First, I got mine for $35,000 with an $800 Reese hitch included. I got that price from several different dealers. Second, the 313 is a great trailer with a fantastic floorplan. The quaility is above that of other brands, but what really sells the Grand Design trailers is the customer service. As typical in the industry, every TT and 5er will have issues, but GD is truly in a class of its own when it comes to taking care of these issues. I personally have only had a couple of very minor problems, all but one I have been able to fix myself. But I am working in NM and can't get the last one (fireplace that works in reverse) fixed right now. I was able to talk directly with Grand Design Customer Service and they will repair/replace my fireplace under warranty, even if the warranty has expired. All in all, I'm very happy so far...but I don't have that many miles on mine yet, so there could be problems waiting in the wings. A lot of people have had problems with axles/brakes of various GD models. But you'll get that with any brand.
