Grand Design (Mixed tier): Grand Design's single-axle entry line, new for 2024 - a walk-on roof, R-40 roof / R-11 floor / R-9 wall insulation, heated and enclosed underbelly with suspended tanks and GD's owner-service reputation are real advantages at this price, but it is the cheapest, newest line in the range under Winnebago ownership with no long track record yet, so it does not inherit the 'better' rating of pre-2020 Grand Design.

THE READ
