Reaching a Grand Design Corporate Representative

[Grammy&Grandad]

So true "you can't please everyone". If we could combine features from three different RVs, we would have the perfect one. The kitchen design has us looking at other brands now, which is hard because the 380FL is our favorite.

We have a 380FL. Although I agree that the lack of space next to stove is an inconvenience, we saw it as a trade off for the full height pantry, which was more important to us. Additionally, the current design takes advantage of the pantry walls sitting on the slide floor and helping to support the weight of pantry contents. I think if you split that pantry into an upper and lower cabinet pair, you’d be hard pressed to support a meaningfully helpful upper cabinet on that exterior slide out wall.

Nate Goldenberg quit this week. Along with Micah Staley. Rob Groover is now in charge or Solitude and Momentum.

Those guys have been there for a while , wonder if they are going to end up at Alliance like a few others already have.

Most units have wall cabinets in the slides including the 375 which is almost a reverse 380. I don't think supporting a wall cabinet would be an issue. We went with the 375 but considered the 380 and that was on the list of mods. That kitchen is just to cramped.

Now if I could only solve the lack of awnings on the 375

We were looking at the Montana 3761 which has a counter to the left of the stove but a smaller pantry on the other side of the stairs going up to the bedroom. DW liked the larger pantry and the placement of it in the Solitude and didn't think the lack of counter around the stove as a problem. To each their own.

Uh-oh...Interesting to see long term employees leave.

I had a conversation this week with a a member of senior GDRV leadership. Life has some awesome opportunities both in work and family areas and these folks are pursuing them as anyone of us would consider. Transitioning the new leaders who are also long time GDRV team leaders, is ongoing......GDRV, dealers, we and other stakeholders are in good hands.
