Just wanted to say thanks for the responses on my height thread and give an update on our first long trip.
We traded in our Vectra MH and bought a Solitude by Grand Design. After a few short trips to remember to pack the toilet paper and such, we took off for Colorado. We have rv'd for 25 years but never had any kind of trailer. Not sure why I started with the biggest I could find 39'. LOL. Oh and the only way I could get the 4 wheeler up there was to double tow. Go for the gusto...right. Well we had a great trip. We went to Sargents, CO first. the west side of Monarch Pass to meet up with our first of 3 other couples. I'm pulling all this with a 2010 Ford F-350 dually 6.4. I wasn't sure about the grade but the dealer said put it in tow/haul and go over the pass. WOW.. 3000 rpm, 40 mph and the temp never moved from normal on the engine or trans. Now the fan clutch came to life but I was impressed with the truck.
From there we went to Taylor Park to meet everybody else. They're all MHers. Guess where we ate, yep the 5th wheel. Rode the heck out of the 4 wheelers then on to South Fork for more riding. We ended the trip in Silverton, CO. Hated to come home but work called.
The only mishap of the trip was when the 2nd trailer kissed the corner of the 5th wheel. I did this going forward. I had no clue you could jack knife a trailer going forward. Just a PSA for the double towers.
Over all very great trip and glad we made the move to the 5th wheel.
Happy travels y'all.
