    Very interesting lawsuit. I will be following this to see where it leads. When looking at the structural components underneath all the fluff, it is obvious that a certain company has taken shortcuts.

    I imagine they'll be recalling and installing spring hangar support upgrades on axles that don't have them.

    I sent an email to Grand Design regarding the Spring Hanger issue. Here is their response.

    Mulligan

    Good morning

    Thank you for reaching out to me; I’m always happy to help and answer questions.

    Actually Lippert is a major supplier of frames throughout the entire rv industry and they have actually addressed the potential concern across the board (all frame models) by adding additional supports in the hanger locations. Yes, all of our Grand Design frames, including the 303rls have this modification.

    If there are any other questions, please let me know.

    Thank you and have an excellent Thursday.

    Cool Spring hanger saga continues

    Here is my response. Sorry, if this is convulated. I also asked the question regarding your comment about a recall.

    Mulligan

    Thanks for your quick reply. Hope your Thursday is going well.

    A couple of points.


    “Actually Lippert is a major supplier of frames throughout the entire rv industry and they have actually addressed the potential concern across the board (all frame models) by adding additional supports in the hanger locations.”

    Not true and incorrect. Outdoors RV Manufacturing and Northwoods Manufacturing (makers of Arctic Fox) make their own frames in house. They are predominantly in the western USA and Canada
    You have just learned something today...your very welcome.

    “Yes, all of our Grand Design frames, including the 303rls have this modification.”


    For those frames that are not modified is it the intention of either Grand Design or Lippert to recall and upgrade spring handlers support on axels that don’t have them?

    What model year did the modifications start?

    Where the Grand Design dealers notified of this modifications?
    If so when?

    How do I know if I purchase a used Grand Design that it has/hasn’t been up graded?

    By copy to Brian Biccum was Voyager RV aware of this frame hanger issue?

    Perhaps splitting hairs, but I do not see it as untrue/incorect. The statement was that LCI is a MAJOR supplier, not the ONLY supplier.

    “Actually Lippert is a major supplier of frames throughout the entire rv industry”...not splitting hairs...both Outdoors RV and Arctic Fox are in the RV industry...are they not?
    Lippert does not supply frames to the “entire RV industry”...that is factually incorrect.
    Appreciate your feedback
