly is very low. I do not feel safe towing this RV anywhere. Second, the broken leaf spring on the front axle. This could have caused the vehicle to lose control and cause a serious accident. It has been repaired. We have had the entry doors come open on us during towing. Nothing was lost from this. Lastly, the master bedroom slide has come out about 3 inches during travel. They repaired the inside bottom brace at the service center.
