Standing Up For RV Owners' Rights
Current Grand Design RV owners (not purchasing) can also go to the private Facebook site below for Major Issues. This is not a DIY or lifestyle site.

We're dedicated to protecting your interests and ensuring fair treatment from manufacturers. Join our community of RV owners fighting for better warranty coverage and consumer protection.
Welcome to Our RV Advocacy Website
We’re excited to welcome you to our new RV Advocacy website—created for the RV community, not the RV industry. We’re Pete and Lisa, also known as @WestsOnTheMove. We began our full-time RV journey in 2022, knowing almost nothing, and we’ve learned a lot since then.
While we’ve found the RV community to be incredibly warm and supportive, our experiences with dealerships and manufacturers have often left us frustrated, discouraged, and even angry. And we know we’re not alone.
Sound familiar?
Have you ever known more about the RV you were shopping for than the salesperson?
Have you had to fight tooth and nail just to get your RV repaired through a dealership or directly from the RV assembly / manufacturing company?
Have you felt like your RV manufacturer was gaslighting you?
Have you ever had your RV manufacturer not honor your repair warranty?
The list goes on! If so, you’re in the right place.
This website is here to offer:
Encouragement for those feeling overwhelmed or disheartened
Education about the realities of the RV industry
Resources to help you thrive in your RV lifestyle
Advocacy to push for better standards and accountability
Strength to stand up for yourselves against the RV industry
We believe that only by coming together can we create meaningful, lasting change.

Be part of a growing community that’s informed, empowered, and ready to make a difference.

BREAKING NEWS: Grand Design RV Makes Stunning Reversal (April 6, 2025)
Special Announcement: Special Project in the Works (5/6/2025)
I am excited to announce that significant changes are on the horizon! I am currently in the process of collaborating with key stakeholders to implement necessary protections and finalize important details before this project takes off. All of our efforts to address the challenges within the RV industry are beginning to gain some traction, and I/we believe this initiative will bring about the much-needed change in the RV industry.
We are hopeful that these changes will improve the RV lifestyle for everyone in the process and that also includes consumer protections and legislative federal safety regulations. However, we cannot do this alone. We need the support of the entire RV community to make these changes a reality.
Call to Action
We understand that many of you desire a positive and enjoyable RV experience, free from the frustrations that have plagued so many of you. While it may be tempting to wait for things to improve on their own, we urge you to take an active role in this movement. Together, we can create the "rainbows and unicorns" that we all dream of with this lifestyle but it will not happen on its own without taking for action to change the corruption and negligence of the RV industry.
Our journey began with some hope, only to face setbacks and disappointments from the RV industry. Personally, I have reached my limit, and I know many of you feel the same. Now is the time to stand up and make a difference and even though I will continue to fight for all of us, I/we cannot successfully do this without your help.
Your Role
As we move forward, we ask you to consider how you can contribute to this cause. This may also include knowing influential people that you may know, who can help this cause. Give it some serious thought about what your skill sets are and how you can contribute. Whether you choose to be someone who wants to be a part of something big or not, your involvement is crucial. We understand that everyone has their own lives and commitments, but even small actions can make a big impact.
Let's work together to bring about the change we all know is necessary for us and others that join the RV lifestyle. Your support and participation are vital in the success of this movement!
Thank you for your support and dedication to help make the necessary changes to continue this RV lifestyle that has brung much joy and friendships to each and every one of us. We look forward to making a positive difference together.
As more information is available, I will share this on both sites (Facebook and website).
We are not going away! #StrengthInNumbers
