A Fifth wheel is a great option for families and couples looking to get into the RV lifestyle. It gives you a large amount of space, similar to a Class A, but it is not a motorhome. A Fifth Wheel is a split-level RV that must be towed with a gooseneck hitch in the bed of a pickup truck, while motorhomes can be driven independently and do not have to be pulled.
Grand Design prides itself on the quality of its RVs. Every one of its units is put through two inspections, one during manufacturing and another after the unit is completed.
After passing those, the unit is sent to another facility for a “pre-delivery inspection.” If the RV passes the 300+ point inspection, the unit is then sent to dealerships. Every grand design coach also comes with a 3-year limited structural warranty.
There are 12 different Solitude floorplans for RVers to choose from. The price range varies based on the model and features you want. The Solitude’s starting price is around $108,000 and the most expensive floorplan is nearly $146,000.
The biggest difference between these two models is luxury. Grand Design describes it as the “most spacious extended stay travel trailer ever built.” The Solitude is considered Grand Design’s most luxurious fifth wheel and is more spacious than the Reflection.
The Solitude is also heavier, the gross vehicle weight rating for it ranges from 15,000 pounds to 16,800 pounds. While the Reflection ranges from 11,495 pounds to 14,995 pounds.

The extra space and luxurious features make the Solitude great for longer camping trips.
