Nice looking trailer. I have looked at many brands and most fail in the following things I like.
1. lots of windows and bright.
2. a wardrobe, or place to hang a jacket near the door.
3, lots of storage space
4. a dinette on the door side so you are not looking at your neighbors when in a side-by-side camp site.
5. high quality fibreglass with non-grainy finish.
6. walk around bed.
7. power stabilizer jacks all-around.
Sorry maybe not what you were looking for but make your own list of "have-to-have" before going shopping as it is easy to get caught up in the hype of getting a new toy and finding out it just doesn't work well for you.
p.s. FWIW, my brother-in-law was looking at the Grand Design bumper pull and bought a Heritage Glen instead and paid $5000 less and said it was nicer.

I bought a toy hauler 5th a couple years back.. did a ton of research and ended up with a Tesla from Evergreen RV. The GD Momentum was the runner up. Very well built units. A couple of features and the weight difference was what made up my mind.

Main thing is I like the floor plan with opposing slides and a couch at the back wall
Lots of room and a kitchen island
And I sort of fit in the shower

My parents bought a 36’ Grand Design Fifth wheel last year and I have used it a few times. Really nice unit for sure. Fit and finish is very good and the floor plan makes it a real home away from home. Only complaint is the fresh water tank was pretty small for dry camping, seems to be more directed towards full service camping.

We love our momentum, it’s well built. 2 years now, had a loose fitting under sink back off and leak some water on floor. Is the only “problem “ we’ve had.
Well it’s not a bumper pull but a buddy is selling his house on wheels as we call it to buy a house without wheels after his divorce. It’s a nice unit for the dollars, he wants it gone. But it’s definitely in the 1 ton category if you are moving it much.

Must be that model, my momentum has 157 gallon fresh, I don’t think I’ve ever filled it...
It is a Solitude model and only has a 93 gallon fresh tank so you have to be pretty conservative with the water, definitely made more for extended stay type of situations with full hookups.
