GDRV Golden Thread Series: Laminated Units
The Grand Design RV Golden Threads are a set of key quality, innovative design, and service principles that differentiate Grand Design RVs from anything else in the RV world. These "Golden Threads" represent the core elements of care, craftsmanship, durability, and customer support that are woven into every design, build, and service decision and action made for each unit Grand Design builds.
Together they are a promise and a commitment to think through all the small and large details that you might not notice when shopping on the lot, but will make all the difference when you are on the road or happily parked up at your camping spot.
Laminated Units
At Grand Design RV, durability and strength go hand-in-hand with quality craftsmanship. That’s why we’ve committed to a laminated construction process that ensures your RV is built to withstand the test of time and the rigors of the road.
With aluminum framing for major openings, fully laminated rear walls and slide end walls, and a pressure-tested assurance on every wall, our laminated units embody the innovation and reliability you’ve come to expect from Grand Design.
What is it?
Our laminated construction process is a carefully engineered system designed to maximize the structural integrity and longevity of your RV. Key features include:
Aluminum Framing for Major Openings: Doors, windows, and other significant openings are framed in lightweight, durable aluminum to enhance strength without adding unnecessary weight.
Fully Laminated Rear Walls: These walls are designed to provide superior durability and prevent common issues like delamination or sagging.
Fully Laminated Slide End Walls: Reinforced slide walls offer added protection and ensure structural stability when your RV is in use.
Pressure Testing on Every Wall: Each wall undergoes rigorous pressure testing to ensure an airtight, weatherproof seal, preventing potential leaks or weaknesses.
This process is meticulous, but the results are worth it: an RV that stands up to the elements and the journey ahead.
Why It Matters
RVers need a product they can trust, and our laminated construction ensures your RV remains strong, stable, and secure through countless adventures. By framing major openings in aluminum and using full lamination techniques, we eliminate weak spots that could compromise the integrity of the unit.
The added step of pressure testing every wall ensures you won’t encounter unwelcome surprises like leaks or drafts, common issues in poorly constructed units. With Grand Design, you can confidently enjoy your travels knowing your RV is built for the long haul.
A Legacy of Excellence
Laminated construction is more than just a technical feature—it’s a reflection of our commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. While other manufacturers may cut corners, Grand Design goes above and beyond to ensure our RVs exceed industry standards.
This dedication to excellence is why our customers trust us, year after year, to deliver RVs that combine style, strength, and reliability.
Every laminated unit we produce is a testament to our promise of quality. From the first road trip to the fiftieth, your Grand Design RV will continue to perform, offering a worry-free experience.
