Grand Design 379FL vs Lifestyle (Evergreen) 379FL

My husband and I are new to the world of RVs and are looking at getting our first Fifth Wheel. Right now, we have it narrowed down to two different fifth wheels, the 2016 Grand Design Solitude 379FL or the 2016 Lifestyle/Evergreen Bay Hill 379FL.

We are looking for opinions on both RVs and wondering if one was better than the other and the different ways one may be better than the other.

  • Hi...my wife and I are new to RV life and I started out loving the Evergreen brand... then as I researched and looked on owner forums.... I found GD and Open Range... both had the exact floor plan I wanted... after MANY hours of study and actually going in units... we chose Open Range 323RLS TT. I found more quality and less overall "things going wrong" We have been FT since end of Jan and love it.....Look at Open Range brand.....you won't be disappointed...

  • One thing nice about the front living room is you get away with a smaller truck since most the storage is behind the wheels. I have the Montana 3711FL and the pin weight is right at 3100 so you can get by with newer one ton truck but I still at the top end of payload but well within towing capacity.
