Solitude electronics

Totally agree with Chunker about the more complex touchscreen electronics. My wife and I had a 2019 (non GD) 5th wheel that had the Lippert touch screen for the auto level system. Had to be reset twice during two different excursions. While at Grizzly RV in West Yellowstone this past September the unit did not "wake up". Went to reset and it still would not "wake up". Finally in desperation I unscrewed the unit from the wall and disconnected wiring and reconnected, only then did it wake up. This was one of many reasons we traded the unit for our Grand Design after a year of ownership. I'll take a manual switch any day.

I did an online search of the Compass Connect and it brought up the Compass Connect for Grand Design. 3 reviews on the Lippert site, 2 -1 stars and 1- 3 stars and that's out of 5 possible. Now mind you, that's on Lippert's site for the CC. Failing to connect a common problem. If this its what GD is installing I will seriously reconsider ordering the 310GK until they get the bugs worked out. This is exactly my complaint with this. Run out some high tech glitzy unproven crap and make the owners the "test pilots". No thanks.
