01 What makes it unique
The 310RL puts the living space at the back: an ‘RL’ rear living area wraps the back wall in windows, with the kitchen and its walk-around island amidships and a king bedroom up front. Under 35 feet on three slide-outs, it is the second-shortest Paradigm yet still opens into a full rear great room. The equipment is the standard Paradigm package — a Lusso range with a 12,000-BTU burner and a 3.73-cubic-foot oven, a 19-cubic-foot 12-volt residential refrigerator, a king bed and a fireplace — on the Benchmark 101-inch wide-body drop-frame chassis with Curt 8,000-pound axles, self-adjusting brakes and six-point hydraulic leveling.
Alliance publishes a 16,000-pound GVWR against the 12,992-pound dry weight, leaving a 3,008-pound cargo capacity and a 2,530-pound dry pin. Three roof air conditioners totalling 40,500 BTU, a 40,000-BTU furnace, a 12-gallon gas/electric water heater, an enclosed and heated underbelly and 98/106/53-gallon fresh/grey/black tanks are standard. At a starting MSRP around $116,000, with street pricing below placard, the 310RL is the rear-living Paradigm for a couple who wants a windowed rear great room and an island kitchen in a shorter, more maneuverable luxury coach.

Towing it
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published dry figure, because loaded is never lighter than dry.
03 The Paradigm floorplan family
Paradigm is Alliance RV's luxury full-profile fifth wheel — the company's flagship since 2019 and a cross-shop against Grand Design's Solitude, Keystone's Montana and Jayco's Pinnacle. The 2026 line runs to ten floorplans; the six profiled in full are linked below and the four catalogued plans are shown muted. The 310RL on this page is highlighted.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 295MK | 33 ft | 4 | Mid kitchen, rear living, shortest in line |
| 310RL | 34 ft | 4 | Rear living great room, walk-around island |
| 312RK | 34 ft | 4 | Rear kitchen |
| 340RL | 37 ft | 4 | Rear living |
| 370FB | 40 ft | 4 | Front bath |
| 388SP | 40 ft | 4 | Side patio, new for 2026, flagship |
| 385FL | 41 ft | 6 | Front living, loft, sleeps six |
| 382RK | 41 ft | 6 | Rear kitchen, sleeps six |
| 375RD | 41 ft | 5 | Rear den, five slides (namesake plan) |
| 395DS | 42 ft | 7 | Sleeps 7 (largest catalogued) |
Paradigm has been Alliance RV's luxury full-profile fifth wheel and its flagship since the company's founding in 2019. The 2026 line runs to ten floorplans; the six broadest-appeal layouts are profiled here in full and the remaining four are catalogued from published specifications below. Every Paradigm rides the Benchmark 101-inch wide-body drop-frame chassis on Curt 8,000-pound axles with self-adjusting brakes, H-rated tires and a Helux coil-spring pin box, with six-point hydraulic leveling, an enclosed and heated underbelly, a walkable PVC roof, a 19-cubic-foot 12-volt residential refrigerator, three roof air conditioners totalling 40,500 BTU, a 40,000-BTU furnace, a 12-gallon gas/electric water heater and a Lusso range as standard; a MorRyde 8K independent suspension with disc brakes is available. Hitch weight, GVWR, dry weight and CCC are published per plan and each plan's dry weight plus CCC equals its GVWR exactly. Dry weight is a factory estimate; real loaded pin weights run higher — always weigh the loaded coach and confirm against your truck's payload and rear-axle ratings.
04 Notes on this floorplan
Rear living great room
An ‘RL’ rear lounge wraps the back wall in glass, with the island kitchen amidships and a king bedroom up front.
Under 35 feet
At 34 feet 11 inches it is the second-shortest Paradigm — a full rear great room in a maneuverable body.
Walk-around island kitchen
The amidships galley runs a walk-around island with the line-standard Lusso range and 19-cu-ft 12V refrigerator.
Wants a three-quarter-ton+ truck
A 16,000-pound-GVWR full-profile fifth wheel — confirm a properly rated three-quarter-ton or one-ton truck’s payload and rear axle.
05 How it compares
Grand Design’s luxury Solitude — the direct rear-living full-profile luxury-5W cross-shop.
Keystone’s rear-living Montana — a mainstream-luxury full-profile fifth wheel in the same tier.
The mid-kitchen 295MK — shorter still and the lightest pin in the Paradigm line.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 98-gallon fresh tank is about 817 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 27% of the 310RL’s 3,008 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,191 lb (548 lb per rated berth). Across 6 Paradigm floorplans the water share runs 23% to 27%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Paradigm 375RD at 25%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Paradigm 295MK, nearest on the published figures.
