I Love that you say Matt’s and Will site.

[@MattsRVReviewsTowables]

Thanks its something new I am trying

[@dmoonuk]

Love this on but only suggestion would be Instead of a mirror on the back of the Pop up Tv it should be another TV for the kitchen

[@MattsRVReviewsTowables]

DOUBLE TV ! I love that

[@patrimill7]

or it can turn around....

[@Flower--qg2ry]

@@MattsRVReviewsTowables yes a spin around tv

[@laurafernandez8281]

@@MattsRVReviewsTowables can it the tv be added

[@eugeniaskelley5194]

I was thinking the same thing. Another Tv for the kitchen would be great. Usually what happens is most people end up hanging out in the kitchen.

That trip up and down the ladder was not what it was CRACKED up to be! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣

[@anthonymoretti8238]

You guys are awesome.

[@ninastump7616]

I have to say they are getting better and better in the designs of these R.V.'s.

[@flipflopgirl3786]

OM gosh Matt! That ladder climb! 😆😆😆😆😆 Good job Wil👏 👍

[@lindaspencer-blackledge5706]

Really impressed by all the kitchen storage. Intrigued by the mirror on the televater. A 3rd a/c possibility would be great for me as I have relatives in southern Arizona. Love the bathroom. Always good to have laundry hookups.

[@nosnerd1967]

Now we talking !!! Love that slide tray !!!!

[@MattsRVReviewsTowables]

Thanks Al yes that tray was awesome

[@Resnik69]

The storage was CRAZY in a good way!

[@jant3]

6 min in the the boost has made it my favorite review lol

[@offthehoofbbq9653]

tight quarter zip + awkwardness + enthusiasm = GREAT JOB DUDE!

[@zucods]

That climb was funny! Love the more detailed video. Cheers from Brazil!

[@severedmetalband]

Love this, my wife and I are going to finally purchase our first RV in March! This design except a 2022! And Matt has helped immensely with our choice!

[@taylorwhite6022]

Gorgeous unit! Definitely going to have to research further!!

[@sherriweber7105]

Hi Matt and Wil! I love this fifth wheel. It’s nice. The three things I don’t like are the same as yours and my likes are the living room and the bathroom and kitchen. I like the bedroom too. It’s nice it has 3 air conditioning. Glad the televator is where it is so you can see out the windows. Thank you Matt and Wil.

[@revcrum]

Love that front living room set up. If we go that route when we upgrade, looking for that floor plan for sure. Really wish they had some type of outside kitchen.

[@tinaprice4948]

I love this RV!

[@lindakurman8642]

Looks great. I can’t fine a real issue negative. Love the couch placement so u can see out and face the room.

[@bethfranklin2545]

Really like the floor plan

[@60Airflyte]

I LOVE the placement of the theater seating. One thing I don’t like when it’s on the other side is that there is no room for side tables. I love that this layout allows for side tables. For me, that’s the best thing but it’s tied with the storage space underneath. The space on either side of the range is also a plus. Great floor plan.

[@sneidsontheroad]

Team work makes the dream work #ladderassistance 🤣 You guys rock!

[@johnpossible6292]

This is the first coach I’ve seen with Cooper tires on it.... “ I love those too”.

[@flipflopgirl3786]

Beautiful! Love this unit. The mirror behind the TV is odd but I see why they did it.

[@kevincameron8437]

Matt, what tires DON’T you like!😂😂. One dislike is the closeness of the drawers next to the bed. From the camera angle, it looked a little tight. But overall, I like this camper floor plan. And yes, I like this video format too.

[@Chris79809]

great job guys

[@tomaszdzbikowicz5166]

I do like this floor plan even my absolute favorite is north point 382 flfb…good job. Guys ….👍

[@johnpossible6292]

Thats awesome that you mention Will in the beginning of the review. ...he deserves that. Otherwise when Matt needed a boost up the ladder he could have thrown you up to Maryland. I think the Jayco North point has a similar floor plan like this.Great job on this review men. One last thing is can you please make mention of the leveling system controlls were ever they are on the rig your reviewing.

