You both deserve the best because you both bring such a fresh and wonderful outlook to rving.

Let the reflection season begin! GO! Thank you for sharing your experience so everyone can learn. I look forward to the new season with you guys!🥰

You guys make great content. So glad this situation worked out. Best of luck in the future!

I wish you the best on this new step in to your new future. Anxious to see you moving forward in Season 2.

You two are hysterical, love it! Time for a fresh start, and continue to enjoy your journey!🔆🐾

So glad everything is set with the Reflection other than all the mods. Now you can just enjoy it!

Hi Larry and Alice! So glad you are able to travel once again with a new fifth wheel. It doesn’t matter to me what brand name as long as you are happy that’s all that matters. That damage to the Solitude was bad. Glad you got a new Rv. I remember your slide out issues that was the very first video I saw of yours. It was a while ago. Can’t believe they are auctioning the Solitude off. How and why? Maybe it’s the parts or something. Time will tell. But I’m so happy that you have this new one the Reflection. Hopefully Larry will video all Solar he’ll put up. And all that good stuff. I remember the steps he fixed as well on the Solitude. He did a lot. It’s so good too see Larry doing really good and you both traveling again. Love you both. I’ll be excited to see anything you put out there. Have a great week and see you soon! I still need to go back and sone videos I missed. I’ll do that soon! Travel safe. Love you! ❤🤗🥰😘❤️💕❣️

What perseverance!! Wow! #So~awesome!!

Cool video. Waiting for Reflection session to begin. As a non RV owner and a person with very limited knowledge about RV's I like the method you use to keep your weight within specs. From watching some other RV channels some RV's seem to be so full inside with many items that the owner added. I am beginning to think some of the causes of frame break/split is because some owners do not follow the max weight allowed to be added to a RV and just keep on adding things into their RV which results in an overloaded RV. This causes so many problems to the frame and inside components that were factory fitted. Safe travels in your new RV. Cheers from Durban, South Africa 🙏👏🏄‍♂️🌊🚐

good to see it worked out - Door Country wisconsin awesome place to camp

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I am so glad you’re in your new rig and ready to start adventuring again! I can’t wait to see your mods and where you go this summer! 🎉

You guys are blessed. It’s so cool that you were able to take your mods with you and save on the cost of replacing them. I’m with Alice on opting out of putting those Sumo springs on the new rig. It’s hard to deny that they had an effect on your old frame. I recently released a video tour of a Brinkley where I showed the Brinkley installed Sumo springs placement on that rig. I tagged you in it and showed your experience with that product. You had a staring role🎬. The more I think about the Sumo springs, the more convinced I am that they had a considerable contribution to the demise of your last rig. Good luck with your new home and safe travels to you both. Onward and upwards!👍🏼😎

Excited to see this new season in your new home & to see all the mods y’all do!!!🤗

Barndo with a camper dock capability is pretty cool. I was at a friend's lake house and his neighbor had such a place. The barndo was split level and the upper level was the height of RV. The deck to RV had an aluminum ramp the guy sourced from a warehouse supply, they are used to bridge loading dock to trailer floor. He had a roll out awning on the barndo that was over the RV. It would certainly be possible to excavate next to barndo and have a lowered drive to put the RV down to grade if the lot would support drainage.

Glad you two are getting back on the road. Looking forward to your trips.

You two are so fun. Thanks for sharing.

Awww I’m going to miss the drama lol. Of course wishing you a summer of safe travel. Cheers to ya’s

Thanks for the update, safe travels, see you on the road someday.

Well, we're done traveling for now, until later in the summer. Miss the rig already, but it's good to be home. I think the wife was spot on about keeping the house. Even if it was to avoid what you guys had to go through. Enjoy your travels, and no drinking and droning!

It's so sad so many people are getting shred with grand design that's why when people keep buying grand design everybody else suffers that's why I would never by one again

Nice to see you back in action.

