Josh, I'd like to let you know about something that happened to us on our recent 3-week vacation. On the first night of our trip, we had a bedroom slide failure on our Outdoors RV 280KVS. I called Bish's in Idaho Falls and spoke with Cameron Osborn. Cameron was super understanding to my situation and offered to help me with the manual override on the slide controller. Once I arrived at Bish's, Cameron came out and looked and noticed that the override button on the controller PCB was missing! He had the part in stock but since that store wasn't an ORV dealer the part would cost me...not wanting my vacation to end, I said go ahead. While waiting for them to get the rig in the shop, I phoned ORV. The Warranty manager at ORV spoke with Cameron and ORV agreed to pay for the repair! I didn't buy this rig at Bish's, but their staff went out of their way to help me in a desperate situation. I've bought RV's from Bish's in the past and wish I had bought my last one there. Thanks again to Bish's in Idaho Falls, and especially Cameron Osborn for going out of his way to help!
This is gorgeous …. The kitchen is awesome & I love the bathroom… 1 sink is enough … I would rather have 1 sink & tons of counter space! I feel the same way about the cabinets in the bathroom . I’d rather have cabinet doors to cover whatever I’d put in there. Great video .
When you first showed the kitchen...I was like....what? Wait! There isn't an island! It looked kinda bare. But the pull out peninsula was very cool!!! I like the pantry too!!! I agree....take a couch out of the living area and put a nice desk setup there. I know a couple of manufacturers are doing that very thing. I believe Riverstone is one. I am sure Jayco will be too soon. I wish this had medicine cabinets and doors for the bathroom cabinets. Doesn't make sense to me. I would put more than towels in the cabinets. And I am going to keep preaching this....we need night stands! I can't be the only one who has a bunch of stuff next to their bed and needs a place to put it. Bottle water, tissue, a book, etc. Jayco is one of my faves and so this is just a very nice unit! Thanks for showing it.
Agree 100%. At first I felt a bit underwhelmed. Then I found that peninsula. I don't think I'd use the extended cutting board often but It's nice to know the option is there.
Oh my... This is very very nice! The storage, the kitchen, the way it's elevated is just what the boss/wife has been ordering me to look at! She just HAS TO HAVE the separation between the rooms, just like this!!! The wood wall board in the living space is awesome! This may actually be the one that we end up having to buy new oppose to the previously owned model Only thing we'd change is the passenger side sofa will be a desk Also something the overlooked is the counter space next to the stove. That is something that is needed IMO. Then the dishwasher space looks doable. Washer/dryer is important as well for location. No island is rnice with the pull out option to be there for the open floor space. Love the bar stools counter overlooking the living space. We both say it should be like that in all the end kitchens we've looked at. FINALLY!!!! Hidden control panel behind the door!!! That's such a pet peeve of ours... not hiding the panel in so many models!! The color scheme is awesome as well! The dark interiors make the coach so.... well.... dark! All this with a bathroom that's not too small but not too overbearing either. They probably could have thrown in a second sink but really.... I don't remember the last time she and I were using sinks in our master bath now at the same time! I do like to have the shitter hidden a bit more though. The side shelf in the shower!!! priceless! So many don't have one installed and it's just not right! Maybe put doors on the side storage next to the door/shower. And then, as I"m writing my liittle review and watching at the same time we get to the bedroom... A dresser!!! YES!!! The closet is great but having a real dresser is so important that so many manufacturers seam to not remember to add in so many models! The colors. The valances. The floorplan. And Jaycoi is who did this... It's a WIN!!!! Sure like to see the rack and pinion slide concept used more. I feel a lot safer with it than the other types. (Wow... I need to just shut up here. It's tuning into a novel!) Waiting patiently to see if you're gonna talk money on this one.... "Verbal constipation".... PRICELESS AND STOLEN FOR MY FUTURE PROBLEMS OF THE SAME SITUATION!
This is an extremely nice unit. The only thing I am not a fan of is the super low ceiling height in the slide over the stove. It makes me feel like I need to stand further back or duck down into the opening to see what I’m cooking… That aside, the storage and extended cabinet (like a Class A) is great. Stunning bathroom - lots of space and nice colors.
Agreed. I'd also get rid of the little window above the stove and add some sort of storage, like hooks for cooking utensils or a magnetic knife rack. A pot rack, if doable with the hood, would be ideal. It's beautiful, but a few tweaks would make it perfect.
I love this unit except for 2 things. I think the Tv placement is to high on the wall. I understand why so that you can put devices on the shelf below to connect to the TV. The second thing is for me it didn’t seem like there was enough countertop space next to the sink to lay out dishes to dry. Overall though it’s impressive. Thank you Josh for showing it to us!
