solitude

Just trying to figure out what is an average discount we can expect off of the MSRP from an RV dealership carrying the Grand Design product line. We are going to purchase the 390RK, ideally from Bretz RV in Boise, but they are being difficult and giving us an extremely conflicting business...

Have a 2020 Grand Design 2670MK travel trailer. The forward outside speaker housing melted! Part of the black trim decals behind it also bubbled and deformed. The speaker has a blue light ring when the outside light circuit is energized but at 12V I wouldn't think it generates enough heat to do...

We're on our first extended-stay trip through Gulf State Park and Top Sail Hill Preserve with our 2021 310GK-R. During the trip south from Missouri, our water heater door decided to part ways with us somewhere on the interstate. Then we found out, you can't just buy a replacement door. You have...

We are looking at essentially two of the same floor plan grand design 5th wheels, one is the reflection model, one is the solitude model. Can anyone shed some light on what is making the 20-30k dollar difference? We will be full timing across the country, and may end up in some colder weather...

Grand Design Solitude vs Jayco North Point. asking for a friend that is in the market for a 35'-37' 1st 5er... What can you tell me about these 2 5ers?

2021 Grand Design Solitude 310GK (2020-10-17 05:19:59)

We purchased our first 5th Wheel a few weeks ago. Before this we have always owned a motorhome, Class A or Class C. We decided to try out a 5th wheel this time because of the lemon we got when we purchased our Thor 2.5 years ago. That is a whole different story. I was surprised to see there were...

TLDR: Clogged water filter! My wife and I agreed that we tested this issue without the filter inline without improvement! However, after tracing the input line to the filter it was, indeed, the culprit. NOTE to self: Keep it simple... Thank you all for the suggestions! Onward...

Have a new 2670MK. Simple question. Does the tow vehicle (F-250 Super Duty with all the towing bells and whistles) alternator charge the TT battery while you are running down the road? Grand Design book really waffles on this question.

Hey everyone, My name is Grant and I live in small-town Saskatchewan. Looking at buying a Solitude S-Class 3740BH for our family as a permanent lake retreat, so it won't be moving. I've done some research and this model fits us perfectly. If anyone has any input as to pro's and con's vs anything...

We just began our full time adventure in our 2020 GD Solitude 390 RK-R. GVWR 16800 (14576 UVW )After driving 2 hours had a blowout! Before first drive we weighed at CAT scale reading said 14620 on rig axel when weighed attached to truck. When weighed without being attached was over 18000...

My neighbor has his eyes on the 2020 310GK. He loves my 2020 Reflection 320MKS. His question is: If he gets the "residential refrigerator" does it have a 12V or Propane mode? Or does it only run on 120V or invertor? If invertor, does the 310GK have a built in invertor? Hi handle will be...

Hi: Us: We were long-time tent campers who have "aged" out of sleeping on the ground. After retiring we have become better birders and found a passion for volunteering at NWRs and other natural places. We bought the rig after trying out several sizes and styles of RVs while traveling and...

I am in the hunt for a new Solitude and have discovered the 2020 models offer several new options and improvements: 1. The slide out for the dinette is no longer carpeted. Just like Open Range, it is the same linoleum that is in the kitchen. It seems to have a snug fit. 2. Optional 3rd A/C 3...

Pretty excited to go pick up our new Solitude S-Class. Installing the B&W Patriot 18k slider in my 2016 2500HD Duramax SRW short bed. Wondering what everyone’s thoughts or experiences are towing this unit with a comprible rig? We won’t be going far or often. Two or three hundred miles each way...

My husband and I sold everything and bought a "new to us" Solitude. So far, we love it. It's early days yet...only 3 weeks in but even with the issues we've had I wouldn't go back! We plan to stay 3-6 weeks in each new area so we can take time to really play tourist. It's a big country and...

This is our first Grand Design and loving it so far. But, with only one major road trip towing the unit, the fridge will not stay running on propane when the slides are in. As soon as the middle kitchen/dining slides are slightly extended the stove burners and fridge both work. I had someone...

Glad to have found this blog/forum. My wife and I purchased new a 2016 Solitude 375 (believe RE) almost 3-years ago. It's the long 5th wheel with the glass sliding patio door and 5 slides. We just love it! Towed it the first three years with a 2015 F350 DRW 6.7 Powerstroke but have since...

Hello all - New to the forum and we've decided on a Grand Design and now we are working on which model. We love the Solitude (who doesn't??) but not sure about pin weight. I have an available payload of about 3200 lbs and we have about 1500 lbs of gear to put in the RV. The payload is my...

Well hello all.. Ryan and Charlie here. We are soon to be new members of the Full time crew. bit the bullet, selling the farm and everything in it, and heading out on the road. Been doing an extensive search and destroy on this forum trying to decide if and when to become paid member. THIS is a...

We will be heading to Alaska this year with our new Solitude 375RES. We plan on leaving home, Alabama, the first part of June and reaching Alaska early August and departing Alaska mid to late September. Looking for "you got to see this", "you should avoid this" and any other comments or...

Just wanted to say hi and thanks to all who have posted to this forum previously. We're new to 5th wheels and relatively new to RV'ing in general, and the information everyone has taken the time to offer on this site has been a HUGE help, so thanks to all! We have 2 girls in college and 1...

Hi all. We're looking for a 35' fiver with an empty pin weight of about 2,500 lbs and GWVR of roughly 15,000 lbs. This is going to be a full-time traveling trailer and it looks like the Grand Designs Solitude 310GKR and Keystone Montana 3121RL are head-to-head competitors. Their listed...

From RVTravel.com; not on the GDRV website yet: Grand Design RV is recalling certain 2018-2019 Grand Design Solitude fifth-wheel trailers. The liquid propane (LP) gas line on the optional pull-out outside kitchen may contact the underside of the hot grill. Contact with the hot grill may result...
