Brand Questions and 5er Choices
So, I'm looking at replacing my Class A with a 5er. I've pretty much made the decision TO do it, the only remaining is with what and when. I live in it full time, but don't move it much - the last tim...

We own a Grand Design Solitude 375RES, and side by side compared it with the Montana 3791RD. We chose the Solitude for a variety of reasons, mostly for the reputation of great customer service from Grand Design, and no so great Keystone customer service which has been mentioned numerous times on these forums.
Overall, the Solitude is a wide body coach, it's 101 inches wide and that shows on the inside with more room to roam. We like the really tall slide outs, the wood trimmed window treatments, and the generous use of LED lighting through out the coach.
On the outside, the Solitude has superior rear storage beneath the living room, it has a completely open storage area with much larger baggage doors. The outside rear storage can swallow up two 11 foot kayaks comfortably, or three if you stuff em in.
On the inside, Solitude has more windows and bigger windows, and a large panoramic rear living room window where Montana offers two tiny windows. The Solitude kitchen area offers a buffet area with a spot for a tv, not the Montana. The Solitude bathroom has a deeper shower than the Montana for more elbow room. In the bedroom, we love the horizontal window over the headboard and the walk in closet with all the shelving perfectly fits our needs.
We got two calls from Grand Design BEFORE we ordered our unit, calls to answer questions we had. After a year of traveling, we are totally satisfied with our purchase and would buy the exact same model again without hesitation.
