Grand design solitude?
My wife saw a really cool 5er on the freeway called a grand design solitude. Looked up the site and it looks interesting anyone seen one? Know who's the mfgr behind it? Thanks as always Jim

If they are really using a 10 inch I Beam, they are behind the times. Montana and Big Horns have all switched to 12 inch I Beams. And the Solitude for being as big as they advertise is actually lighter than many other brands.
Just additional food for thought.
Where do you get your information from?
Any comparable Montana or Big Horn have a 15,500 or 16,000 GVW, which is what the Solitude has also. Even empty weights are similar, at 12,500- 13,500lbs. What do you think makes them lighter?
Heartland uses a 10" I beam except on "larger models", which is the same for GD. Montana advertises a 12" frame, but what they don't tell you is that it is a 12" main frame, but an 8" drop frame up front, where it really matters.
Even your Redwood with a Lippert/Falcon FIT chassis is a 12" main, and 10" drop....and uses 7000lb axles.
