  • Solitude 310GK height from king pin plate to ground when RV is level on the ground?

    I just ordered a Solitude 310GK and am trying to determine if a Pullrite Superslide #2914 will need any adjusting to work. I have a 2018 Ford F-350 with the fifth wheel towing package (puck system). Truck bed floor is just under 39" from truck bed to ground and bed floor to top of bed sides is 21 1/2 inches. Just trying to make sure there will be no problems with the pullrite superslide working or whether I will need the hitch base foot kits to raise the hitch or have to adjust the pin box. Thanks.

    SteveH Welcome to the forum and the family! I have no clue what the answer is other than more than 48 and less than 60.

      I had MORryde add 2" to the height of my 2020 Solitude 310GK when they added their IS suspension system and it measures 50 1/4" so I'm guessing a factory stock Solitude 310GK with the stock 16" wheels would be around 48 1/4" to the king pin base plate shown by the red arrow below. Hopefully some people with factory suspension will jump in here with their measurements so we can see how consistent they are.

      BTW, I leveled my RV using the Auto Level system with the RV sitting on a concrete RV pad.

          Geez, right by a 1/4 or odd by 2..... I hate it when that happens.

            I have been looking at this for a while and decided to trade in my 2017 F250 for a 2021 F250. The 2017-2019 f250 and 350 bed height is 22 inches. The 2914 Superglide is 18.5 inches high. So that should leave 3.5 inches for your pin. In my case my pin on the 150 series 295rl is 11 inches from the hitch plate to the bottom of the trailer. So that should leave 7.5 inches of play above the bed rail . The problem was the truck is 60 inches high at the tailgate and my 295rl is 61 inches at the tailgate. Ford realized there was an issue with the truck heights and in 2019 lowered the rear blocks from 3.5 inches to 2". I would check the distance between the king pin and the bottom of the trailer overhang and also the height of the tailgate. (mine was 60 inches with 18 inch tires . yours is probable the same unless you have 17 inch tires its lower or 20 inch then way over.
