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?

Don't see this, as there is counter space next to cookstove, counter space either side of the sink island, and whole wall length counter space at the front hutch. More counter space than my current trailer has, at least double the amount. Maybe because we cook outside as much as we can, we just don't see the issue you do. I have a rather large kitchen counter space in my residental home, and I never have enough counter space when I cook. :)- We spent 3 years on vacations touring Trailers manuf. to observe building methods before we bought. If you can't do that, go to every RV show you can and crawl under, over, open every drawer, door etc. Sit on the pot, get in shower, "cook" a meal, "watch" TV and every other thing you would do.

- I have looked at many trailers and I like what I have seen and read. In fact, I pick up my new Reflection 303RLS tomorrow, Tuesday April 8. There are not many constants in this world, sunrise, sunset, birth, death, taxes, all else is a******shoot. I don't want to sound contrite, but you take a chance with just about anything you buy now. Major components are all the same on trailers, you are looking at the reputation of the company for guidance. Grand Design has a good reputation and customer service reputation, they seem to go out of their way to help solve any issues. Dealers are the one thing that will make or break a manufacturer.
- Nothing beats a good inspection starting with the frame & how the running gear is attatched to it. Then it is a look in the basement to see how neat & tidy the wiring has been done. If all looks good after the how it is made stuff is looked at then go inside & start counting TVs, fabric colours & all the fluffy stuff.