This, this is a very, very nice 5th wheel unit. I don't even mind the darker accents and trim on this. North Point/Jayco/Thor is doing some wonderful things in the industry - as usual. I kind of agree with a previous comment about the location of the floor vents, but I also understand the maximum/minimum engineering these things have to go through in order to maximize the functionality of these internal systems. Just throw a rug over them when not in use. I don't even mind the open pocket storage in the bathroom on this one. Towels, butt-napkins, etc. would ride okay in there. The best part of what Jayco does - no plaid. LoL
Wow! I used to think Grand design built the most beautiful fifth wheel but this is absolutely amazing. I would have to put a small ramp up into that rear kitchen so I could walk it up to use it being so that I'm not able to do steps but once you get in that kitchen who would ever want to leave! It's absolutely the most beautiful RV kitchen I've ever seen. Not only is it functional but the finishes are absolutely gorgeous. The only small changes I would make would be to add pull out drawers to the cabinets that flank that pull out Island. Aside from that, the only other change I would make would be to swap out the vessel sink in the bathroom for a standard sink. I realize I would lose a bit of storage but I'm okay with that as I just find vessel sinks very difficult to use sense standing is difficult for me. And yes, some coverage for the linen storage in the bathroom would be ideal. If a door wasn't an option, at least some cargo netting to hold in items other than towels would be very helpful. Otherwise you might have to utilize that extra hallway cabinet for bathroom storage. Otherwise this is absolutely perfect! Thank you so much for showing this to us, Josh.
Swapping a couch for a desk would be a nice option. In rigs with conventional dinette or table and chairs, I think a desk option in many of those spaces would be great instead of taking away from the seating in the living space.
I would not do the desk since I see that breakfast bar as a useable workstation. Fantastic unit tho. I would fulltime in this for sure. I'd want a dishwasher where that slideout drawer by the sink is since there's a trash can already.
I do like this layout. But, I think that there are a couple of near misses in the kitchen. First; There needs to be enough space next to the stove to set a skillet down. Having to turn all the way around to set something down is just stupid! The same goes for the sink. Where do you set your dirty dishes down? If they're just piled in the sink then it's pretty hard to wash them. I do however, really appreciate not having the microwave above the stove. I always hit my big head against it. (I'm hyper-vertically challenged like you!)
My only 2 nits about this unit. Yes, there is space around the range. But there are also exposed walls. Can one of these manufacturers that put the range in a niche like this please put a grease/stain resistant material in that space. And yes, please put doors on that storage in the bathroom.
I think one major consideration for a desk option on the door side sofa slide out would be to have proper floor flush slides so that the chair is on less of an angle for said desk.
This is really nice and could live in it pretty well. I would just prefer a separate little family room instead of 3 couches and a table all facing the tv.
Thanks for this review...I think this Jayco is the one. Love love ❤️ the kitchen WOW! I'm looking for a full timer and this checks all the boxes for me
Darn it, Uncle Josh!! You and Jayco are making me contemplate a 1-ton truck so I can haul this amazing rig! Also, well done on the split-screen intro. I really dig it! Your brilliance and creativity are underrated. Also, 100% swap camp side sofa with a desk!
Josh the only negative for us is in the kitchen, no backsplash around the stove but not a deal breaker. Model 380 Right Kitchen Great Style. The wide body to match prospective customers👍👍. Josh my wife said that the drawer below the stove oven will hold her cookie sheets . This one gets 20 out of 10. Josh another great video, tongue tripping & all, keep’m coming.
I LOVE IT!!!!! I have seen the Redwood rear kitchen one and this one has it beat. It has more basement storage, more slides and the outdoor fridge. I kind of agree about the dually with the rig. Mine is the single axle one ton with a towing rating for 2,200 pounds. But with the extra basement storage, people are tempted to overload the rig. Great find!!!!!
What a beautiful RV. Somehow I would need more counter space by the stove though. If they flipped the kitchen slides, then the sink, stove and some counter space would be closer together. As a person who likes to cook, that would make it perfect for me. Well, except that it is too long and weighs too much for our truck. We can dream though!
I have been eyeing this one since the floorplan hit the Jayco site! Like your desk idea. Just pop out that micro (I don't use) and make it a queen bed and I'd be very happy!!
This is the one. Its the perfect rv... almost.... the only thing i can think of to improve it is to add opposing slides in the bedroom and put a desk in there... oh and switch to a mini split to make the ceilings taller. Other than that, beautiful.
You know I love Jayco. This thing is a beast. I haven't been able to watch as many of your videos as I would've liked to. I appreciate your efforts and love the new products that are available to you. I hope this isn't a sore subject or to personal to answer, but you're bouncing from Oregon to Michigan and other Bish's locations. Are you able to get some you/family time? Between recording the videos, uploading, answering questions on RUclips and other platforms, you are busier than a team of construction workers building 5 massive skyscrapers. I get it, you have to work, but you also have a daughter and wife. I know I said a lot, and again if it's to private or personal, it's okay. I just hope you don't burn yourself out. I want to see you continue your videos on this channel, but I don't want you to overdue it.
