Under the oven is a warming drawer. It keeps your cooked food warm. Or it can be storage.

[@helenettlin7152]

We have this unit in the 2021 version. We were comparing Montana 377 FL but the quality of this was so much better. The sofa and office loveseat have a bar in the middle that will be very uncomfortable without a foam over it. The sofa is quite comfy for a nap. As far as insulation, we are living in it in Missouri this winter and are quite comfortable. It has an electric heat pump that works beautifully down to about 40F then we switch to propane. The water heater is propane or electric or both. The oven easily holds a 9x13 cake pan. Apparently there is a drawer in the 2022 that was not there in the 2021. The microwave is convection. The drawers in the island are large while the ones in the China cabinet are smaller. In the office, there is no room for a fixed ladder when the loveseat is open to a bed. Shower door is backwards compared to ours (should open from other side). The mattress is crap. The master closet is completely different this year (our w/d is on the right).

[@mylesrv]

Thanks for all the info!

[@spiderthenimble]

I really like this one - a lot. The mid-bunk room could very easily be turned into an office if needed as well, without any mods required. Plenty of storage everywhere and I don't even mind that these drawers and doors aren't soft closing. Another great review Myles.

[@mylesrv]

Thanks for watching!

[@carolbrockmeier3679]

Thank you for pointing out both the positive and negative things and why you feel they are negative.

[@mylesrv]

Of course! Have to put honest reviews out there.

[@Erin-Thor]

That underbelly lighting is also good at keeping critters like mice out. 👍🏼

[@joannedavis5214]

That drawer under the oven is for storage, not draining 👍🏻

[@56music64]

Love that bed chair, I have never seen that anywhere else previously

[@teacherturnedhomesteader7368]

I just like the floor plan of Solitude more of a home-like feeling and defined separated spaces and luv luv luv the fireplace and frost red pantry in kitchen.

[@nehickey79]

That's a warming tray on the oven. It'll keep your food warm and ready to serve.

[@mgf723]

Great job Myles. Your previews have gotten very good. I'm now a subscriber, and who knows maybe a Keystone customer of yours. Thank you for the good work.

[@justinwutzke612]

The drawer under an oven is normally a warming drawer, but that one didn't look like you could fit much in it.

[@mylesrv]

That makes sense

[@helenettlin7152]

Ours doesn’t have a drawer because it is a full size real oven. There is only a access panel for repairs.

[@jenniferbartlett8464]

On the pull out bench in bedroom under the bed,I believe it opens up for extra storage..

[@mylesrv]

If that’s true, I missed that!

[@joannperez6406]

Oh wow I love this one I would love a chance to speak with you in the future

[@rhondaserges5136]

Nice .. you can just leave the kids in the bunk room .. put food in the go through cupboard. Only see them when they hit the head. Lol

[@khairullaminkewanganhtm6523]

The drawer under the oven use to warm up Food left over while the oven is Cooking. Also can use as storage.

[@mylesrv]

Thanks for sharing!

[@rubybirkinshaw6370]

Love your videos I am going to try to come to Dallas and see you.

[@alfrdup]

I would take that bumk room and get rid of the sofa and bunk to make an office/craft sewing room.

[@adamspencer6666]

I like that they are starting to do some sort of backup light on trailers! Never understood why they don’t have a reverse light

[@Ann-qr6ok]

Appreciate your videos but next time make sure your battery is charged up. Like your honesty about subfloor not being wrapped & no soft close drawers. Something most videos don't discuss is ability to have dishwasher under sink. They come in a wide variety of sizes now so would be good to know what size fits in certain models.

[@mylesrv]

Thanks for watching. I’m not sure what you mean by making sure my battery is charged up though. The camera never died on me and was fully charged.

[@riverratrvr9225]

Super rig, and what a great tour! Thank you 😄. PS...I couldn't determine if the windows that opened had screens on the to prevent bugs from coming inside?

[@AnnieTyme]

underneath thenstove functions as either a warming drawer example u make panxakes wanna keep them warm while bacon n eggs are cooking pan storage

[@dankeller399]

I love that unit. How serious is it not having wrapped flooring on the slide outs? How much water would have to get underneath to cause damage? You do a fantastic job on your videos.

[@mylesrv]

I don’t know to be completely honest. It should be a marine grade flooring under there, and the vinyl flooring over the slide will be water resistant as well. I haven’t heard of water issues, but it’s just something to notice knowing that keystone wraps their flooring in the slide out.

