[@tonylevine2716]

One of the best kitchens I've seen in a 5th wheel. Whoever designed that whole 5th wheel deserves an award.

[@Erin-Thor]

Yes, but you are never going to get to the fridge with the slide in unless you’re a gymnast. 😳

[@artistaloca4]

Are you a cook? From sink to stove and oven to sink is a little awkward

[@tonylevine2716]

@@Erin-Thor LOL...fair point. I wish he does more videos showing the slide IN. 99% of the RV videos on KZbin never show the slides IN or how they slide in and out.

[@tonylevine2716]

@@artistaloca4 LOL...not a cook. :)

[@renaarmstrong2838]

I agree completely. LOOK AT THE STOVE! The windows are BESIDE the stove and not behind it to dry all splashed up with grease. That’s something I’ve complained about in almost every front kitchen. This kitchen is a WINNER!

[@noahtramposh3350]

That is ALOT of trailer for 66k

[@owenwammes4052]

Ya I was thinking it was going to be around $115K+

[@birdnest5814]

How many women fast forward to see the interior first? 😊

[@TheMuirite]

Me

[@debearp2721]

If the inside doesn't excited me why do they think it would be a purchase?

[@e.p.6462]

Absolutely!

[@BrittMFH]

You betcha!

[@TamaraLR]

Birdnest58 yep, LOL

[@dedalliance1]

I'd put a desk where the loveseat by the door is, but that's probably the only thing that I would change.

[@AC-tn1cy]

If I need a desk that bad I'll stay home and work.

[@Linkale_]

@@AC-tn1cy but some people will live full-time in one of those. And other people may want a desk for whatever other reason: maybe they want to play PC games, maybe play a piano... More useful than having 6 seats when there's only a bed for 2 people.

[@edl6398]

I don't know why RV manufacturers don't recognize that the demographic is changing. We need desks for computers! Not just the kitchen table.

[@chrisd4454]

Was thinking the very same thing about a desk.

[@goththicus]

$66k? Dang. That’s a good deal. Nice layout. Perfect for full timing.

[@lymarie1974]

I hope I’m not the only one that shakes my shoulders and dance when the into starts🤣. This is my husband and I dream home❤️.

[@DMAXRYNO]

They should’ve flipped the stairs to the other side of the living room so the recliners actually line up with the tv. Other than that, really nice unit!

[@dedalliance1]

RV shopping now? lol.

[@lynnemelanson6186]

DMAXRYNO this is exactly what I said as I was watching. Don’t understand why they did this

[@tlr-nut7275]

You would also avoide walking in front of everyone watching tv.

[@king4b1]

I was thinking exactly the same thing so i went to their website and they have just released it what you said 388FKC FLOORPLAN

[@searchingforsigns8445]

Not only that, but good luck sneaking past your sleeping guests on the couches to get a late night snack. Lol

[@j4fcowboy]

We just bought this in the 1492 package. We love it. Never even seen one before and then came across it and bought it.

[@thechef8660]

What is the 1492 package?What type of truck do you have to tow it with? Where did you buy it?

[@j4fcowboy]

Terry H it is the same floor plan with the upgraded suspension. It has a Maserator and an automatic power cord reel. It has an induction cook top and wine fridge. Dishwasher and a stacked Whirlpool washer and drier. Comes with an out side tv and two 50” tv in the RV. It is painted fiberglass front and rear cap. Winegard tv/WiFi/4g antenna. Bought it in Oklahoma City. I pull it with a 2019 F350 Dually. I changed out the pin box to a Reese Goosebox. It also come with a Tire Pressure monitor and I put on the rear and side cameras. I love this rig.

[@chelleroberson3222]

Perfect for full time. Just needs a ceiling fan in the bedroom

[@dierechtschreiberin3157]

I just need someone who will give me some money... 😂

[@vickidickinson2888]

And night stands. I was really surprised that there was no night stands or a shelf above. What about cpap users? Deal breaker for us.

[@jonathonhenry9234]

can you out a ceiling fan in one does it need to be sturdy for moving when driving?

[@paulaanderson9770]

As a CPAP user, I was disappointed that there was not night stands in the bedroom. Other than that, this is the perfect 5th wheel.