[@kaykaykayak9368]

Cliff hanger number 3??? That was my favorite!!!

[@eyeswideopen1158]

Matt!!! 😲 You worried the heck out of me climbing that ladder! Please be careful.🌸

[@larryvisco9674]

What a beautiful bathroom shower. I would like it in my condo.

[@karenmcmullen1199]

Wish I could have hit the like button about 10 times for that video of well helping you up the ladder

[@iragoldberg9426]

Love this unit!! Needs residential fridge though. Best so far.

[@tchrof6th]

Ok, I’m going to take back my slide outs remark. It makes it nice.

[@CindyTRH]

Would like to see more towables with Murphy bed and bunkhouse layout. Fun videos, thanks!

[@deborahhymer9315]

Love the location of TV and fireplace. Location of stove and counter on both sides. Shower is nice, toilet is not prime with doors closed.

[@christinehooks8873]

I love the RV. Also love the trash cans 🙂

[@MattsRVReviewsTowables]

Thank you so much!

[@aaronpendergrass5956]

With the storage in the back they should turn the front pass thru into some kind of outside kitchen.

[@jmdminiaturehorse63]

Definitely like it better with more content.

[@allabouttires1941]

lol you guys are the best ..

[@lisamyers8407]

For the price point of this RV, Jayco North Point has a very similar floor plan but, the televator is double sided (TV on each side) which is pretty darn cool.

[@tchrof6th]

Ohhhh Will, batten the hatches, tomorrow morning will be worse lol 😂

[@davelauraphillips8814]

We like the more detailed video format. The previous videos felt rushed and often left us wanting more details. THX for making that change. A few others mentioned the ladder as a dislike. It would have been easy to add another step at the bottom. As-is it is a safety concern and would be inexpensive to fix. Suggestions / requests for future videos: 1 - not a specific RV review, but describe and show differences between Solitude, Solitude-S Class, and Reflection. 2 - show interior with slides in (not necessary to show slides in motion, just show it "all buttoned up" please). 3 - please review a Reflection 337RLS (detailed review like this one). THX for considering our suggestions.

[@AlaskaRuzz]

That hitch weight of 3100 lbs. puts this in dually territory for sure.

[@jobeck9389]

Likes: TV placement in LR, power cord reel, storage Dislikes: No solar, no refrigerator with slide in, rooftop ladder too short

[@MattsRVReviewsTowables]

Thanks so much Jo Beck!

[@jobeck9389]

@@MattsRVReviewsTowables You're welcome!

[@AlBedford]

You mentioned how tall Will was later in the video but the better time to mention how tall he is was when you were showing how tall the ceiling was in the front living area and used Will as example of the ceiling height.

[@chrisrowland2223]

I absolutely love the flipped living room design with the TV in the divider area, just not sure about the huge mirror on the backside. Seems like an accident waiting to happen. The kitchen has a bunch of counters, cabinet space, and drawers. I would shrink the depth, then slide the island towards the stove and make it an L-shape so the fridge is accessible with slides in. I love how the kitchen side of the divider wall has a drop counter, it helps to open the whole area. Please stop putting 2 doors in the bathroom / bedroom. I would rather close off the wall between bathroom and Master bedroom. I love the huge garage space with great wet bay and hook-ups. I agree the front storage seems cramped but I can see how that would work for a picnic table or similar item for easy access.

[@MattsRVReviewsTowables]

Thanks so much CHris!

[@ideasboutique]

I love the upper areas being places where you sit and lay down so you don't always need the headroom, and I love the bathroom and living room layouts. I also love the back storage area for the pull-out tray and amount of storage area. Love the new idea of going into further detail, I'd rather have more information than too little. No dislikes except the awkward storage space up front.

[@MattsRVReviewsTowables]

Thank you so so much

[@SpykersB]

Any manufacturers 5th wheel with a front living room always has a small front storage. Noticed that three years ago. 🍻

[@ideasboutique]

@@SpykersB I wonder why that is, the floor is elevated...