Not a sore topic at all - in fact I appreciate the care and concern :) Short answer: Yes. Yes I am. In fact Bish's has been really great about encouraging that. The Bish's team has lived up to everything they said they would do when I signed on. I'm still running this channel in the way I see fit, I'm able to basically set my own schedule as long as the work keeps getting done, and in fact I may be getting something of a direct support/assistant in the future to help me better balance my time monthly I have a meeting with our VP of Marketing. Had one yesterday actually. He kind of took me by surprise after we had discussed business for a while and asked "Okay so... are you happy?" It actually caught me off guard they cared and wanted to make sure I felt fulfilled in what I was doing. Then, he really shocked me by asking "So what about your wife? Is SHE happy? Is SHE okay with you traveling around and everything you do for us?" Answer to both was yes. Have taken several extended weekends away with my family this weekend and it's been a blast so far. Lot of work? Sure. That's what work is. But rewarding
@@JoshtheRVNerd that is awesome Bish's sounds like an amazing place to work. The only sad/funny thing, you lost your title of SOB with a PhD.... Oh well.
Josh: N0, N0, N0!!! This isn’t an RV. This is definitely a rig that cries out for an acre of land in California,a house, an adjcent a pull thru “campsite pad” covered by gazebo or pergola. And then you’d have yourself a grandparents rolling ADU (auxiliary dwelling unit) for wherever the army sends the kids and grandkids.😊😊😊 Respectfully, W.S.
Love the kitchen! Any concern with the fridge being wiggled & jiggled during transport? Desogn question...what if they got rid of the sofa and slide by the entrance? That would still provide good seating for company inside but provides great roadmode plus better awning coverage for enjoying the outdoors which is why most people go camping isn't it? The kitchen slide is shallow enough that it shouldn't interfere with much of anything.
Very nice 5th wheel but the placement of that RV stove/oven with very limited counter space may be a potential deal breaker for some as for me I'm kind of innovative type person, I'd probably find a way to make it work! Overall a Very nice 5th wheel with an excellent layout and very functional space with some innovation of it's own! 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Josh buddy You do a Superb job on all your video's, 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Josh another great video. We currently have a rear kitchen model and love it. Our fridge is secured on the passenger wall. The location of this fridge will have items slide forward when traveling and when you open the door you may have to catch items. Not everything in the fridge can be stopped from sliding forward with the fridge bars. And the prep space is way away from the stove/oven.
This is a beautiful rig and it would be lovely for full-time living or placed permanently on a private site. I have a few problems with it though. That kitchen looks larger than my current kitchen but the space isn't utilized as nicely. There needs to be more space around the stove and a u-shaped back/side splash. I personally think they need to swap the positions of the stove and the microwave. If I'm putting something in the microwave, I've already prepped everything and the space they provided is adequate. If I'm cooking on the stove top it's likely that I still need to add things to the pan after it's on the heat and I need space next to the stove to make that work. I'm also find that having the stove closer to the sink is preferable. If this rig had flush slide floors I'd love to swap one of the couches for a desk. Which couch would depend on how I use the rig though. I'm not a fan of vessel sinks, I'm rather short and those sinks are just awkward to use. I understand a regular sink would take up some of that glorious storage space but in my case it would be worth the loss. Does this rig have an on-demand water heater? If not, then it should. I must have missed you mentioning it. That shower stall looked wonderful and with on demand hot water I could probably stay there longer than I should. I do love the fridge and that the outside fridge will work in transit if necessary.
Love it wish list tub and shower washer dryer remove I love seat add table/desk 1 recliner in the other spot where other love seat is love everything else
I was already thinking about "could I put a desk in that slide" when you did your fly-by. I like this floor plan, but she is a big girl. No half-tons need apply.
Over all a very nice unit, good storage both inside and out. Floor plan is good and I like the convertable closet for either hanging items or shelf storage. Misses, where will a CPAP machine sit? They need to consider that. Perhaps a shelf above the window but then you will need a place to plug it in. Since this is setup as a couples unit, which is what I need, the eating situation is adequate. But, is that table elevated table portable?
I'm on board with you about the desk swap. I need a desk, and hoping to see a few more that have it. I'm not sure about that oven range placement though, and I think I'd prefer that microwave at ground zero, with shelf area above it, not below as it's configured there. I see a lot of bending over to find what your looking for or using your hand/arm to fish under there for stuff. Not fun. Overall though, it's seems like a pretty nice model.
Definitely swap door side couch for Desk !! RiverStone and RiverStone reserve both have a floor plan similar to this but have desk instead of couch. But I’m sure you being the RV Nerd you already knew that 😂. Keep up the great videos ! While on the subject of rear kitchen plans. I’d love to see a KZ Durango 321 rkt if you ever have the opportunity to do video for one .
I'd buy the solitude over this for one reason and its the island to me that's a much better thing to have for prep space and seating but this thing is one heck of a rig this type of floorplan has become one of my favorites but I do miss the nice front cap window of a front kitchen but the tongue weight on those are crazy so, beautiful unit tho I think a desk in the slide would be an issue tho as the slides on this aren't flush👍👍
This floorplan is perfect in almost every way👍I am just having a hard time keeping up with the ridiculous Jayco pricing, as their not even top of the line North point is now approaching $150,000!!!
