Grand Design Solitude 375-RES (Getaway Couple) Full Time RV Tour!

[@badbiker666]

My wife and I are looking for a fifth wheel to retire into, and the 375RES is the one we have, well almost but not quite, settled on. It is far more expensive than we budgeted for, but it has a few features that we hadn't even considered which we have now decided we can't live without. Among them is the fireplace/space heater. Just like Rae (4:53) my wife has decided that are are NOT getting a trailer that doesn't have this. We haven't made our final selection or committed to a purchase yet because before we retire, sell our property, buy an RV, and hit the road, some things outside of our control have to happen first. So, we are playing a waiting game. But the 375RES is currently number one on our list. I am watching your video in July 2022, so three and a half years after you posted it, but the primary features of the trailer remain the same. Some small details and décor options are different, otherwise your video is still relevant to folks like us who are considering this wonderful rig.

[@johndolezal310]

It's nice to see people I follow on KZbin connect with one another. You all are living the dream. Take care and be safe.

[@GetawayCouple]

It was great meeting you in person as well!! Even with the lost footage you guys did a great job capturing everything and did our rig justice :) Hopefully our paths cross again this year and we can grab another beer (or two!)

[@ChangingLanes]

Or three! 🍻 😎

[@greg9323]

Thank you for sharing. The Solitude with the front living area is great and would be the only rig we would probably trade our Arctic Fox in for. Be safe and happy travels.

[@JH-zf8ff]

We love our Grand Design. They are well made and have a lot of nice touches.

two of my fave channels together and uploaded on my birthday, awesome

[@ChangingLanes]

Happy belated birthday! 🎉

[@bethhodges7920]

Love the Getaway Couple and you both as well! Keep the great videos coming!

[@TheGlampingGuys]

Awesome video! Jason & Rae are the bomb! They’re the reason we bought our GD 344GK-R last April. They were so nice and answered our questions through email about GD and were so helpful in us making that final buying decision. Thanks for sharing this. You guys rock! Peace! 👍😀🤟❤️🙏

[@ChangingLanes]

That's a VERY nice rig! Great choice! Just checked out your channel and subscribed. Very cool! 👍🏽 😀

Another great tour! I do follow " getaway couple" also. Always enjoy all the information you provide as I get ready to "full time ". Thanks!

[@ricks.5313]

We found the rig they are in at our latest local RV show and fell in love. Think that's the way we're going! Can't beat the storage!!! what sold it for us was the "separation" between living room, kitchen, and bedroom. When you're in each space there is a distinct difference/separation and we loved that.

[@ricks.5313]

oh yeah and been following Ray and Jason for a while...:) He's a fellow computer nerd....:)

[@ChangingLanes]

The separation makes a big difference we think. One of the major downfalls of a Class A is how it feels like one big space.

Awesome tour! Love how chill you all were during it too haha. Great collab! Have a great week. - Shane

[@TheMtmomto5]

I love the front livingroom!!!

[@flybird141]

That is so cool:) Just like the style we are looking at in a Montana 3791. We love the floor plan!

[@bonnefires5835]

I love crossover shows! Its like when The Fonz & Richie showed up on Laverne & Shirley! (And yes, we already follow them!)

[@ChangingLanes]

LOL! I remember when those were a big deal too! Then the Fonz jumped the shark and it was all down hill... LOL

[@clarkclarke]

Enjoyed the video, getting ready to order my 373FB Solitude and I'm going to Lazydays and will ask for Bama after seeing your Lazydays video.

[@ChangingLanes]

Awesome! Be sure to tell him we sent you, and you'll get a free soda! 😉 That 373FB is AMAZING! We did some filming of it while we were at the RV show. Very impressive!

[@jlweck231978]

My parents bought a few really noce motorhomes from there on there way to the keys. They loved that place.

Thanks, Dean! The storage is insane on that thing huh?

[@ChangingLanes]

There are certainly some huge benefits to the residential fridge. Ice make being a big one! 🥃😎

[@richardvandenarend4468]

We follow both of your channels and have thoroughly enjoyed the videos. I am doing the research for our retirement plan to RV full time. I watch a lot of videos and both channels are some of my top go to resources. We really enjoy the videos on Lucille. Keep 'em coming folks! Chad, on the video by the Getaway couple on the tour of the Changing Lanes rig you mentioned your sound system and cranking the music up. What music might that be? Cheers!!

[@ChangingLanes]

Hi! The sound system in our RV is the Rockford Fosgate system that was an option on our RV. Has a subwoofer behind the sofa and extra speakers inside and out. It mostly gets turned on for Daisy when we go out and there's no TV signals for her to watch. Daisy isn't allowed to stream from the appletv. LOL

[@kalibaby78]

We have the GD Imagine 2250RK its a smaller rig but we love it, and as small as it is we have 3 good size dogs that travel with us, although we are not full time at this time we are making plans for the near future and will more than likely upgrade our GD :)

[@ChangingLanes]

We sure have been super happy with GDRV! Glad you are too! Safe Travels!

[@celiagraham5920]

We’re sold 👍🏾

[@seancallahan3397]

i dont know if yall have ever gotten the rig washed in monee illinois, but it looks familar. bring it by anytime, i will be sure to hook you up. Love the idea, this is what youtube is meant for. Quality content, quality channel.

[@travelingtrekez7034]

Good Job ! Nice video! We pick up our Solitude S-Class 2930RL very soon. Its only an S-Class but it fits our needs.

[@ChangingLanes]

Awesome! Congrats! Hope you tag us in a pic of it when you get it! 😊

[@juliushafsteinsson8358]

Another outstanding video

[@patrickgibson9446]

I think RES means Rear Entertainment System........

