Check out
This is actually a member check out. We are trading our 2008 Challenger 5er for a Grand Design Solitude 375RES. The Challenger is starting to be a money pit. Thanks to all here for your input and often wise counsel.

I understand, good luck with your Solitude, they are nice units. Feel free to stick around, we don't discriminate against members that buy something else.

No need to go. Who knows, you may be back. It's happened before.

A friend of mine had one and I feel in love with it. He had 2017 Ford F-350 SRW and trip to scales and he as 1290 pounds over his GVWR and 180 over his axle ratings. He ended up with DRW F350 to handle the pin weight. That is a sweet 5er!!!!

No need to check out! I've been looking at the GD units as well, just like ours too much at the moment. If/when we move to a different brand I intend to stick around here for the info and comraderie - it's a great site with great folks, so, no need to check out as I said; just add us to your resources along with the GD folks!

Richard, we also shopped the Solitude line, mainly looking at the 360 model. Very nice units indeed! Stick around, fella, most of these units are just the same parts assembled in a different configuration.
