We currently have a 2022 Reflection 295RL and were looking into stepping up to a Solitude this year. We like the 380FL-R best. I'm concerned about not having access to any bathroom with the slides in though. Is there something I'm missing that helps with this? It looks like you can get to half of the fridge.

Based on the floorplan your concerns are valid IMO and I don't see any way around the issue. Having access to the bathroom while on the road (without opening a slide) was a non-negotiable, must have on my DW's list.Originally posted by ajw1970 View Post
I also agree, based on the floorplan drawing, that the right side of the refrigerator is accessible. Similar to many other GD floorplans (like the 315RLTS that I have).

That was one of the main reasons why we went with the 375 (now 376) over the 380. I like having access to the bathroom on the road. However unless your real small you can't get to the fridge at all in the 375. With the dinette slide in its very close to the hutch. Not sure on the 380.Originally posted by ajw1970 View PostJim & Heidi

We also choose the 375 RES for bathroom & bedroom access while traveling without having the slides out. The trade off though is no kitchen/fridge access as we are not skinny nor flexible enough to get past the counter and slide boxes to get into the kitchen.Scott & Mikaela

We did end up buying the 380FL but went with the 2024 with the 12v fridge.
I learned about the slide control valves that let you open one side and not the other. I haven't tried them yet but found them on the passenger side above the propane tank.Last edited by ajw1970; 09-09-2023, 07:26 AM.2024 Grand Design Solitude 380FL
