RE: Washington State
What ever you dicide to do, if you want to stay in State Parks make your reservations NOW!
Even now, the better spots or even just sites with utilities will probably be booked solid.
We have to make all our reservations 9 months in advance.
Hope you enjoy our state!

This^^ - for both state parks and privately owned parks. The PNW is gorgeous - which is why everyone and their mother's uncle wants to be there in the summer.

RE: You may have shocks but are they mounted right.
Second , that looks like a whole new suspension. And the right kind too.
You guessed correctly - MORryde independent suspension.Installed it on our Reflection and Grand Design is going to tow our new Solitude over to MORryde when it comes off the line to have the IS installed on it, too.

RE: Charging trailer battery while towing and smart charging
About 200 watts of solar on the roof of your trailer will keep your batteries charged when traveling down the road.
This^^.

RE: Traveling Alone
There's a "BOF" group (Birds of a Feather) in the Escapees RV club just for singles. They seem to have a lot of fun together and meet up different places. You might check out the Escapees and find out about the BOF. I'm very sorry sorry for your loss. Being a widower, I can tell you that a new normal will eventually materialize.

RE: You may have shocks but are they mounted right.
This is how my shocks are mounted (a little hard to see, but that's the shock behind the suspension link).

RE: Chucking....is it the trailer or the truck?
Chucking (the motion - not the noise it may cause) is a dynamic interaction between the truck and the trailer. It varies based on the characteristics of the truck and the trailer. All the various hitches can do is make more or less noise. The only effective way to deal with chucking is to install a dampened pin box or an air-ride hitch.

RE: Grand Design owners forum
Do they charge people to join their forum like Arctic Fox tries (and fails) to do?
No. The moderators are all volunteers that had previously participated and/or moderated on the other GD owners forum. It's going very well on the new forum and the GD reps who monitor it have been very responsive.

RE: NM-26 Between Hatch and Deming, New Mexico
I'm from Las Cruces - absolutely nothing wrong with 26 between Hatch and Deming - and the Mountain Directory has no warnings on it, either.

RE: Howling wind
Several of the reporting stations around you are reporting 22 MPH steady - I'm sure the gusts are higher. Do you have slide toppers and, if so, how are they faring?

RE: Route 82 Alamagordo to Artesia
It's a little farther but a much easier drive to take 70 past Ruidoso, 380 to Roswell and then 285 down to Artesia. That's what I'd do with my fiver. When you leave Artesia, try to avoid 285 out of Carlsbad to Pecos - it's miserable!

RE: Best type of house battery
I would never consider anything other than a deep cycle battery for my house battery. The advantage AGMs have over standard flooded batteries is lower maintenance (I've used them in boats for that reason). If people want to take the next giant step in RV batteries these days, they're going with Battle Born lithium batteries. They're pretty expensive, though.

RE: Grand Design Solitude vs Solitude s class
I had a rear fiberglass cap on my 2011 Cardinal, don't miss it at all on my 2018 Grand Design Solitude. I really like the wide body construction, which is not available on Montana, Cardinal, Cedar Creek, wide body makes a huge difference, especially with opposing slides like I have on my 375RES.
Over time, I've also seen more issues with leaks and separation with rear end caps than with the type of construction on the Solitudes.

The same material used in medical applications. I can drive pretty much all day sitting on one.

RE: Need pro
Look at the menus on the left of this site.
Check out the "Education" sub-menus on this site.
Too much has been written on the topic to ask folks to recreate it. Research and read.

RE: Grand Design Solitude vs Solitude s class
I heard that Solitude S uses electric leveling and regular Solitude uses hydraulic. There are other differences too I'm sure.
You are correct.

RE: Dish TV in Rocky point
Do a search on "Dish Network spot beam map" and look at images. According to some I found, you should be able to unless Dish locks you out due to your antenna GPS location.

RE: Grand Design Solitude vs Solitude s class
I will resurrect this topic because I came here looking for the same information. After visiting here I found this that gives a simple explanation of the S-class:

I came back and registered to share. I hope it helps the OP and/or others.
