Does anyone have a problem with water standing in kitchen sink? Grand Design says this is a design problem with no real fix. They say even with no seal in strainer it will still be too high.

I have edited your post title to be more specific (looking for input from other owners)

Well Rob we had our unit at the selling dealer for 7 weeks for warrenty work. While there they fixed some minor issues, but didn't get around to ordering the needed parts to finish the job. Finally got disgusted and brought it home to have a non Grand Design dealer finish our work. the selling dealer said that even if there was no gasket in the strainer it would not be low enough for the water to finish draining out. The factory says it is a design flaw and that's as far as it went.

We have a 2020 310GK-R, we do not have this problem. We have have very few things go wrong with our unit. It is very well built, we are extended stay in our unit for over a year. Basically the only complaint we have is the furniture. It is just holding up like it should the price we paid for it. Wish they would rethink the sofa and theater seats and put better stuff.2020 Solitude 310GK-R (Gypsy) vin #573FS3622L9905461. 2017 Ram 3500 6.7 Cummins diesel DRW 6 speed auto, 3:42 gears ( Big Red )

I wonder if someone used the wrong drain basket, put gasket on wrong side, or if its not tight enough. Have you tried removing the drain basket and using plumbers putty instead?Joseph

If the rubber gasket is on top it is installed wrong. Top gasket should be plumbers putty and the rubber gasket goes below. As the nut is tightened the strainer should pull into the sink depression and plumbers putty will squeeze out. That is assuming the strainer flange matches the sink depression. Then this connection should be checked a few more time as during use things will compress more.
Hope this helps

We have the same issue. Drain sits too high, leaving a ring of water after draining. Also catches small food particles, small seeds. Looks like the drain is on top of a gasket. Just figured that’s the way it’s made. Just an annoyance, but wish it had been done correctly.Doug & Barb
