New Member with Solitude 310GK
Hi, from the central coast of California.
We ordered an new Solitude 310GK about 3 weeks ago. We are looking at retiring and want a larger rig for multi-month trips. DW can't go up into the Cab-over with her bad knees any more.
Our current rig is a 2013 Lance 850 on top of a 2013 RAM 3500 Dually, which we love and are not giving up. This rig we have used for 6 years, its been to the east coast and Alaska a few times with great success.
Quick question for fellow 310GK owners, what is the spacing between the tires?
Thanks in Advance
Happy Camping !!!

Indirect (rough) measurement gives about 5-5/8". Probably a little less in the center (narrowest part) due to crown of the tire.
My axles are 36-3/8" center-to-center and the mounted tires (per spec sheet) are 30.7" diameter. The 5-5/8" is the difference which should be the spacing between the tires.

HI, Thanks for the information. We also got word that the unit is built and should be ready to pick up in 10 to 14 days. Looking forward to our maiden trip, something simple unlike out maiden trip in the new Lance/RAM where we went to Alaska for 6 weeks.
Happy Camping !!!

DW asked how many of you feed your Dogs (large) from the feeding drawer in the kitchen? Let alone two

As noted on the GDRV website and marketing materials since inception a few years ago, these are "pet dish storage drawers".......not feeding areas.

Hi,
I should have been more clear on location, we are in the Monterey area of the central coast and with my commute north we purchased from Happy Daze in Gilroy. We feel we got a very good deal and we got exactly what we wanted. As you know with a Grand Design it is very easy. We got everything except King bed, Body Paint, Gen Prep , outdoor kitchen and slide out covers. The biggest items on the DW list was linen color and winterization.
Thanks for the reply's