To be fair - it's not just them. But yeah.. MSRP values have gone crazy. Sale pricing has jumped as well obviously. I was looking at our pricing files recently and noticed we are working on _surprisingly_ slim margins on these things right now to keep them moving Even so.. pricing has gone up without question. Our margins are just quite low currently
This is exceptional! So well thought out. It’s just beautiful and it has everything I could ever want for full time living. I tried hard to find something I didn’t like about it……**crickets** The best part? I can tow it with my 2011 F150!!!!!! The pin weight would be perfect🤣😂
Love this floor plan. I agree about the bathroom shelving, it needs doors, also the chairs for the cutting block pull out look too short. You look like your chin would rest on the table. Also would prefer pull out shelving in the microwave slide due to how deep it is. Would be nice if the bedroom had more space between wall and bed. Also just wanted to know if there are any plug ins on bathroom vanity? Both sides would be nice As we have plug in toothbrushes,plus of course hair dryers,etc. just my 2 cents worth…
Quick question are your sales down. Personally I decided not to take my camper out this year. for two reasons one obviously the cost of Gas. Two will nontoxic antifreeze be available in the fall.
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 *WOW* !! *This NEW North Point is Fabulous* !! *Wish I could have this BIG, flexible kitchen* !! *LOVE this Fifth Wheel* !! #JoshTheRVNerdAtBishsRV 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
They offer two decors. The other may be more to your liking OR.. take a look at the Solitudes we carry. They also make a very similar layout with a very warm wood tone interior
I want to love this kitchen, but it has two serious dings. For how big the space is and how creative they designers got, they completely ignored some basic functionality for the people who take home cooking seriously. There really needs to be more counter space on both sides of the stove to place prepped and cooked dishes. Am I supposed to make a trip back and forth to the available counter behind me for ingredients and to get hot cookery out of the way while I'm whipping up meals? As for that sink, where am I supposed to put washed dishes?? The drying rack can't exactly go on top of the sink while I'm doing the washing afterall. At the price point of this RV, there should've been an island for the sink to be placed central (good for lefties and righties) with expandable flaps for more prep space and possible seating, the pantry should go next to the fridge in place of the sink, and the stove to go in the center of that slide (again, here for the lefties and righties) with full counterspace (including a pullout cutting board) and some consideration given to how annoying toe stub slides are. *Steps down off of my insulted-tiny-home-cook soapbox* I definitely have other dings for other parts of the RV, but my thumbs have run out of breath to grumble.
For what this is, and that it costs, I'm really amazed they couldn't put doors on the bathroom cabinets, a cold AND hot spray port, and a bigger awning that covers the slides as well...oh, and no slide toppers from the factory? That all should be standard. So many awesome features yet it seems like Friday came and the design team said 'ok, that's good enough.' Something on this level and this scale should never have stopped at just 'good enough.' I love everything else about it but it just doesn't give me that all-inclusive 'warm and fuzzy' feeling about what I would end up getting out of it long term...if they cut such obvious corners, what else did they cheap out on that we can't see?
sure, "once or twice a yr, pay someone to move it", so, how much $$ is that as wlel as cost of sitting in one spot for 6 to 12 months? luckily, mine is sitting on my buddies land for FREE.... but if i had this, that would NOT be the case
It was not. Pricing can vary by multiple thousands of dollars based on shipping location, options, and changes in manufactures pricing since the time on my videos posts. I leave you a link in our video description where you can see any of these we have in stock with specific pricing at their specific locations and equipment loadout
R.I.P. Kool Aid man. Floor vents are infinitely worse than open bathroom storage. You could always just put doors on open storage, but covering floor vents invalidates them.
I get what you’re saying but as a counter point you don’t tend to cover floor vents permanently and tend to cover them when they’re not needed or in use
@@JoshtheRVNerd That's the point, you can't just cover them up or work around them forever. Eventually, you'll NEED them if the rig has them. Open storage can be altered without affecting the function of the RV. Hence, floor vents are worse.
Poorly placed oven and stove top would have been better placed on the other side with work space on on one or both sides and the microwave put where the oven stove top are

Man.. thank you SO MUCH for this!! Going to share with the team
Just shared with the team including Cameron at Idaho Falls. Ty again!!
This 5th wheel is a thing of beauty. And I agree with you that it would be great if we could replace 1 of the sofas for a desk.
Yes a desk! Great for anyone who is a remote worker. Nailed it for anyone who wants a full-time snowbird rig.
I think the kitchen elevated bar-thing with the outlets is likely what they were referring to
This is gorgeous …. The kitchen is awesome & I love the bathroom… 1 sink is enough … I would rather have 1 sink & tons of counter space! I feel the same way about the cabinets in the bathroom . I’d rather have cabinet doors to cover whatever I’d put in there. Great video .
Exactly!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful 5th wheel and love it. Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍
When you first showed the kitchen...I was like....what? Wait! There isn't an island! It looked kinda bare. But the pull out peninsula was very cool!!! I like the pantry too!!!

