RV Tour: 2019 Grand Design 380FL (Brand New MUST SEE Floorplan!)

[@Tanacarroll]

So nice. I love the central vac and the nightstands no matter the size of the bedroom. Those little things count so much.

[@gregscrbacic1261]

forgot to mention, keep up the great vids. We are planning on going full time and are newbies and you have helped us a lot

[@heellover9939]

Only behind a Montana 3810MS. That is a super nice rigg. You can never go wrong with something that beautiful.

[@GetawayCouple]

That's very true! Not only is it beautiful, but it's built really well 👍

[@mbmike29]

I'm very happy to see the final product. When my wife and I went on our GD factory tour they were building three of these so I got a sneak peak. Thanks for the video!

[@GetawayCouple]

That's really cool! We did a factory tour as well and it was so interesting to see how our rigs our made!

Nice walk through...always nice to see the new model year innovations. Thanks for sharing.

[@GetawayCouple]

You're welcome! And thank YOU for the kind words 😊

[@lisaw1085]

So great to see that wonderful under storage with a 1 1/2 bath floor plan! That was my wish. I also really like the new styling of seating in the living room, right down to the middle arm rest and the new placement of controllers. I think this is the “One” 😊

[@GetawayCouple]

Right!? We love the 1/2 bath that they added in this one too. Let us know if you end up going with this model! We'll have to stop by to hang out in it 😉

[@molson886]

We're getting ready to go full time by next year (2020). We're at Cattail cove right now. Lake Havesu.

[@RamblinRoadies]

Glad to see you guys back on track. I too have RV envy now.

[@GetawayCouple]

Thanks, Frank! And sorry for the envy, but if we have to experience it then you have to as well lol 😉

[@joeofallthings7403]

What a beautiful RV! Grand Design seems like a great manufacturer.

[@GetawayCouple]

We definitely love them!

[@larryvassar542]

We ordered ours and will be full time in it can't wait. Lots of space and my wife likes the 1/2 bath to keep me out..

[@GetawayCouple]

Congratulations!! I'm sure you're going to LOVE it! The half bath is so neat!

[@tammiecarbohn6796]

LOVE,❤️ LOVE this model! And far cheaper than DRV

[@gregscrbacic1261]

Just wish they would get rid of the plastic sinks in bathrooms and upgrade the counter tops. Felt cheap when we saw them at the Hershey show.

[@angelinehill2181]

I agree about the counter tops in the bathroom. Would love if they matched the kitchen. Any idea if there are outlets in the storage areas?

[@Tanacarroll]

Wow guys! I love this one. We looked at a Montana that had a full MB with a bathtub in the front. I really like this one better. Love the W/D and the color of furniture and trim. I know why you both liked it so well. We do too! ☀️

[@leonardmarlborough5587]

Beautiful rig!

[@gillsonwheels]

So cool, we met Rob at the RV show where we bought our Solitude! He was super nice and very helpful!

[@lisacondon]

We just ran into Rob Groover at the Hershey RV show and told him how much we enjoyed your video with him!

[@GetawayCouple]

Aww, thank you, Lisa! How did you like the RVs at the show?

[@damainkerek810]

WOW!! That is really well done.

[@GetawayCouple]

Thank you!

[@brianlex1479]

Wow they combined a 373 and a 375 to make a asome rig

[@GetawayCouple]

Yes, that's the perfect way to describe it!

[@jamesfischer9002]

This is a great floorplan but will be overweight before you put anything in it. They need either a third axle or 8k lb axles.

[@59Alaskan]

Can you show the bed more, headboard/window area and closet!!..please. Less bathroom more kitchen..would be great!!

[@Carol-tq1fb]

Wow, that is a super nice trailer. You did a very nice job showing all the nice things in the trailer also. Love the slide out storage too. Thanks for sharing.

[@GetawayCouple]

You're welcome! We loved this model too!

[@toddbennett3335]

Thanks for the tour. I’m pretty sure this is the one for us.

[@thedayofquicksilver6930]

Why does the host look like he witnessed Little Boy drop in Horosma? 😂

[@ricks.5313]

Oh my you weren't kidding about the 380FL!!!! oh my.... decisions decisions..... 375RES or 380FL.... oh my oh my....... love the bathroom!!!!!!

