    Road Side Assistance Packages? Should I have one or Not

    I have always used Coachnet. Price seemed reasonable and they came out and replaced a ruined tire once, when I needed them. That tire repair, on a 100 degree + day, made it all worthwhile for me.

    2025 310RL New Owner

    We use the exact same one. Works great and no holes or tape on the walls.

    Licence Plate mounting Questions?

    My 310 had a lic. plate holder that was also cheap garbage and I was having the same problem. I took my wife's hair dryer, and heated up the plastic really good. This let me flex it without breaking it and I slipped a nut behind each side to secure the plate bolts

    First outing issues with cabinets

    Fixing it yourself is the best bet. Any warranty work, by most any dealer, can usually take 3 or 4 months. And, they are not going to fix anything else, just what you have pointed out. Replace one screw, yes. Replace screws in all other drawers, not a chance.

    Shoe garage grill closure thingy and another secret stash?

    They sell decorative, thin metal plates that only require minor trimming to fit that under-step area. These are available at Hobby Lobby. Trim it to fit, glue a piece of window screen to the back of it, and then screw it in place under the step. Problem solved, and you will not block airflow to...

    Taking a Toll

    You have no problem at all since it is from Texas. Go online and find the form VTR-346. It is a notice to the state that you have sold a vehicle, car, trailer, etc. Fill it out and return that form. On it you need to show the approximate date of sale, and who you sold/traded it to . Once they...

    Warranty concerns

    Exactly what happened to me when we bought our 310. Funny how quickly it got fixed after we talked directly with Alliance.

    Service

    I am sure the quality of service has to do a lot with the local management. A lot of "Blue Circle" dealers are reported to be horrible in the area of service. So far, one of our local RV dealerships, which was bought out by Blue Circle and sells Alliance, still seems to offer pretty good...

    Western South Dakota / Mount Rushmore / Crazy Horse

    When in South Dakota, you should stop over at the Rafter J Ranch, RV park, near Hill City. This is a wonderful RV park and very centrally located, so daytrips to everything in the area is possible. We have been up there 3 times over the years, and stayed there about a week, each time. I highly...

    Turning Impingement for 310RL and non-sliding hitch in chevy 3500 standard bed

    I will say "yes" it will hit with a nonslider. I was pulling my 310 with a 2500 GMC, "short bed" , fitted with the Companion, nonslider hitch. My GMC was a 2020 model. I did have back of cab contact with the trailer nose every time I tried to get my rig into our driveway. I traded the truck for...

    Paradigm 340 RL Stranded in New Mexico

    I don't think there is anything wrong with your slide. Looks about normal to me. I would say the "bang", came from you topper falling apart.

    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...
