okay we're here again at trailer hitch rv in oklahoma california and have a look again at some rvs and give you a few tours okay we're here looking at the solitude 390 rk and uh we're gonna start here in the front and work our way around this is really a fantastic rig starting off with the more ride pin box so it means there's some uh rubber dampers in there make your ride smoother less chucking you come around here into the battery area you see this one has generator prep and i believe all solitudes have generator prep and that looks like uh a battery system so you have room to put batteries in i'm not sure what this jambone is look there's like a solar controller in there so this is prep for solar it appears and up there it looks like there's some uh it's for hydraulic fluid for your hydraulic jacks so not sure if this is full body paint it could be full it looks like maybe full body paint uh with decal stickers it looks like this scent has five slide outs i'll have a double check when we come around and this has uh the drop frame uh so this is just cavernous this opening here is about two feet high about three feet wide at least and goes all the way to the back uh on this side we have our auto level and that's going to be six jacks hydraulic and here's the hose for your water system this is the nautilus water system uh makes it super easy to flush your tanks you know take in fresh water sanitize on and on uh lots of stuff there and uh this is a looks like a fresh water uh filtering system and your gates are opened and pulled here looks like you can put your uh hoses through that hole and keep everything neat and clean and a way to turn off and on your valves as well this also has uh gfi uh outlets here and looks like a port for your satellite dish nice setup the uh the nala system is just super it just makes it super easy to do so much slam latch doors what's neat about this is if you want to come out at night and you need to look at open one door all you got to do is open the one door i'll open it up here for you and now you have access to your water right here so that's neat you don't have to open up both doors to get into that that one needs a little adjustment looks like uh this is gonna be the back of your water heater we'll check and see what the capacity is i'm guessing uh maybe uh eight gallon possibly only six is the back access port to your furnace and this is going to be your 50 amp amp plug this is a 50 amp unit this has the schwintec slide system and this has a rack and pinion system here looks like some sort of a gate valve here i'm not sure what that white handle is try to find out later for you now most if not all the 2021 grand designs are coming with updated suspension from more ride so much better greasable easy to use and maintainable it looks like these tires are cooper tires and nice aluminum rims it looks like they're filled with nitrogen at the moment now all these have painless wind or wind painless windows so it looks very slick real nice you've got some sliding windows here so painless windows all up and down the rig and uh this looks like a uh a dump port for uh gray water this is one of your six jacks here's a dump uh gate for that gray tank flush that we saw below and looks like this thing's gonna be this whole compartment's gonna be heated and this whole rear section opens up hydraulic lifts here holding all these doors open [Music] as you can see it goes all the way to the back this particular door uh is magnetized so as we come around then we have this really neat tray very easy to use and no crawling around to get to anything here so that is just gargantuan this whole area is just the whole rear end probably 10 feet back by eight foot eight foot plus wide and looks like it's uh prepped for rear back up cameras then over here these are piston lift more storage down here gfi plug uh by the way all these lights are gonna be motion sensor lights so you open this up in the middle of the night you're good looks like some sort of a netting back here so if you have something really long you could probably still get it back there but a netting so you have options another gfi plug back here again your upgraded more right suspension and yes it's going to be five slides total again painless windows [Applause] you didn't look at this okay there's a sprayport access you saw that little blue hose you have access to a spray port here plug that in you're good to go and here's the uh passenger side you see how big that door is that is just massive you can put anything in here you can sleep your kids in here so has a battery cut off switch and there's your manual tools and it has a road back vacuum in the house and uh hookups for your cable and satellite another gfi plug and of course your motion uh operated lights and uh this is part of the control for your solar prep there's your cable and this is side two of your propane tanks 30 pound both sides and here's all the apparatus for your hydraulic leveling jacks very nice unit looks just super so we're gonna have a look inside now now that you have seen the lovely outside wait until you see the inside and these steps are very nice and sturdy and a grab handle which is fantastic these are the more right easy steps and when you first walk in there is a