[@GetawayCouple]

We loved the bathroom too! You have to check this rig out in person once they're on dealers lots. Let us know which one you end up picking!!

[@garthnok]

I Just wanted to come back and say thank you for this review. I was just about to put an order in for the 375RES when I saw this video. We waited and checked it out at the Pomona Road Show. It’s awesome and we ordered one, although it loses some storage underneath, the bathroom is awesome for someone tall. Supposed to be here by end of December beginning of January. We can’t wait to start full time RV living.

[@GetawayCouple]

Ah, that's so exciting!! We can't wait to see our first 380 on the road, maybe it will be you guys!

[@AngelaRPierce]

I think your model has a better layout than the 380FL. I wish they made the 375RES with a half bath.

[@dbutler27]

Yea, you are not kidding about RV Envy, we are moving back into our Cyclone, and seeing this has me real jelly, don't want the wife to see it...lol, thanks for sharing...GO HAWKS!

[@GetawayCouple]

lol it had us pretty jelly too! Maybe you and the wife should go see it in person when it starts to hit dealers? 😉 Go Hawks!!

[@sharonrafter9534]

Dave - Butler GO HAWKS! 💙💚

[@erhodes352]

I love the master bath and outside storage. Having the 1/2 bath is very nice. This is a great floor plan but it wouldn’t work with our kiddos. Maybe once they are out on their own.

[@theresatom4807]

We have 3 kids and we have the 375 res....they sleep on the two fold out couches which turn into 2 queens....we did not want a bunk house....this floor plan will work with kids and so does the 375 res

[@dangell8984]

You would think with an MSRP of $90K to $100K, that it would come with a stackable washer/dryer. I know of cheaper models that do come with them. But it is beautiful!

[@ReflectedMiles]

I was thinking that sound structural and thermal engineering would be useful, but I know that doesn't happen at this size in this price range, either. Aesthetics are a lot less expensive and lighter.

[@erikcarlson1562]

Great interviews! Keep them coming... you are a delightful couple...

[@GetawayCouple]

Thank you so much!

[@Damon1915]

Great tour! Amazing layout! Love the sunken tub

[@GetawayCouple]

Us too! It would be perfect for washing our doggo in.

[@tnfatbelly]

I think saying “sunken tub” was a bit of a stretch. For kids and animals, sure. But I couldn’t lie down and take a bath there. Way too shallow. There are a few motorcoaches and even a few travel trailers with real, deep jetted tubs nowadays, too. Love it!

[@scottturner6975]

Thanks for the tour! Hopefully they will have this at the Hershey RV Show this week so I can see one for myself. Keep up the great work!

[@GetawayCouple]

You're welcome! I believe they are going to have this model there, let us know what you think!

[@scottturner6975]

Yes this model was at the Hershey show. I liked the bathroom and bedroom, but thought the kitchen was small (at least for my liking). One thing I noticed on several of their models is the seating at the dining table was tight. Do you guys have any issue with this seating?

[@kathyhutchison1947]

And how about the option of light or white wood.

[@Quentindanieljones]

I would live in this for life! Just wish I could 😔😢

[@linds1718]

If only they did sliding doors on the tub shower. That would have been perfect. I hate curtains in small spaces.

[@ronhumphrey5490]

Nice! The only thing missing is an outdoor kitchen. Is that an option?

[@Top_Dawg360]

I have some constructive criticism, most rv's I see with a slide out queen bed in the master bedroom, have windows to the left and right side of the slideout so the person can til their head and see outside, also open it for airflow. I do't see that in the Grand Design rv's though.

[@scottn2526]

I love the GD floor plans. but the A/C (which is blatantly obviously running ) is way too noisy. I am leaning toward a Keystone just for the whisper quiet air.

[@coldsteel86]

Scott N we also have a Grand Design 369rl. And the ac is brutal. Noisy and works very hard to keep the unit cool. After a year of having it. The front cap started fading. We called GD, and they didn’t want to hear from us.