[@SpykersB]

@@ideasboutiqueI don’t know why 🤷🏻‍♀️, they all seemed to build similar because they all do it. No doubt It’s kinda bizarre, being that it’s either been a bed room or a living room up front, but when I was looking for a 5th wheel back then, I saw a lot of trailers in person, and consistently saw a smaller cargo area every time there was a front living room. But with Kitchens upfront, I didn’t see enough to notice, as they were rare then. 🍻

[@laurag5583]

Are you seriously in VA? at the Ashland store? If you were there on Wednesday 4/21, we drove right by you on our way from Northern VA to NC! I pretended to be waving hello to you as we passed. How cool if you really were there!

[@jcferg3370]

But Will, the chicken tenders are sooooo good! 😂

[@Ken-rr9zr]

Wish they made the living room smaller and the kitchen bigger

[@tchrof6th]

Uggg #3 lol 😂 I’m slippin’

[@MattsRVReviewsTowables]

LOL

[@cnetate]

Nice rig! I'd rather have the couch on the opposite side so you can look out of the window when you're not watching TV. Decent water capacity but I'd like a little more but will stick with a toyhauler until these regular 5th wheels get more. The bathroom is awesome! Be nice if it had a dishwasher.

[@vivienneclark-nicholson]

Oh ok i hear price.thank you

[@tp0376]

Stop putting 2 doors in these bathrooms

[@MattsRVReviewsTowables]

I know right!

[@aaronhendrickson]

One thing you said, once you got Will on payroll, you'll be able to show how it looks with the slide outs in.

[@ctrongful]

It's a split level!

[@RICHOLIVER1963]

Call the manufacturer there was a Big Crack on the back of that RV LOL

[@grambothelegend7388]

My wife and I put a long tape measurement on this model and it is not 37’ 11” as advertised. That may be the length from pin to rear but if you are in a situation where accuracy matters for length (like storage) you’d better measure from nose to rear of the ladder. It’s way beyond 37’ 11”!

[@pattijohnson8197]

I love the new living room set up but you can't see the TV from the kitchen. I like someone's suggestion of 2 TVs. I dislike 2 doors in the bathroom. Other than that it's really nice!

[@amaddox65]

Love this rig, my only dislike is when is Grand Design gonna start installing the whisper quiet air in these higher end units.

[@cindydegraaff5083]

Like the more in depth reviews, missed you going up on the roof. Loved this unit, but did it have a closet just inside the bedroom door? Or storage under the bed? Because if so, you guys missed those.

[@MattsRVReviewsTowables]

Thank you for the input!

[@tchrof6th]

I’m doing the Dislikey first! Matt, hun, you definitely scared me, I hope you didn’t show that ladder move to Andrea! Be careful of yourself please! All those slide outs, yes more room but just too many, lastly, that TV needs a remote and I would hope it has one ☝️ Likey: That Matt didn’t fall, that beautiful color palette 🎨, also, that kitchen WOW 🤩, and lastly that bay! That is some nice hauling space for bikes, kayaks, and anything else big. This would be for those of us who have a second level kind of entertainment thinking (not adventurous and older). Breakfast bar for the kids! Woohoo! That’s 4 oops 😬

[@nolagunguy]

Having 4 kids...definitely need the sleeping. Unfortunately, I'm sure i'd need at least an f350 to pull it and not the 250 i'm planning to buy soon.

[@MattsRVReviewsTowables]

Yes this is a big one

[@Flower--qg2ry]

Try a F450. You know you want it

[@davidoverholt251]

Needs a bumper step in the back!

[@richardsmith1966]

You two have done that with getting on the latter before matt

[@davidoverholt251]

Love Will, but love Andrea Matt! You need to make enough money to have both of them on the videos with you ! (LOL)

[@engineeringVirtue]

Very similar to imagine 3100rd, but has more storage, slides, better appliances, and built in washer/dryer. Unfortunately, I think id prefer it as a reflection travel trailer...is there anything close?

[@darrenwarren1730]

1. Don’t like there is not a double vanity. 2. GD needs to go with Coleman or whisper quite AC. I have a GD and the AC is so loud. The kitchen area is small and would go with a residential fridge. Otherwise I like everything else.

