The wife and I just pulled the trigger on a new Grand Design Momentum 381m. We will be picking it up this Saturday. This will be our first RV of any sort, and we look forward to getting it out. I gave the dealer our extensive PDI checklist so hopefully there are no surprises. Thanks to this forum for that.Do you think our F150 short bed will do ok pulling it, and will we need a slider hitch? Just Kidding!! I worked a B&W Companion puck hitch into the deal. :BI will keep this thread updated with pics once we take delivery. We anxiously await...

Welcome to the world of Trailer Trash. Congratulations on the new purchase.Buckle up for the exciting times we all experienced as new RV owners. Hopefully you and your wife can roll with the punches and look back fondly at these early days.What kind of toys will you be hauling?Good luck with your PDI at the dealer. That was smart to give your dealer a copy of the PDI instead of just springing it on him.

You're kidding! This is a set-up, gotcha first post right?I checked the specs on a Grand Design Momentum 381m. It's 42' long and has a dry weight of 14,700 lbs and you're going to pull it with an F150???

We will be hauling a RZR xp1k two seater for now, but have room to upgrade when needed. Kayaks and what not will also come along soon.Not my first post. I've been a member a while, lurking and learning in the background. You guys have answered several questions for me, thank you. My "just kidding" comment must have been overlooked by a few, in regards to my truck. Trying to have a sense of humor...