[@GetawayCouple]

Yeah, our mic was obviously picking up the A/C in this video but that's to be expected. Personally, we don't mind our unit and never notice when it's on. We still watch movies and go about our day with it on and it hasn't been a problem.

[@Top_Dawg360]

@Eric Sanchez what do you mean its built better? Sorry, im new to rv's.

[@thomasdipaolo2349]

Very nice rig and walk thru

[@GetawayCouple]

Thanks! We definitely loved this rig too.

[@robrob31295]

Wow...has everything we would love to have...100k 🙃🤗💞

[@GetawayCouple]

We got 28% off MSRP on our rig, so I'm sure you could get a good chunk taken off that 100K price tag you're seeing. We did make a video on how to get the best deal on a new RV if you're interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZCri6J8aL16nK8

[@susanf9862]

Wow!... The Southwest RV Super Show will be here in Dallas later this week. I'll be looking for this model!

[@GetawayCouple]

Let us know if you find it and what you think!

[@susanf9862]

@@GetawayCouple Will do. Take care!

[@dallasnicole5089]

Just amazing!!!

[@waltfore280]

Great video. Nice 5th wheel. We have a 2018 Montana 3730FL, very similar design. The 380's kitchen seems to cramped with the half bath stuck in right by the pantry. Still a nice unit, just not for us. You all be safe. Safe travels. Later

[@GetawayCouple]

Thanks for your input, Walt! It didn't feel cramped when we were in there but I get what you're saying. We were thinking it might be nice to actually turn the pantry into cupboards and expand the counter space next to the stove. Happy travels!

[@carolcunningham]

I agree about the kitchen . With no dishwasher you need the island for dishes. There is very little meal prep space or counter space for appliances you keep out - like a coffee pot. And even if you put them on the hutch countertop where do you plug them in?

[@angelinehill2181]

@@GetawayCouple I agree having the option of the extra counter space and cupboards would be a great option. We just ordered this unit and I asked if there was anyway we could trade out the half bath for another pantry/closet and counter with cupboards...the answer was "No"

[@bigtom2062]

Rob Groover is an awesome guy to work with. Very knowledgeable and if he does not have the answer, he will get it for you... Love our 384GK, but they quit making them.

[@GetawayCouple]

Yes, he is! We really enjoyed spending time with him and learning so much about the Solitude line.

[@terryyoder2807]

2 things, are closet areas in bedroom deep enough for hanging clothes and can you access a bathroom with slides pulled in

[@GetawayCouple]

Hey, Terry! Yes, the closets in the bedroom were deep enough to hang clothes. We didn't get to see this rig with the slides pulled in but I would think you couldn't access a bathroom.

[@MrTimduh]

Love it. Check out HIGHLAND RIDGE OPEN RANGE! par with grand design

[@59Alaskan]

2019? Model number?

[@juansantelices8307]

Were in the process of getting this model, we inspected it a the to Pomona Rv show, signed paper work, NOW is the waiting period,,, 6 to 8 weeks,,,,,

[@GetawayCouple]

So exciting!! The waiting game can be challenging but you're so close! Congrats on getting this beautiful rig and welcome to the GD family!

[@garmo98]

Any reason why the plastic shower curtain instead of doors? It seems so Motel 6ish.

[@GetawayCouple]

Haha, I think it was because a lot of people were complaining about cleaning the tracks in the glass doors. We actually just saw the 380FL again at RVX a month ago and they've since changed from the shower curtain back to glass doors :)

[@hotlavarv1406]

Had to go back and listen to make sure I heard it correct. 12'4" is going to fit the biggest kayaks? Let me know how well your 21' touring kayak fits back there.

[@karengann9615]

What I don't like is that there is no backsplash around the stove and the walls are so close I would be cleaning them all the time

[@kathyhutchison1947]

I would much prefer a skylight than the window that will be covered with bugs or a tv

[@59Alaskan]

Don't make the theater seating a perm fixture. We have a 2016 that the middle can be removed..!!

[@micksmith6690]

Love the 380FL, We currently own a 2018 375RES as well and the issue we are seeing and most concerned about is the suspension and axles. These are large heavy units already then with all the storage it all adds up fast, Have they made any improvements to the axles/ suspension/or tires? This is making us consider trading already.....

