Hello all!
I'm not a current GD owner, but I have been doing months of research and was initially sold on the Grand Design 351M model. However, I cannot convince my wife to get a dually to support the 2900ish pin weight (unloaded). Since then, I have been looking at the 320G (2300 pin weight). The specs seem to line up, and seems like it would work with my, on-order, F350 with 3500 payload.
However, after reading thru a few threads, it seems there is an issue to some with the way loading the 320G affects pin weight (specific to the location of the fresh water tank when it needs to be filled). The pin weights some people had were far too light and they had trouble raising them high enough.
This brought me full circle. I was curious what people's experiences were with the 351m.
What was your pin weight when loaded and what were you loaded with? What precautions did you take, and how was the tow?
P.S. It should be noted that my use for a toy hauler has nothing to do with motorized (heavy) toys. My toys are mountain bikes. <200 lbs of them and whatever my young kids would like to tow along. I realize this probably means that the 320G will be my best bet and I will likely avoid the stories I read even with the fresh water full.
Thank you in advance for the knowledge!
