Grand Design TRANSCEND XPLOR 265BH reviews

We took our 2022 256BH out for a test run last week and loved the layout., although not crazy with the walkthrough bathroom. There are a few flaws in the design of the trailer that could be improved upon. Safety wise, there are no side flashers when turning for people in your blind spot. Storage under the dinette and couch are not high enough to store a case of bottled water. The kitchen window opens up behind the door when opened, therefore useless during the day. It would be worth the extra cost to have a window that opens beside the couch. The curtains are see through at night with interior lights turned on. It would be nice to be able to manage the lights in the main room, they are either all on or off. The light over the bed is so bright that it's blinding when lying down. And finally the connections under the trailer for propane, black and grey water are so far back that you have to get on your knees to find them. besides the listed shortfalls we really enjoyed our experience with it so far.

They were happy to sell us an RV but didn't care to work with us to fix the problems we're having. Both Chris in sales and Greg in service told us we bought an RV with the largest ac unit, 1500 btus, that the unit was capable of handling. I read the brochures, removed the filter on the unit and found out that it was a smaller unit. The unit runs so much that the 30 amp breaker heats up to the point that we are unable to use the microwave to cook for our grandchildren. They have the RV and can't find anything wrong with it. The videos my wife took of me repeatedly resetting the main breaker show how poorly a design this RV is. They keep telling us its just the way they design these units. Its like dental work, they haven't made any upgrades in decades. Warren Wilbratte Show less

Have had for 2 years and used one month and two trips of 1500 miles. No towing issues or mechanical issues. Only problem is a pungent smell in the trailer that gets in your clothes and will not go away. Tried the usual de-gassing procedures but to no avail. Trailer layout is good with front bedroom and bath separate from living area. Wife has Asthma so I will try ammonia treatment next to try and decrease smell. Show less

This has been an excellent travel trailer for us. Outstanding Floorplan. No issues at all. Love the walk through bathroom from living room into bedroom. Two outside doors. One into the living room and one into the bedroom. Show less

We love the Grand Design Explor 265BH! It is a great floorpan for family or friends spending the night. The bathroom is the width of the RV so it is very roomy and opens up into the bedroom making it feel like a suite. The bunk beds are very comfortable and a great place to take a nap during the day or watch TV. Lots of storage in this RV. The refrigerator, microwave, and gas oven work extremely well as compared to appliances at home. The single AC cools the unit beautifully and quickly. No need for a second AC. We pull our 265BH with an F-150, V6, 3.5L, eco boost with tow package. It pulls great on highways and on hills. You won't be disappointed with this RV. It can handle weekend getaways or long vacation trips wonderfully, making everyone very comfortable. Show less
