New Alpine 3010RE - Sullins RV, Branson, MO

We traded our 07 Everest 344J for the new Alpine 3010RE from Sullins RV near Branson, Missouri, from whom we bought the Everest in 07. I was given use of their shop area and spent two hours inspecting our new coach several days before we picked it up, which was a tremendous help and I encourage anyone to do the same.

I am impressed with the improvement in workmanship between the two and noticed better attention to details such as strain relief and protecting contact points for branch electric circuit runs and fuel gas lines. The quality of seam completion and attention to detail throughout was also a welcome improvement.

Shakedown overnight trip was great and went through a rain storm with no leaks. Set up and take down was better and the six point leveling system should be considered by anyone looking at a new coach or considering an addition. The stability was remarkable.

Flooring support is much better throughout. The heat pump system worked great during the 29 degree night temps, and the reduction in noise is welcome. Furnace noise is less in comparison, as is noise from outside.

Sullins RV is fantastic to deal with and I recommend them above all others in the Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri area.

I'm very impressed with the 3010RE and highly recommend it. It towed behind my 2007 Duramax much better than the Everest, and it towed really well, and I can tell it will handle long trips easier and with less fatigue on equipment and operator.

We just picked up our 3010 yesterday and would love to get some feedback on how it travels....anchoring the recliners/dining chairs and carpet lift when dining slide is in. We also were very impressed with the design and features. Looking forward to hearing from other Alpine owners.

Koup, Welcome to the forum. I am fairly new around here as well. We made the mistake of going to the RV show last month and we (and my in-laws too) actually ordered a 3010.

While waiting for our 3010 to come in we went to the dealer to take some measurements on the 3010 they had in-stock. While there we were looking at other Alpines and wound up taking a 3600RS home. The in-laws are still waiting on their 3010 to come in. We love our Alpine. After years of leveling everything from a pop-up to a 5er, the 6-point level-up system is the bomb!

We have been out locally for a shake down camping trip. The only things we found wrong with our unit was; there was a tare in the bed spread (Keystone is shipping us a new one), one of the flood lights didn't work and the microwave stove-vent was missing the filter.

Great to hear. I just put a deposit down on a 2014 Alpine 3010RE. I will be going in Friday to do my initial PDI. Dealer is very willingly agreed to take as long as I want. Dealer has full hookups so we'll fill every tank, run every pump, flush every valve, and operate every system. Anything out of the ordinary you would recommend I check out. This my first 5er so I am learning as I go. Already spent about an hour on the inside just checking fit and finish.

Overall, everything looks good. One recliner was busted, they are replacing. All screws seemed tight, cabinets seemed square, latches all were operational, lights all worked. Only running on battery so I didn't get to do full check, AC, furnace, entertainment center, etc...

Just waiting on the slide toppers to arrive and be installed. Looking forward to getting it out on the road. All advice and tips are welcome.

EVMIII, I don't think you will be sorry. We have been out a second time in ours with no problems. Keystone sent us a new Bedspread and the dealer fixed the light bulb and replaced the MW filter.
My in-laws got theirs in. They had a cabinet door come off the cabinet frame. The screws were only about 1/4" long. FIL will be replacing those as needed. They also got the wrong couch. They ordered theirs with a air mattress and it came with the love seat double recliner. Nice love seat but they need another bed. Other that that all their mechanicals seem to working fine.
I lived in Biloxi back in 1980. I had the biggest driveway in the state. The house/cabin i rented was right next door to St.Michale's in my landlords back yard. So we would park in the church lot and hop the fence... Biloxi has changed just a little.... lol

We bought our 2016 Alpine 3600RL from Sullins RV. They were great to work with and have been there to help us through any questions or tweeks we have needed. Sullins RV had a grand opening at their new location just yesterday. Last summer they had a fire at their Branson location in which their building was a total loss. They have rebuilt and are now located in Harrison, Arkansas. Be sure to check them out if you are in the area.
