We took the plunge!
We are Tim and Sue Tooley from Apex NC and we take delivery of a 2019 Solitude 375 RES on the 13th and can't wait. Will be pulling it with a 2019 F350 Dually we picked up a few weeks ago and can hardly believe what we have done. The plan was to go lightly used on both...and failed...but think we are going to be happy with what we got. Pulling the rig off the dealer lot will be interesting to say the least. We have towed travel trailers in the past but nothing like this combo! Will be heading for some type of mall like parking lot to practice a bit and then on to the local storage facility for a few days. We head off to Myrtle Beach for our maiden trip on Monday the 18th for almost 2 weeks. Will keep you posted a bit on the highlights! Here are a few pics!

That is a great set up. Welcome to the group. Looks like everybody is excited and happy.
Safe travels on the pick up and first trip out. The fifth wheel reacts a little different than a TT, so be prepared to change how you drive.
Will be watching for your reports.

Congrats!!! As Howard said you have great taste in tow vehicles AND trailers but I'm a little biased lol!! Enjoy the new rig, the 375 is an awesome trailer, I plan to full time in mine in a few years. Enjoy and let us know how the first trip goes, that truck will make it a relaxing tow trust me!

Thanks everyone! Maybe it is the Tapatalk interface to the forum, but I can't find a settings page or something like it to upgrade my membership from the 30 day trial. I added profile info but could not upgrade from there. Any ideas? I am sure it will be obvious when I see it!