Great info ❤❤❤

Good follow up with the GD Solitude disaster ! lol Try to adhere to the CCC with your new rig . 😬Love Alafia SP ! Riding my mountain bicycle! Downsizing with the drama ! lol Thanks Larry and Alice ! 👍

You go guys, thanks for sharing, have a wonderful safe travel season. ❤️🌻

You needed to have taken it to a welding shop . Weld crack and reinforce with 1/4” rectangular box tube between the beam flanges .

I am going to use your sewer rack plan foe my rig...I think it will be great 👍

The 303 was the one I chose originally. The finance manager decided to insult me so I thankfully ended up with my KZ... After watching most of season one I'm debating on season two... Thanks DMC

Another great video! Looking forward to hearing more about the drastic downsizing!

'hot for cougars' Gosh I love you guys!

Aw! Thank you Alice about the Star next yo my name. It’s ok! Just put a star at the end of you comments and it’s ok by me. I love you guys! Been watching you since the beginning. And love every minute of it. Glad you bought an Rv from good people who are honest like Matt and the sales girl at General Rv. Can’t wait until next video. Loved that ladder. The step ladder. Thank you for all you do.

Lol..life is about living & both of you have the right sense of humor to get thru ...Larry & I hale from the same area in Ontario, so I think that's why I can relate to him All that aside , keep sharing your experiences with the followers, you don't know what ya don't know till someone teaches ya. Western Canada is pretty cool, just sayin...Alberta & BC baby 🇨🇦‼️‼️

Have you considered swapping out the RV suspension? It might be less expensive than losing weight, and it will give your trailer a much smoother ride and possibly more carrying capacity. Then you won't need those sumo springs either! Millers in Motion did a great interview with MORyde, at the Tampa RV show, where they discuss the suspension options. That suspension is definitely on my list of future upgrades. Good luck to you! Looking forward to season 2!

Travel idea, up the coast of California and up to Washington maybe a Ferry to Alaska. Or go to some awesome lakes, hot springs and waterfalls around the country.

Better let Alice drive this one Larry! 🤣 PS- omg up to 4 years to move over all your stuff to new RV!!?? 😱 I definitely would have taken my sweet time 😆

safe travels we have started oalong ur travel season now in South Carolina and heading north then we will be heading along the border of Canada in the norther states enjoy your new rig

If you ever get down near Bradington Florida. We’ve got a quarter mile long driveway. You can always find a nice parking space at our place. Be safe have fun.

No don’t put them on that new rv, the sumo spring may have started the problem but for the frame to crack weak steel is the culprit. Great video guy’s.

Here's hoping the new rig proves to be everything you hoped it would. 🤞

Nice updates. Let’s get this trip started. 😎

We are going thru the same process as you. We went in a ditch 2 years ago and have a bent frame. Waiting for Progressive to decide if they are going to fix it or total it. My husband thinks that your Solitude fell off the tow truck and broke the jack. It wasn't exactly secure on his truck.

I think you picked a perfect floor plan 😊 good luck ✌🏿 🏕

I see from your travel map that you have missed our neck of the woods. We live up on "the Bayfield Peninsula" in far northern WI. It is a beautiful part of WI on Lake Superior. There are quite a few wonderful county RV parks in the area, we would love to meet up with you, so come visit this summer during your 2024 travels.

We have a Boondockers Welcome spot if your in the Fenelon Falls, Ontario area. Your more than welcome!!

Thanks for the information.

How is alafia state park? It’s only 20 minutes from my house and would make a nice quick get away. Looking forward to more videos and more adventures!

so was the incident when you caught the back on the road boon docking was the incident that the insurance used as the claim..typically they dont deal with frame damage unless its an accident.

You guys are awesome!

It makes so much cents to stay away from the extra wide, extra long, and extra heavy rigs. We have ruled out many that we like due any one of those "extras". So I guess we will never know if the Sumos contributed to the failure or not...

Good luck on 2024! Side note, did you look at the GD 337RLS?

