This floor plan is our most favorite of the Solitude line up. When we are able to step up from our Reflection, the 280RK is definitely what we will go with.
How much is it? This looks great for couple full time. King bed looks too tight to get around for person sleeping on the right side so would prefer the Queen. Otherwise I see it to be pretty perfect. Now the price could make it not so perfect. Do all the windows open? When seeing exterior view they seem not to open well if at all?
I’m “trying “ to encourage my husband to buy us a travel trailer. I think we would like the floor plan of the 5th wheel but we only have an F-150 pickup and so we would need to buy a bigger truck. I’m looking on TH-cam for trailers but I need a king size bed and washer and dryer. Will I have any luck getting that? My husband is a retired airline pilot but very nervous at the thought of driving a truck pulling a trailer or a 5th wheel…..scared to death. Does it get easy pulling a rig?
Hello Vicki, we have had both travel trailer and 5th wheel. I our experience a 5th wheel is much more easier to manage, especially when backing into tight sights. You can get a king and put a washer dryer in this unit. This is a nice unit! So much so we still think about it. I can see us getting a Solitude after we slow down from full time travel. You would need a F250 at least for this rig but like I said a 5th wheel is so much easier to pull. Thanks for watching!
Hello Campoholics. Wow solitude 280rk floor plan is great layout, compact fifth wheel and definitely couples coach with all the luxury amenities to full time in. That's exactly what I'm going to do solo. All ready eyeing 2023 model 280rk dealer near me just received. Thanks for the great videos
Only piece of constructive criticism would be I'd like to see the control panel moved to the side of that overhead cabinet above the Washer dryer prep, then that space by the door could become a full height coat closet.
Hello John, we are of course biased in giving you an answer. We are on our second Grand Design and absolutely love our Momentum. In our humble opinion Grand Design is the best built for the buck. Along with that you cant go wrong with the customer service. When your out shopping, walk into a GD unit and stomp on the floor, Knock on the walls, look at the trim and feel the doors. You'll know when you compare to other brands. Thanks for watching!
Nice tour. Thank you. We own a Solitude 310GK. I do like the S Class for the bedroom and bath area. I’d miss the sofa for inside visiting with other “camperholics”…
Would have been nice if he stood in the shower to get a feel for the size. No offense, but a shorter woman standing in the shower doesn't really show us how big it is!
FINALLY I see some one looking at construction not just cute, pretty. I wish they would offer a on demand water heater, rework the furnace duct work to a solid main with the flexible branch.
We had just bought our Solitude S-Class 2930RL and about a week later they introduced the Solitude 280RK. It is a beautiful rig. Ugh! We do love our S-Class 2930RL we bought it because of the bedroom bathroom layout.
We love this floor plan. But we cannot understand why Grand Design / Lippert have the idea of a single cup holder in a love seat…. Definitely not a deal breaker, but, come on…. Amazing Grand Design product otherwise!
Hello Denise! Thank you for your concern. You may not be familiar with our channel, but we are official Grand Design Social Media Influencers and was asked by Grand Design to film this particular unit at the Tampa show. So, we were assigned a date and time and yes, the door was locked during the filming of this unit for a period of about 38 minutes. Thank you for watching and I hope this video help with your decision on your next RV!
*Well Campoholics, what do you see as pros and cons with this couples camper. We love this floor plan. Tell us what you think! *
❤ This is the rig for us!!!!! We are both retired and this is the perfect size!!! I love the washer/dryer area!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! ❤
We love this rig also!
Nice!
Thanks!

That's our thought, such a nice rig for the size of it.

So sorry for the delay!! At this years Tampa RV show I think it was 89K.

Also here is a video we did on how to hook up a 5th wheel. th-cam.com/video/6PeQg4Dh_Lc/w-d-xo.html
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS UNIT!
So do we!
Finally getting the washer dryer out of the closet
Right!
Hello Campoholics. Wow solitude 280rk floor plan is great layout, compact fifth wheel and definitely couples coach with all the luxury amenities to full time in. That's exactly what I'm going to do solo. All ready eyeing 2023 model 280rk dealer near me just received. Thanks for the great videos
Outstanding! I'm serious when I say this floor plan had us really thinking! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
sweet video man...we are about to pull the trigger on one in ontario...lots of info 👍
Right on!
Wow that’s nice
It sure is, be a great couples camper!
Only piece of constructive criticism would be I'd like to see the control panel moved to the side of that overhead cabinet above the Washer dryer prep, then that space by the door could become a full height coat closet.
Thank you for the input.
Hello Campoholics
Since you own Grand Design fifth wheel how is the quality? A lot of fifth wheels looks nice but not as good of quality.

Yep, I would have to option in the sofa. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Love our Solitude 310gkr
Nicely done. The most thorough review on this rig I have watched. If I was in the market for a new rv, this would be on my list.
Thank you Kevin!
Very impressive for the size
It sure is! Time to downsize?
You speak about children....respectfully, where would they sleep ?
Recliners, air mattress on floor?
Great job on the tour!
Thanks Super Fan!
Would have been nice if he stood in the shower to get a feel for the size. No offense, but a shorter woman standing in the shower doesn't really show us how big it is!
Hello Flint, I'm 5-11 and have plenty of headroom in the shower. But yes, I would have been a better example. Thank yah.
FINALLY I see some one looking at construction not just cute, pretty.
I wish they would offer a on demand water heater, rework the furnace duct work to a solid main with the flexible branch.
Like the furnace ductwork work idea! Thanks for watching.
Great tour! Thanks again for pointing this out when we were there, so many great features. Safe travels, hope to see you in a park soon.
Thank yah! Sure was nice meeting yahs and we subbed your channel.
Great tour. One question, can you access the living area with the slide in?
Hello Robert, Yes you can access the fridge slide with the slide in, per Grand Design. Thanks for watching!
We just bought one at the Quartside show. Get it in a few days. Love the design and all the bells and whistles.
Oh wow, congratulations!!
Great tour! Thanks for sharing and taking us along. New subscriber here. 👍
Welcome aboard salty!!
Like the 310gk better but that's just me. Can access both fridge and bathroom with slides in.
Valid reason!
Beautiful rig. Great presentation!!!
Thanks Super Fan!
We had just bought our Solitude S-Class 2930RL and about a week later they introduced the Solitude 280RK. It is a beautiful rig. Ugh! We do love our S-Class 2930RL we bought it because of the bedroom bathroom layout.
Thanks for sharing!
Love it. Would also like to see an east/west bedroom with a slide. Everything else is great.
Great idea!
There's only one floorplan that has this bathroom with a bed slide and that would the solitude s class 3540gk. It's nice, however it is 38 ft long
We love this floor plan. But we cannot understand why Grand Design / Lippert have the idea of a single cup holder in a love seat…. Definitely not a deal breaker, but, come on…. Amazing Grand Design product otherwise!
Good point! We'll pass that on!
I hope you didn't lock other paying customers out during a RV show so you could make this video.