[@TheWoodsmanWI]

Great video! We are looking at the GD midbunks. Hopefully soon! Can I ask what gimbal you are using for your iPhone? Thanks!

[@ChangingLanes]

We were using the DJI Osmo Mobile 2 (amzn.to/2sXiCFO). It works great, but hated mounting and un-mounting the phone. Also didn't like how it records to it's own camera roll, which made the process of getting the footage off a pain (likely why we lost footage in this case). We've since replaced it with the DJI Osmo Pocket (amzn.to/2ML2O22), but that one is over 2x the price. The Osmo Mobile 2 is a great device for the price for sure. Thanks for watching, Dean! Good luck RV shopping! 😊

[@timf6916]

Nice walk through

[@rosekransconst.2495]

Solitude makes a toy hauler for you motorcycle but that about all your gonna haul then you’ll get the big front living room with you bedroom in the rear!

[@ChangingLanes]

Yes... very similar model in the momentum line also (376TH). Very cool floor plan!

[@davejeanne1814]

Just subscribed and enjoy your videos. When are you coming out west? Lots of beautiful landscapes, you would love it! Dave & Jeanne, Walla Walla, Wa.

Enjoyed the video. We watch Getaway couple as well

[@ChangingLanes]

They are awesome people! We had a great time getting to hang out with them at the rally.

[@redroofretriever]

Rig weight and length? And the tow vehicle in the background looks badass.

[@ChangingLanes]

Hopefully @getawaycouple will weigh in here (see what I did there?) 😜 But the specs can be found here: www.granddesignrv.com/showroom/2019/fifth-wheel/solitude/floorplans/375res-375res-r

[@arguy2021]

So now that you've got a video of a Solitude on your channel, do you guys feel like there is a big hardware/cabinetry/material difference between the Momentum and the Solitude Line? Rumors on some facebook groups are that Solitude's have nicer cabinets and pulls and furniture overall. How do you guys feel about it?

[@ChangingLanes]

Hmmmmm.. I think we'd have to look again with our eyes out for such differences... Nothing really stood out, though. In fact, looking back at the video a lot of the hardware seems to be very similar.

[@arguy2021]

@@ChangingLanes In that case, I would like for my wife and I to call first 'Dibs' on your 397TH when you guys decide to upgrade. 😂

[@arguy2021]

@@mwalker8269 No laughing here. I get the honeycomb logic. Thanks for the input. It really helps.

[@truckcampinglife]

Sorry guys but I love their's more than yours. Between the two of rigs I am so wanting to go the 5th wheel route.

[@ChangingLanes]

The solitude line is a clear winner if you don't need to haul a "toy"

[@audragardner2183]

What size truck do you have for hauling this wonderful rez-i-dence?

[@ChangingLanes]

Jason and Rae have a RAM... Not sure of the specs. We have an F350 that we go over in this video if interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmjVpqF6qN-LgrM

What do you do when the RV is getting serviced? Do you get a hotel room?

[@ChangingLanes]

Luckily, so far, all repairs have been mobile tech or DIY: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaSXpniXmat8iLs

[@bradscrazylife4269]

I need some advice! I have 8000$. So should I buy a used travel trailer and finance a newer truck. Or buy a nice used truck and go try to find a 2018 model camper. I'm trying to go full time this year. Thanks for your help!!

[@ChangingLanes]

Well.. Here are my thoughts (chad)... if you get the right truck, it can last you through several campers if you size it up a bit. A good truck will depreciate less also (particularly diesel). You'll likely want to upgrade the camper before the truck, so having less depreciation on the RV by buying used might be the best option. That's my take at least... Hope that helps. Good luck! 😊

[@bradscrazylife4269]

Yeah we were thinking we liked a used Jayco Eagle 314 6500 used and get a F 250 6 3/4 bed newer like 2015/2016 6.7 diesel. So we can tow our Harley and our trailer without getting a expensive 5th wheel so we can keep the cost down.

[@ChangingLanes]

Even less depreciation on the truck then! 👍🏽😊

[@stevecrazy9491]

How's my favorite couple? I am curious, do you need a commercial license to drive your rig. Plus, have you looked at the 2019 Dodges? I mean don't worry, as soon as you buy something I can almost promise you'll find something cheaper or better. NOW, I am NOT saying a Dodge is better than a Ford by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just partial to Dodge because of the engine and YES I know Ford owns cummins. Anyway let me know about the license. Ok!

[@ChangingLanes]

No CDL Required (for us)... There's a lot of confusion on this topic. Yes, some states have Class A CDL or some type of non-commercial endorsement requirements for RV's over certain weights. However, Florida , as well as about half of the other states, do not. In Florida, drivers of recreational vehicles are exempt from the requirement to obtain a commercial drivers license. section 322.53(2) (d), Florida Statutes. (www.flhsmv.gov/florida-highway-patrol/specialized-areas/commercial-vehicle-enforcement/recreational-vehicles/) Since every state honors the driving and license requirements of every other state, we are perfectly legal to drive in all 50 states under our standard Florida license. And.. I haven't seen it, but I hear the 2019 RAMs are awesome. 35K towing capacity... but I can't find any details on GVWR. Did it go up from 14K?

[@stevecrazy9491]

@@ChangingLanes I'm not sure but here is the link. I am very impressed and I might just sell my 2006 Ford King Ranch and bit the bullet. YES, I know these trucks are very expensive but I should get good money for my King Ranch since it only has 22 thousand miles on it. Hard to believe I know. Long story but the wife got breast cancer and, well, it slowed it way down. Here is the link for Dodge. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp7Io2unnpWcbpY Oh yea, all 3500 come standard with the Asis transmission. I wonder if I should order a 4:10 since I'll have a truck camper. Probably not necessary. I love your rig but we want to travel .
