October, 2025: At around 1800 miles on the trailer we inspected one axle set (RR)of wheel bearings and brake backing plate/shoe assemblies. This was prior to a 1400 mile trip with the trailer. The trailing shoe was found to be cracked and had material coming off in chunks. Upon contacting and reporting this to the manufacturer they sent a replacement backing plate assembly, drum and wheel bearings. The planned trip was made with the old parts. The braking on the trailer wasn't the best but they did not fail. Skip ahead to 02-22-2026 and we took the brakes apart on the one we'd reported and noticed immediately that the friction material that had begun to come apart had done so even more. We then sent another message to manufacturer regarding this, them took the remaining 5 wheels and brake drums off the trailer. Several had either cracked or missing friction material. One assemble, LF, had been greased excessively and had grease in the brake actuation coil, shoes and drum. I again sent a message with pictures to the manufacturer. They got back to me pretty quickly and parts to replace all of the brake assemblies are being shipped. Our worry is that many more units have this same faulty brake friction material.

Is 11 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2024 and 2026, roughly 5 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2024 has 11 complaints on file, fewer than the 2023 (24). Of the 8 model years of the Grand Design Momentum we cover, the 2021 has the most (56). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
