This is my favorite layout, as a family of 6 looking to maybe full-time in the future. I've seen this layout modified before, where those 2 recliners are replaced with a desk, and the whole living area slide is fitted with a long sofa. Definitely would be more ideal for a family who needs the space to have some schooling going on, and the space would feel a bit bigger without the booth sticking out, plus you eliminate the sight line issue while fitting the whole family on a couch together.
The bunkhouse is definitely the major selling point on this one. It's basically an entire room for play, school work, or even just alone time for the kids in their own bunks, plus it has its own bathroom. Definitely would be great to have that distance between the kids' room and the main bedroom; it's further than what we currently have in our normal house!
For anyone complaining about counter space for things like a coffee pot, there is an outdoor kitchen he skipped over that is fairly large and would be perfect for things like that.
I really enjoy your videos. One thing I’d like to hear about when you review RV’s is the size of their tanks.
I Love this floor plan. I own this floor plan!! Wouldn’t change a thing!! With 3 kids and 2 good size dogs, all the kids can bring a friend and we still have room. Absolutely love it!!
Floor plan is really nice they could have used a lower faucet and it would work just fine
This is my favorite floor plan for our family of four (two teens) because it offers a couch spot for all four family members in the living room area and also a large private space in the huge back bunkhouse and the extra half bath w separate entrance. My kids hated having to sit at the dinette to watch tv w us in the old RV, so the way Jayco gave this 375 living room space the two couches and big private space that is at the opposite end of our room is as close to perfect that we could find. My biggest complaint is there isn’t much cabinet space or pantry space in the kitchen area, so you have to keep dishes and some food in the “living room” cupboards. I also love the huge closet in the master and the bathroom. Again, it is a little cramped in the living room, but for all the pros they were able to accomplish w the layout, I’ll live with being a little tight in the living room. Two thumbs up from our big family
I agree, it seems like the floor plan was devised by committee on Zoom or something...
I live full time in my 5th wheel, remodeling to accommodate new appliances so I enjoy watching the videos. Gives me some great ideas. The kitchen island is an easy fix, a drop down faucet. Or even remove the recliner near the main door.
We’ve been full timing in that unit the last two years. The biggest complaint I have is that the windows aren’t on the camp side.
John 257wby didn’t even notice that! Thanks for pointing that out.
We’ve been in ours for two years too! Totally agree! That’s our biggest complaint on our 2017 model. What year is yours?
Younger Every Day - RV Living Tips & Adventures. We also have the 2017 model.
I really appreciate your honest reviews.
Great video,
They make so many models and floor plans that just about anyone can find what they are looking for these days. I’m impressed with the new colours they are incorporating into these units now.
Very impressive!
NICE bunkhouse layout - easily converted to a nice office space. Nice upgrades on the suspension and auto leveling. NICE bathroom. Walk in closet rocks!!
Great review, a really nice looking unit!
I love this floor plan! Family of 5, would be an awesome fit
Yeah that's basically a Open range 427 floor plan With a twist. I dig it... I just bought a 2018 427. Absolutely love it. do wish it had a rack slide on the big slide over the cable... but it gets the job done. For this rig the front ac not being a wispier quiet would be a deal breaker.
My Wife and I are shopping for a 5th wheel Camper to live full time in when she retires. We really like the tips you share with us on 5th wheel Campers. We are looking for over 40' to tow with a F450 DRW 6.7 Diesel when we buy it. We like the Front Kitchen since it's just the 2 of us keep the Videos coming
Another great video. Thanks for showing it
Compared to my (10+ year old) narrow body Fun Finder, they all look like paradise to me.
That one is really nice. It has a couple draw backs. One you pointed out and one I'm surprised you missed and was my pet peeve on my 2007 I had. That is the inability to walk around the bed in the master suite.
My 2017 Chaparral I can walk around the bed.
One other thing you pointed out was the exterior finish. That's nice being white, my peeve on my Chaparral is it's tan and I'm having trouble with the finish dulling. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about that yet.
My hands down favorite layout is the Keystone Montana 377FL. It has a real nice loft, drivers side door to access the rear bedroom and restroom when the slides are closed. Just excellent all the way around. Please JD, review one of these. I'd like your take on it.
