Should we be considering other brands/models?
My wife and I are on a path that will find us full-timing by the end of 2015. We own a 2013 Sierra 2500HD Durmax/Allison and, after scaling the truck, have 16,980 GCWR left - but only 2,480 GVWR and 3...

I have a 2015 Reflection 323BHS model. I too was impressed with Grand Design's floorplans and reasonable weight of this 37' mid size trailer.
My unit weights 11K lbs. and the kingpin weight is 2K--about the max for a 3/4 ton diesel powered truck. I didn't want to invest in a new 1 ton truck or deal with dual rear wheels.
My trailer was special ordered with the SuperSofa option to take the place of the dinette. It's a love seat with left hand and right hand recliners--all wallhugger units. It's 12' of the most comfortable seating I've ever been in, and available only on Grand Design's bunkhouse units.
Grand Design has been in business 2 years, and they built over 2000 fifth wheel trailers in their first 18 months. They're going to be a serious force in the RV market. They're a company that listens to their customers and they follow virtually every RV forum closely. Grand Design customer service is absolutely top notch, and every product manager, department manager and even their three owners will talk directly to you. You couldn't go wrong with the 337 model.
