With trailer weights starting at under 5,000 pounds, Grand Design wants to make RVing more accessible for those who don’t have a truck. The company announced the new, expanded line of 2025 Transcend travel trailers, now offering three models centered around the original Transcend Xplor for both new and experienced campers.
Queen-Size Beds, Air Conditioning, and Slide-Out Options
Although the trailers come in different sizes, the amenities in each are still full-sized, allowing travelers to take on the open road in comfort and luxury. With single-axle and lighter-weight options, Grand Design says the new designs are not only easier to tow but also makes RVing accessible for everyone.
Each trailer comes pre-installed with solar power capacities, with pre-wiring to support up to 600 watts of solar power, along with preparations for both a 30-amp solar controller and 2,000-watt inverter wired on the outlets. Owners can also outfit their trailers with built-in pet food and water bowls to accommodate their animals as they travel.
Lineup: Transcend One, Transcend Xplor, Transcend
At the entry level is the Transcend One trailer, a single-axle RV with a GVWR of under 5,000 pounds. These trailers feature a full-size queen bed, air conditioning, and a heated enclosed underbelly with pass-through storage.
The Transcend Xplor is the middle-of-the-road option, with a tandem axle and an option for one slide-out. Ranging up to 30 feet and GWVRs under 8,000 pounds, this line of trailers add on small touches that make travel a little more accessible. RVers can look forward to pull-out trash can storage, bigger drawers, and both folding and hanging storage.
At the top of the line is the Transcend trailer. These trailers come in with a GVWR between 8,000 and 10,000 pounds, and can feature up to three optional slide-outs. Beyond the regular amenities found in the smaller two trailers, standard features include an outdoor kitchen with refrigerator, laundry chute, and other small touches adding luxury to the camping experience.
Beyond the traditional cabinetry, trailers are also outfitted with a JBL sound system with both interior and exterior speakers, along with fold-up tables with additional storage.