That would be a great unit for me and my family. We are in our second travel trailer now and have yet to have a television in one so the faucet is not a problem for us. Downside is I can't haul a fifth wheel with my excursion.
Maybe switch the dining table spot with couch or recliners and even that would have helped
Yes yes yes. .wow I'm confused..
I like when he says “rack and pinion”.
That’s a decent setup. The only thing I would change would be a dual propane electric fridge. We like to boondock and having a residential fridge takes up a ton of power. We have a friend who has something like this. He has a ton of solar and battle born batteries so it’s no big deal for them.
Hey brother. The title says, "Jayco North Port." Just lookin' out for you, JD. 😎
This one is very nice and has a lot of features I do like. Thing I would probably change would be moving the half bath towards the rear and moving that one slide up or possibly making it one slide in itself having the fridge located on it, that would move the TV and fireplace towards where the fridge used to be....maybe? just a suggestion...🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I like the floorplan. Maybe if you could uninstall or have a factory option for the faucet to be a snake style hose and not that giant u shape. That would eliminate the ickiness, because it is the elephant in the room
Not only the faucet, but also the distance from those theater seats to the smallish TV.
Great review
The bathroom and that Bunkhouse make up a lot for that kitchen I like it. Cool
You can overlook the TV placement if, like my family, everyone is normally on their own devices most of the time anyway (either phone or laptop). Another possibility is to create an arm that can articulate enough to reposition the TV for better viewing angles. The last option would be to have more monitors near each seating area, like airplanes, so that everyone can see regardless of seating position.
Otherwise, the floorplan has many pluses compared to other bunkhouses, i.e. more privacy for bunk occupants and quick access to the half bath anytime.
Good points all. I also think this is targeted toward the idea that the kitchen is often the social gathering place of a house and they intentionally are making the TV a secondary focus, maybe for a young millenial family who doesn't watch much TV anyway as you said.
We have the 2017 version of this model, and our faucet is shorter, so viewing isn’t a problem.
Did you forget to look at the outdoor kitchen or is it storage? Move the fridge to where the oven and microwave are. Move the oven to where the TV is and move the TV to where the fridge was. Put storage shelves behind the TV.
It's pretty nice. I imagine something like that in the 30' length range would seem pretty cramped. I'm new to rv's but it seems alot of campgrounds have a limit on length.
I almost considered this floor plan but my biggest stumbling block was all the windows on the sewer side of the RV. Jayco should have flipped the floor plan and put the window blocking part of the RV...fridge, microwave, etc on the sewer side and given more windows on the camping side.
Jayco is the best RV brand all around in my opinion especially for travel trailers
If we could make changes with regards to plumbing restrictions would be replace the bunks to a single bunk across the back with dresser space underneath and place a gaming area shared with the half bath across from the jayco seats. Possibly enabling you to rearrange the kitchen and tv. I’m seeing those sensors in newer units, what are they? Also, the drain pipe seems really close to the ground.
ow and no preproom of room for a coffeepot in kitchen
The easy fix for the kitchen would be replace the faucet with a low profile, but the entire area is something me and the wife are trying to get away from, and we need a toy hauler but they are like this floor plan where they stuff the kitchen and living room together.
Totally agree on the placement of the TV & seating; in addition the 2 seats in the bunk house are awesome but again the placement with the TV is odd
I love this video this RV is awesome I love the island in the middle this is a gorgeous RV everything is perfect very unique set up very roomy I just love the floor plan awesome
I like this unit a lot i have 3 kids and the bunk house with its half bath to me is perfect. yeah the TV placement could have been better but I doubt it would be to inconvenient each room has a TV so that would help....
I agree with your assessment on this one. Curious about your thoughts and to get some review perspectives on the new Ford 7.3L truck and using it to pull something like this but maybe a little smaller in the 12-13K range.
My option is the floor plan is good, does that unit have an outside kitchen area? I have to say we hardly even used out kitchen inside the unit and use out current outside kitchen and camp chef 90 outside, wonder if there are enough of us out there where a vendor puts out a floor plan that puts the living room/rainy game area ahead of the kitchen. I am sure only people that have been rving for years and are in our situation would even consider it and all the people that reviewed it would complain.
