Beat this!
New to the GD brand after owning a Outdoors Rv travel trailer. We bought our 2021 Imagine 2800bh in Feb, 2021 and I’m a bit shocked by all the issues we found during our inspection prior to towing her home. However, the biggest surprise awaited me when I got a receiver installed on the rear. I noticed the arctic blanket bulging downwards in the rear and decided to investigate....
What fell out (almost on my face) shocked me!
So...beat this! Post a photo and your experience with your rig regarding issues and or unexpected surprises post purchase.

On a side note; I’m not sure why the photo keeps on uploading upside down. Can someone clue me in on what I’m doing wrong? The photo is correctly oriented on my phone and it uploads inverted on here

wow, that is a bit disheartening....I would inform GD and ask them how this was a missed on their "industry exclusive" pre-delivery QC checks...

And I’ve emailed them this photo as well as a photo of my laundry list of issues that should be been caught during their pdi. So far the lady in customer service has been pleasant to deal with and I guess through all of this, we will be experiencing Gd customer service because no one should buy a travel trailer/rv only to have to schedule warranty work such as replacing complete door assemblies and frames etc.

Welcome to the forum and the club. I empathize with your dilemma, what you are experiencing I went through two tears ago (and still finding issues). Expect to be bombarded with..."yea but...all manufacturers have problems", "You need to be prepared to do the work yourself", "I have a perfect camper and no problems to share", "GD customer service is the best" among others. None of these will help you as you are left getting things straightened out and coping with the dealers scheduling, hold times, transport and delays.

I think your comments are right on the money unfortunately and these comments will be some that will be shared. The unfortunate thing is many of them are true even though they should not be. Seems especially true these days with so many RVs literally flying off of dealer lots. Makes me wonder if it is wise to trade up now and roll the dice again. I would be majorly upset if I traded what has been a good RV so far with some minor issues and ended up spending more money for a disaster.

I sure hope it smooths out for us because we have started this relationship with GD on a rough note. On a side note, the coil rinse hose that was missing at the time of purchase and that the selling dealer lied to us by stating "it doesnt come with the trailer anymore", was replaced by GD after explaining the situation to them over the phone.
