I am Jeff, and my wife Kathy and I just bought a 2021 Solitude 380FL. I am retired military, both Navy and Air Guard, still working but ready to slow down and enjoy life camping.

Started camping in tents 30 years ago, after Kathy’s cancer and numerous dogs over the past 10, we got back into camping 3 years ago. Looking forward to seeing what the Grand Design family is all about.

Welcome to the forum Jeff, hope you and Kathy have a great time in your Solitude. As I'm sure you'll find, we can all use a little help at times dealing with what can come up with our coaches. Let us know how we can be of assistance.

Welcome Jeff,
My wife and I are "not newbies" also just new to 5th wheels. We also have a 2021 GD Solitude 380FL and F250 diesel. How do you like the RV and any troubles with the model?

We absolutely love it! We did have an issue with an electronic mouse repellent that melted and started a small fire! No significant damage, but I was quite a bit upset that the breaker the outlet was on didn’t trip! We will be getting it repaired at dealer when we do annual maintenance and winterization. I replaced outlet and dealer said those panels are replaceable (between stove and refrigerator). We could not be happier with the overall quality and floor plan of our GD though!

I pull with an F-350 Power Stroke, waiting for retirement, as this is the setup we have been planning for!

We have never had any mouse issues, but we live near farmland and mouse devices were a carry over from old camper (new devices over this past winter), and we haven’t seen how tight everything is yet. Previous owner said they never had any mouse issues and lived on an acreage as well. So fingers crossed!
