01 What makes it unique
The 382RK is the cook’s Paradigm: an ‘RK’ residential kitchen spread across the back wall of the coach, with the line-standard Lusso range and its 12,000-BTU burner and 3.73-cubic-foot oven, a 19-cubic-foot 12-volt residential refrigerator and abundant counter space, ahead of a mid living area and a front king suite. It opens on four slide-outs and sleeps six — the highest sleeping count in the profiled group with the 385FL. It rides the Benchmark 101-inch wide-body drop-frame chassis on Curt 8,000-pound axles with self-adjusting brakes, six-point hydraulic leveling and an enclosed, heated underbelly.
Alliance publishes an 18,000-pound GVWR against the 14,577-pound dry weight, leaving a 3,423-pound cargo capacity and a 2,951-pound dry pin. Three roof air conditioners totalling 40,500 BTU, a 40,000-BTU furnace, a 12-gallon gas/electric water heater, a walkable PVC roof and 98/106/106-gallon fresh/grey/black tanks are standard. At a starting MSRP around $131,000, with street pricing below placard, the 382RK is the rear-kitchen Paradigm for a family or a couple who cooks and wants a residential rear galley in a luxury full-profile coach, towed with a one-ton truck.

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 382RK 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
Residential rear kitchen
A full galley across the back wall with the line-standard Lusso range, a 19-cu-ft 12V fridge and abundant counter space.
Sleeps six
The highest sleeping count in the profiled group with the 385FL — a front king suite plus convertible living space.
Four slide-outs
Opens on four slides for a wide main level around the rear galley and mid living area.
Wants a one-ton truck
At 41 feet 6 inches on an 18,000-pound GVWR, confirm a properly rated one-ton truck’s payload and rear-axle rating.
05 How it compares
Grand Design’s luxury rear-kitchen Solitude — the direct residential-galley cross-shop.
Keystone’s luxury Montana — a full-profile fifth wheel in the same tier.
The front-living 385FL — heavier, five slides and a front great room instead of a rear kitchen.
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), 24% of the 382RK’s 3,423 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,606 lb (434 lb per rated berth). Across 6 Paradigm floorplans the water share runs 23% to 27%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Paradigm 295MK at 24% and 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 385FL, nearest on the published figures.

They match on sleeps, fresh tank and grey tank.