Oh my...
This is very very nice!
The storage, the kitchen, the way it's elevated is just what the boss/wife has been ordering me to look at! She just HAS TO HAVE the separation between the rooms, just like this!!!
The wood wall board in the living space is awesome!
This may actually be the one that we end up having to buy new oppose to the previously owned model
Only thing we'd change is the passenger side sofa will be a desk Also something the overlooked is the counter space next to the stove. That is something that is needed IMO. Then the dishwasher space looks doable. Washer/dryer is important as well for location.
No island is rnice with the pull out option to be there for the open floor space. Love the bar stools counter overlooking the living space. We both say it should be like that in all the end kitchens we've looked at.
FINALLY!!!! Hidden control panel behind the door!!! That's such a pet peeve of ours... not hiding the panel in so many models!!
The color scheme is awesome as well! The dark interiors make the coach so.... well.... dark!
All this with a bathroom that's not too small but not too overbearing either. They probably could have thrown in a second sink but really.... I don't remember the last time she and I were using sinks in our master bath now at the same time! I do like to have the shitter hidden a bit more though.
The side shelf in the shower!!! priceless! So many don't have one installed and it's just not right! Maybe put doors on the side storage next to the door/shower.
And then, as I"m writing my liittle review and watching at the same time we get to the bedroom...
A dresser!!! YES!!! The closet is great but having a real dresser is so important that so many manufacturers seam to not remember to add in so many models!
The colors. The valances. The floorplan. And Jaycoi is who did this... It's a WIN!!!!
Sure like to see the rack and pinion slide concept used more. I feel a lot safer with it than the other types.
(Wow... I need to just shut up here. It's tuning into a novel!)
Waiting patiently to see if you're gonna talk money on this one....
"Verbal constipation".... PRICELESS AND STOLEN FOR MY FUTURE PROBLEMS OF THE SAME SITUATION!
Swap in a desk FOR SURE!
If I ever get to a position in life where I can full time RV, this one is definitely very high on my list.
I feel ya - this thing is INCREDIBLE
This is an extremely nice unit. The only thing I am not a fan of is the super low ceiling height in the slide over the stove. It makes me feel like I need to stand further back or duck down into the opening to see what I’m cooking… That aside, the storage and extended cabinet (like a Class A) is great.

A few mentions for dish drying. TY. I like to try to identify trends like that
I would prefer a double bowl sink myself ,that would solve that problem 😊
1:53 I think kudos for including the entry window shade❗️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙌🏽
My oh my ,that’s so huge, beautiful but big, thanks for showing this beautiful unit,

One of my favorites
Swapping a couch for a desk would be a nice option. In rigs with conventional dinette or table and chairs, I think a desk option in many of those spaces would be great instead of taking away from the seating in the living space.
Love this kitchen
I would not do the desk since I see that breakfast bar as a useable workstation. Fantastic unit tho. I would fulltime in this for sure. I'd want a dishwasher where that slideout drawer by the sink is since there's a trash can already.
You know.. that's fair!
I do like this layout. But, I think that there are a couple of near misses in the kitchen. First; There needs to be enough space next to the stove to set a skillet down.

You hit my complaint right on the head.
Love this floor plan. That kitchen is to die for. I wouldn’t add the desk.
TY for the feedback!
The kitchen is in the right place…
My only 2 nits about this unit. Yes, there is space around the range. But there are also exposed walls. Can one of these manufacturers that put the range in a niche like this please put a grease/stain resistant material in that space. And yes, please put doors on that storage in the bathroom.
Side splashes around the stove? You'd think it was illegal the way most builders make stuff lol
Great rig. I agree, a desk in one of the LR slides would be nice
I like the kitchen and the living room and bathroom and bedroom
TY Heather :)
I think one major consideration for a desk option on the door side sofa slide out would be to have proper floor flush slides so that the chair is on less of an angle for said desk.
That’s a solid point
Love rear and front kitchens!!
🤔 not to sure about the height above the stove. Other than that I like its smart use of space.
This is really nice and could live in it pretty well. I would just prefer a separate little family room instead of 3 couches and a table all facing the tv.
Thanks for this review...I think this Jayco is the one. Love love ❤️ the kitchen WOW! I'm looking for a full timer and this checks all the boxes for me
Nice! Thx for watching Allison :):)
How in the world do they do it? 🤔 That kitchen WOW WOW WOW👍 Thanks alot Uncle Josh🤠
Right?!
Darn it, Uncle Josh!! You and Jayco are making me contemplate a 1-ton truck so I can haul this amazing rig! Also, well done on the split-screen intro. I really dig it! Your brilliance and creativity are underrated. Also, 100% swap camp side sofa with a desk!
😂 sorry??
Josh the only negative for us is in the kitchen, no backsplash around the stove but not a deal breaker. Model 380 Right Kitchen Great Style. The wide body to match prospective customers👍👍. Josh my wife said that the drawer below the stove oven will hold her cookie sheets . This one gets 20 out of 10. Josh another great video, tongue tripping & all, keep’m coming.