whole cabinet with the leveler and i don't know what this is okay that looks like all it's all uh some solar prep stuff and there's probably some uh controls that are on that panel so that's what this is when you first walk in okay and i believe when it's plugged in they have motion sensor lights i believe but i'm not positive yes they do okay and your motion sensor light's gonna be right over here and then here is the whole cummins onan uh generator satellite all the controls sorry that's a conan owning a gen set it's all uh wired in ready to go throw your generator in you're good to go yes and then up there would be a space where you would put things that you don't use on a daily basis because someone like me who's only five one i would have to get a step stool for everything now over here there is hanging for your your jackets your sweaters and i believe and excuse me i'm going to have to open this one as well yes there are two two closets for for hanging your jackets your sweaters whatever it is you desire now i just noticed that uh below here looks like uh there's your there's vacuum porch vacuum port this uh solitude has its own vacuum system which is super cool and i think all you do is go like this and it sucks the you sweep you sweep and then it sucks it you turn it on and it sucks out all the dirt that you bring in before we go any further we should mention that uh this looks like a it's a friction hinge yes and uh a lot of the upper level uh grand designs have that yes so it means when you open your door you're not going to lose it yeah oh here's something we didn't see what's that it looks like it has a shade system that's right so you can uh open and close shades while the door is well looks like you'd have to open it anyway it looks like you have a way to do that yeah nice feature okay so okay then as we come in we're going to the main area here is the living room and entertainment uh section of this magnificent solitude there's a huge i don't know how many inches that that tv is but it's it's very large and i really like the the back it's wood they've put i mean this whole fireplace area is just magnificent and then here is i believe oh i know what it is [Music] a control panel and then you can put dvds and cds or whatever in there it is yeah it's a control panel and it does lock it has a little lever here and then there's the ino flame that's nifty yes right there this swings up you can open it and then while traveling yes it locks down and then just to make sure right that's kind of a neat little feature yeah i think this tv is probably it's got to be you know 48 inches 45 inch it's a pretty good size tv yeah back wall is just really nice so well appointed really really really nice and yeah it is wood and then this big fireplace multi-color flame and ember bed and 50 000 hours ld led light 1400 watts each 400 477 btus my goodness and there's a remote control for it there's a sleep time timer durable components all of that and you get three different choices of uh what kind of ambiance you want which is just fabulous plus it really does heat up the room and there's another event there not in the floor i have a thing about vents and floors i don't like it so yeah we're not seeing any vents there's no vents on the floors anywhere in this room which is awesome now over here we have the overhead storage which is massive it's yeah look at how high it is i mean imagine how many things you can put in here uh to store and of course the latches are nice and slam latch they stay closed now all this is a very nice appointment as well a nice feature the balance all the way around and i don't know if this sofa is a recliner or not it is these uh the one on this side and the one on the other okay are sofa sleepers it appears and then over here as well over here are the thomas paine which happens to be i guess one of the most popular rv recliners because every rv we go into we see thomas paint so um thomas paine collection recliners with these little uh you don't have to put these in but they do come out a little cup holder plus there is a deep cubby to put all the control all the tv controls and you have a little ledge over there to put your drinks over here on the ledge there's also a uh plug yes so you could just put electrical things or maybe a lamp or even if you want to charge your phones there just put a cube in there and you're good to go i don't see any other place for it well we'll find it i'm sure this sofa is is very um very comfy looking it feels good very nice i'm pretty sure that's going to be a sofa bed as well this is a sofa bed yeah i think this thing's going to sleep probably at least eight people yeah the windows in here are very very large yes you get a lot of light in here yes and it looks like uh you got a couple that slide up yes um and uh so you can get some nice ventilation and that slides this looks like slight slower screens so anything that has a screen you can slide it open it would seem so that's right okay so this one here it looks like it's activated by that knob so they actually just kind of roll out a little bit that kind of angle just fine yeah so they don't slide open these do slide open the side ones but these are just going to roll open and so you get some air and uh you know you