Front Kitchen 5th Wheel 😍 // DRV 41 FKMB Tour // Full Time RV

welcome guys and welcome to the 41 fkmb fk front kitchen what mb mid bedroom huh yeah we've never seen a front kitchen before this is our first yeah this is i know there's apparently some other manufacturers out there that have done this but this is the first one i think that drv's ever done right and it's so pretty it is it's got the new 2021 front nose cap it's got the new 20 21 rear cap and it's got the new 20 21 interior colors so pretty yeah this is their irish cream yes let's take a look let's go [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] well welcome to the star of the show which is the kitchen what i really like about it is that it is definitely separated from the living room yeah it's on a whole nother level huh yeah step up the steps and first we'll come to here this little eating area which can also be used as a workstation which is really nice you know if you don't like the big chairs you can throw some stools in here and use the stools and then they would be out of the way [Applause] you come around here and this is the cook area what i love about it is that there's a lot of space on each side of the propane cooktop which is on top all the time so you can't hide it and and or drop a lid down and use that workspace but you have a lot of space here to put things on your counter and then they have nice deep drawers here and i know a lot of you don't particularly like me opening drawers and everything but there's a there's a lot more that do and i only do this especially for the women that really want to see how much space they have for their kitchen gear i know it's for me that's what i love about it so you have three of these really really deep wide drawers and on each side here you have cupboards where you open it up and you can put your plastic ware depending on what size your cookware is you can put them at the bottom so that's nice having having the shelf in there the window over there is nice isn't it it is isn't it add some light it does i'm not a real fan of the blinds but yeah but they do that for a fire hazard they do yeah you can't have the little the material ones but this also does not have a vent but you have your window which is really nice so when you're cooking you just open that and it lets the steam out i really like the window right here we're gonna have one on ours we have space here this is kind of different because i feel very tall in this area but you have you have places to put kitchenware paper goods whatever you want to do there's a lot of space here you can put a plastic container in there if you want to store things and then you have your microwave and this is just the microwave it's not a convection oh it looks a little smaller than ours it is it is small isn't it but then they have the furrion oven down below and the peas dealer restaurants is huge pantry now when i first got in here i'm thinking hmm things are going to be flying off the cat off the shelves but i do a lot of baskets and there is a lip right here that will hold the baskets in but you can always use tension rods are really good put tension rods in here and it keeps everything in place and i think didn't alicia tell us that you could specify how many shelves and at what height you could put in here yes so if you have like in here you could keep your instant pot rice cooker um air fryer or whatever but you can ask them to raise it up so it all fits in here which is a great spot because it's on the floor and it's solid so that would be awesome right there i mean you can bring a lot of food in here and then we have the full-size refrigerator which is awesome i love it when you can put a gallon of milk on the door it's very cool so there's the fridge and here is the freezer get a lot of chicken and meat in there and that's an lg yes and it's a little narrow but i think it's deeper but yes i think you're right that's what she said yeah yeah all right so we realized that they don't have a garbage can in here um usually you have a little drawer with a garbage and it isn't in here but underneath the sink it's pretty big i mean it's pretty empty and deep so you might be able to just put a garbage can in here or i don't know it's kind of tight on each side to put one on on the outside but that's pretty deep then you come around here this is what i really love here i mean what a great nook that you can just if you have people over you can spread your food out here people can come in grab their food go down and sit down and eat but the drawers are good oh they're deep yeah they're very deep and then you have an area here to store whatever you want to store in here i would probably like to have a shelf because it's a lot of empty space here or you can actually just do the portable shelves too to create whatever you want to put in there so three more drawers like the one i showed you actually these are different that one's bigger or deeper and this one is shorter oh so you got three drawers on the right two on the left yeah yeah okay two on the left are bigger but you can never have enough drawers and then on this side of the island you also have your dishwasher you guys i know a lot of people think this is a fluff thing i use mine almost every day it's awesome and it runs like the top shelf of your dishwasher so if you have anything that's kind of delicate that if it was down below it would melt it doesn't do it in here i've never had anything ruined in mine so these are amazing and then you've got a drawer below your dishwasher yes you do and you can put i put my plastic stuff down here