Anyone full time travel in a GD Travel trailer?
I was curious if anyone is using a TT for their full time traveling adventures? How are you doing with it? How is it holding up? I know 5th wheels are by far more popular, but I wanted to find out if GD's TT's were up to the task of full time.

We owned a RV park in Oregon up until about 4 years ago. We had a lot of full timers stay with us for the summer. It was about 50/50 TT and 5th wheel with a couple of motor homes thrown in. They all seemed to be happy with what they had. I think once parked there is really no advantage of one trailer over the other. The park we are in now, which is mostly full timers, seems to be probably 50% motor homes and 50% trailers. Of the 50% trailers it seem to be again about a 50/50 mix of 5th wheel and TT. Not sure if that helps any just thought I would throw it in.

We have a 303 rls fifth wheel, i would say for the most part, we part time full time, basically in it about 2 to 3 months out of the year travelling and parking both in rv parks, campgrounds and boondock. we have had great luck in doing all and have enjoyed. Basically my 3 cents is get a floor plan you like and enjoy! ! ! We are contemplating going full time period and if so, within the next few months to a year, the plan will be to upgrade from our Reflection 303 to my first choice is the Solitude 344. Good Luck & Be Safe ! ! !

I full time for my job. Much better than a motel, extended stay or even apartment. Company gives me a stipend for my TT which makes more than my payment, plus they pay my lot rent and utilities.
Had a very small 18' FQ18 and it was ok, but needed more room. Now have the 2670MK. Much better trailer in build, design and quality. Enough room without too much wasted space or unused features. I love it, but there is no place like home. But when I work over the road, I love full timing mine.
