Grand Design RV Announces Expanded 2025 Transcend Line – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
MIDDLEBURY, Ind. – Grand Design RV unveils its expanded Transcend product line, featuring three distinct segments: Transcend One, Transcend Xplor, and Transcend. Designed to meet the evolving needs of RV consumers, each 2025 model delivers unparalleled quality, affordability, and versatility, ensuring a memorable experience for all travelers, according to a release from the Winnebago Industries subsidiary.
The new Transcend Xplor line offers innovative solutions tailored to various consumer preferences and budgets. “Due to what we are seeing in the marketplace, and with inflation hitting all Americans, I think what is more important than ever is offering quality-built, affordable products that a multitude of families can afford,” said Matt Eppers, Transcend product manager.
With GVWRs ranging from under 5,000 pounds to 10,000 pounds, these travel trailers provide options for those who may not own a truck to haul their RVs.
Transcend One – These single-axle RVs boast a GVWR under 5,000 pounds, making them easily towable. Features include a true 60 x 80 queen-sized bed, 13,500 BTU Furrion air conditioner, and heated, enclosed underbelly with pass-through storage. “We understand that when you are camping, you bring a lot of equipment, so we want to maximize exterior and interior storage,” Eppers emphasized.
Transcend Xplor – An evolution of the original Xplor travel trailer, this segment offers tandem-axle floorplans with one or no slide-outs, measuring up to 30 feet in length and featuring GVWRs under 8,000 pounds. All floorplans feature kitchens that include pull-out trash can storage and an oversized pots and pans drawer, while the bedroom features folding and hanging storage.
Transcend – The premium segment, with GVWRs between 8,000 and 10,000 pounds, includes single, double, and triple slide-out options. Standard features encompass an exterior kitchen with a cast iron griddle and refrigerator, a bedroom laundry chute, and various amenities designed to enhance the camping experience. “What excites me is getting a customer into the Grand Design family of products at an earlier purchase point than I think we have ever seen historically,” Eppers stated.
Each Transcend model integrates solar power capabilities with standard wiring for 600 watts of solar panels, a 30amp solar controller prep, and a 2,000-watt inverter prep wired to every outlet in the RV. “So, if our customers do want to get off the grid and not camp at a site with hookups, they
have the opportunity to do so at a level where they can actually run most appliances in their unit,” Eppers explained.
Additional features across all segments cater to pet owners, including built-in pet food and water bowls, and exterior leash links that double as bottle openers. Music enthusiasts will appreciate the JBL sound system with interior and exterior speakers. Each RV also comes equipped with paper towel holders, magnetic door catches, and standard 60 x 80 queen-sized beds. A Grand Design-branded fold-up table with dedicated storage is included to meet the demands of consumers.
Eppers is not only focused on providing exceptional budget conscious travel trailers, but also on fostering long-term relationships with Grand Design owners. His goal is to welcome new customers into the Grand Design family through the Transcend line and support their journey as they upgrade through the company’s product offerings.
“We believe that by introducing consumers to the Transcend models, and providing them an exceptional experience, we can continue to build a loyal customer base that will eventually explore our higher-end products as their needs and preferences evolve,” said Eppers. “Our aim is to create a seamless and satisfying experience for our customers at every stage of their RV journey.”
