Trying to decide which toy hauler to buy.

First off, I'd like to Thank all of you in advance.

We are in the process of purchasing our first fifth wheel toy hauler and have narrowed it down to 3 units. We're looking at the Momentum, Fuzion and Cyclone. I would truly appreciate any info you can give regarding the units and which in your opinion is better. We plan on using it year round and covering a lot of ground. Majority of the time it'll be my wife, daughter, daughter's friend and myself. Overall reliability, durability, options, customer service, and if one pulls better than the other.

*Deciding on a truck as well. Thoughts about using a Dodge Cummins 3500 Mega Cab DRW (short box)? How's the stability using a sliding 5th wheel on a short box, or am I better off with a long box dually?

Thank You Again!!!
  • Love our Momentum 385TH, had a few small issues but GD took care of them with no hassles. They even sent a replacement radio directly to me so I didn't have to hassle with going through a dealer! And yes, we do hear from the big cheezes and customer support at GD on the Grand Design Owners Forum.
  • what are their roofs made of? rubber, Tpo, FIBERGLASS, aluminum?
    bumpy
  • while I love my carbon, by keystone, their service is very slow for warranty work. Last spring on the first trip we lost a window, yup you read that right, arrived at camp and the bedroom window was missing! im not certain who to blame but it took camping world 2 months to get it replaced! So for two months our new rv had a piece of lexan that I installed as a temp fix.

    whos to blame...well camping world blamed keystone, I personally blame them both, we had our old trailer for 8 years never lost a window.
  • I think you'll get better support with Momentum than the other two..
  • While we haven't taken our first trip in our Grand Design Momentum yet, I like it so far. I'm sure most trailers have fairly equal quality, but Grand Design is supposed to have great customer service. If you want, check out the Grand Design owners forum. Grand Design monitors the website and often replies.