[@edwardrogner8707]

Two questions, what is the empty weight of this rig?, what is the hitch weight?

[@jenniferdombkowski7025]

I cannot find a dealer anywhere. Do you know the closet dealer to the Northeast? I live in CT. Thank you

Hey! This link should help, just put in your zip code and it should give you all the nearby dealers www.granddesignrv.com/shopping-tools/find-dealer

Hey! Have you seen their 377 floorplan? Might be perfect for your kiddos! www.granddesignrv.com/showroom/2019/fifth-wheel/solitude/floorplans/377mbs-377mbs-r

[@chadsteele1]

Love the grand designs, hate those kitchen table/sofas. put a booth in, way more comfortable to sit in and usefull with guess, the couch sucks. just an opinion. the trailers overall are top notch.

[@GetawayCouple]

Hey! We don't mind our kitchen table but are planning to change it to a desk area. Sorry to hear you don't like the couches! We don't sit on our couches much but we do love our recliners. Heated seats are the best lol

[@pjt3887]

Can this be year round? Looks like a full time 5th wheel.

[@GetawayCouple]

Yes! This is a four season fifth wheel. All of the Solitudes are four season 😊

[@getcraig55]

Nice, but a bathroom in the kitchen.. freaks me out..

[@MultiRabe]

Lol, some of these Fivers, make my 19ft Class B look like a Smart Car in comparison! That is a really nice rig, but to be honest with you, I like your model better...ok, maybe im just a little biased, but hey, Im cool with that 😂 Great walk-thru for sure, even better presentation! Cheers 👌👍😎✌🏻

[@GetawayCouple]

haha, it's okay, we're biased too. We came back to our RV and rediscovered everything we love about it. But man, the 380FL sure is gorgeous. Thanks, Roberto!

@@GetawayCouple thanks!

[@tori1853]

What kind of frame does it have?

[@ReflectedMiles]

Aluminum in a dissimilar-metals mix with steel and without a thermal break, claiming R values that defy the laws of physics--the usual RV industry routine, unfortunately. I had really been hoping for an engineering design that was seriously grand, but it is far from it.

[@clintontate5260]

The slide out with dining table and chairs looks tight for room . I know its difficult to see on video. What did you think on the room

[@GetawayCouple]

I don't think it's any smaller than our dining room slide in the 375. I think it looked smaller in the video.

[@robertjohnson8942]

They copied the Montana I was looking at the Montana last year , such a copy cat !!

[@59Alaskan]

All manufacturers "copy cat".. GD is better built, so glad they didn't copy cat that!

[@krissto22]

Guys, I have to be honest - I did not like it that much. I think your floorplan is way better and more practical. I would rather see more counter space around the stove than that huge pantry. Something like what you have. Bathroom right off the kitchen, hmm, not liking it. Very tight dinette area. Not much room in the bedroom especially around the bed. Not a fan of super dark wood finishes. Not sure why I would need two sinks in the bathroom about 2 ft. away, Liked the TV room, barn door, shower, storage inside and outside. Sorry guys, but I couldn't get excited about this floorplan. I think GD needs to perfect and improve what they already have rather than try to come up with new floorplan. Good job on the video 👍 Anyway, thanks for this video. Keep them coming and happy trails.

[@GetawayCouple]

Hey, that's okay not to like it! That's why there are a ton of floorplans out there, no everyone is going to like the same one. Rob actually asked us about the counter space as well, since that's something the engineers kept going back and forth on. We advised to expand the countertop and turn the pantry into more cupboards. So we'll see, they might be updating this floorplan in the future! The dinette area felt the same size as ours, so maybe it just looked tighter in the footage? Personally, we liked the double sink since Jason and I can't get ready at the same time in our rig. I'm always putting my makeup on in the bedroom mirror while he's in the bathroom. We originally wanted double sinks, so that bathroom is right up our alley! Plus that giant mirror was to die for. We're also not a fan of the dark wood, but that means you and I are in the minority on that one lol. Anyway, thanks for your input! We always love hearing what people really think. Happy travels!

[@krissto22]

Thanks for your reply 👍Appreciate it.