keep the rain out at the same time so if it's raining you still need ventilation looks like uh they got that covered yes okay so again notice no carpet i love it love it love it love it so now we go up there's a nice hand railing here and uh oh look at that underneath the steps is a shoe garage so uh you can take your shoes off and put them under there that's really a nice cubby for the shoes and again nice solid steps and nice solid hand railing another wonderful window the cabinetry is just lovely there is a lot of room i mean this is the pantry and it's huge and the nice thing is they give you all this space for larger cans and all of that but then you can put smaller items in these drawers and then you can put the the lids to the big pots on the side here that's what that's for or if you have cookie sheet pans that's what goes in there so it's very well appointed and then here again is a and on this side both sides this one has a shelf so you can put smaller items in there cooking utensils maybe a bins with the cooking utensils but on this side uh there's there is not a shelf so you can put tall items in there if pot if you need to like tall pots pans whatever now look at this insignia a stone has four burners this is the first rv we've seen with four burners usually you only see three and this is cast iron and uh i believe this is stainless steel and look at how big the uh the oven is as big if not bigger than our brick and mortar home oven very large it's huge and it looks like it's going to be all electronic ignition um i mean this is about as close as a uh to a residential uh stove as you would ever find and look at this furon fan i mean talk about the the power of sucking up the smoke or whatever you got good ventilation and these these actually feel like well they might be plastic i'm not sure but they're pretty solid and then this is a solid surface this is all self-service it's i think choreon but don't quote me but it's korean like at least but this is very solid surface and what's nice is not only does this uh is this island efficient but look what else you get more storage for goodness sake here's the trash can area and then you have gigantic deep drawers deep in width and depth that's about nine inches or so deep or maybe 10 inches deep and utensils my goodness so much and just plugs and all of that my goodness this site is also an amazing fan i think it might be a fantastic this is a fantastic fan high volume vent fan so here is a huge refrigerator i mean this is a a residential size refrigerator amazing but it is uh it is gas electric it appears to be gas electric we saw the venting on the other side yes now look at how huge i mean this is as big as our brick and mortar home refrigerator and freezer i mean that's i that is massive this is the biggest rv refrigerator i've ever seen it's huge we could never fill this up we'll get the cubic footage for you yeah there's how big how deep for the big milk cartons and things like that oh my gosh it's very impressive and now more counter space here look at this very modern faucet and it comes down again corian like and it's it says this unit has been winterized the whole unit is winterized now they have a split sink um some uh rvs have a just one big huge sink so it's like a farm scene yeah farm sink i mean whatever is your preference go for it and let me put this back and i love having a window uh here these cabinets are great for the spices and little things like that and another big this may be for the plates the bowls all of that and they have some kind of oh this is for the fan and all of that the vents okay so here's the controllers here those are the controls yeah looks like you have some uh climate control in here as well and there is an air conditioner here in the kitchen yes and there is one in the bedroom as well yes fantastic fan and a uh and an air conditioner here now look at this prep space for goodness sake oh my gosh this is about six feet i believe almost six feet oh my gosh but huge and as you're as you're prepping or you could you could have your coffee maker your you know toaster whatever over here huge window which is so nice i love being able to look out while i'm preparing food okay it doesn't look like that window opens oh it doesn't open but at least you can see out of it i don't know if it does or not okay and this is look at that power tower power tower yes it's got electric and it's got usb so that's kind of neat that's really cool now look at poor huge storage it's about two and a half feet deep and and about two and a half feet high it's huge and then of course lots of drawers for utensils all kinds of stuff and then over here another huge cabinet it's about equal in size that's the one on the left yeah it's huge oh i'm sorry oh it's okay it's okay we haven't seen him we promise it's very very very spacious okay and then i would like you to take a look around here on this side we didn't notice until look at how how nice it's not just flat surface it's it's i really really like that yeah it has some texture and oh yes i love i love all the features all of this it's just the cabinetry and the nice touches and uh i mean just just beautiful wow lots of shelves and look at they even have this isn't that nice look at how [Music] how gigantic