I may have missed what you doing for an RV now days, but knowing what you said when you sold you last one as to what you liked, have you ever looked at a Forest River Wildcat 382mb. Love ours, our friends love it so much they bought one too. Check it out, best kitchen I've seen, especially in a mid bunk.
I've had this floor plan for a few years now. Living room tv placement has never been a complaint but I feel like either I'm taller or my faucet is lower. Mine is a 2014 model
I like that unit only thing like you said just change the faucet and it’s the perfect unit that we are looking for!
We have the 2017, and its faucet is shorter, totally resolving the viewing issues. Also, it has more storage above the couch, a cabinet beside the master bed, and more space above the cabinets over the recliners. I love the cabinets above the living room TV in this one and plan to build some in ours and post it on our channel.
Looks great for a 4-6 person family but living space needs about an extra 3-4 feet for kitchen cabinets and countertops
It's kind of cool but certainly be handy when the grandkids came over
I really like that bunk house and half bath, the full bath, and I don’t mind the front bed room. That main living area tho, idk how to redo it, but I’d scrap that and start over
Its one of the few floor plans have i have seen where somthing isn't obstructed when all the beds are in use i think from looking at it you could replace the faucet with a lower profile if you made it 6 inches shorter it probably be out of the way even if your reclined
Idea 💡
Maybe put out a video explaining the difference between different leveling systems? Slide systems? I know you've done tires and suspension and fifth wheel vs gooseneck. Thanks really enjoy your reviews 😀
According to the Jayco website, this model is being discontinued. Available as dealer stock only.
Have you sent the Lance 2185 Bunkhouse? I think it would be cool to mesh that style Bunkhouse (bathroom included) into the rear of a 5th wheel. Would be able to spend more square footage in the living room (like the layout you put together) while still giving you enough space for 3 bunks, full bath and outside access for loading bikes, etc.
Thoughts?
Maybe a floor plan change to move the Dinette to where the recliners are, as that would require some major changes by the manufacturer? I understand and you mention that this kind of change would not be an easy after thought change.
It’s perfect 😍
I think I know why your confused. Is it because Jayco doesn't make a 375BHSF? They do make a 375BHFS. Accuracy matters. Secondly did you bother to see if the tv is on a swing arm? Jayco does tend to do this in this sort of arrangement and help to eliminate that concern. I do appreciate the the walkthroughs you and others do. It gives people a good idea of what's available. Keep it up!
My only issue is the placement of the television.
it needs more cabinetry in the middle... more pantry space for sure. but, very likable fifth wheel.
Just doesn’t seem to be much space to move around in the living area. Especially with a bunkhouse this unit is meant for a large family. I also noted the sewer line from the front bath hangs very low and could be prone to getting damaged.
As a family of 6 with four kids who love to start unexpected dance parties in the living and kitchen, I can attest to the fact that there’s plenty of room in this model. We have the 2017 version and love it! I have wondered about the low sewer up front, but we’ve been in ours for two years and haven’t had a single problem going coast-to-coast.
Flip the TV and fridge locations! And go with a 10cf 12 v compressor fridge.
Have a tracks in the floor that you can move your island down once you get your side out you release one hand on wheels on the other end on the floor track but you just slide over when you’re at your Destiination and lock it down.That’s about the only change I would make. It be crowded for much more than about four kids.
Not a bad Layout. but I really like layouts with a dinette in the bunkhouse such as Milestone 386bh with a rear bath.
Not enough counter space for prep and small portable appliances....that’s the number one issue I have with this unit. I also agree with another comment about the camp side windows. This just seems more like a sleeping coach than a all around living/camping coach.
If you want a camp side window look for a mid bunk most have big windows. The living room is in the back with a room in the middle and a loft on top and the master up front
I would put the refrigerator where the entertainment center is, and place the entertainment center where the refrigerator is, and put cabinets extra space in the wall behind the fridge in the bunkhouse, and put the half-bath in the very back of the RV.
Edit: that is all I would change. Everything else is fine
Kitchen/living is to much toy hualer like. I do like the whisper quiet in the living and the "noisy" AC I the bedroom.
