    I had a question about the slide operation, but that was answered earlier in this post, thank you!
    We are going back and forth between a 310GK-R and a 344GK-R, but the current position is to take advantage of the shorter length/slightly lighter weight of the 310.
    Thanks in advance!
    The only complaint about the 310GX is that it only has 2900# (catalog weights, beware!) of cargo carrying capacity. Because we have several options including the heavier double pane windows, ours is only 2284#. So we have to be very careful what we load. However, the glass-half-full way of looking at that is that assuming a pin weight of 20%, we have 2000# headroom on our suspension (15,000# GVW - 3,000# pin weight = 12,000# on the axles at max gross weight).

    While the extra CCC on the 334GK of 3600# (catalog) would be nice, by my calculations the axles are supporting 12,960, or only 1,040# below their 14,000# rating. With the history documented in this forum about spring, spring hanger, and bent axle problems, that's close enough for me to start to get nervous.

    FWIW... Good luck with your decision process, and let us know what you end up with!

    By the way, we can get into both sides of our fridge when closed, but the left door doesn't open fully.