[@elizabethragsdale7789]

thank you for saying the CC weight

[@warrengore6667]

Actually, the drawer below the oven is a “warming drawer”. After something is finished cooking, it can be placed in this drawer, and it will stay warm without further cooking. Few people use it for this, but “technically”, that is its function.

[@lionessontherise2403]

this part!! Most dont know

[@josie5670]

Oh I always thought a warming drawer was for warming plates 😂

[@mlpencola]

I'm curious, do people use these upgraded RVs specifically for camping? They seem a little excessive. At that point why not go to a hotel, resort or even rent a house? Just curious... I've never been in an RV, especially like this that's like a mini-hiuse. Thanks!

[@mel9122]

I know more and more people are RV’ing full time! That’s what we plan on doing :)

[@gardeningwithdiane]

With all the Covid problems/protocols, I would just be better in my own space.

[@mlpencola]

@@gardeningwithdiane That's a great point! I've never been in an RV, so I was trying to understand it all.

[@Hernondo1]

Yes, a lot of people go camping in them. But, at this price point, many people are living in these either part or even full time. Is $110k for your permanent home expensive? Also, if you like to travel a lot let's say 4 weeks/yr at $200/night = $5,600. Multiply this by 10 and you're at $56k spent in 10 years (equivalent). Naturally the RV is double that, but you still own the product (renting vs owning), and you have a TON more flexibility. If you're the person who wants to drive into the woods and build campfires for a weekend twice per year, this type of RV isn't for you. Just my .02!

[@nephibahr7101]

We have a 2019 42' Forest River Heritage Glen 5th wheel we use for glamping only. Most of these sized units are designed for full time use. I know that full time RVing seems like your going to be full time vacationing but that's not reality. Most full timers or owners of these sized units end up in a RV park 6' from their neighbor. We personally hate RV parks. We try to do 20 trips a year (mostly long weekends), which is a big commitment, takes a lot of planning and is expensive (400-1000 each trip). We take our trailer dry camping, to campgrounds, to festivals, concerts and weekend tailgates for college football games. We bought this trailer at auction and sold our 28' bumper pull trailer. Honestly more room is always better once set up. But very few spaces will fit this large of a trailer and your probably not going to take your semi sized trailer up a remote road. We have kids and always invite friends so having this large of a trailer is nice but we try to spend as little time as possible inside. Why go camp and spend all your time inside? I would have never bought this sized trailer if we did not get such an amazing deal at auction but it would be hard to go smaller now, until the kids are gone. With that said, at the current cost of trailers and gas and how difficult it is to reserve good campgrounds, a hotel is cheaper and easier to plan. But... there is nothing like crawling into your own bed at night no matter where you are.

[@ZillaYT]

Not too crazy about the cramped stove

[@mysticwitch2072]

I just don’t like how they have the shower door open by the sink. Ya gotta squeeze in.

[@helenettlin7152]

The door slides in quite a way…the opening is probably close to three feet wide so it’s not tight at all. On ours, the opening is on the other side…

[@Alpha_fitz]

Anything new with GD toy haulers?

[@gardeningwithdiane]

Can you order with a queen bed set up? Can you ask for the waterproofing in the slide area when you order it? What are the lead times for ordering new ones?

[@mylesrv]

Yes you can order with a queen bed, but they won’t do something that they don’t normally do such as wrapping the flooring for one specific unit. And an order time all depends on what we already have in our system. You won’t have to place a brand new order to get a queen bed, we would just have to find one we already have ordered that hasn’t been built yet and change that order to a queen bed.

[@gardeningwithdiane]

Being a spiller myself, I can definitely see a problem having the dinette flooring unprotected- and being in front of the sink.

[@danwake4431]

very nice looking

[@scotttaylor7211]

Beautiful!!! Are the cabinets sticker-wrapped or are they stained wood? Many times the drawer under an oven is a warming drawer. It looks like the floor is made from particle board instead of plywood which makes it more susceptible to water absorption and disintegration.

[@mylesrv]

It’s a marine grade sub flooring, so it’s water resistant, and the cabinets are stained hardwood.

[@helenettlin7152]

They are wood with even real wood bottoms. The oven is a real oven and will hold a 9x13 cake pan easily. We love ours.

[@MrGoodtime1301]

Good video! Where can I go to find information on upcoming RV shows in DFW area?

There is a show this weekend at Dallas Market Hall!

[@fixesflyers]

Which one would you pick for long term living? Keystone or Grand design?

[@agentnull5242]

Hi Myle's. Does the BH in the model room stand for Bunk House? If so, do all of the model names stand for something?

