Grand Design RV is moving forward with plans to enter motorized manufacturing, beginning with a Type C motorhome.
The Middlebury, Indiana-based manufacturer announced its plan to enter the motorized category in October 2023. Today, Grand Design said its Type C Lineage motorhome is expected to launch in July.
Don Clark, Grand Design president and CEO, said, “The Lineage name recognizes that the brand is an extension of our strong Grand Design foundation while simultaneously representing what is passed forward over time. It recognizes our relentless commitment to being both dealer-centric and customer-focused. We are looking forward to bringing the quality, innovation and service we are known for in the towable market over to a brand-new product and segment. Lineage Class C will be our first foray into motorized, but there will be much more to follow.”
Tommy Hall, who previously was the Solitude fifth wheel product manager, is the general manager of the new motorized division. Mike Hums and Stephan Dolzan have been named product managers for the Lineage brand.
“Increasingly, our customers and dealers have come to us asking about our potential entry into the motorized segment,” Hall said, “so it is with great excitement that we can share the news of the first product in the Lineage brand. Until now, we have not reached an audience that prefers motorized recreational vehicles.”
Grand Design said the company will share additional information in the coming months. The manufacturer said it will bring the superior quality, best-in-class service and sense of community Grand Design consumers are used to in its motorized line.
All motorized division RVs will carry the Lineage name with series descriptors.