👍🏻
I LOVE IT!!!!! I have seen the Redwood rear kitchen one and this one has it beat. It has more basement storage, more slides and the outdoor fridge. I kind of agree about the dually with the rig. Mine is the single axle one ton with a towing rating for 2,200 pounds. But with the extra basement storage, people are tempted to overload the rig. Great find!!!!!
Ty Dale
0:10 yes, uniquely different (kitchen that is) 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙌🏽
I’d leave everything just like it is. I would put this 5th wheel on Uncle Josh Lake and live in it. Thanks Josh!
Ty
What a beautiful RV. Somehow I would need more counter space by the stove though. If they flipped the kitchen slides, then the sink, stove and some counter space would be closer together. As a person who likes to cook, that would make it perfect for me. Well, except that it is too long and weighs too much for our truck. We can dream though!
Absolutely gorgeous plan!
Yeah I had to go thru it a few times. I was impressed
HANDS UP for a desk. yes.....
YAAAASSS lol :)
My biggest complaint would be no area for drying the dishes on the counter. Otherwise I love this.
Fair enough. Ty Linda
I have been eyeing this one since the floorplan hit the Jayco site! Like your desk idea. Just pop out that micro (I don't use) and make it a queen bed and I'd be very happy!!
Thx for hanging in there and waiting for it!!
This is the one. Its the perfect rv... almost.... the only thing i can think of to improve it is to add opposing slides in the bedroom and put a desk in there... oh and switch to a mini split to make the ceilings taller. Other than that, beautiful.
Yay back to my favorites awesome
All for you buddy 😂
You know I love Jayco. This thing is a beast. I haven't been able to watch as many of your videos as I would've liked to. I appreciate your efforts and love the new products that are available to you. I hope this isn't a sore subject or to personal to answer, but you're bouncing from Oregon to Michigan and other Bish's locations. Are you able to get some you/family time? Between recording the videos, uploading, answering questions on RUclips and other platforms, you are busier than a team of construction workers building 5 massive skyscrapers. I get it, you have to work, but you also have a daughter and wife. I know I said a lot, and again if it's to private or personal, it's okay. I just hope you don't burn yourself out. I want to see you continue your videos on this channel, but I don't want you to overdue it.
Not a sore topic at all - in fact I appreciate the care and concern :)
Short answer: Yes. Yes I am.
In fact Bish's has been really great about encouraging that. The Bish's team has lived up to everything they said they would do when I signed on. I'm still running this channel in the way I see fit, I'm able to basically set my own schedule as long as the work keeps getting done, and in fact I may be getting something of a direct support/assistant in the future to help me better balance my time
monthly I have a meeting with our VP of Marketing. Had one yesterday actually. He kind of took me by surprise after we had discussed business for a while and asked "Okay so... are you happy?"
It actually caught me off guard they cared and wanted to make sure I felt fulfilled in what I was doing. Then, he really shocked me by asking "So what about your wife? Is SHE happy? Is SHE okay with you traveling around and everything you do for us?"
Answer to both was yes. Have taken several extended weekends away with my family this weekend and it's been a blast so far.
Lot of work? Sure. That's what work is. But rewarding
@@JoshtheRVNerd that is awesome Bish's sounds like an amazing place to work. The only sad/funny thing, you lost your title of SOB with a PhD.... Oh well.
@@davidaukofer well.. maybe now I am “Sort of a Bish whose Parent Had a Dealership”
So.. it still works :)
Josh: N0, N0, N0!!! This isn’t an RV. This is definitely a rig that cries out for an acre of land in California,a house, an adjcent a pull thru “campsite pad” covered by gazebo or pergola. And then you’d have yourself a grandparents rolling ADU (auxiliary dwelling unit) for wherever the army sends the kids and grandkids.😊😊😊 Respectfully, W.S.
Love the kitchen! Any concern with the fridge being wiggled & jiggled during transport?
Desogn question...what if they got rid of the sofa and slide by the entrance? That would still provide good seating for company inside but provides great roadmode plus better awning coverage for enjoying the outdoors which is why most people go camping isn't it? The kitchen slide is shallow enough that it shouldn't interfere with much of anything.
I do wonder about those rear wall fridges. Strikes me as best used for destinations
Very nice 5th wheel but the placement of that RV stove/oven with very limited counter space may be a potential deal breaker for some as for me I'm kind of innovative type person, I'd probably find a way to make it work! Overall a Very nice 5th wheel with an excellent layout and very functional space with some innovation of it's own!
😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Josh buddy You do a Superb job on all your video's, 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Josh another great video. We currently have a rear kitchen model and love it. Our fridge is secured on the passenger wall. The location of this fridge will have items slide forward when traveling and when you open the door you may have to catch items. Not everything in the fridge can be stopped from sliding forward with the fridge bars. And the prep space is way away from the stove/oven.
