new fifth wheel company
I am thinking about buying a Grand Design fifth wheel, but the company is only 2 years old. Does anybody have thoughts about buying from a new company?

For quite a while we have been looking for a replacement for our ageing Titanium without success. Would buy another if they were still in business. We finally settled on the Reflection 303RLS as the compromise which best suited us for features, length and weight, so we have one on order. Two of the things that attracted us were the huge pantry and amount of counter space. The wardrobe slide in the bedroom doesn't give as much space as a bed slide unit but the bedroom layout is similar to our Titanium so we are used to it. Everything is a compromise and we weren't interested in going to a longer, heavier unit to get a bed slide.
One way the company maintains a price point is the lack of options. The only options offered on ours are a free standing dinette and thermopane windows. Anything else you want will have to be dealer installed or aftermarket. Like the Model T, you can have any colour scheme or decor you want as long as it is the single one they offer. Fortunately, we liked the one they offer.
Comments on the owners forum seem quite positive but of course nothing is perfect or trouble free. The company is very active on the forum, answering questions and seems genuinely interested in customer input. Bill Fenech, one of the founders is a frequent poster. I have emailed several questions to the company and they have been answered promptly.
Looking forward to getting it and hope the good first impression will be a lasting one.
