Contact Paper used in Reflection interiors

[Mr. Goodwrench]

We have a 2020 Reflection 295RL 150 Series. Recently, we noticed something funny looking on the lower corner of our sliding bedroom door. upon inspection we found the finish bubbled and peeling. The finish of the door is contact paper!I don't know why we were shocked but were disappointed because of all the hype that GD does to try and impress new customers with it's claim of "high quality". I removed the door and was able to get the contact paper to lay down again then we decided to put the door into storage and use the trailer without it.

Now I wonder how much of the interior finishes are actually contact paper covered and not real wood? We are really disappointed in what GD touts as a premium product. Has anyone else found other places where contact paper is used in the interior of their Reflections?

You are going to find it everywhere. The wood for my outdoor kitchen was pressed board with a cherry/mahogany paper and most of my interior is the same especially the trim. Probably used to reduce weight and of course, cost. I think my cabinets may be wood?
When I redesigned my outdoor kitchen it all went away and was replaced with 5/8" real wood.

The “high quality” they refer to is about their pre delivery inspection not the materials they use
I haven’t seen where they say they are a premium product

I extensively researched trailers before I bought my Imagine and I never once thought they were of a higher quality than others
I bought because they were cheaper and checked off more boxes than any but I knew my cabinets were fake as well as the countertops

The only solid wood is pretty much the cabinet doors and drawer facings. Everything else is wrapped, like 98% of everything built.

Shoot, if it was all made of solid wood, you probably would need a Class 8 tractor to pull it.

I just noticed Transcends advertise hardwood drawers as well
Is Imagine the only line of Grand Design using fake wood for cabinets?

Yes, their current decor can't be made out of solid wood.

The older, very dark cabinetry was solid wood cabinet faces and drawer fronts as well.

Yes I thought the older ones were

It definitely is the biggest issue with Imagine
I wonder if they will change it in future models
Mine are warping pretty bad

I am having the same problem (contact paper ‘laminate’ coming loose) in my Imagine 3000QB. Any ideas on how to fix it?

All you can do is remove and reps per with the hopes you can find a matching paper.
