Owning a Grand Design RV is an investment in quality, comfort, and adventure—but even the best-built RVs require proper maintenance, timely repairs, and informed ownership. One of the most valuable resources available to Grand Design owners today is the Facebook group:
Grand Design RV Owners – Maintenance & Repair: In the RV Shop with Dustin
With 44,200+ members and growing, this community has become a trusted destination for real-world RV knowledge, shared experience, and practical solutions.
What Is In the RV Shop with Dustin?
In the RV Shop with Dustin is a Facebook group dedicated to helping Grand Design RV owners better understand their RVs through:
- Real-world maintenance tips
- Repair insights from an active RV service facility
- Product upgrades and installation examples
- Troubleshooting advice based on actual failures and fixes
This is not theory or marketing—it’s hands-on experience shared directly from the shop floor.
Learn From Real Repairs, Not Guesswork
Members of the group regularly see:
- Behind-the-scenes photos from the repair shop
- Step-by-step repair examples
- Close-up images of failed components and correct installations
- Tools, parts, accessories, and products that are actually used and recommended
The group also features links to helpful RV Travel articles, curated Amazon gear suggestions, and educational content focused on long-term RV reliability—not shortcuts.
📌 Important Reminder: Always refer to your owner’s manual and consult your RV manufacturer for model-specific guidance.
A Massive Library of Photos and Videos
One of the most valuable aspects of the group is its depth of content:
- Hundreds of photo albums documenting real RV repairs, upgrades, and failures
- Hundreds of educational videos available on the In the RV Shop with Dustin YouTube channel
- Visual explanations that help owners understand what’s happening behind panels, under floors, and inside walls
For many owners, these visuals provide clarity that manuals and forums simply can’t.
Help Comes From More Than Just One Expert
While Dustin actively participates when time allows, the strength of the group comes from its members. Thousands of Grand Design owners contribute:
- First-hand experiences
- Lessons learned from repairs and upgrades
- Photos of their own modifications
- Advice that helps others avoid costly mistakes
This shared knowledge creates a powerful, growing database of Grand Design–specific information.