we're pretty sure there's a microwave convection probably i would think so probably a rig of this caliber but amazing i mean i've never seen a microwave that large it's pretty big that's that's turkey size right there oh for sure so yes this is a wonderful like if you feel like being up here or you have guests and they want to watch tv they have the oh i can't move the chairs because they're tethered but these lovely chairs they're very cushy and this wonderful countertop it's really cool all right okay looks like we have uh speakers in here and of course uh vents for the air conditioning and i believe these have the race track uh ventilation uh ducting system here in uh all brand designs and this is just beautiful very homey down here it's it's literally it's like well it is it's a home on wheels it is beautiful this uh it's so nice this here is just so nice i can't get over it and this is just such a nice beautiful you know focus point here it just it just warms up this room completely it's beautiful and then again no carpet nice big generous steps with a railing in here is the spacious bathroom it has two stainless steel sinks and i love these farmhouse faucets very cool and there's his and hers medicine cabinets that is in her hers sinks and we have the light controls are over here and then of course if you need to do anything electric we have two of them so now the drawers very very spacious this one is nice and deep and these kept the cabinet under the sinks very spacious oh my gosh you can put all of your uh cleaning supplies and things like that for the bathroom and same here same thing just a minute really really nice very very nice storage for all of your bathroom necessities the toilet tissue the towels towels and towels and towels i mean massive so about five shelves it goes back about about a foot or so yes yes but anyway it's a pocket door so that uh when you need to use the restroom you don't have to swing open a door this is so efficient it's really really great very spacious shower with this whole system i don't know what they call this system but it has it shoots out it can shoot out from that there it has it's like a full body shower full body shower with a sun light and i love that they have these already in and this is i don't know what they call this i think that's going to be fiberglass fiberglass it's full of it's a full fiberglass shower it's a seamless fiberglass shower all the way through yes it is it's yes seamless which is nice so that there's no leakage and then this little seat for the ladies or for unfortunately some people who are disabled but we're just shooting we're just shooting a tour here so we'll be out in about five minutes everybody's looking for somebody's husband around here [Laughter] anyway this is great to uh sit here and to shave my legs and all of that and when like when doug he does he's not it doesn't shave his legs so right here he can put this up i'm not gonna force it but anyway he can put this all the way up and um when he takes his shower and i like that this is real glass and a nice sturdy frame my coat hooks up over here that's nice for the towels it looks like it's going to be a porcelain uh fresh toilet yesterday or porcelain is it porcelain sure that's porcelain then there's this door into the bedroom this is a solid door which i really like and it's very well made and and i like the uh brushed nickel i believe it's called it's going to be a brush like a bronze bronze yes like an oiled bronze oiled bronze look i love it there's going to be some climate controls on here not sure what this uh button is for and again no vents on the floor at the vent vents in the wall yep perfect okay also there's this very nice window here it's also the emergency exit but uh i love this uh this drawer setup look at this this is where you can store your jewelry and other little items and uh and the drawers are quite spacious there are six drawers so that's plenty uh for us i really like the headboard look at that that's really nice it matches the wood and the little uh shelves on the side of each window that's perfect i don't know if this is a cleaner king would say it looks like a king size yeah but you used to give it a green or king size um bed and of course there are shades so that to in their blackout shades when you want to go to sleep looks like over here there's uh some gfi plugs and there's also uh uh yeah there's also uh some iphone 5s there's some iphone plans yeah great now another feature i love is a place for a washer and a dryer and a place to hang the clothes so it's already been prepped it's washer dryer prepped up above here also is a tv it's already uh set up here it's a good brand everything uh has every uh every window here has these blackout shades and it looks like you can open this yes as a pop out so again it's not going to quite give you as much ventilation but you don't need to worry about opening it in the rain it'll just fade down also i wanted to point out that the rear window doesn't open at all but the side windows look like they slide up yes and then look at this closet how spacious it's wonderful you can uh of course put some items up here and it has a lip and uh although i use little bins and then nice spacious hanging area and shelving for
