Expert Answers about Grand Design Transcend Xplor Travel Trailer


  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for Grand Design Transcend Xplor 245RL
  • The weight distribution system I recommend for a Grand Design Transcend Xplor 245RL is the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17500 which has integrated sway control and an included pre-torqued hitch ball. The Transcend Xplor 245RL has a GVWR of around 8,000 lbs which will be right in the middle of this system. Sway control isn't required but it's a huge added benefit in regards to performance. In regards to towing capability, if the max capacity of the vehicle exceeds the...

  • TorkLift Glowstep Revolution Size Selection
  • Since you have the 27" wide entryway, the only additional thing we need to know is the "Entry Height." The attached photo will show you how to measure from the top mounting point to the ground. From there use the attached chart. For instance if your entry height was 38" high, then you would use # TLA8004. Watch this though: If your entry height was 36" then you could use # TLA8004 or # TLA8003. The steps for taller entryways will extend out further. The steps for shorter entryways...

  • Longer Ball Mount Solution to Help Tailgate to Trailer Jack Clearance

  • Can Mount N Lock SafetStruts Install on 2023 Grand Design Transcend 247BH
  • That's a really good question but the best way to know if the bumper of your 2023 Grand Design Transcend 247BH would require reinforcing would be to check with Grand Design to determine if the bumper has a weight capacity for towing or if it's even rated for towing or not. If it's rated for towing it would be fine but if not you'd want to run the install of the Mount N Lock SafetyStruts # MO22FR by them and see what they think.

  • What is Amperage Output of Furrion Solar Panel Kit # FR73SR
  • The Furrion Solar Panel # FR73SR that you referenced is capable of putting out 8.82 amps, so yes you could use two of these 165 watt panels with a 25 amp controller and you'd not be exceeding the controller's output.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for Grand Design Transcend Xplor 200MK
  • The Grand Design Transcend Xplor 200MK has a GVWR of just under 7,000 lbs with a hitch weight of 480 lbs dry. The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part # BXW0756 is what I recommend for this trailer as it has what we have found in our testing to be the best sway control and it features a simple bolt-on install. The factory electric sway control you have does help but the friction sway control of the above is far more effective.

  • Picking Out Replacement Brake Assemblies and Leaf Springs for 2021 Grand Design 297QB
  • I don't have a way to know what axle capacity your trailer has so I am not able to determine that for you but I can help you figure out what you would need. Check the axles on your trailer and you should see a label that has the capacity listed. With that we can determine the correct brake assemblies like the part # AKEBRK-35-SA which fit the very common 3,500 lb axles. For leaf springs we would also need the length of your current springs. For example the part # e54SR fits 3,500 lb axles...

  • Will Furrion Vison S RV Observation Camera System Work On 2021 Grand Design Transcend Xplor 297QB?
  • The Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Observation Camera System w/ Side Marker Light Cameras - 5" Screen # FCE48TASL-05 you were looking at will work with your 2021 Grand Design Transcend Xplor 297QB since it is prewired for the Furrion cameras and is a great choice as it not only gives you a backup camera, but also two side view cameras. The monitor of the # FCE48TASL-05 can be used with up to 4 cameras, so you could add the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera # FCN48TASF over the entry...

  • Weight Distribution and Sway Hitch for 2021 Grand Design Transcend 247BH Travel Trailer
  • Your weight estimate will be close but probably a bit higher than the 700lb. Of course this is completely dependent on how you load your camper but the largest storage area is the front as well as the bedroom closets and under-bed storage. The Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System # RP66084 is rated to work from 600lbs-1,200lbs of tongue weight. So it does fit in line with your 2021 Grand Design Transcend 247BH. I would recommend going with this hitch coming from an RV background...

  • Can The Head Of The Electric Jack w/ Footplate EJ-3520-BBX Be Turned To The Side?
  • The Electric Jack w/ Footplate # EJ-3520-BBX you were looking at has 3 mounting holes, and either of them can be faced forward allowing you to have the jack head to point forward, or towards either side giving you the additional clearance you are wanting. This jack has a 3500lb rating which will be perfect for your new 2021 Grand Design Transcend Explore 23' Trailer, and will have a very easy time raising and lowering the trailer. Since it is rated for quite a bit more than your tongue...
