While I personally will not be spending millions on a luxury RV this year (although it's fun to look!), I will say I've had my eye on that Grand Design 5th wheel ever since we walked through one a few years ago at the dealer.  If we ever pull the trigger on giving full-timing a try...

I have lived full time in a Grand Design Reflection for the last 5 or 6 years. Winnebago bought Grand Design a couple years ago and some of the personnel started their own RV company called Alliance.  I haven'y followed them lately but last I did follow them they were perfecting their 5th wheels before moving to other types of campers. They used a lot of customer input before they sold their first one.

I agree with everyone

seems like yesterday

instead of the word  "accidentally" I believe the word should be "stupidly".

there's one

I didn't know anyone was upset

And we really think people care what anyone else thinks? They come in this campground where I live and don't give a damn what the rules or common sense say, it is all about them. Disney is the worst example of this. There isn't a person on site that is a "owner" so they feel there is no one that they think is the absolute authority to "make" them follow any rules. The fact that they paid money for a site makes them think they can do whatever they want when ever they want. They feel the chalk is what makes their little one "cute" or that they are showing off their artistic talent. What they are really doing is defacing someone else's property no matter who thinks it is cute or artistic. They leave a mess for others to clean up and should be charged a hefty fee to clean it up.

when does DC close for the winter?

I doubt we can make it again this year since there is Baseball and Volleyball

Have you looked up Beach Bend?

I agree with Andrew

Would that builder be Alliance? If so I believe it would be worth the drive. We were going to go to Tampa so see them although we are waiting to see what their TT's look.  They are starting with 5ers. They have been on FB trying to get ideas on what people want in their units and what works and doesn't work. They have incorporated some of the ideas and suggestions into their units. I believe they finished their first prototypes last week. At this time we probably aren't going to make it down for the Tampa show.

I was going to try to come up Saturday after Ty's BB game and Riley's VB games but now Ty has a double header so that is that. Anyone coming up 65 can stop by exit 27 for a visit, we are in site 13 except for most of the day Saturday :).

I got to watch about the last 5 mins of that game and I believe I actually saw the whole game

you took some good pictures Grumpy, I didn't know cameras were invented yet when you started camping.🤣

that equlizer hitch will make a lot of difference, once you get it loaded adjust it and you will love it

What about the foreign cry babies?

they'll stay home and burn a flag

The foreigners will still ignore the new stupid rules and the cry babies will still say they are too close and want them done away with completely within 100 miles.

Dave is a funny boy, I don't really know how to spell Texas let alone Tennessee. But the real story is that the original Owners made their money in oil (Texas T) so when they built this place that was the name they gave it. The second owners never changed it (they were from Ohio) and when the current owners (James and Pat) bought it they were from Texas (Houston) and when they were closing on it the lawyer asked what they wanted to change the name to and James said there was no reason to change it.

Are folks going to come down for Labor Day again this year? We may want to plan a Grand Gathering at Texas T for that weekend 🙂

 

I hope so, I am pretty sure Tim wants to make it up I know I can reserve some spots at that wonderful campground that is so well kept by a crack maintenance team. I will put it out on the interwebs that I participate in and see if anyone salutes the flag.

and believe it or not, I bought the one I am in at the Tampa show. Ask about it sometime (in person) it's a good story

I would love to Eric but every year I am running back and forth for baseball and with the girls playing volleyball now I would be gone all day Saturday and if they have a tournament that weekend it would be all day Saturday and Sunday. It kinda screwed me last year for some reason none of them had anything that weekend but it was too late. If the same happens this year I may run up for the day Saturday.

Don't forget that what ever you see as a price on line, the "real" price is about 30% less, especially if you go to one of the shows 

No matter what brand you buy there will be someone who has had a problem and "Oh my god this is the worst camper in the world". I have heard horror stories and seen horrors stories since  I live and work in the campground. I am personally living in a Grand Design Reflection bought new 3 yrs ago and have had nothing wrong except for an air conditioner the first year and that wasn't GD's fault. I believe the Reflection is outside what your specification was but they do make 2 TT's smaller called the Imagine and Transcend. Kathy just told me that they make a smaller Reflection, just saying. Anyway Grand Design was bought by Winnebago but remains as a separate company. I do believe the quality of the GD is outstanding compared to a lot of what I have seen and their customer service gets good reviews. Just my opinion.

oh, so you are saying you can't count on me?  👀 uh huh now I see
