New Momentum toy hauler. 350m class

[Traveling Piper]

Still trying to complete an order for the all new model of Momentum 350m class toy hauler. Hopefully will figure out all options and choices and will get the order into Grand Design this week. Its already taken a week. It's with the dealer now- hope he doesn't sit on the order. I can't wait for our new trailer to get here and to be able to share all about it. We were told 3-6 weeks by dealer. It would be an amazing Christmas gift. SO EXCITED. !!!!

 

[Kamper]

Congratulations! on your new Toy. Hope it does get here for Christmas. Wishing you many years of happy camping.

 

[Traveling Piper]

Thanks Kamper. We've had several trailers in the last 30 years, seems funny in our "senior" years to be buying a trailer associated with young people who have fast toys. Lol. We have kayaks and bicycles. Looking forward to seeing lots of amazing scenery in our retirement years.

Congrats on your new toy hauler! We are in our younger years still ( I think anyway-44 yrs) and we have kayaks and bicycles. Better to see and enjoy nature that way. We have a Reflection and Love it, but I had an afterthought that it would have been easier for loading kayaks and bikes in a garage area. As it is now I have 2 bikes on a rack on the back bumper (that I keep praying will not tear off), 2 bikes in bed of truck, and 4 kayaks on rack over cab of truck. Not much fun to load all that. Lol. Always thought of toy haulers for powered toys until that afterthought. Oh well, we still love our Reflection, and all too soon it will only be 2 bikes and kayaks as our son is 16 now. Enjoy your toys and get out and have some fun!!

 

[Traveling Piper]

You are right 44 is young! Glad you are building memories with them while they are around. I'm thinking you look like us before toy hauler. We called our rig "The traveling circus" with our toys attached wherever they would fit. Lol.......

That's why we started lookin at toy haulers as well. I got back into camping after 15 years away from it. When I purchased the TT we thought it was perfect (it was) until we went to our first campground. Everyone around here has golf carts that they drive around on while camping. So we decided to get one as we kept borrowing our friends golf cart. Well to get the golf cart to the campgrounds, I would triple tow. Boy did I have my very own personal train with a total length of 71'. That's a lot to keep up with while traveling, but it also hindered us from going to other states as most don't allow triple tow. That's why when we looked at a new camper and saw the original Monentum E class, we knew that's what we wanted. Only problem was it was a bit heavy for the long haul. That's when I heard they were building lighter units. When we finally got to see a M-Class in person, we signed on the dotted line that day because we felt it was everything (and then some) that we wanted. I love being able to tow now without worrying about the small trailer I couldn't see behind me. Also we are much shorter in length at about 50'.

We are also thinking about purchasing a golf cart or 4 wheeler, but am not sure what fits in the 350m class. How does yours fit.

 

[GD350M]

It fits better then I expected. Love the fact I can now take the golf cart with us and not have to worry about it on a smaller trailer I can't see.

This one is how we are going to haul the cart, more to one side, to be able to load other stuff and still get into the coach if need be.


Here is it loaded in the center.

 

[Glazier]

That is the same size Golf Cart we have, I am happy to see it fits in the 350M garage. How does your truck handle that Momentum? I suspect power is not an issue, just wondering about the overall towing experience.

 

[GD350M]

Towing so far has been great. I do feel it back there, and I'm always worried about height restrictions. This unit is about 13'6" tall. It's up there. I've only pulled 48 miles on it so far (been very busy at work where we haven't had time to go do a shake down run) but I did pull It from he dealer empty, then loaded it with the cart and our things and pulled it again. With The cart in the garage, I think it makes a difference in the way it pulls. I also pressure up my bags to 55 psi, this puts the truck with only a 1" squat and my headlights are not shining the tree tops.

 

[Traveling Piper]

That looks great and I think our kayak and bikes will also fit beside the cart. Might be tight fit. Thanks so much for posting pics. I took about 100 pics of the 350 in the showroom when I ordered ours, but did not do exact measurements.

Was also wondering about master bath. Is there an access point for directly under the sink.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, been real busy at work. But here is a picture of the sink in the main bathroom

besides that area you do have a nice deep storage just above the commode that we store towels, rags, blow dryer, and much more.


Hope this helps

Thanks for the picture, but the forum says I can't open the pics?? However it lets me reply. Do you know why?

 

[GD350M]

The only way to see pictures is you have to be a "Trial Member" or a paid member.

 

[Dave and Monica]

Thanks for the picture, but the forum says I can't open the pics?? However it lets me reply. Do you know why?

I would suspect that your 30 day trial membership is over which allowed full privileges. After the trial period you will not have full privileges unless you become a site sponsor for $12 per year. The membership cost covers server time vs using ads to cover costs.

Hi Piper,
We want to let you know that we are really enjoying our 350, and are certain you will too! We have pulled ours from Georgia to California and it pulls quite well, it is a little heavier than our last trailer but there is so much more to this trailer. We full time in ours, so have had some time to shake it down pretty well. Our only regret so far is the bedroom closet, the closet could be a little taller, as our clothes do not hang freely and with the four seasons of clothes we carry, it was necessary to put a clothes rod up in the garage between the washer dryer and the bunk beds! W did find a few problems with the trailer but Grand Design is awesome when it comes to resolving them, so we could not be happier!
Hope you get yours before Christmas, and have a Merry Christmas!

Thanks again- have never been on a paid forum. Didn't realize this one was that way. Will consider it. Appreciate all your info AKtravel, will continue to peruse the forum for your post- really enjoy reading them.

BTW we were thinking that we would use the loft area (with some type of door or decorative board across opening) to keep extra blankets and heavy, seldom used coats, etc,. Have you explored this to save room in your closet?

 

[aktravler]

Our upper loft is just that, storage! We put containers of extra bedding and out of season clothes up there, and have a expandable rod to place there when traveling. I don't think I want any of my grandkids to even try and sleep up there! We were thinking that when we get home to Alaska and I have all my tools at my disposal that we might close the living room side of the loft and open the garage side so it would be just storage.

 

[Traveling Piper]

Sounds great- like something we would consider. The floor plan for the350 says storage along both side walls, but we can't see how there could be any behind the beds and dinette?? BTW we keep looking at the pics, but we can't remember where the sewer hose is kept.
