    National Parks

    Can a Solitude 310gk fit into National Park campgrounds? We are shopping for a Solitude and have not gotten considering answers to this question.

    There's no stock answer to this. Different parks/campgrounds have different max length requirements. I will say, at 35' it will probably not be allowed in most parks, as generally it's 30' max in most parks. We just barely made it into our campground in Yellowstone with our 30' Reflection.

    30 feet seems to be the magic length to many state campgrounds also. Some have been known to pull out the tape measure at busy/ congested times.
    I recently was trying to get a reservation online for a SUN resort. I checked the box that said I have slide-outs....no space available, unchecked the box and I was able to get a space.

    Realize a 310 GK is not 35 feet long, it is closer to 37' from the FRONT cap. GD measures from the pin to the bumper.

    As mentioned 30' or less will get you into more NP CG's, but there are NP CG's that can handle 35'. Unless your travel plans completely center around NP visits, I would get the 5th wheel that best fits your needs, because you can usually get into RV parks near NP's.

    I’ll also mention many state campgrounds are length limited and 30’ is the magical number. GD sells a couple 29.x’ Imagines and a couple 29.x’ Reflection 150’s that fit the bill nicely. We just spent 8 days in National Parks and Forests and we were one of the biggest models in both parks.