[@maddog48froggy]

Does not have king bed. How about talking about the type of hitches that can be installed. Which tires do you not like?

Hi Matt and Will! OMG! He's going up!! Oh Andrea probably would have stopped you on that one! Be careful with those and like Will said, "Lay off the chicken tenders"!🐔 Absolutely Nobody! 🤭"A cool down after 🧗‍♂️" kind of skip!🤭 😊1.Two AC( or 3) units/Solar/ back up camera prep/awesome rear storage with sliding tray! 2.Great,well thought of entertainment center with awesome (theater) seats facing the TV/ ceiling height/ Great kitchen appliances with huge island-great cabinetry-window(and LED) light/updated design/very cool flip up counter top! 3.An abundance of storage/ Spacious bedroom/Bathroom (W/D prep) -Spacious shower for Will and perfect toilet position! 🤔1. Needs more access to counter space . 2. Some twisties/needs more awning. 3. Impossible to have access to the refrigerator.

What rig do you guys use ? Do you have favorite park or area?

[@4everlandrv988]

When were you in Richmond again?

Could put right foot in right side door cil and the left on rear rather than ladder stunt. Don't hurt Wills back.

PPP? With the doors closed? Not sure

[@MattsRVReviewsTowables]

Maybe I missed it! But it seemed good to me at the time

[@markreams3192]

If you ever fall on your ass, climbing those ladders are you going to edit it out of the video?😂 Josh the RV nerd goes on the roof in his reviews. I would like to see 12 volt compressor refrigerators offered in this fifth wheel. When offered in other RVs it comes with a solar package. These refrigerators cool fast and they don’t have to be level to operate.

[@MattsRVReviewsTowables]

LOL If I ever fall I am leaving it in the video.... If I live :)

[@lisakourkafas6410]

Andrea's going to be mad

[@dontfencemein-rving7439]

I don't have three dislikes. So I will have to make something up. Dislikes: #1 Not a fan of the flip up counter extension on this one. #2 I felt the drawers to the side of the bed were awkward to get to. #3 No outside kitchen. With all of the rear cargo storage that would have been the perfect area for an outside kitchen. Maybe something like the Leprechaun 319MB where a kitchen slides out. Likes: #1 That front reverse living room won me over. I love the two front theater seats facing in with the Televator and fireplace. #2 Phenomenal rear storage. #3 Kitchen cabinetry. Fantastic space and pantries. SMH!: #1 That huge large rear storage is nice but I feel it could have been utilized better. Like I said there's no outside kitchen and it has plenty of space.

[@ninagink5666]

Why is it that most if not all RV have such dark interior colors?

[@vivienneclark-nicholson]

Why dont you give price

[@kathypetering3303]

Like: shower (wow!), seating, windows. Dislike: instead of a mirror would like to have another tv for those at the dinette or in the kitchen, all the steps, bed seemed narrow (was it a queen?).

[@Blackshirtsguru]

Hard pill to swallow when a towable costs as much as a Class A RV

[@marcamusprime9513]

Don't break stuff

[@barbbee5444]

Hope the island is reinforced not to fall through.

[@mrziggy2939]

4th/5th dislike: No stinky slinky bumper, as bottom step of that ladder too. Front camp side bay could have been outdoor kitchen, is by bathroom so could have plumbed sink. Dinette slide could have tv pre-installed. Gerard awning(s), 15 foot wide and roof mounted? Solar prep, at least? Like the island, overall, as not too big, not too small; still have decent prep space with one sink bowl covered. Might have been better as peninsula, keeping taco bar with 3 drawers, and having flip up breakfast bar on dinette side. Stool storage uses space of lost 3 drawers. Front windshield nice, with keeping some storage there too. No carpet flush slides. Did not see floor heat ducts either

[@laurafernandez8281]

The only thing that I dont like is the island They could have either not have it or made it a peninsula

[@judithmoore7892]

I actually don’t like the TV dividing the living room from the kitchen. Don’t like that windshield window. I don’t want a windshield in my living room -not homelike.
