We are going to spend the first night in the GJ as we just picked it up yesterday. We are close to home as is the usual for a first night out in a new outfit. So far everything works well. It is a 35 TMS w/ satellite, dual AC's, generator prep, fireplace, cherry wood, granite counter top, and a sleep number bed. I have owned a Montana, Designer and now this. This one has more "fluff" than the other ones we had. Let's hope it stands up as well. I did take the "G" wheels and tires from my last trailer and had dealer put them on here. I pulled it in a 25 mph wind today and truck really didn't see any difference from last camper. Hope everything continues to go well with it as long as we own it.

We have a 35TMS purchased April 2006 and have pulled approximately 27,000 miles through the Dakotas, Canada, south to Florida, Montanna and over Memphis to Lousiana from North Carolina. Other than minor issues fixed by me or the dealer we had one major issue which was fixed by the factory. Outstanding support from factory, dealer (Allsport, Fayetteville, NC) and suppliers. The Moryde suspension and pinbox are fantastic. We have had the standard MorRyde suspension switched to the Independent suspension at the MORryde factory in Elkhart. Mary and I are extremely pleased with the Grand Junction. We would buy the same unit and floor plan again in a heart beat

We have a 2008 34TRG and love it! We really like the Mor-Ryde suspension. It rides smooth. No chucking motion like others complain about. We've also accidently left items on the counter and when we arrive at our destination, they are still sitting on the counter. We've been pleased with the quality and so far have had only minor issues that the dealer has handled with no problem.

We made it back from our little one night shake down cruise. I did have 2 minor things to get worked on. The drain valve on the FW tank drips about every 2 seconds. It is an 1.5" drain valve and wow, that thing dumps the tank fast. Also, on the grey water tank, the valve seems sluggish and didnt close tightly. Neither one earth shattering and easily repaired. Glad the black tank valve works good. We LOVED the sleep number bed. At 5 AM, a big thunderstorm moved through and dumped a bunch of rain in a hurry. I was chilled and turned on the fireplace for a bit and was nice. Anyway, long story short, A ok so far. The double fridge beeped (dr) twice and we had to re-latch it. As far as I can see, the quality and workmanship is comparable to the last 2 trailers I had. I like the skylight in the bedroom. That really brightens the upstairs.

If you own a Grand Junction with Mor/Ryde suspension, I suggest you have your tires checked. It appears that the suspension is making "unintended contact" with the tire rubber resulting in what appears to be tread seperation from the tire. Mor/Ryde has issued a service alert regarding this issue. They, Mor/Ryde or Grand Junction et al, has not issued a recall on this problem. I recently had both the axels and the suspension replaced at the Goshen factory.
The problem manifests itself after about 5000 miles on the tires. I have met at least two other Grand Junction owners that have had the same problem.
