    I've been concerned about the CCC of the newer Solitudes for quite some time. I can handle more CCC in my 2015 Reflection than most of these Solitudes. It's a shame to have all of the storage options, but it's impossible to use them.

    know very little about Solitudes. Is there anything else out there with space you can use? For giggles we toured a Luxe triple axle 5er that had some very respectable CCC limits. How much more is it than a Solitude?

    Luxe is roughly double the price.

    Thanks, good to know. It would appear that you get what you pay for to a certain extent. Purchasing a 40 foot plus 5er and expecting it to carry thousands of pounds over its limit just because it has space, is simply not realistic in my opinion from the perspective of either the manufacturer or the consumer. what did GDRV expect owners to store, styrofoam blocks, or maybe inflatable flamingoes? I wonder if standards like CCC being 20-25% of GVWR should be in place? I was very fortunate with the senior sales rep I had three years ago. He actually showed me the math to indicate if I had even 1/2 of the capacity of fresh water on board, the unit was very close to GVWR with “typical” personal belongings. If we travelled with a full fresh water supply, our CCC is only about 60% of the declared CCC. (For my unit, CCC is about 16% of GVWR)

This was with all bedding, pots and pans, and glass plates and cups etc. This was also with two 40 pound LP bottles full and two batteries. I also have the pull out outside kitchen. That's 16610 pounds against a 16800 GVWR so I'm close as well. You must have some heavy stuff!
    Sure didn't/don't think so. Once the washer/dryer were added our CCC dropped to 1902 pounds .... that isn't much at all. Hard to visualize what that kind of weight is ... but at this point we would need to empty the underbelly and either the kitchen or bedroom :0 !!! Just crazy.

    We love Luxe however the price of $175-$200k is significantly more than we'd care to spend. Our one ton could pull is as they are about 24,000 GVWR but doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room!! They make them right though!!!!❤️

    We took delivery of a 2022 Solitude 390RK in Oct 2021. We ordered the 7k axles with disk brakes. This setup came with Cooper 17.5" h rated tires. GD figured that the West lakes can't handle the weight. On my 2016 Refection, I ditched the West lakes and went to Goodyear Endurance tires. US made for me. Also recommend a tire monitoring system. Great peace of mind.