[@AnnieTyme]

yes bh bunk house rk rear kitchen, fk front kitchen, rb rear bunkhouse, hb half bath, bp butler pantry are a few examples

[@Hernondo1]

We have the Reflection 367BHS, but would love to upgrade to this model. Small nuances that add up to a big difference between the 2 units. Unfortunately, I need a new pickup if I were to upgrade! :sadface:

[@christophersmith2998]

The flooring is covered in glue and vinyl, Good enough....

[@rogergraves242]

Too Heavy Thk U

[@truthhurts7529]

I assure you that mid bunk room ac is horrible. We have the 2021 keystone Montana and since it shared the duct with the other AC’s, there is almost ZERO air flow to the mid bunk/ office room.

[@mylesrv]

I’m sorry to hear that the AC in the bedroom was not what you expected. However, The AC system in here is different than in a Montana. The Montana has a loft that the AC has to be ducted around, this does not. Unless you have a Montana different than the ones I’ve always seen that have the loft. I’d also be curious to know if your Montana has 2 or 3 ACs. Because I know a lot of 2021 models only had 2, where as a lot of 2022 models like this Solitude are ordered with 3.

[@truthhurts7529]

@@mylesrv we have 3… but yes your right, it is ducted through the top loft

[@alettasalter1987]

For a camper at that price point I would expect to see slide toppers 😔

[@mylesrv]

In most cases, slide toppers are an option to add on towable RVs.

[@K9WATCHER]

No room on either side of the stove.... that's kind of crappy!😢

[@kathryneseidler8903]

What is the cost

But the sink is always so close to the counter. Couldn’t put a shampoo chair there

wish they wouldnt have removed the loft a couple years ago. I really like it otherwise

night stand location is stupid....begging to be broken

[@tamiemajesky9802]

Can ai add a sink and outside showet

[@Hernondo1]

Hey Tamie, he didn't specifically call it out, but you can add a quick-connect hose just to the left of the outdoor "kitchen", or there's a quick connect spot in the water hookup panel as well on the other side. Technically you could connect a hose from there to an external sink if desired.

[@tinacelani4753]

Broiler

[@lynchinjesus]

Hey i appreciate the content but please clean these up a little bit. You dont need to explain potential functions and use of stuff like a stove or stairs. We got it. If you tighten these videos up to just do a full walkthrough and show the layout with some different unique amenities. Explaining the propane tanks for 2 minutes when they are on every single rv is exhausting and makes these videos way too long. If someone is shopping around they would habe to watch several hours of these videos and you explaining how curtains work. Its ridiculous. I hope you understand. Good luck.

[@mylesrv]

My channel has done pretty well with the way I do things. Thanks for the advice though.

[@lynchinjesus]

@@mylesrv fair enough. Just some constructive criticism.

[@mylesrv]

@@lynchinjesus there’s lots of RV channels with RV videos that are shorter than mine. I go into more detail on mine intentionally to set myself apart. People that have the knowledge can fast forward, and people that don’t can learn something new. It’s a win win.

[@Chilipeppers1017]

1 foot tub... I have to call bs Miles... more like 5-6"

[@Chilipeppers1017]

If I managed any of the RVs you showcase I would have to end any representation of my product lines: why in the hell do you have to nit-pick every feature or benefits of my line. Most people have no idea of how the slides are wrapped or not, but still, the plywood isn't any ordinary plywood, some are hardenedor treated, some are more dense. As for soft-close drawers... let it go, you are supposed to be representing a product, point out features, highlight benefits... sell, sell, sell. When you were a sales representative did point out all the negatives in your line? Be truthful, be sure to know what the customer needs are, fulfill, make sale, make money, repeat!

[@mylesrv]

I actually was a sales representative when I made this video and was a sales representative for quite a long time after this video. So yes, it has always been my philosophy to give an honest review of an RV because it’s not my job to “sell” people, it’s my job to INFORM people so they can make an informed decision. If you just want to be sold to and only ever hear positive things, I’m not the person for you.

[@ethang6845]

I left this video more informed because of Myles’ review. I appreciate and trust the reviewer or salesperson more for the transparency about good and bad rather than hiding it.

[@oni_goroshi]

You sound like a shady used car salesman. The type that knows you're selling junk and just wants to grab money. I'd take someone like Myles any day over some dishonest jackass like you. I'd rather hear the good and bad then be able to make an informed decision if I'm going to put down over $100k on something than have someone sugar coat everything making it seem like the potentially negative things are all kittens and rainbows. Keep up the awesome work, Myles! I enjoy your videos.
