Show Us Your Solitude

[Steve and Cill]

Everyone seems to love their Solitude, so I thought why not show them off. Here's ours:

Does adding a hitch to the bumper of the 5th wheel to pull a trailer void the factory warranty?

 

[Steve and Cill]

marmidor, ours came from the factory with a hitch.

Go to the Tech Corner and ask this question, Janice from Customer Relations will be able to answer your question.

 

[marmidor]

Well that stinks. We asked if this could be done and we were told it couldn't be added :-\

This is my Solitude parked at the KOA near Harrisonburg, Virginia. One of my favorite campgrounds in the Shenendoah Valley between the two mountain ridges.

Did you mount that tow hitch to your Solitude and what tow hitch did you use? How does it tow? Do you have any issues with states that don't allow triple or double tow ? Thanks for your comment

In the months after we got ours, it didn't take long before we found several others in the Western Washington area. We all have 369RL's, hang out together and have become very close friends. Thanks GD for building such a great product. The pic is at Diamond Point Resort in Sequim, Washington.

The dealer mounted it. They have a guy who does all the rigging of the trucks etc. He is actually a welder/fabricator and built it from scratch, very well done. The 2nd trailer pulls straight as an arrow no problems at all. I wouldn't take it to a state that doesn't allow double tow so that's not a problem.

FYI!!!!!.....I found out the hard way that you can turn sharp enough where the two trailers will jackknife going forward. I got a small dent in the trim of the Solitude, but was able to fix it myself.

Just finished our two week shakedown trip in our 2014 369RL at Fort Wilderness. We're happy to report no major issues found with anything at this time 8)

BTW, how can I make the picture smaller so it's no so difficult to see? Thanks.

How was it getting into your site? Fort Wilderness can have some tough sites to get into. If you don't mind me asking where did you get the fort wilderness custom sign from? Love it and would like to get one.

 

[WishUponanRVStar!]

We had a premium site at Fort Wilderness, which have been redone the last few years to accommodate today's bigger rigs. The pads are larger and angled now, and was really a breeze to back into. Its been our favorite campground. I will pm the info on the sign, and thanks for the help on resizing the picture!

I am booking 3 weeks for August 2015. We have stayed at Fort Wilderness 3X already but the last time I was there had a real hard time getting in my spot with my 39 foot 5th wheel. Now I have a 43 foot Momentum so I am worried about maneuvering into a site. What loop were you in? I usually stay in the 700 loop. Looking forward to the PM on the sign.
