    Cool First Year Check-up

    I took our GD 311BHS in to get its first year check-up. Most of the work I could have done myself, but I wanted to have the axles checked for grease. I would like to give a big shout out to Grand Design and to ExploreUSA in Seguin for not only checking the axles but for replacing the grease seals and the backing plates. Most folks would have just said clean the backing plates and re-use, but GD agreed to replace them at the request of ExploreUSA.

    All though this forum we hear about Grand Design stepping up and taking care of their owners (including me several times), but they also take care of their dealers in making them look good to the buyer.

    Now let's get a big weather warm up so we can start camping again. Our winter in Texas has been colder than usual, snow when you didn't expect it, sleet, wind and just dadgum cold. I feel for the rest of the country, but I'm ready to head to the campground!

    You just reminded me, I've got to get under the rig and see what brand of axles I have.

    Be sure to have them checked. Our dealership told me that they have seen GD purchased in early 2017 thru mid 2017 have the bad seals. They thought it was about 6-8 months where GD got a bad batch of axles from Libbert. Make sure that you suggest to your service rep that if the backing plates are covered in grease that they as GD for new backing plates also.