Why would you put Sumo springs on a trailer unless you are overloading it or trying to compensate for worn springs.

So, having the Sumos while experiencing the ditch drive was the lethal tag-team, huh? Or should people consider that Sumo’s could do this during normal crappy road excursions, too?

If that former RV is still up for auction, you could register for a fee with the auctioner and follow the bidding and sell online. But then, I side with Alice on this and say: let bygones be bygones! Regards to both of you !

Well at least the old rig made it to the salvage yard without falling off the tow truck. Don

I want to put these springs on my solitude so I would like to know more of how this happened to you. It looks like you drove off something putting an over excessive amount of weight in the wrong spot.

Were both the pinbox and 5th wheel hitch just hard steel…or did either have any buffer (air bag, torsion system, etc)?

At least you guys did not get bought out butttt I would have never bought another gd hope it works with no frame flex

Out of curiousity I looked up your old Solitude. Auto Auctions says it is rebuildable? Interesting. (As of April 28)

Nice, yes my memory is WAY bad. Larry, you the MAN. HEHEHE Yes Larry, I wouldn’t have told my wife either.

I was wondering if your old 5ther made it with the way the tow guy had it (hooked) up.

Any chance I can ask you to tell us or point to a link where you e talked about how old you were when you first started full time in the Solitude? I’m turning 60 and this is my dream..I’m antsy to go NOW but it’s still a couple years in our future.

The Reflection Has the same Problems sorry to say.

You think that the frame was damaged because of missing the covert when you were going boondocking?

What are you asking for your sumo springs?

Or gust no more damage good luuck

Told ya. They’ll resell that thing and don’t give a rats behind about who buys it. No one checks up on this stuff.Happens everyday. But you two old folks are cute. And Larry keep it between the ditches,not in em🤣 oh nice truck,I have an ‘08 deleted and tuned,none of that def crap

Did your insurance rates go up?

Do you have Dexter or Lippert axles. If you have Dexter D52 axles you can replace the leaf springs to PR5 and now you have D60 axles 1,600 more pounds of capacity.

Frame failure do too frame over flex 👊👍😎

Which bike rack are you using?

Everything I’m seeing on yountube the “frame flex” or “frame failure” issue is up in the front of the frame..nothing like what happened to your rig.

What was the stopper on the KZ ?

So someone will buy your old solitude believing that there is some damage on the left side when in fact the frame is damaged. OMG

Too bad here in Florida we are not allowed to live in our RV's unless you are in a Campground.

how are you hanging the trash can?

Wait till your insurance renewal comes that itself will be a mortgage.

Not sure why sumo woukd refund you; you bottomed out on the sumo pushing it beyond its specs

As a former tow truck driver I didn’t see any thing to get excited about looked simple to me it’s not your camper anymore chill out

Definitely don't do a mobile home - it's expensive to move if that becomes necessary. You are better off in an RV.

People buy them for permanent placement

Isn’t the park you stayed at for 6 months only 21 day max stay? lol

Good video grand design has a bad reputation for not wanting to fix the frame damage and bad quality another channel paving new paths had to sell it for what they owed on rv grand design would not fix it they we're second owner thee year's old and right now all manufacturers are in trouble bad quality so you have to buy better rv new horizon is hand built only 20 a year but it costs more we also might be going into recession 🤔 safe travels

Does Larry have a remote job or is it just retired money that keeps y’all going

Brinkley is better the Grand Shitsign.

Don’t say Lippert

seems to me yall did that should be a ins Job. Remember Swing wide LOL.... Look at the shackles looks like it was made and welded in a back yard shop My Jayco has manfu parts like a Semi trailer a Big Difference from this Kinda Junk..

@DownsizingMakesCents ONLY Dealers can buy from Insurance Auto Auctions (IAA).

I tuned out right after you guys said that you kept traveling after you knew you had a severely damaged frame. That puts everyone around you on the road in danger.
