We just picked up our new Alliance Paradigm 310RL. The PDI went great with just a few small issues. A bigger issue happened at home when I put the slide out for the first time. There was a construction screw up under the edge of the slide and it tore the flooring. I’ll be calling the dealer on Monday

Birchyboy, good looking coach. 3 AC's should keep you comfy.

WOW, time flies, haven't posted on here in a while, mostly just lurking. 2021 King Ranch and 2021 Cedar Creek 371FL. Took advantage of the market and sold the house in the pic. Purchased truck in February, I've wanted a King Ranch since i knew they existed, finally got one. Got the 5er two weeks ago. We're looking for land to buy but until then were going to rough it in this around Wyoming where I work. Just pulled from Knoxville, TN to Wright, WY last week. This 2021 is a beast compared to my 2014 Lariat. FYI, Anderson hitch was used and it did excellent. Also, the air ride 5th wheel hitch option is worth every penny.

Thanks. It should be helpful in the southwest heat.

I probably should have bought a diesel. I won’t win any races but my 6.2/4.30 combo will get us there. I may try a Five Star tuner sooner rather than later. Can

If you get the JT Strongarms (or something similar), be sure to put a dab of anti-seize on the threads. I recently had to chase the threads on one of mine. No idea what happened but the T-bolt sure wouldn't turn unless I used a lot of force.

I very much like my JT Strongarms. Gives the trailer a nice solid feel.

347RES model Open Range. RV is very stable even when I don't tighten the strong arms. Usually tighten them up on longer stays. Open Range is one of the few manufacturers that put them on at the factory.

Open Range is one of the better quality RVs.
They compete for the same market as the Solitude models and Montana High Country models.

Oh, I didn't know that, I look at your floor plan and wow I love that floor plan.

Great little RV park near Little Rock Arkansas.
