Sorry for the loss of your house but the Solitudes are a good choice until a new house is being built. Many homes in our area have been destroyed by the hurricanes we've been having even though our house only had roof damage. Hope you two can get in the new home quickly!

Thank you. Yes it is the 310GK model. That is plenty of weight for a 2003 F350. Wanted a toy hauler but did not think I had enough truck for it. I plant to pull a small enclosed trailer with a Harley in it behind the Solitude. It has a hitch and is rated to pull 3000lbs behind the trailer.
We plan to do the same thing behind our Reflection with a little utility trailer and ATV's. Love that grand design has that feature. Nice setup!

Oh my, I hope I don't burst your bubble - PLEASE, double check before you do this. We plan to do the same thing, I took Grand Design off my short list for trailers to purchase because I have seen a big sticker on the back of many of the trailers that says if you pull another trailer with it, you will void your warranty. Maybe they had a change of heart with their new ones....but just please verify you won't void your warranty if you double tow with your grand design fifth wheel.

This is a very nice setup, my wife always tease me when we be going down the road and every 5th wheel and TT that pass us going the other direction I always look, if it safe of course but yeah this is a nice setup.

Congrats! Man that setup look awesome I know that it will be hard to not to want to get out there, we bought our 5th wheel in last July and was only able to get out once before we had to put it up it wasn't easy.

This is great news! The other mfgs advertise this as a perk, Grand Design didn't before now. Most all of them advertise about 300 lbs hitch weight and 3,000 lbs tow max. Just FYI, for most states that allow tandem towing, this is the cut off weight for needing trailer brakes on the second trailer. I know this because I've researched this very thing extensively.

That is a relief, GD didn't used to set their trailers up for this. That's great news!
