Hi all, picking up our new 2500RL next Monday and the dealer just hit me if we wanted any of these. Like buying a car I figure nope but any input? Being we will only be on the road a handful of times a year I dont think I will be adding anything.
1. Cornerstone Warranty Plan – Your coach comes with a 1 year limited warranty for manufacture defect only. Cornerstone Warranty is an exclusionary warranty plan for 5 years. Anything Grand Design chooses not to cover during or after that first year, Cornerstone will pick it up at a $200 deductible with any certified repair facility OR a $150 deductible if brought to ANY General RV Service Department. Additional benefits are Food, Lodging, SPOILED food (fridge repair) and Rental reimbursement if your trip is interrupted due to a repair. They also do on-site Service Calls which hardly any other company will do. It is cancellable for a refund if you trade your coach in or you can use it as resale value if you sell it privately. Having a Service Plan is so critical on an RV especially this size due to the amount of moving parts and the technology that comes with the coach.
2. Tyron Tire Bands – This is one of the most important items when it comes to safety and would be installed before you take delivery. Tyron Tire bands are devices that are placed inside the tire/wheel around the interior of the Coach’s wheel itself. This allows you to maintain control and full turning capabilities in the event of a tire blowout. These RV’s are very heavy and basically have a full apartment inside of them. A blowout in one of these is NOT the same as a simple blowout in a car/truck. When you have a blowout, the coach will remain in your control and you will be able to safely pull over and bring the coach to a stop without any major risk to the coach itself or your family. The video I have pasted here perfectly shows a Coach maintaining full control during a test blowout.

3. ECP Interior Exterior Coatings- ECP is an extremely effective product applied to the interior and exterior of your coach. The Exterior product prevents all fading, chalking, blistering, peeling, and insects. Heat damage and insects are brutal on our vehicles and if you pair that with the 1 to 2 coatings of Clear Coat on your RV; it only takes a few months for you to start to see some wear. It will also replace anything inside the coach that gets ripped, torn, or burned. Attached I have a picture of a customer had ECP applied to his coach. A few weeks later the storage compartment door broke and had to be replaced. Unfortunately the door was not protected and after just 4 months the door was completely yellow! We immediately took a picture and placed it in our book! It also goes on the inside where it prevents all spills, stains, and degradation to your interior. It will also replace anything inside the coach that gets ripped, torn, or burned. That is HUGE as no other company is offering this that I am aware of.
4. Tire and Wheel –This one is goes hand in hand with the Tyron Bands. The amount of weight on these tires/wheels is incredible and they cost a substantial amount to replace. You will receive UNLIMITED tire and/or rim replacement in the event of damage due to road hazards. This protection also covers any vehicle that is towing your travel trailer or any vehicle towing behind your motorhome. Basically, If you have a vehicle attached to your coach period, it is covered under this protection for unlimited claims.
5. CoachNet – Absolutely outstanding team out of Texas that is your 411 and 911 of everything RV. Think of them as a Full Concierge Service. Their biggest and #1 benefit is UNLIMITED mileage for towing at $0 cost. If you have a breakdown and the nearest Grand Design certified technician is 500 miles away, it does not matter. They will tow you to the nearest Grand Design at NO COST to you. I have seen them pay out an $18,000 towing bill for a customer who broke down in Montana. This is unheard of and is not offered by anyone else in the industry. They do not stop there, they also cover every vehicle in your house under the same unlimited mileage benefit. They cover your spouse and any children in the house aged 24 years and younger. They are there 24/7 for technical support with a REAL technician who will walk you through any issue. If they can’t help you they will have it towed to someone who can. This is RV Specific “AAA” type of coverage but on major steroids. When you are a member of CoachNet, you no longer call the individual warranty companies for your issues. You call CoachNet for EVERYTHING as they are you’re go-to guardian angels while at home or on the road. Truly an amazing service!!
6. ECO PRO – Interior Germ and Microbe elimination. This one could be beneficial but I leave this one up to you due to the COVID situation in the country. ECO PRO does eliminate 99.99% of all germs and microbes and keeps them eliminated for 5 years with fluids that are safe enough for human consumption. No hazardous chemicals or anything like that. It is used by the Tampa Bay Bucs in their stadium as well as the Kennedy Space Center.
