We traded in a 371 Fuzion toyhauler on our 377 MBS Solitude. Dixie RV in Hammond, La. were willing to work with us. Drove 80 miles from our house to the dealer. Wife wanted more living area then the toyhauler had.

Definitely going to refer to this thread when we look for our next rig- lots of good info here!!! In our case, I worked with four GD dealers around the New England area. All settled on pretty much the same price so I went with the closest (about 80 miles from us). Let’s just say the process was less than stellar and I shudder to think about going back for any type of service. Luckily everything is working fine on our rig. When we’re ready to trade in, I’ll expand the radius for sure.

From prior experience, I will not deal with Camper's Inn
I checked the GD website and it appears they changed the dealer locator tool. Doesn't appear that you can enlarge the search area anymore. I had conversations with Lee's Family Trailer in Maine (another friend had a good experience there), Meyers in upstate NY (a co-worker had a good experience there) and Alpin Haus in NY. All were competitively priced (that was back in December though).2021 Solitude 310GK: Linen/DP windows/gen prep/slide toppers/king bed/EOH disc brakes/Cooper-H tires

Drove up to Lee's a month back and was able to go in and out of 4 RVs of interest - found them by putting in a Portland zip code on GD's site. Unfortunately, our sales person abandoned us for a more promising customer Seems a number of dealers don't show up on RVTrader much either. There is another dealer in Montpelier that appears to have good service reviews - just didn't have the models we wanted to look at. Other then that, went to a dealer in Raleigh, NC while visiting our daughter. Liked that dealer and their life-time warranty (which others have said they have honored) but not sure I want to pull it there for a yearly inspection. We had our minds made up but unfortunately our choice is now dealer stock only and we would like to see the specs and floor plans on the new models which aren't on the GD site yet.

Huh. Guess I really am crazy. Went to Salt Lake City from the Seattle area because the market is so ridiculous here. Just got back. We blew out of town as the snow fall started mid February, then brought it back over Donner and the Siskiyous a few days later, when Icepocolypse 2021 had waned and West Coast weather had become drivable. Had planned to visit family in Texas, but weather scuttled that, and almost made us give up altogether, especially when snow on our SUV was about 12" thick.
Local dealer, which I really think I like, started at $42k for a 2600RB, and even with pointing out I'm buying a trailer because I want to travel, so can't justify a $5k delivery fee when I can "deliver" it myself, they weren't softening much. Got another dealer down to $33k on the comparable Sunset Trail (2 sitting on the lot a while) and an offer for a comparable Grand Surveyor for $34,500, ordered. General had their RV show "sale", with their Best Price button on the web site, which yielded a $32k offer. Local dealer claimed all the fees weren't shown, did some napkin math and seemed to be implying they could easily get to $40k. I figured the extra 20% wasn't happening, so just got it done with General. Put the General guys though some pain checking brake adjustment and wheel bearings and verifying solar pre wire was good, but I think everyone got what they wanted. Had nice stops in Elko and north of Redding, shaking down our routine and learning about the furnace idiosyncracies, but quite smooth overall. I missed a slam latch on a pass through that doesn't stay latched, even when locked, and that the hide a bed likely needs the spacers removed to get it level across the slide out, but everything else worked fine.
Service up here is so backed up, I figure good will isn't helping much anyhow. And I can do most of the stuff myself, since GD seem pretty helpful.Last edited by dbphillips; 02-27-2021 at 10:24 AM.

We live in Salt Lake City, Utah. We were getting way funky numbers form our local dealer. Prep fees, delivery fees ...... I sold my old 5th wheel and delivered it guy in Dallas and then picked up our new 2020 GD Refection 315 in Tyler Texas. I drove over 2600 miles round trip and saved thousands and thousands of dollars. It was well worth the trip. But, I need to say I am happy with the warranty service I have received with our local dealer.
