Smile New Rockwood 8310SS

Recently took delivery of a brand new 2013 Rockwood 8310SS. We were looking for something to put on our long-term site at Paradise Valley Resort in Dawsonville GA and we found this trailer practically next door. We just love the floorplan!

It's really too big for use to tow so the dealer delivered it and helped us get it set up. Now we're working on furnishing the trailer and making little improvements to the site.

We're keeping our 2014 Rockwood 2304 to use for travelling and the big trailer will probably not move at all (at least until the wife lets me buy a much bigger truck!).

One odd thing with ours... the outside RVQ grill came with a fully detached hose unlike the one on our 2304 which had a pull-out hose. The thing is the hose is not long enough to reach the grill! Won't matter to us because we will be using a stand alone grill. Just seems like a bone-head design.

Yea I know what u mean. I sold the RVQ, and had a hose made to hook our weber q 100 to the trailer. The only real complaint I've had is the trailer shakes terrible and I've tried every thing.

We love our 8310 and have has relatively few problems. We've notice how much it shakes to when walking around. Has anyone tried the JT strong arm stabilizers? I'm curious if those help.

I made my own stabilizers like the JT ones, but I think they only helped a little. The thing that seems to help the most is using scissor jacks. I got some and I started putting them under the trailer when I set up. So far I have 2 in the middle attached, and put 2 under the rear and will get 2 more for the front
