New owner of Solitude 310GK-R

[swmurray]

Hi:

Us:
We were long-time tent campers who have "aged" out of sleeping on the ground. After retiring we have become better birders and found a passion for volunteering at NWRs and other natural places. We bought the rig after trying out several sizes and styles of RVs while traveling and volunteering at sites. We felt this was an appropriate size for the two of us and not too big get into some places.

So we can "sort-of" do this - but we are definitely newbies!

Rig:
2020 Solitude 310GK-R with a build date of April 2019.
The rig appears "stock", but we had the dealer add a generator prep package. We found an issue with the propane furnace during our testing at the dealer (pantry floor got so hot it melted the end of a sweep broom's bristles) so it's awaiting parts. Due in the next week or two.

We are looking forward to "moving in" as it seems to fit our size need after trying both smaller and larger rigs. We love the amount of natural light.

Tow Vehicle:
2020 GMC 3500 DRW, with 8' bed. Added a 20K BW Companion hitch.
My payload estimates were on the bubble for SRW, so worried about stability on the road. This DRW showed up and DW liked the ride on the DRW better than the SRW! Now all WE need to do is get comfortable with turns and back-ins!

Forum:
I'm looking forward to all the help from experienced forum members as we learn about the rig and ways to help make it our "home". Please be kind - we are RV newbies! (also forum newbies, but DW know Facebook.)

Hopefully, as we gain experience, we can help others in the future.

Thanks!
