    Replacement mattress for Paradigm 310rl

    Better measure your space to be sure, but no, a regular king did not used to fit. Not sure about the newest models though. We had a company make ours to our size specs. I think they use what is/was called a "California King", or something like that.

    Norcold N20DC

    If you can afford to do it, I would replace the "Nevercold" piece of junk with a real residential refrigerator. No more often than you move, I think you would enjoy the peace of mind. You can hook it into your inverter system and then forget about it. I do not recommend through-the-door ice or...

    New to us 2022 310RL Paradigm 5th Wheel.

    Yes. I would make sure everything is winterized before you leave out with it. Better safe than sorry.

    Alliance Paradigm 385FL delivery from Assembly Line after our walk thru where issues were promised they’d be fixed prior to delivery! That was a LIE!!

    We had 3 leaking jacks on our unit. Also, the shower door base plate/track was installed backwards. We took it back to the dealership and they kept telling us they were waiting on Alliance to approve the repairs. I called and talked to the VP over customer service. He asked for my last 6 on the...

    Alliance Paradigm 385FL delivery from Assembly Line after our walk thru where issues were promised they’d be fixed prior to delivery! That was a LIE!!

    I found Alliance to be more responsive than any other RV company I have dealt with. If you think another brand will be a better choice, then I say "Good Luck with that".

    Potential 2021 Paradigm 310rl purchase, looking for help on problem areas to check.

    We had a 2021 model 310RL. No major issues. However, you may want to be sure none of the hydraulic jacks leak. We had all 6 of our replaced within the first 2 years. Also, if you are getting the A/C refridgerator, make sure the rear top anchors are solidly attached to the wall of the trailer...

    Paradigm 310rl quality ?

    We had one of the early 310RL models. Ours was very well built and only had a couple of small issues. I would think this model, being one of their longest running lines, would by now be a very dependable, well built unit. Of course, you can/will have a few issues. It just goes with the...

    Water in left (road side) basement area....

    I had one of the fittings on a water line freeze and break on mine. It was anchored along the basement roof, and would drip a little. Took me a while to find that drip. Replaced the fitting and problem solved.

    It’s Happening: Avenue 32rls

    You can forget about any dealer fixing your issue on a timely basis. No matter if it is an Alliance or some other brand. I believe Alliance can, and will fix your problem right there at the factory. After you get it, see what you need, then call their customer service folks and make an...

    310RL Towing

    I did that, but not for long. Switched over to a diesel. POwer was good with that engine, even in the mountains. However, gas mileage was terrible. I think about 6MPG-9MPG as an average.

    Effectiveness of Paradigm 310RL triple air contioners

    We used our 310RL in Texas last summer for 3.5 weeks. It was around 110 every day except one, and the campground had NO trees for shade. I think it got to 113 a couple of those days. We ran all 3 A/C units and had them set for about 73. They did cycle on and off, but there was always one or two...

    Questions about new Paradigm.

    We had a 310. Yes, the big windows make it harder to cool when the temps get over 100 degrees. I bought a big roll of the silver foil/cardboard stuff at Camping World. Then, I cut pieces to fit inside all the south and west facing windows. It made a huge difference in the cooling. I only had to...

    General warranty repair question

    Can you imagine that???

    General warranty repair question

    I got approval generally the same day the request was sent in. Now there may be your problem. The dealer may have not sent in the request on a timely basis. If you want to check, you can take it to the dealer, then call Alliance warranty in about 1 or 2 days and see if they have any record of...

I have been paying St Farm about $967/yr for coverage on the Alliance 310RL. This is replacement coverage as well as coverage for the...