[@jamesbeaman6337]

Paula, just wondering how much room is needed for a CPAP setup? It seems more RV designs would account for those since so many people I know seem to use them.

[@MakingLemonadeCreations]

Yep that makes it a no buy for me too. My husband uses a CPAP and I have to have water during the night. No place for an alarm clock either except across the room where you have to get out of bed to turn it off.

[@heariam7557]

We'd rather have queen, with SOME shelf or SOMEthing @ bedside

[@gayleearnhart8597]

Install wall shelving or end table.

[@AC-tn1cy]

Me too. Bed area is too crowded.

[@annA48126]

I love how the kitchen is seperated from the living area. Fix the tele with a swivel arm and I'm good to go. 😁

[@copelandcook7273]

We have been full time in the first ever produced 387FK since November. We absolutely love the layout.

[@paulcosgrove4204]

Not alot of outside storage. Would've liked to see a vertical pantry on either side of fridge. It can afford to give up a little counter space.

[@paulgarner2729]

Typical guy comment. Do you do all of the cooking? All the women I talk to want that much counter space

[@zenosperformance1125]

@@paulgarner2729 calm down, he has a point.

[@chrisd4454]

Good point about the vertical pantry.

[@dbell582]

I’d like a pantry, but counter space is so important too. I think maybe one vertical pantry on either side of the fridge would work for me. My last RV had literally one tiny counter top that I had to use for a microwave replacement. The original was broken and I couldn’t get a new one grrrr.

[@bradleyb.1556]

My buddy bought one of these over 8 months ago and the frame was no Bueno. He's been fighting them since to get it fixed.

[@lymarie1974]

@bradley thank you for the heads up.

[@leonmiller4707]

Bradley B. I work at Columbus and our newest prototype frame broke in half😅

[@richnicholls9236]

Thank you for your on going detailed essence work on these. I enjoy your pointing things out so that I/we get a better idea down the road.

[@teresakilpatrick825]

Love this floor plan!! Just needs a 1/2 bath. Beautiful!!

[@winstonwainscott8021]

6 slides - that rocks! NICE kitchen. NICE bath area.

[@1coolvideo]

Finally you are showing my favorite layout lol. I transported a few like this last year but they both had a island sink in the kitchen. Can’t remember the brand though. This is a perfect 2 person year round RV.

[@nelsonbaldwin5494]

Thank goodness...me and my fiancee just bought one for year round living XD

[@janmoline]

OMG This is perfect!!!!! Yay!!! My husband is 6'7" tall. The bedroom and the bathroom (shower, specifically) are the two most important factors in convincing him to head out on the road after retirement!!!

[@amyblack9251]

I like the floor plan, because the kitchen is more open to the living area than some newer 5th wheels.

[@pirate1012]

Really good use of space. I love it!

[@alejandravillarreal4158]

I wouldn’t mind selling my House and living in this trailer lol

[@mattspencer-mumme7406]

Nice layout and colour tones great the kitchen chairs finally some genuine quality and bathroom plan great job

[@sparky6026]

Oh, wow ! Outstanding, your right!

[@williamquestmagic]

Columbus Always does it so nice...they are one of my favorite manufacturers bill in Florida.

[@robertjohnson4784]

Wow I must say very nice fifth wheel I really like the interior very roomy the bathroom was definitely a bonus and for the money I think it's a really good deal thank you JD always watching love the videos

[@andreashauschild7757]

Impressive. Its a small apartment by all standards. For the price this is incredible.

[@Bushguyrocks]

Excellent presentation. Best I've seen yet. No wasted time. Tell it like it is, and that's all. A lot of information in a short time. Damn fine, buddy. A lot of you tubers could learn from you.

[@dondasilva2889]

Just want to say I love front kitchen models And I love your work Great job

[@ricwestdoesitwork]

Nice front kitchen and I love a front kitchen 5th wheel. Very nice floor plan. Thanks for sharing JD.

[@loriw2661]

I absolutely love the floor plan. Time to go get a Ford Ranger to pull it with!!😂🤣😂🤣

[@paulgarner2729]

That won't pull it!!

