Picked it up Saturday. It is nice. PDI went great. Had "0" issues, nothing, even cosmetic. Was very pleased. 140 mile pull home, and with the Mor-ryde, it pulls great. Ordered the Bravado Brick color, hadn't saw one, and is better than we thought it would turn out. Heres a few pics.

Sweet! The RLTS is the one that got us hooked on the Designers, but we chose to go with the RLSA. Either one has pluses. We completely love ours and we're sure you will too. Happy "Camping".

Congrats Man !!! I'm glad to hear it all went so well. It Looks GREAT !! 
I am so psyched about picking ours up ... I can hardley wait !!!
We plan on taking 4 days to get home from Des Moines ... quite an adventure for the first time pulling a 5'er. Glad we got the Mor-Ryde!!
Think 400+ miles a day is pushing it?
Best of luck ... and enjoy !!!

Very, very nice dura...and I'm glad we chose that color interior also...
Did you get the double (thermal) pane windows also? A pice of those would be nice if you get a chance...
Can't wait for ours to show up on the dealer's lot (supposed to be built 11/16)..
Cruz...400 miles a day would equate to about 7-8 miles a day...not bad but all depends how eager you are to get back home...any way you go enjoy yourselves!

Well ... picked up the 5'er this afternoon and absolutely thrilled with it !!. Just some minor issues on the PDI, Except for a stained area on the counter ... hope to get that replaced...
First day out and about 250 miles later I'm amazed at how well it travels. Don't know if it's the Mor-Ryde or what, but smooth ...
I was amazed at how the 2500HD D/A handled the trailer. Pulling the hills on 35 South of Des Moines into Kansas City I think it downshifted twice. Maintained 60 to 65 easily and the EGT never went over 1150 ... when I stopped the EGT dropped right away below 350. Once had to stop quickly and did so fairly quickly. Very comfortable ride today.
It's all winterized right ow, so we're not using the water system ... We're at the KOA in Lawrence, KS ... heat is on, it's about 30 outside and comfortable inside.
400 miles tomorrow expecting to get us into western Oklahoma.
I've got a smile on my face, and even more important ... so does my wife.
