Hello everyone. Long time lurker, first post. I sure enjoy the pleasant tone of the group here. You all remind us of the friendly group at the Keystone forum.

We are long-time pretty experienced RVers and are coming (most recently) from a great Cougar X-Lite that we owned for 6+ trouble-free years. We did the double tow deal for a long time. Bittersweet, but it went to a new family yesterday. For a lot of reasons, now was the time to make the jump.

When Grand Design became a thing, we watched from a distance. We love the company's stated philosophy and way of doing business and always had them on our short list for the next camper. So now in these crazy times, we got amazing value from our Cougar and tumbled in to a solid deal on a beautiful 2018 349-M. I'm a bit of a gearhead and such and this thing is modded out pretty much exactly how I'd do it, so it was a pretty easy decision. I will bring it home here in a few days. We are blessed to be able to do this... and stoked and excited to be part of this family.

We're eager to get out in the new tenement on wheels as soon as we can. We camp and ride all over Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and the Dakotas. We'll be stretching our legs soon, so making the change to a toy hauler will let us go on some longer trips safely and more easily.

Thanks for all the advice and info already out there and I am looking forward to contributing as I can. Until then, be safe and blessed.

Yes, Lawdog - welcome ! The family friendly nature of this forum is what initially attracted many of us long term members to the forum. And as you shared new members and all those who have joined over the years have shared the same thing.

We are blessed to have many helpful and talented folks more than willing to help out. This makes it rewarding as well as fun.

Looking forward to your future posts.

Welcome from another recent (~1 year) 349M owner! I'm kind of the same with my Momentum in that I couldn't leave it "as is" either.

I'll be very interested in what mods it has and what you plan to do with it. When you say "camp & ride" .. what do you ride? I've done a fair bit of boondocking both with my previous toy hauler and with my Momentum in WY, Central & Eastern MT, CO, NM, UT, AZ. And, of course, the main purpose was riding. :rolleyes:

Again, welcome!
 
Hey, thanks!

We currently have a 2020 Kawasaki Teryx 4... It's a stout little machine that goes about anywhere. Stuffs easily into the 13' garage. We ride all over Montana and Wyoming, sometimes in Idaho.

As far as the mods go, our 349 already has solar and upgraded batteries, new good tires, accumulator tank/pump on the water lines, and the one thing that really caught my eye --> E-Track installed on the floor of the garage! I'm a big fan and run it on my UTV trailer. Super quick to secure the SXS, no fuss. Turned out the seller and I have several mutual friends and I learned he takes as good of care of his stuff as I do.

Not sure yet what I will do next... I plan to grab it here in a few days.
