    Sold quite a few at the Hershey RV Show in September.

    Have stock units coming in again soon.

    The floorplan is awesome.

    I agree with huntr70, the floorplan IS awesome. I chose mine just about the same time as you Connie. I took delivery however just last week (1/4/18). I really love this 5th wheel. I upgraded from a 2004 Damon Escaper motorhome.

    What are people using to tow the 373fb? We have a 2950rl reflection travel trailer now pulling it with an f150 but would clearly need something bigger. I’ve been browsing the f350 srw short bed and it seems well suited for the weight.

    The 373 is an awesome floor plan. Regardless of where you buy it I'm sure you'll be happy.

    I think you will need a DRW to stay within all the manufactures ratings. This is what tow planner says the pin weight will be loaded ready to camp.
    Estimated Pin/Tongue Weight 3,569 pounds
    Your truck should have this much "Cargo Carrying Capacity" in order to stay within all of your ratings. If you go to a scale and get weighed, this "Cargo Carrying Capacity" is the difference between your truck's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and it's actual weight. If you're doing this before buying, make sure you estimate the things that you normally would carry for a camping trip (don't forget the hitch and passengers!).

    You will be well within the tow capacity of F350 its the payload capacity you will be exceeding

    Thanks CWS. Despite my hopes I’m conceding that there’s no way around getting a dually 350/450 for this type of rig. The gvwr ratings are just too low for the 250/350 srw trucks. It definitely highlights the fact that the rated towing capacities are kind of a joke when they don’t state that the limiting factor is going to be the gvwr/gcwr/payload capacities.
