Our first GD 303RLS purchased new and recieved May 2015, had about 25k on it, cross country eastern area a couple times, northern area and west coast as well, trading for a 2019 337RLS in Sep of 19.
This one, the 337 has abour 24K on it. I just started tracking in my calendar better but it's all pretty close.
I also track for maintenance reasons. Brakes are checked and adjusted at least twice per year, before long trips, tires everytrip, other items checked before and during every trip.
Wierd how someone stated that these are not made to tow, or other post where they say not to trael with water. We do and go and enjoy all it has to offer, Home away from Home !!!Jeff & Karen

OK, I'll jump in. 2015 379fl with about 31,000 miles according to truck mileage indication. We live in the Pacific Northwest and largely restrict our travel to the western states and especially the Pacific coast. sometimes we might move only 80 - 100 miles to the next town/beach. This was a very early build from GD and has been largely trouble free once I fixed a wiring problem with the Schwintek slide motors. Safe Travels.

About 7000 on ours over the last 5 years. We do about 7-9 trips a season for about 1374 miles per year. I do track on an excel spreadsheet for various reasons

I also keep track of the approximate mileage that we tow our 337RLS. It's a used 2022 that we purchased in August of 2023. While we cannot say for sure how many miles the previous owners put on it, it was very lightly used. Since August 2023 we have towed it ~4,212 miles.

My guesstimate on ours is around 80,000 by keeping a mental track of tire purchases.

We have had our 303 since June 2018 and have a good estimate of roughly 60,000 miles in over 5 years. We have had many great trips from OH to PA, NC, MT, FL, TX and AZ. In that time (not including my upgrades):
It went back to GD for:
Trim falling off
Faulty motion light bathroom
Fireplace replacement
Slides tearing floors
Cracking on the plastic tubs both sides of pass through
Microwave backing recall
Underbelly wiring recall
Broken spring hanger on the road.
Lippert approved the road repair under warrranty and
Then it went back to Lippert:
Reinforced spring hangers/cross brace
No charge upgraded the equalizer, wet bolts and HD shackles
Replaced tires with Goodyear Endurance
Rebuilt the back couch side cabinet when the floor inside broke
Replaced rusting fold out steps side plates with 304 stainless plates/screws
Broken leaf spring, replaced all from 2,600 lb. to 3,000 lb. springs
Smoked a wheel bearing
Replaced Axle
Fixed the recliner pull cable
Tightened all screws inside the recliners
Neither seat heater works and the plastic is pealing
Replace leaking black tank vent break
Fixed leaking shower plumbing
Kitchen slide failed. Reconnected motor wire and tightened motor mounting bolts
The miles and time lived in our rig have taken their toll. However, we still like this rig and have many, many fond memories and experiences.Last edited by Scramjet; 03-12-2024 at 06:12 PM.

I'm willing to believe they are not designed to go 100k miles. You have to do a lot of maintenance and repairs to make it that far and the RV manufacturers know that the vast majority don't go that far with them. People on this forum for the most part are not your typical RV owner. EVERYONE I know in the area with a trailer camps within a one hour drive of here. They all think we are strange for going 1000's of km every year.
Now a vehicle that is actually designed to go 100k+? A few oil changes and a set of tires and you get 100k no issue.2018 Dodge 3500 6.7 Cummins SRW w/Aisin

We have about 40000 on our 2021 320 MKS. Got it in the fall of ‘20 and hit the road before winter. Have done a few upgrades, I/S, 1050 watts solar. Victron components for solar and power, and Battleborn batteries (4)
We log when we depart and arrive on each travel day. Only significant issues, refrigerator out (replaced control board), Swintek slide had to have new mechanism. Both were covered under extended warranty. Have only had one tire blow out (knock on wood). So replaced all four.
So the regular maintenance and she travels well.Last edited by 50ST8R; 03-12-2024 at 04:47 PM. Reason: Incomplete