I'm sorry to say, I'm Brazilian and Jayco's engineers, this time they slipped badly, to say nothing else ... I would have eliminated the "WC" in the back room and would have enlarged the kitchen to not have that kind of thing, like the faucet and the sink in the middle of the field of view of the best accents. In the near future, I intend to import a 5th wheel to Brazil, model Jayco EAGLE 355MBQS. In my opinion one of Jayco's best plants. A plant that I like a lot is also the NORTH POINT 377RLBH. Americans do not know how lucky they are that they were not born in Brazil, the taxes charged on the import of certain goods, are almost the value of the imported product and the product cannot be used, it has to be new. To give you an idea, the value to import a 5th wheel in taxes is 70% of the value of the product, apart from other values charged on import, with: transport, documents and clearances. The idea of importing a 5th wheel to Brazil and transporting it from the USA is not bad, but in Brazil this is prohibited, there would be no way to register and document this import, so I have to follow a whole bureaucracy to import one 5th wheel here.
I think they definitely missed the mark on TV placements. There's the faucet view in the living room, and the TV/ gaming chairs in the bunkhouse should really be facing the TV directly
What is the story with three TV's? In part, my family and I go camping to get away from the TV and to experience a new place. Do other people really watch that much TV when camping/touring?
This “gaming chairs” in the bunk were silly to us. We bought the version with a sofa sleeper in there, but they also offer a bottom bunk with a trundle option as well. We put our youngest’s bed in that space.
@@YoungerEveryDay that sounds a lot better than those chairs. Enjoy your beautiful camper! I'll never be able to own one but i love looking at them.
@@rossbagley9015 maybe they're good for more long term trips. I don't own one and never will, but i tend to look at them as homes, not just vacation campers. But you're right, if I'm going camping I'd spend less time watching TV than at home.
If they had moved the TV to the top of the entertainment center (next to the ceiling), they could have move the cabinets that are currently up at the top down to where the TV is. Then, the water faucet wouldn't block your view of the TV.
Love it but not enough counter space
I agree they could have taken some space off the HUGE bunkhouse and resituated the half bath to open up the main living space.
Change out the hi rise fauset for a shorter one with a pull spray/strait stream head.
I would have liked to have seen the rest of the outside compartments. I'm guessing the one on the bunk slide was an outside kitchen? I have a 2012 Forest River Wildcat with almost an identical floor plan. My island is on wheels though and stores in the back bunk during travel.
I have a unit like this just different colors, the bunk is on top of the outdoor kitchen. I would recommend it it’s really good.
Swap location of stovetop and sink?
I would pull the movie seating and relocate the sink to that wall opening up the main living area... But, there is just 2 of us plus the pups
I would put the sofa where the both is then put the recliners where the sofa is. Then put a two person free standing table and chairs where the recliners are
I would probably replace the island sink's faucet with one that is not so tall.
howdy there, just a question I am looking at a 2014 Tesla 3950, yes I know they are no longer in business but have liked the look of them since they came out. yes this will be my 4th 5th wheel and I started RVing in 1978. that aside should I go fo it or stick to a used Momentum of another uperend Toy hauler. and yes it will be full time living. part of me says the Tesla and the other part says no. I know the appliances etc are still manufactured. my last one was a 1998 King of the Road 40' 5th wheel witch I bought in 2008 and keep it for 8 years.
You could always change out the kitchen faucet fixture if you really want to watch TV from the furthest seating position,,,,,
Only thing they need to do in the kitchen is get a faucet that's not so tall and have a pull out sprayer for tall stuff or make it fold down
They should've swapped them recliner chairs for a counter/storage area or even a closet.
Why didn’t they switch the TV & fridge locations?
Remove the faucet and put a lower profile one that in on a hose to spray or potfill. Bedroom is too cramped. A queen size bed would give some inches. In our 5th wheel we changed from queen to full and don't have a problem sleeping and gained needed room on the side of the bed. I can't imagine ten people in the unit even if it was all one family.
Wish I lived there so I could buy that ,in my dreams
@grandpa5x Pulliam yes just not like that something like that around were I live would like$100,000easy
I keep looking to see if I can ever see a better unit than what I have. (2017 Cougar 33FLS front living 5th wheel) So far nothing has peaked my interest. I can not understand this unit with the TV positioned where it is. The lack of storage space in the kitchen as well as minimal counter space. Why do these companies think we don't need counter space or a place to hang coats and put shoes. AND don't get me started on how there us no nightstands, my husband has a sleep apnea machine so it would be nice. I have to put my book on the floor or get out of my cozy bed to put it on the dresser.