my plastic containers and then this is a great workspace here you have a lot of room to either display your food or prep it now come here and this is pretty neat this is a coat closet or if you want to hang a broom in here it's pretty good size it is is very nice size and this of course is all of your control control panel yeah and then as you are up here cooking you can oversee the living space and you're not interfering with the football game or the basketball game yes or the movie yeah and if you're up here cooking you can still see the tv oh that's true so you're not missing out being in the kitchen welcome to the living area a nice love seat here and then a hide a bed here and the height of bed is standard i guess uh alicia is actually going to swap out the hide-a-bed with some theater seating right and the reason she said she's going to do that is because that sets directly across from your tv set yeah and it's nice to be able to lift your feet up and watch your show and be comfortable and of course we have our beautiful fireplace which i'm in love with and then you've got storage on both sides we do that's pretty deep okay there's no shelves on this side let's see if there's one on this one oh i can find the handle there we go yeah there's shelf on that one okay and then is that a drawer in the middle oh yeah wide okay put all your control um tv controls in here and a sound bar yep sound bar right here your lg tv and then up above is your media cabinet so there's a subwoofer up there and there's the dvd player all your connections for your electronics your tv antenna and then storage on the other side so actually that's pretty good size and the accent lighting for 2021 is a little bit different there are no sconces they have these okay and then above the sleeper sofa is the overhead storage bins okay and that's all passed through yes it's all passed through okay so that is a lot of storage yeah and then you've got a bunch of storage over here right but first what i love about this look at all the windows there's so many windows right here and just brightens it up in here but here is wow that is really nice and i know it's tall but that is the best way to make more storage you just need a step stool because i still need a step stool and i'm five eight but i know there's a lot of people out there that aren't as tall and they kind of freak out about that but it's it really does work and if you have a step stool you'll be fine and you just put stuff up there that you normally don't get all the time you know i mean this is almost like a bar yeah yeah that could be your coffee station actually a coffee station you can put your coffee down here your pop and everything down there because it's a hard surface you don't have to worry about anything breaking as you're going down the road got some nice drawers yeah this is a nice area and you've got the cabinet here which must be washer dryer this is the washer and dryer area okay or if you don't want a washer and dryer it's a great storage or coat closet to hang extra clothes coats shoes whatever okay and then this above here and i can't reach it i can't reach it see even tall people can't reach things i'll get up here it's nice to be married to someone tall oh man that's a deep i don't know what you put up there maybe stuff you don't use blankets and stuff that you rarely rarely use but costco toilet paper yeah would go up there papers towels yeah stuff you can store up there for later look at this beautiful pocket door for the bedroom i love that this is a really nice size room you have enough space to walk around nice king-sized bed and you've got a window you've got side windows on each side of the bed plus a window yeah it's an egress window and that's really nice for at night time when it's hot you just want some fresh air flow through [Music] and you've got this does that all pass through as well it looks like it i can't tell about there but oh my goodness look at all the storage on there in there ours is like half the size yeah it's pass through okay so it's all pass through lots of storage holy cow you can put jeans and t-shirts up here and not even touch your closet okay now we're coming to the drawers in the closets this is a dream you have all of these drawers unbelievable so much space for your clothes yeah those are stacked three three high and too high yeah middle ones are three and the ends are two that is amazing and here you have another area that you can put things in that you don't get to very often and this could be let's go say towels and stuff but the bathroom is so big that i don't know just use your imagination what you can put in there and the closets she has a have a his and her and a both yeah that's you could not hang long dresses in there no um but for everything else there's plenty of room right yeah that's that's a lot of closet storage a lot cupboard cubbies little cubbies on each side of the bed make it nice an area so you can plug your phone in at night and have it by your bed if you want and another pretty pocket door to the bathroom let me tell you the shower is huge i think if you're seven foot tall you can fit in it with plenty of head space this is huge okay so i am six four and i can't even touch the ceiling that's how tall this shower is it is it's huge and they took out the benches this year in the showers and so it just it leaves a lot of room to to maneuver in here and i like the new backsplash a lot yeah it's really pretty now let's look at these drawers great place to put your toothbrush in the toothpaste and then look we got another one it's the same size that's