01 What makes it unique
The 376RD is the Solitude for gatherings. Its defining feature is a raised rear den — a rear living area elevated a step above the main kitchen — furnished with three sofas to seat a larger group, with rear-facing windows wrapping the lounge. The result is the most seating of any profiled plan, in a layout that keeps the cook in the kitchen and the company up in the den.
It carries the line’s standard build at a slightly heavier weight than the rear-kitchen plans. RVUSA lists a published 19,000-pound GVWR against a 15,180-pound dry weight, leaving a 3,820-pound payload and a 3,050-pound dry pin. Five slide-outs open the den, kitchen and bedroom; a kitchen island, an outside kitchen, a private front bedroom with a king bed and a single 30,000-BTU air conditioner, a 20-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator and 330-watt roof solar are standard.
At an MSRP of $159,571 it sits among the mid-to-upper plans. For a couple who entertains often and wants a dedicated rear lounge that seats a crowd — rather than a rear kitchen or a front living room — the three-sofa 376RD is the rear-den Solitude.

These graphics are generated from the same verified record that builds the table above, and are published under this site’s own licence — nothing here is traced from, or derived from, a manufacturer drawing or photo. Where a figure is not published for this plan, the graphic that would need it is omitted rather than estimated. The full record is in the published dataset.
What it takes to tow this
Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.
We do not publish tow ratings for specific trucks. A single model can vary by thousands of pounds depending on engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and package — the only authoritative figure is the one on your own door jamb. Loaded pin percentages are industry convention for fifth wheels (15–25% of loaded weight), not a measurement of this unit. Hitch classes are not used here as a rating: SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR and does not define Class V, and capacity boundaries differ between manufacturers — read the rating stamped on your hitch. On this plan the convention band’s low end fell below the published dry figure, so the range starts at the published dry weight instead — loaded is never lighter than dry.
03 The Solitude floorplan family
Solitude is Grand Design's flagship fifth wheel and one of the best-selling luxury extended-stay fifth wheels in North America. The line runs to ten floorplans for 2026; the eight highest-demand layouts are profiled here in full, and the remaining two are catalogued on the line hub. The 376RD on this page is highlighted; each other profiled plan links to its own page.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 310GK | 34 ft | 4 | Light rear-kitchen entry, sub-13k dry |
| 370DV | 38 ft | 4 | Rear living, central island + prep bar |
| 380FL | 41 ft | 6 | Front living, bath-and-a-half, 5 slides |
| 382WB | 41 ft | 6 | Separate front living room, 5 slides |
| 376RD | 42 ft | 6 | Raised rear den, three sofas |
| 390RK | 42 ft | 6 | Rear kitchen, outdoor kitchen, 5 slides |
| 391DL | 42 ft | 8 | Two full baths, dual entry, sleeps 8 |
| 388MBS | 43 ft | 5 | Middle bunkroom, family, lower profile |
| 417KB | 42 ft | 4 | Rear kitchen, bath-and-a-half, master |
| 414LJMJ | 43 ft | 6 | Triple-axle flagship, mid bunk + loft |
Solitude is Grand Design's flagship extended-stay fifth wheel and one of the best-selling luxury fifth wheels in North America. The full line runs to ten floorplans for 2026; eight are profiled here and two more are catalogued above. Every plan rides on the same drop-frame 101-inch widebody chassis with a MORryde pin box, 8,000-pound axles and a fully enclosed heated underbelly, and ships with a 330-watt roof solar package, a 20-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator and an on-demand water heater with whole-house filtration as standard. Body specifications (lengths, heights, payload, tanks, sleeping, slides and awnings) are RVUSA-verified against the 2026 structured spec records, each page fp-slug and title checked; dry weight, GVWR, payload and pin weight are published per plan, and each plan's dry weight plus payload equals its GVWR exactly. Real loaded pin weights run higher — always weigh the loaded coach and confirm against your truck's payload and rear-axle ratings.
04 What owners & reviewers report
Raised rear den
A rear living area stepped up above the kitchen, wrapped in windows — a dedicated lounge separated from the galley.
Three sofas
Seating for a crowd — the most seating of any profiled plan, built for entertaining and guests.
Outside kitchen + island
A kitchen island plus an exterior cooking station — a campsite-friendly galley below the raised den.
Mid-line weight
A 15,180-lb dry weight and 3,820-lb payload — heavier than the rear-kitchen plans; confirm a properly rated truck.
05 How it compares
The rear-kitchen plan — a raised galley instead of a raised den, lighter with a bigger payload.
The front-living plan — the lounge up front with a bath-and-a-half instead of a rear den.
