New to Alliance, 332RL On Order - Two questions for current owners....

[DaveZ]

Coming from a 2019 2970RL Grand Design (which in all honestly has been good). We had been talking upgrading, and after a trip to Hershey decided on Alliance. My questions - Understandably the 332RL is going to be a different towing experience - wider/heavier/longer. Is it a dramatic difference if your comfortable with trailers over 30 feet already (F250 tow vehicle)? More importantly - how large of a TV fits nicely in the bedroom... lol?
Thanks!

I have the Delta 321BH which is almost as long and heavy. I tow with an F350, so my truck is fine for towing it, but it is still a beast for a bumper pull. If I had to do it again, I probably would have gone with the 5th wheel bunk house with the same layout. I did switch to the Hensley Ultimate Arrow and it made a huge difference, mostly when there is wind. My previous RV was a 32' ultra-light under 7K lbs, I could pull it without WD hitch, the Delta is night and day difference.

Thanks for the feedback! My wife and I really wanted the 32RLS but even with over 3100# of payload capacity I ran out of any margin with that 5ver... and she was set on an E/W bedroom. My GD weighs in at #7800 with 1k# on the hitch - I've towed with and without WD with no issue. I use a Reese cam for sway. I never really had any sway issues in over 10k towed miles. With the 337 I have to move to a Blue Ox due to the heavy tounge weight.

What exact model is your f250? I ask because I tow a 32RLS with my 2024 F250 4wd crew 6.7L HO no problem and is all within specs as long as you don't load up the front with stuff like washer and dryer, etc. I use the Gen-Y hitch setup and would not use anything else as I am so happy with it's performance. I have the PUC system in the truck bed. I have towed over 6000 miles in the western US with mountain passes, etc.
