Expert Answers about Grand Design Solitude Fifth Wheel


  • Which Companion 5th Wheel Hitch for 2016 Ford F-350 Equipped with B&W Gooseneck Hitch
  • If you have a long bed truck, the B&W # BWRVK3500 you'd looked at would work perfectly. If you have the short bed, use the sliding model part # BWRVK3400-5W. The other hitch part numbers you mentioned are compatible with the tow prep puck system, and not the B&W Turnover Ball, so none of those would work for you. The Companion will work perfectly for you, as long as your 5th wheel doesn't have a rotating pin box like the Reese Revolution or Sidewinder or the Lippert Turning Point. If you...

  • The Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Observation Camera System w/ 3 Marker Light Cameras - 7" Screen # FR98NR will work with your 2019 Grand Design Solitude 2930RL and will replace your current marker lights.

I included a video...

  • Replacement Leaf Spring for 7k Rated Trailer Axle
  • We have one 7k axle rated leaf spring with the part # e64SR which is 24-7/8 inches. You'd need to measure the current springs on your trailer to make sure this would be correct size. Hopefully it is as this is only spring size we have in this capacity.

  • Could DOT 4LV Brake Fluid be Used in Hydrastar Actuators
  • The DOT 4 LV is a lower viscosity version of the 4 formula. It's never been tested in the Hydrastar actuators like # HBA16 and based on the performance differences people have noted in automotive applications when using one over the other I would not recommend it. It might work to a diminished degree or it might work totally fine depending on your climate but for the price of regular DOT 4 I would stick with DOT 3 or DOT 4.

  • Recommended Backup Camera for 2022 Grand Design Solitude Fifth Wheel
  • The Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System part # FOS43TASF is what I recommend for a 2022 Grand Design Solitude Fifth Wheel. If the trailer has the camera prep then it will be a simple plug-in-play install but if not, it's still very simple to install, you just have to run a wire and drill a few small holes. This is the best wireless camera system on the market and used from the factory on many trailers. The color monitor is very clear and it can even transmit audio from the...

  • Parts Needed to Convert to Disc Brakes on 2019 Grand Design Solitude 2930RL
  • We can definitely get your 2019 Grand Design Solitude 2930RL set up with disc brakes, and to do so you'll need the hub-and-rotor disc brake kit, as well as an electric over hydraulic actuator. Converting to electric-over-hydraulic brakes is a really smart idea because hydraulic brakes have better stopping power than electric brakes, but electric brakes have better responsiveness, so this way you get the best of both worlds for your trailer. There is an all-in-one kit that will get you...

  • Why Can't Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes Be Used on 5th Wheel Trailer
  • I do have an option for you but the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes part # HLY84FR isn't rated for use on a fifth wheel trailer as the ride on the back of a trailer is much harsher than on a vehicle and the rack simply isn't built for this extra stress. That said, there is a version of this rack made specifically for fifth wheel trailers and it's the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes part # HLY64FR which works great for e-bikes as well.

  • Replacement Hub Seal for Dexter 7k Trailer Axle
  • The interesting thing about Dexter 7k axles is that they could come with two different grease seals with the only difference being the inner diameter of the seal. If the inner diameter is 2.25 inch you'd want the part # 10-63 or if it's 2.125 you'd want # 21325. Easiest way to take this measurement is to pull a hub and measure the spindle where the seal rides.

  • Are the Lippert Never Fail Bushings A Worthwhile Upgrade
  • The factory and even some aftermarket leaf spring and equalizer bushings are usually very poor quality and simply do not last but a few seasons. The breakdown of these bushings creates noise and then causes additional strain to be put on other suspensions components making them wear out faster as well. Therefore, the incorporation of upgraded leaf spring and equalizer bushings, the Never Fail Bushing part # TRBU11566, part # LC279684, or part # LC279686 in particular are definitely worth...

  • Storage Cover Recommendation for 2017 Grand Design Solitude 384GRK
  • For your 2017 Grand Design Solitude Fifth Wheel 384GRK the best option for a storage cover is the Aquashed part # 290-52258 which is the correct size, provides best protection, and is easiest to install. To pick out the correct tire covers I'd need to know what size tires you have.

  • Recommended E-Bike Rack for a 5th Wheel Trailer
  • The best option I have to carry two e-bikes on a fifth wheel trailer is with the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes part # HLY64FR which was designed for this exact purpose, to carry bikes on an RV. The RV Rider has an 80 lb weight capacity so it can be used with e-bikes, it comes with a lock for security, and the upright mast design can easily accommodate bikes with an alternative frame without an adapter.

  • Recommended Carrier For a Generator To Fit a 2" Receiver on a 2022 Grand Design Solitude
  • I recommend using a carrier like the TorkLift Lock and Load 24x27 # TLA7752 as it will allow you to secure your generator much better than other carriers. It fits a 2" receiver and is capable of holding up to 500lbs. The tray is 27-3/4" long x 24" wide and the securing strap has a maximum height of 22-3/4" tall. The carrier includes a lock for the generator but I recommend also getting a Receiver Lock # e98881 to secure the carrier in your receiver.