Keystone’s rear-entertainment plan — the direct big-luxury-FW cross-shop.
06 Loading it for a trip
This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 81-gallon fresh tank is roughly 18% of the 3,820-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 376RD with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 3,820 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
| Fresh tank filled (81 gal × 8.34 lb) | −676 lb | Water is the heaviest thing most owners add, and it is added first. |
| Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank | 3,144 lb | 18% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded. |
| Per sleeping position, water aboard | 524 lb | A rough share of what is left across the 6 berths this plan sleeps. |
The published dry pin weight of 3,050 pounds is 20% of this floorplan’s 15,180-pound dry weight. Fifth-wheel pin weight rides in the bed of the truck, so it comes off payload rather than off tow rating — and it rises with the trailer as you load it, not in proportion to what you put over the axles.
Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 19,000-pound GVWR the 376RD is towing 3,820 pounds more than its 15,180-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.
Tank balance is generous here: 81 gallons of fresh against 106 grey and 53 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Ranked by GVWR, the 376RD sits 3 of 10 in the Solitude line: 19,000 pounds against a line that runs from 19,000 to 23,500 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.
Either side of it in the same line: Solitude 370DV matches it exactly at 19,000 lb GVWR; and Solitude 380FL matches it exactly at 19,000 lb GVWR.
8 other Solitude plans share this floorplan’s 19,000 lb GVWR, so the ranking above separates plans that tow to the same ceiling. On a shared chassis the figure that actually differs between them is cargo capacity and where the weight sits, not the rating.
| Comparable fifth wheels | GVWR (lb) | Dry (lb) | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 376RD | 19,000 | 15,180 | 6 | 42 ft 5 in |
| Influence 3804DS | 19,000 | 14,603 | 6 | 42 ft 6 in |
| Momentum 344M | 19,000 | 15,910 | 6 | 39 ft 11 in |
| Paradigm 385FL | 19,000 | 15,487 | 6 | 41 ft 4 in |
| Seismic 3512 | 18,995 | 14,285 | 7 | 41 ft 7 in |
| Riverstone 39RKFB | 18,975 | 16,511 | 4 | 42 ft 1 in |
| Bighorn 40DB | 18,850 | 16,110 | 8 | 43 ft 10 in |
Against the 376RD: the Momentum 344M is 2 ft shorter; the Paradigm 385FL is 1 ft shorter. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.
Those are the nearest fifth wheels from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.
For scale, the Solitude floorplans profiled here run 12,100 to 19,000 pounds dry and 34 to 43 feet of exterior length across 10 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.
Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Solitude line hub.
08 Common questions about the 376RD
How much does the 376RD weigh?
It leaves the factory at 15,180 pounds dry, and its manufacturer-set loaded ceiling (GVWR) is 19,000 pounds. Real towing weight lands between the two and depends entirely on what you load. Use the GVWR when matching a tow vehicle; the dry figure is only useful for comparing floorplans against each other.
How much can the 376RD carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 3,820 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring. Filling the 81-gallon fresh tank uses about 676 pounds of that.
What is the pin weight of the 376RD?
The published dry pin weight is 3,050 pounds. It is measured empty; loaded, it runs higher, and it comes out of your tow vehicle’s payload rather than its tow rating.
What size tow vehicle does the 376RD need?
Your vehicle needs a tow rating of at least 19,000 pounds — this floorplan’s GVWR — and enough payload left over for the hitch load, passengers and anything in the bed. This site does not publish tow ratings for specific vehicles, because one truck model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The figure that governs is the payload sticker on your own door jamb.
How many people does the 376RD sleep?
It is rated to sleep 6. Rated sleeping positions include convertible furniture, so count the beds against how you actually travel rather than against the number.
What are the tank capacities on the 376RD?
Fresh 81 gallons, grey 106 gallons, black 53 gallons. Tank sizes set how long the floorplan can sit away from hookups, and the smallest of the three is what ends the stay.
How long is the 376RD?
Exterior length is 42' 5". Measure against your site length and your storage before committing — the exterior figure is the one that has to fit, and it includes the tongue or pin box.
Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.
09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 18 of them for the 376RD. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.
Not published for this floorplan: tire size (a tire description is published, a size is not). If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.
The completeness figure at the foot of this page (98%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.
How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
11 NHTSA safety record
This floorplan belongs to the Solitude line, and NHTSA holds 15 recall campaigns and 135 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.
What to look at on a used one. Across the 135 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are structure (30%), unknown or other (19%) and service brakes (14%). That is where owners of this family have had trouble, so it is where an inspection is worth the time.
Recall coverage is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Solitude line page.
