Thanks much, Dave and Dave ! Looks like the newer builds are a little less heavy on the street side but not much. I imagine this weight imbalance with these triple slide floor plans are similar among manufacturers and this is not an anomaly with GDRV or something to be concerned about.

Another factor is the layout. Essentially all the mechanicals (fridge, stove, furnace, WH) are on the street side.

I was also told by LCI that the weight bias is the primary reason that the Correct Track system is installed on the camper to allow alignment adjustment if required.

On my 303, the left (heavy) side rides 1/2" lower than the right side.
The Correct Track adjusters are all set to the same nominal position, but the left side wheels are 1/4" further apart than on the right side. Thus, it would seem that all four wheels are not tracking parallel.
Would LCI allow for the known left/right weight imbalance at original build or is using the Correct Track system to align things something expected of every owner after purchase ?

Rob--I recall reading in our owners manual that the axles s/b aligned after loading the RV due to the added weight (mostly added on the street side as you/others have pointed out) and periodically checked. Ours is off about the same small measure as yours so I imagine some minor scrubbing of the rubber. I suspect this is the same story for a huge % of us here and other similar manufacturers floor plans as well. I plan to have ours checked/adjusted when we take it out of storage this spring after we load it back up.
