01 What makes it unique

The Momentum G-Class 29GS is a travel-trailer toy hauler 34 ft 6 in long with an 11 ft* garage, on two axles with two slide-outs and a 30-gallon fuel station. It is on Grand Design’s Momentum G-Class roster for 2027.

Grand Design’s page lists an unloaded vehicle weight of 9,720 lb, a GVWR of 13,000 lb and a tongue weight of 1,500 lb. It publishes no cargo carrying capacity, so none is printed or computed here. Tanks are 90 gal fresh, 78 gal grey and 39 gal black, and it sleeps 6.

Grand Design’s page names the 27G and 31G as comparison floorplans.

How the 29GS differs from the other eleven Momentum travel trailers. Most distinctive first. Each rank counts only the siblings that publish that field, and a figure most of them share is left out.

  • Dry weight, 9,720 lb: heaviest of twelve; next is the 31G (9,700 lb).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 15.4%: third-smallest of twelve, between the 21G and 28MAV (14.5%) and the 30G (15.6%).
  • Length, 34 ft 6 in: fourth-longest of twelve, between the 28MAV (33 ft 11 in) and the 30G (34 ft 10 in).
  • Tongue weight, 1,500 lb: shared with the 27G; of twelve, nine lighter and one heavier, nearest the 30G (1,425 lb) and the 31G (1,572 lb).
  • Grey tank, 78 gal: largest of twelve, level with the 25G, 27G and 30G; next are the 17MAV, 21G and five others (74 gal).
  • Slide-out count, 2: most of eight, level with the 25G, 30G and 31G; next are the 21G, 27G and two others (1).
  • GVWR, 13,000 lb: highest of twelve, level with the 25G, 27G and two others; next is the 30MAV (12,000 lb).
  • Exterior height, 12 ft 4 in: tallest of twelve, level with the 21G, 25G and three others; next are the 17MAV, 22MAV and four others (12 ft 2 in).
  • Black tank, 39 gal: shared with the 21G, 25G and two others; of twelve, six smaller and one larger, nearest the 17MAV, 22MAV and four others (37 gal) and the 31G (76 gal).

Next to the 31G, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 29GS is 20 lb heavier by dry weight, has a tongue weight 72 lb lighter, is 1 ft 5 in shorter, has a grey tank 41 gal larger and has a black tank 37 gal smaller; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, fresh tank, sleeping capacity and slide-out count.

Towing it

Tow rating needed13,000 lb
Published tongue weight1,500 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb1,500–1,950 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed13,000 lb towed / 1,950 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.

Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (13,000 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,950 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.

Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

03 The Momentum floorplan family

Momentum is Grand Design's toy-hauler family, and it spans four rosters across both tow types. The full-size Momentum fifth wheel is the flagship — a 101-inch wide-body coach on MORryde independent suspension with disc brakes, carrying a 60-gallon dual fuel station. The Momentum G-Class fifth wheel sits below it on MORryde CRE3000 suspension and a Rotoflex pin box with a 30-gallon fuel station, and the G-Class travel trailer puts that same garage behind a bumper pull. The Momentum MAV is the compact end — the lightest and cheapest way into a Momentum garage, and the one roster with no fuel station at all. The 29GS on this page is highlighted; each other profiled plan links to its own page. The full MY2027 catalogue runs to 28 floorplans across the four rosters; eight are profiled in depth here and the rest are catalogued on the line hub with their weights.

The Momentum G-Class travel trailer brings the G-Class garage to a bumper-pull, for buyers who want a real toy hauler without an in-bed hitch. Laminated aluminum walls, a full-sized rear ramp door, a flat no-wheel-well garage floor and a 30-gallon fuel station are standard across the roster. Tongue weights are factory dry figures — weigh the loaded trailer and confirm against your vehicle's door-jamb placard. Additional G-Class travel-trailer floorplans are catalogued on the line hub.

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA holds 19 recall campaigns and 201 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Momentum line. They are counted separately: a recall is a confirmed defect with a remedy, a complaint one owner’s unverified account.

What to look at on a used one. Across the 201 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are structure (41%), unknown or other (19%) and suspension (10%).

Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Momentum line page.