Yeah I feel like this is best used at a destination mostly
This is a beautiful rig and it would be lovely for full-time living or placed permanently on a private site. I have a few problems with it though. That kitchen looks larger than my current kitchen but the space isn't utilized as nicely. There needs to be more space around the stove and a u-shaped back/side splash. I personally think they need to swap the positions of the stove and the microwave. If I'm putting something in the microwave, I've already prepped everything and the space they provided is adequate. If I'm cooking on the stove top it's likely that I still need to add things to the pan after it's on the heat and I need space next to the stove to make that work. I'm also find that having the stove closer to the sink is preferable.
If this rig had flush slide floors I'd love to swap one of the couches for a desk. Which couch would depend on how I use the rig though.
I'm not a fan of vessel sinks, I'm rather short and those sinks are just awkward to use. I understand a regular sink would take up some of that glorious storage space but in my case it would be worth the loss.
Does this rig have an on-demand water heater? If not, then it should. I must have missed you mentioning it. That shower stall looked wonderful and with on demand hot water I could probably stay there longer than I should.
I do love the fridge and that the outside fridge will work in transit if necessary.
Love it wish list tub and shower washer dryer remove I love seat add table/desk 1 recliner in the other spot where other love seat is love everything else
I was already thinking about "could I put a desk in that slide" when you did your fly-by. I like this floor plan, but she is a big girl. No half-tons need apply.
FORD RANGER FULL SEND BROTHER lol
Over all a very nice unit, good storage both inside and out. Floor plan is good and I like the convertable closet for either hanging items or shelf storage. Misses, where will a CPAP machine sit? They need to consider that. Perhaps a shelf above the window but then you will need a place to plug it in. Since this is setup as a couples unit, which is what I need, the eating situation is adequate. But, is that table elevated table portable?
12:11 a well place coat closet right by the entrance door 🚪 since they included a couple of coat 🧥 hooks🪝🪝👍🏽👍🏽
12:42 🥴🐙🥴🐙 to be exact 💪🏽 #FIGHT 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
Hey you can always go to builders supply and get cabinet doors
For the bathroom cabinets
👍🏻
They added them back into the 2023 models
I'm on board with you about the desk swap. I need a desk, and hoping to see a few more that have it. I'm not sure about that oven range placement though, and I think I'd prefer that microwave at ground zero, with shelf area above it, not below as it's configured there. I see a lot of bending over to find what your looking for or using your hand/arm to fish under there for stuff. Not fun. Overall though, it's seems like a pretty nice model.
I love those elevated kitchens with that counter/bar overlooking the living
Very Nice 💙 I wouldn't want a desk I like it the way it is
Fair enough! TY Buni! :)
10:07 I think 🤔 the versatility makes it more… well… versatile 🧐🙃
Dude.. nice
Definitely swap door side couch for Desk !! RiverStone and RiverStone reserve both have a floor plan similar to this but have desk instead of couch. But I’m sure you being the RV Nerd you already knew that 😂. Keep up the great videos ! While on the subject of rear kitchen plans. I’d love to see a KZ Durango 321 rkt if you ever have the opportunity to do video for one .
Lot of Durango requests. Definitely wanting to get some if I get the chance
I'd buy the solitude over this for one reason and its the island to me that's a much better thing to have for prep space and seating but this thing is one heck of a rig this type of floorplan has become one of my favorites but I do miss the nice front cap window of a front kitchen but the tongue weight on those are crazy so, beautiful unit tho I think a desk in the slide would be an issue tho as the slides on this aren't flush👍👍
I really wish I had these things side by side. Would love to run a comparison on them
This floorplan is perfect in almost every way👍I am just having a hard time keeping up with the ridiculous Jayco pricing, as their not even top of the line North point is now approaching $150,000!!!
To be fair - it's not just them. But yeah.. MSRP values have gone crazy. Sale pricing has jumped as well obviously. I was looking at our pricing files recently and noticed we are working on _surprisingly_ slim margins on these things right now to keep them moving
Even so.. pricing has gone up without question. Our margins are just quite low currently
I just had to because you said to shut up nerrrd😜 I enjoy your videos in all seriousness
😊
Agree, the desk would be a great idea. However, it’s too bad none of the slide floors are flushed. That’s a deal breaker for me.
I would add the desk by the door. When both beds are made out no one from the master bed can get to the kitchen.
This is exceptional! So well thought out. It’s just beautiful and it has everything I could ever want for full time living. I tried hard to find something I didn’t like about it……**crickets**
The best part? I can tow it with my 2011 F150!!!!!! The pin weight would be perfect🤣😂
Lol
No space around stove! Why?
Love this floor plan. I agree about the bathroom shelving, it needs doors, also the chairs for the cutting block pull out look too short. You look like your chin would rest on the table. Also would prefer pull out shelving in the microwave slide due to how deep it is. Would be nice if the bedroom had more space between wall and bed. Also just wanted to know if there are any plug ins on bathroom vanity? Both sides would be nice As we have plug in toothbrushes,plus of course hair dryers,etc. just my 2 cents worth…
2023's put doors back on the bath cabinetry which i love! :)
Bath vanity itself doesn't have plugs but there are some nearby
7:11 I’d love it even more if the pantry shelves had such functionality 🤨
Fair
Quick question are your sales down. Personally I decided not to take my camper out this year. for two reasons one obviously the cost of Gas. Two will nontoxic antifreeze be available in the fall.
