    New From Texas

    Good morning. New to 5th wheels and new to Grand Design. We've been looking for that 'just right' 5th wheel for three years now. Just sold our 2011 Jayco 26BH travel trailer & tomorrow we're going to check out the 2019 Reflection 303RLS that we've put $1K earnest money down on. Plan on picking it up next weekend. 2 awnings, 2 a/c, table & chairs and auto level are what we're very excited about.

    I'm planning on going with the Andersen Ultimate Hitch. Tow vehicle is a 2014 RAM 2500 6.7L CTD.

    I'd welcome any and all advice you guys would be willing to give. Thanks!

    Mike

    Congrats and welcome to the family.

    Your 2500 should tow the 303RLS without any problems. I have a 311BHS (about 2000lbs more than yours) and towed it for nearly 2years without any problem. My son works at a dealership in San Marcos and I went there to pick up a part. They had just received a 3500HD that morning. I shouldn't have done it, but I did. Traded the 2500HD for the 3500HD. Didn't need it, but when the DW retires in May and we start doing more traveling around Texas, OK and Louisiana felt like it would be a better ride.
