Brand new Grand Design 5th Wheel owners!
HI everyone!
We just made the leap to a Grand Design 5th wheel pulled by our (waited for it for a year) F450. Our previous (and 1st ever) RV was a Jayco Jayflight Baja edition bumper pull. All 25 ft of her. We have a large sales territory encompassing Western Canada so we used our RV to stay in , as opposed to paying for pricey hotel stays . We have travelled all over Western Canada (except Manitoba so far) and love this lifestyle.
We did find, however, that our former truck, a Toyota Tacoma, could just not manage well with the southern Prairie winds once we headed west for home. There were several instances in southern Alberta where our trailer was actually up on two wheels. Yikes! And our Tacoma was burning thru gas, revving high and just not functioning well with all the extra stresses on its engine. So we decided to get a bigger truck and then a 5th wheel.
Thru our travels and meeting other people in RV parks we found that a lot of folks had GRand Designs. So we asked them why and received nothing but favourable compliments on this manufacturer, the quality and how well built this brand is. So that became our goal and this past Fall we found a used one that suited our needs. We were finding it a bit cramped in our Jayco doing work on laptops on our dining table and carrying samples and keeping work clothes unwrinkled, lol. The extra space (and washer/dryer unit) will totally help with that.
Anyway, just wanted to jump on and say hi. We are based in British Columbia Canada. Just outside of Vancouver. Hi to all!
