We traded in our 2000 Gulfstream Yellowstone Capri XL 34 ft today in Rock Port, TX while wintering here from MT.
After 1 year of analysis paralysis we finally settled on a Grand Design Solitude 310GK-R 36 ft. We got a helluva price on our trade in (our 2000 has been recently been fully refurbished, flooring, new seals, painted interior, new tires) and we received a $12,000 discount off the Grand Design MSRP! Best part is, we pay NO sales tax here in TX because it will be registered in our home state of MT (We don't have sales tax there)
We pick her up Monday!
Now, My truck is a 2000 F350 7.3L diesel, 2WD, long bed Super cab (110,000 miles, just broke in). My pick up is Rated for 13,700. I have new air bags and Bilstein shocks on her. Our 5th wheel, fully loaded and "Wet", is 15,000 lbs. But I am certain we'll be traveling with 14,000 loaded so I'm a little overweight, but well within safety margin.

You're joking, right? Harvest Host is free to stay at various businesses like vinyards, breweries, distilleries, farms and many other type venues, they just prefer that you join the hoist and spend a little money during your visit. Its a pretty cool deal as long as your are fully self contained and have a genny.