[@desertmulehunter]

@@paulgarner2729 No, but a dodge neon would do the job for sure. 😂😂🤣🤣😂

[@craighunter7705]

Very nice fifth wheel. Love the layout. Never saw one like that. (A+). Also, had a dryer vent built in the back for your washer & dryer.

[@flipflopgirl3786]

That kitchen!!!!!!! Super nice trailer!!!

[@Forcemaster2000]

Love this floor plan and the textures and color choices!

[@gracewhitefeather1474]

Interior starts at 4 mins and 18 secs. For the ladies....

[@patriot350]

Stunning 5th wheel. Wow!

[@lanceripplinger8352]

Interesting layout. That kitchen and bathroom is impressive for sure. The whole trailer has a residential feel to it. Good for a couple on the road a lot, or perhaps even full time.

[@lilahnewton7940]

Very nice presentation. Excellent deal on this RV. Bet it doesn't last long.👍

[@butterflykisses-ritagather126]

Absolutely love this video. Thank you very much!

[@lindarainey5759]

Beautiful front kitchen!!!! Love the space!!

[@homelessjedi2843]

I have been watching ur vids for a long time and this by far imo is the beat 5th wheel design I have seen it looks fantastic and I agree that the lighter tones on the outside set it apart from others and it looks better ino

[@heariam7557]

LOVING the light colors!

[@christopherhodson4049]

1st time I've seen a staircase like that in an R.V. ever! It looked good to me. I currently live in an RV 2005 Adirondack, so New materials won't be there. I'll need to send you a tour of it sometime. Only after I clean it though! I like it though, because it's just me and not a big family. Good work.

[@chelleroberson3222]

No island in the kitchen thats great !

[@FeelGoodFirst]

I love the color scheme! Love the layout!

[@Benjamin-gp3dl]

Very unique layout. I’d only opt for a queen bed and figure out a spot to have a desk an chair for an office space instead of the second loveseat.

[@gimmelmom]

I like this floorplan. It's perfect for my family.

[@michaellavielle3415]

This is the best design I've seen in a 5th wheel that I've seen. Way to break the mold - hope others think out of the box.

[@IntelligenceONE]

I would love having something like this! Great floor plan.

[@carltonlandry1972]

Love that Columbus. I bet full time living in this thing wouldn't feel cramped.

[@Hwan.421]

Awesome! Hopefully they’ll incorporate a bunk house in future plans

[@ChasinTrails]

I'd have to say this ones in my top 3 for all the trailers you've shown.

[@justinmcclaughry2574]

My wife and I are looking to get an FK or FL for Full time. This one is definitely appealing. We have been using your channel as our main source of learning and it’s helped. We’ve been wanting to look at a Sabre 37flh and really want you to do a review of one.

[@miss420mj]

Wow..it's my dream trailer! Thank you for the tour! I am looking for something to live in fulltime because I want to travel and am sick of spending obscene amounts of money on a 💩 apartment.

[@barrishawkins7247]

That is an awesome layout!

[@pameaves3170]

Oh I would love to live in this beautiful showplace full time!

[@michaelfedorsha8147]

That kitchen is awesome!

[@chelleroberson3222]

A vent above the stove also , it just keeps getting better

[@jeannineguarino4010]

Absolutely, love this one

[@valerioliva9872]

Love that kitchen

[@djgeminithirdeye1859]

U got me with the front kitchen!

[@sandrascott2170]

Love this kitchen but I wouldn’t trade my Columbus 383FB. We are full time and really enjoy all the amenities in our coach!!

[@terrychalfant9521]

Love the kitchen and bathroom

[@nativerosenativerose8549]

Love the size of the kitchen

[@sbjennings99]

Awesome informative Video experience 👏 Y'alls

[@rainfall2464]

So many nice features! I luv the cozy living room and the kitchen. i don't like the all-seeing-eye on the front. I wish the kitchen island was a movable table for family dining. I like the hidden drawers behind the fridge - almost like a safe. When reviewing, can you remind us what section is in a slide. Sometimes i like to envision what it looks like when they're all in.

