The DW made me do it!
While just driving near home a couple weeks ago the DW saw a very nice looking Grand Design Reflection with a for sale sign......and the rest is history!
In keeping with my reluctance to buy new this used 337 model had a new EPDM roof installed under warranty about three months prior so that was kinda the deciding factor for me. So we have now sold our beloved Laredo with absolutely nothing wrong with it, and everything worked!
Hope it’s still ok to hang out here! I have picked up so much knowledge from you guys!

Hanging out here is fine; we all learn from each other and RVs are basically the same. Anyway, until DW wanted a full size washer and dryer that 337 was in the running and I thought it was a nice trailer. Congrats and good luck!

Your welcome to stay. I worked on GD stuff for over 6 years before changing dealerships last year in October. I will say they are nice units and they have the same components as your Laredo. Stay here and keep contributing please.

Be prepared!  We had both said all our RV lives that a washer/dryer was off limits and unneeded. Looking at 5vrs, she had some problems trying to do laundry at the park laundromat and a little irritated, picked out a 337 and then she throws out "I want a washer and dryer"!! What??!! In front of the salesman, in the trailer. What a revelation at such a moment. OK, I say, we'll need a washer and dryer. He says they make some nice combos, BUT, you need to learn how to use them and I (he) usually take my clothes out on the dry cycle, shake them out and let them "air" dry because the dryer won't get them dry and it takes forever. Hmmm. I'm thinking I don't like the idea of "clothes lines" hanging from corner to corner in the RV (he laughed and remembered that line). Just put a regular RV washer and dryer in it I says. Well, you really can't do that because it's not built for it - you need a full profile RV - Solitude...Hmmm - THANKS DW!!!
A little animated story to sort of make you aware of what the "yet" might entail. Thankfully DW made her long lost, hidden desire for a W/D clear to me BEFORE I pulled the pin on one that wouldn't take care of her "needs".