pretty cool hair supplies hair supplies yeah absolutely and not only do they have it on this side they also have it on this side so and under the sink there's a lot of space in here with a shelf we put our med kit our plastic med kit underneath our sink so we know where it's at at all times and our extra soaps and that kind of stuff and then over here wow that's nice so towels yeah you can roll them up and throw and place them in there if you want absolutely a lot of space for them a lot here's some more storage area for hair supplies meds whatever you want huh okay and of course there's another one just like it on the other side here's more cupboard space there's no shortage on storage that's for darn sure well with the tall ceiling that this bathroom has it allows for a whole lot more storage right and trust me you'll need it and then you've got a oh you've got a window for your bathroom above the toilet and it is a macerator toilet and if you're if you are boondockers like us that's probably a minus but if you don't knock if you don't care then you're okay it uses a lot of water yeah so one thing i did notice about this coach is there is no shortage of fantastic fans and we are huge huge huge fans of fantastic fans because they run off at 12 volt and you can move air in either direction you can pull it from the outside and push it in or you can pull it from the inside and push it out there's a fantastic fan in the bathroom there's one in the bedroom and there's one in the kitchen area so a lot of fantastic fans in this coach which makes it really nice especially if you if you're boondocking the other thing that we noticed on the new 2021 models is their new ceiling fans uh the old ceiling fans the original ceiling fans not old but the original ceiling fans and drvs were so close to the ceiling that they didn't move a whole lot of air this is a new style ceiling fan that drv has started to put in their coaches i really like the style and it really does move air a whole lot better than their old style all right let's take a look at the outside not a whole lot going on a little different paint scheme on the 2021 models you can tell us whether you like it or not or tell drv whether you like it or not it's a little different you know it's not their typical swirls that they used to have it it's definitely a different paint scheme they do supply the t-molding screws from the factory now which is nice because it it keeps the the water from from getting in and and getting into the slide floors so let's take a look at the storage basement storage is a little smaller than our 30 8 rssa a little more cramped inside um i'm sure that's because of the front or the the mid living room but still quite a bit of storage you can still get a storage tray in there you just don't have the extra room that you would normally have [Applause] we've got some other storage here i i will tell you guys this is a tandem axle by the way not a triple uh 41 foot coach tandem axle i will tell you i'm happy to see drv put their spare tire rack on underneath the coach rather than the crank the hand crank um many of us have lost spare tires in the past because of that cable stretching looks like they're they're attempting to fix that issue so we've got storage compartment here which is pretty good size the other thing i like is drv put slam latches on on all their exterior doors now which is really nice another big one for blocks and chalks and and that sort of thing new rear cap uh has got some different led lights which i kind of like you know let me know what you think in the in the comments below but i really like this now obviously there's no rear window in this model because it's the rear bath but i kind of like this new rear cap coming around on the off door side we've got your power cord reel and plenty of room for dog bones and some accessories back here this one's a little tough to get to with this slide out but again it's the same size as all the others oh this is your this is your dump valves for your toilet and your gray in the back here because this is where the the bathroom is obviously this is the wet bay and you've got your flush and your gray tank there's two black handles back there i'm honestly not sure why they've got two black handles back there but this is your gray flush your gray wash your black wash your satellite connections your spray hose so basic wet bay here with a slam latch and then the other side of your belly storage this is where your level up system is located here and then again they've got their whole house water filter and the water manifold that drv is is famous for there two forty pound propane tanks on a slide out tray your battery compartment is here and your generator compartment is here no generator in this one but generator prep hey so that's the new front kitchen model from drv2021 with the new interior colors the new cabinet colors uh the new ceiling fan and what'd you think this is really pretty it is isn't it yeah yeah i like the layout um i just love everything about it there's so much storage i cannot believe how much storage there is in here yeah yeah as i said i'm 6'4 and the only place i felt a little claustrophobic was in the kitchen but that's you don't cook anyway i don't cook anyway the bedroom ceilings are huge the bathroom ceiling is really tall of course the living room is standard and on a 41 foot coach tandem axle um i like it yeah me too thumbs up yeah two thumbs up i like it all right hey uh thanks for coming along guys we hope you enjoyed looking at the drv new front kitchen model and if you like these let us know give
