That was the question of the day for us. We also were trying to decide between the 2930RL & the 310GK but after doing some calculations with possible pin weight and the cargo carrying capacity of our 2019 F-350 SRW, the 310 was beyond our capacity. That was a shocker.

Thank you for sharing... I was recently told by a person who works the summer months in Yellowstone, that the rangers look at the model number to determine length. He told me that a 2930 would be considered a 29 foot rig as the box is 29 feet and the 310 would be a 31 foot rig. Last weekend we went to the local dealer who sells Grand Designs and the sales rep stated the same information. I thought it was as you shared. So confusing to hear mixed messages!

We figured we had better see which 5th wheels we liked and take those requirements into consideration with purchasing the new truck.
Have fun shopping,

StacyQ, you have good taste, and those are the two models we would choose. Like others, we have had 303 since 2014. We originally said let’s do this for 5 years, then do something else. Well this is a Season 6 and the only thing I’m stalling my wife for is having to buy a new truck, and all the upgrades I would add to a new RV. If you haven’t done it, go to YouTube and type in 2930 or 310gk, and look for a video walk through by Woodys RV. This guy is passionate about GD and does a good job. Good Luck!

Hi Al,
Not to derail this thread too much but when I was looking at the Solitude line 16,800 GVWR was the limit so I bought a truck with 18,500 towing capacity. A Momentum 397 has a GVWR of 20,000 So I need to replace the front and back gears to 4:10's or upgrade the transmission. Either will get me over 20K towing.
Regards,
Kevin
