I looked at a lot of other 5ver's and for my money I went with the Solitude. I know that my Solitude does not have a 10 inch frame as you are stating. All RV manufacturers use what I consider to be cheap TV's and Stereo systems. Most manufacturers still do not have the whisper quiet AC, so that was not a factor in my decision. 4 step entry would be nice but not a deal breaker.
The biggest thing I learned about GD was that their reputation for service after the purchase and their customer service is what puts them heads above all the other manufacturers.