Actually in my home store where this was recorded our sales are up vs last year
Very nice....good sized kitchen.
But who spilled the Kool-aid in the shower? 16:17
Shot the Kool-Aid man
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 *WOW* !! *This NEW North Point is Fabulous* !! *Wish I could have this BIG, flexible kitchen* !! *LOVE this Fifth Wheel* !! #JoshTheRVNerdAtBishsRV 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Definitely the cabinets in the bathroom NEEDS DOORS.
They fixed that in 2023 models thankfully
i love it but it's too big for my '13 F350 6.7l SRW isn't it?
Beautiful unbeatable quality.
but the wood too dark for my taste.
That style is no longer worn.
we are in the 21st century
They offer two decors. The other may be more to your liking
OR.. take a look at the Solitudes we carry. They also make a very similar layout with a very warm wood tone interior
25:29 😜 SAM MARTin #SMART 🤓 #aweSam 😎
hahahaha
I like how the Riverstone 391FSK is set up better than this one.
Award goes to Jayco for the worst possible locations for floor vents 🏆💩 Other than that it's gorgeous
Actually I do love this unit except position of toilet and missing half bath and outdoor griddle….
Cabinet construction? Vinyl print wrap trim?
Lumber core with a wrap
The fire extinguisher has got to go , not a good spot . The stove area is not tall enough you know what I mean ? And the COMMODE room is just ok . Hi
Why are TV's in campers so high up the wall anymore?
It's a residential trend and it's easy to build that way
I'm not saying it's the RIGHT answer. But that is THE answer
Saw a grand design 5th wheel with a entry door on bumper end of it....what is the deal
Yeah that's been done for years -- things like this: bit.ly/3s8D6uI
I want to love this kitchen, but it has two serious dings. For how big the space is and how creative they designers got, they completely ignored some basic functionality for the people who take home cooking seriously. There really needs to be more counter space on both sides of the stove to place prepped and cooked dishes. Am I supposed to make a trip back and forth to the available counter behind me for ingredients and to get hot cookery out of the way while I'm whipping up meals? As for that sink, where am I supposed to put washed dishes?? The drying rack can't exactly go on top of the sink while I'm doing the washing afterall.
At the price point of this RV, there should've been an island for the sink to be placed central (good for lefties and righties) with expandable flaps for more prep space and possible seating, the pantry should go next to the fridge in place of the sink, and the stove to go in the center of that slide (again, here for the lefties and righties) with full counterspace (including a pullout cutting board) and some consideration given to how annoying toe stub slides are.
*Steps down off of my insulted-tiny-home-cook soapbox*
I definitely have other dings for other parts of the RV, but my thumbs have run out of breath to grumble.
lol fair enough! I've yet to find the RV that works for everyone and I appreciate you sharing your take on it! :)
For what this is, and that it costs, I'm really amazed they couldn't put doors on the bathroom cabinets, a cold AND hot spray port, and a bigger awning that covers the slides as well...oh, and no slide toppers from the factory? That all should be standard. So many awesome features yet it seems like Friday came and the design team said 'ok, that's good enough.' Something on this level and this scale should never have stopped at just 'good enough.'
I love everything else about it but it just doesn't give me that all-inclusive 'warm and fuzzy' feeling about what I would end up getting out of it long term...if they cut such obvious corners, what else did they cheap out on that we can't see?
It was a trend they tried adopting. Word is they’re going back to bath cabinet doors in the future
sure, "once or twice a yr, pay someone to move it", so, how much $$ is that as wlel as cost of sitting in one spot for 6 to 12 months? luckily, mine is sitting on my buddies land for FREE.... but if i had this, that would NOT be the case
Was price mentioned?
It was not. Pricing can vary by multiple thousands of dollars based on shipping location, options, and changes in manufactures pricing since the time on my videos posts. I leave you a link in our video description where you can see any of these we have in stock with specific pricing at their specific locations and equipment loadout
R.I.P. Kool Aid man. Floor vents are infinitely worse than open bathroom storage. You could always just put doors on open storage, but covering floor vents invalidates them.
I get what you’re saying but as a counter point you don’t tend to cover floor vents permanently and tend to cover them when they’re not needed or in use
@@JoshtheRVNerd That's the point, you can't just cover them up or work around them forever. Eventually, you'll NEED them if the rig has them. Open storage can be altered without affecting the function of the RV. Hence, floor vents are worse.
The current Jayco interior colors just don’t do it for me. Don’t like the light or gray colors.
Fair enough. Ty for watching!!
Poorly placed oven and stove top would have been better placed on the other side with work space on on one or both sides and the microwave put where the oven stove top are
Is it sad that I'm actually looking for someone telling you to shut up lol.