This Second bathroom sucks for small families like mine! For me working remotely, traveling with my wife and baby that would be perfect floor plan without second bathroom. I would put fridge in place of recliners and get rid of them permanently. I would swap kitchen table with sofa. In front of sofa TV as it is now but without second bathroom. I bet that would be best selling floor plan for small families that need two big bedrooms with workspace. So many good floor plans on the market that are ruined by second bathroom. Will industry finally come out with good two big bedrooms with enough space for office space?
I would want more defined areas for living room and kitchen. If it means losing some space in the bunkhouse, then so be it.
For a family sized RV the kitchen is just way too small. Not being able to open the fridge with the slide in is a dealbreaker too. I do however really like the light and dark cabinetry.
If I did want a toyhauler and the TV in living room wasn't where it is I'd like this one
Would it be feasible or at all a possibility to swap the oven and sink so you don’t have the faucet In the island blocking your view? Even if not I’m in the “I love too much about this layout to let the island bug me” camp. Really like your videos.
Good ole Jayco with their signature low cargo weight ratings.
What change would make it Ideal for our family is to remove those 2 chairs and put lower cabinets with more counter space. The likelihood of needing that many seats in the living area would be low for our family. The kids wouldn’t leave the bunkhouse,
If u can find one can u view 2010 Forest River cedar creek Bunk house Cottage 10th anniversary?
Somehow I can’t get around that faucet blocking part of the tv, maybe they could of used a shorter faucet? Otherwise a different layout would be more costly?
Youre right. Switch the tv and fridge. Move the 1/2 bath. And why put an exit door right by what will probably be a kids room? I have safety issues with that for sure. I realize its nice to have a quick way to get to the bathroom from outside, but still. Is it worth endangering a kid?? (What im thinking mostly about is a stranger gaining access and the adults too far away from the situation)
Looking over the faucet would be a bit of a problem as well as the position of the tv. Other than those love this unit.
What were the two doors on the campsite? Outside kitchen?
I would have removed the bunkhouse bath. Made the wall flat where the tv is. Moved the dinette to where the theater seats are. The moved the theater seats to where the dinette is.
Like the bunkhouse, which I would make part of it into an office, like the master bedroom and the bath. I don't like the kitchen area layout. Seems like when you enter the rig, it is a very tight area to maneuver around with the recliners being right there. There is very minimal storage in the kitchen. For a rig this long, I expect more kitchen storage and countertop area. Not a fan of this 5th wheel.
The first thing you did, made me think, now here is someone who knows his schtuff. Pointing out that it is a Dually trailer. When you pointed out the GVWR, I said too big for my F350, then you said, you need a dually, and I was DING we have a winner. Way too many oh your truck can tow this just fine sales people out there.
Now the floor plan. I guess it depends on what you are doing. If on a vacation, screw the TV, get out and enjoy nature, BUT if you full time and live in it, that is a different story. Very few floor plans have a comfortable seating arrangement with this type of layout, at least several positions are neck crane territory. This one isn't as bad as others, and if the faucet was changed out to a shorter one, then it wouldn't bother many people. I like the bunk. There are way too many bunkhouse that only have upper bunks, and when older people are camping with you, for example, my 79 YO mother comes with us when we camp, and there are very few that have a low bunk that she can get in and out of, and have three actual bunks. Majority have two uppers and an uncomfortable jackknife. This one has three regular bunks, one being low down, but not on the floor low either, which is another complaint I have on some. Having a half bath by the bunks is one feature I like, and the front full bath isn't two door like on some models, I like that it is separated from the master bedroom. There are more positives that outweigh the negatives, just too bad my SRW won't tow it, 3K heavier than it can handle.
I like how you made the disclaimer about needed a dually. The things we have to do to satisfy some whiney people. I have started adding to things I repost of facebook that I did not fact check and do mot have a degree on the topic. I had a few people jumping on me because a repost was not factually correct in their opinion. Just tell them to F off and carry on. I like the way you give your opinion on what is best. You obviously have a lot more knowledge on towing and trailers than most. Thanks for the videos and your opinion.
Could the dinner exchange places with the two recliners?
