Hi, I am looking at these Super Cs. Other than the small tanks I think the generator placement is the main problem. I can't find much info on people that actually own these but how quiet is it in the bedroom with the generator nearly right under you? I had a toyhauler with a gas Onan about 10 years ago and it shook the entire trailer and was really noisy. If you have one, got any feedback on the generator or anything else you like or don't like? Thanks318Views0likes2CommentsHolding off on buying a new RV
I am holding off on buying a new RV due to all of the frame issues. Even if the manufacturer agrees to fix it, then you are still out of your RV for weeks or months. I see no reason to buy a new unit and have issues. GD finally agreed to go back and offer warranties 5 years back but that was after they had made people sign non disclosure agreements- which was pretty crappy in my mind. Sure only a small percentage of RV's have issue but without a doubt I will not buy a Solitude, Momentum or any other heavy unit from other brands that utilizes the Lippert frame. Not sure what stupid engineer came up with the idea that you are supposed to use some lag bolts to help hold your camper together?? maybe build the frame stronger like on a gooseneck trailer???????????415Views1like0CommentsRe: Momentum 325G

We are looking at the 325G. https://www.granddesignrv.com/toy-haulers/momentum-g-class/325g https://changinglanesrv.com/415g-and-325g/ Who makes a floor plan similar to this? I can find plenty of open concept toy haulers but none that are 101" wide and short like this one. We have a Polaris Turbo R and a Polaris XP5 4 door Xpedition and need the option to carry either one. From the video description width or length for either one won't be a problem. Turbo R is 78" wide and Xpedition is 68". What about height? Anybody know the dimensions to the bottom of the happi jac sofa? Also can you remove the bed above the happi jac sofa, then raise the bed up for more height clearance?960Views0likes3CommentsRe: F550 thoughts?

The house cabover is going to prevent that. From what I have read it can be serviced from the top. If the engine has to come out it comes out the front1.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: F550 thoughts?

Unless the OP edited the original post, the motorhome is not unnamed. It's an F550, which has hydraulic brakes, and the GVWR and GCWR figures are readily available online. I don't have a clue as to what he's talking about either. Post hasn't been edited1.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: F550 thoughts?

The Wrangler weighs about 5500 pounds. You should have no problems on any hills that you encounter. My Magnitude is 19500 pounds. Thanks1.4KViews0likes0Comments
