    Poor fit around fender

    There is another thread going on that is basically the same as this. It appears that everyone is just settling for this as normal. I do not see any response from Grand design concerning this.

    As you can see from the photo of our 337RLS, the lower right corner of the dining room slide looks to be bent out and there is a significant gap. The shroud sticks out and catches the wind. Eventually, the wind and vibration is going to cause this to crack and blow off.

    Out dealer tells us this is normal and the best they can do. The claim all of the grand designs are this way. Seriously? This is not a low end trailer. Is this the best fit that we can expect?

    Your Photo did not make it through.
    My 337 probably looks the same way according to your description.

    Yeah we are sitting in a campground and I couldn't get the photo to attach thru my phone. I thought I cancelled the post but obviously didn't.

    After reading everybody's posts, I think that many of the reflections may be like this. If you look closely you can see that the angle support has a twist to it however. If the twist wasn't there, the fit would be better. It think that this could be corrected but in doing so, may risk cracking the fender shroud.
