RE: Opinions on Grand Design Fifth Wheels

As a 6 year owner of one and a frequent RV show attendee, my opinion is that GD charges a premium price for a rig not built or outfitted with any better appliances/components then Keystone, Jayco, or any of the rest in the $40-$60 thousand price range. Two things happened to GD that to me that diminished the quality; they got too big too fast and they got bought out by Winnebago. The GD faithful will vehemently dispute that but around 2017 when sales really took off and the original 3 owners of GD sold out(one stayed on) the complaints about quality really started to increase.
If I were looking again, I'd base my criteria first on floor plan/livability and then on price comparison. If a Jayco or Cougar has a similar floor plan and was cheaper, that's where I'd go.

RE: Blue DEF

Blue is fine for pulling a 5th wheel.
??? And what pray tell do we use when not towing?
DEF is DEF. The only difference is what you pay for it.

RE: Henry Tropi-Cool VS EPDM Roof Coatings

These costings are just a temporary bandaid that needs to be replaced again and again. Fine if you are getting rid of the rig in 2-3 years. Bite the bullet and get the RV Armour roof. One and done. Throw out the caulk gun, dicor, paint pans and rollers. Another benefit, it keeps us old guys off the roof and out of intensive care.

RE: Thanks to Colorado Springs Dodge!

A great lesson for those that are just too busy to get recalls taken care of. The OP lucked out big time.

RE: Gen-Y 5th wheel goose neck pin box

... Also Lippert is making their own version of the goosebox which will be out soon
Knowing LCI penchant for quality (sarcasm on blast), I bet that'll be a quality hitch. Probably fold up like a walmart tent in a sandstorm.

RE: 5th wheel adapter for goose neck

Lippert has approved the Reese Goose Box for use with their Frames.
And the reason for that is because LCI and Reese are in financial bed together.

RE: Stay on your own side....

Let's see what happens this fall if the border is still closed and the great snowbird migration is deemed illegal. Tens of thousands having to endure a long, cold winter in their homeland. Priceless.

Ummm, yeah.
If you'd read any of his other posts you'd know that he's restoring a Lance camper. ;)
Thanks for the tip though. :)
He probably has it in his will that he will be buried with that hitch. As heavy as it is, at least the coyotes won't be able to dig him up.

RE: CDC and the government may be loosening the lockdown

Yes. All it takes is a few dummies to start the rise of the curb again. It sounds like there are a lot of people here that are will to put my life at risk so they can have a little fun. Stay put and this will end sooner. It really is that simple.
IF you want to save your own skin then you need to stay isolated. You will not be at risk if you don't leave your house and have no interaction with others. Don't expect others to keep you safe.