[@renaarmstrong2838]

NOW THS AWESOME. Somebody got SMART! The stove does not have a window behind it!!!!! Yay. The windows are on the side. That’s SMART! Kitchen is incredible! Love it. Bathroom WOW! Bedroom really great. Needs phone connections and bedside tables or something. My only problem with this one is not much company sleeping space. But it’s very very well thought out. I’m rarely impressed anymore but this one perked me up.

[@lynnpappas4049]

I especially like the fact that there is a overhead exhaust fan over the stove; and a very nice one at that.

[@paulgarner2729]

Phone connections? Are you talking land line or USB?

[@its.indigo.pulchritudinous]

My favorite RV by far

[@cindydegraaff5083]

Beautiful!

[@scottmikoski8287]

Love your reviews on different 5er’s. If you could review an Alliance that would be great. Been debating on one but they seem new and can’t find many reviews. Thanks

[@MichaelBrown-kk6ck]

Alliance definitely worth looking at. I think JD did one of those a while back.

[@shannonstewart4792]

This is a must save. Freaking awesome for the price. Wonder if you ordered a Queen bed instead of the king if a small nightstand would fit on both sides. And I'd add a headboard. And maybe a desk or bar instead of the loveseat by the staircase. But nice masculine looking rig.

[@shannanbegley8189]

Really like this layout

[@mariewhite7893]

Love the outside color scheme

[@vandanajaiswal7418]

It's amazing and wow

[@cathiegarner9157]

Best layout I have seen. Manufacturing needs to make more

[@gayleearnhart8597]

Much better layout than with a tiny house.

[@curtiskrumm8867]

Pretty cool layout. One thing that just KILLS me with some of the units is when they put the battery disconnect, or even in this unit the cable/sat and radio on the bottom of the wall in the storage area. I mean, that is right where someone is going to have items stowed. And the old school graphics on the front cap are a bit dated. Otherwise, I give this unit 2 thumbs up.....

[@marde55]

My first thought was, if you stop for lunch or the night you can’t access the kitchen without climbing up over the table area (with slides in)! I like it opened up, but those quick snack stops wouldn’t be easy!

[@jennifercastro1384]

Love, love, love the bathroom. Not sure about the kitchen. Would have been nice to have a pantry on one of the side if the fridge.

[@chrisgrobbelaar4658]

Very nice. 6 bump-outs = more space.

[@davidallred4611]

Beautiful.

[@rae1957tn]

This is one of the best

[@northsidecoolguy5041]

nice! definitely one of my new favs :)

[@michaelsellers2675]

We know your looking for a new 5th wheel. I'm surprise this one doesn't have your interest on buying. I watch several and i mean several of your videos. By watching your earlier video my wife and I seen one of your videos on a RV that we decided to buy. Thanks you for showing all these rv to the public and helping decide on our purchase.

[@happycook128]

Beautiful!!

[@jgriff3218]

Nice unit. Full time RV compatible. One thing did not care for. The radio and disconnect in the storage area should be higher if anything is every stored . Moving stuff around and oops shut the power off, or items shift during transport power goes off. Thanks for another tour.

[@mountaineerbear3122]

That kitchen is nicer than most homes I've been in

[@monzon529]

This one is very nice.

[@chelleroberson3222]

Awesome bath

[@aprildawn8692]

That bathroom 😍

[@ricardoruiz3650]

Beautiful RV

[@joycependleton589]

Very nice!

[@johneygd]

Whooaah now that looks cool,BUT i only wish that king size bed was slidible sothat i can make even more space if i want to,my second wish is to be allowed to use this rv during road trips,that would be awesome.

[@amandaddunn5694]

BEAUTIFUL! 😊

[@johnmiller4553]

WOW. TIME TO UPGRADE. I LOVE THE FLOOR PLAN 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@raybbj]

I think the lines are starting to blur between RV and mobile homeé Living room could be a bit bigger with a full sized couch on one wall.

[@Emma-uc5ov]

Wow i love that

[@soillife1]

Those colors will be cooler. Is that a lippert built frame ? More ride suspension is a great addition.

[@lancedawson7144]

Very beautiful
