We also went from a MH to our current 'fiver', bigdaddy..... couldn't be happier....

We had a 5th wheel we had traveled in for a few weeks at a time before we retired and then lived in it for about 8 months when we moved and had a home built.

Then we bought a class A as we started to travel for longer time periods (3 to 5 months at a time).

Now we've gone back to a 5th wheel and still travel for long periods of time (up to 6 months in the summer) as well as take a lot of short trips.

We are really happy we went back to a fifth wheel. The much better driving experience in a vehicle meant to be driven and used primarily as a passenger vehicle as well as the experience of walking into a home-like "camper" versus walking in and out of a 'cockpit' to get to the living area makes us both happy.

I'll bet you enjoy the new 'fiver' and that you'll love driving that truck.

Welcome to the GD "family'.

This is our 3rd 5th wheel. We were never completely happy with the MH. It wasn't the experience we thought it would be. It being a gas MH we had issues finding someone to work on the chassis made by ford. Dealers would only work on the MH but not the chassis. The driving experience wasn't what we thought it would be. The big difference is the room . I'm going to have to relearn how to back this beast and pull it again but that will come with time. I think the new truck will help allot. I always pulled with a used truck that had bunch of miles but not this time. Looking forward to many adventures in this rig.

2020 Reflection 337 here. Just love it. A couple minor issues but very happy overall. We're really glad we purchased it Fall '19 well before all the pandemic price increases. Regards

We are thinking of moving from our Motorhome to the 337 model. We will be living in it full time. Do you full time or what are your thoughts on it?

As shown in the sig, we love the trailer but are slowly getting some of the bugs worked out. Currently 1/2 way through a trip to Colorado and back to Florida. Not living full time but plan to be on the road half the year in the future. Enjoy!
