After months of shopping and review (quite a bit of it here! Thanks RVInsider!) I've just picked up a 2019 Grand Design Solitude 380FL. We knew we wanted a front living floor plan but just about everything else was up in the air. After looking at so many RVs, all I can say is how shocked I was by how many RV manufacturers there are out there building extremely disappointing RVs. Even some that I thought were supposed to be high quality just felt flimsy and fragile with obvious short-cuts taken everywhere you look. Open Range was the most surprising. I've always been told they are some of the best, but after a jammed-open black tank valve and a the salesman telling my wife "Oh no the floor flexing like that is pretty much standard in everything you're going to look at." No, it's not. Grand Design floor are absolutely rock solid. Another surprising flaw to compare with Open Range is the lack of storage. In their flagship FL model, they built in (I think) 8ft ceilings in the rear bedroom. Grand Design opted to elevate the bedroom, creating massive amounts of storage space beneath. More storage than I think I'll ever practically use. The floor plan is incredible. Almost every other FL seemed to have either a half-bath or pantry in the kitchen. Grand Design put both in this unit, which just feels amazing! Last up is the rear bathroom. In 2019 they switched it up to include the most amazing bathroom I've ever seen in an rv, (and most houses honestly. The shower isn't the largest, but has about a 4 inch drop and a decent amount of space. The toilets are solid, the double vanity is awesome and there's enough space to do yoga. All of the wood feels like actual finished wood. It is clearly NOT that awful particle board with some wood panel cover/sticker crap that just peels off. The counters are actually solid. Everything is just so solid! The only star I can dock from Grand Design is in the towing category because with all the solid construction, these things are HEAVY! A full 2000 lbs higher dry weight vs. the Open Range, but again, that weight savings is what made the Open Range feel so flimsy.

I purchased a Grand Design RV because they reportedly were a high quality unit and excelled at customer service. My refrigerator failed after the first year and was repaired under warranty. The repair failed less than a year later. This time I was told I was on the hook for repairs as the warranty had expired. This in spite of the ongoing problems with the refrigerator. I called Grand Design and they couldn't have cared less. They said it was Dometic's problem as they manufactured the refrigerator. I was stunned that a company that advertised themselves as wanting customers for life treats their customers this way. Grand Design doesn't stand behind their product. To say that they have customer service is an oxymoron.

We bought this RV because Grand Design was purported as producing a high quality product with an emphasis on customer service. The overall quality of the RV is good but the Dometic components are junk. Also, Grand Design customer service is non-existent. Their mode of operation is to sidestep any responsibility for problems and defer the customer to the manufacturer of the problematic component. The customer has to do all of the leg work! When the warranty expires you are on your own whether the problem is fixed or not.

We love the layout and it tows nice but pray no problems arise. Grand Design claims to make customer service a priority but nothing could be further from the truth. Their customer service procedure is simply to shirk responsibility and defer you to the manufacturer of whatever component you have problems with. The customer is left to fend for themself and at their expense.

The Bathroom is the main reason we chose this unit. Perfect for empty nesters who have occasional visitors. Our 3350 Rig has consistently performed well and held up well. The few items we had to deal with, electric chair control box was replaced easily and quickly by Grand Design. Towing is marked with a four instead of a five, really due to our first timer inexperience. The size of this rig, when you've got it loaded was just a smidge overweight for our half ton truck. It was night and day difference in how much smoother and easier this rig was to tow once we upgraded to a one ton truck. Now, it is a 5 star tow experience. The floor plan functions very well and holds everything nicely for travel. I would buy another Grand Design without hesitation due to the design, durability of the product and customer service after the purchase from Grand Design.

I have been an RVer since childhood. I have owned travel trailers and a Grand Design 2019 Solitude 380 FL-R. This 5th wheel is one of the BEST long term, over the road rig available. This is a 4 season rig made for the gray and for frigid temperatures, whether traveling through Florida or Arizona in the summer, or enjoying the could-frigid weather of the northeastern states like Maine in the winter, this rig is fit for all environments. Two large A/C’s keep you cool centrally in the summer and three separate heating sources ( heat pump/gas or electric furnace/ living room fireplace). The unit Sleeps 6 large adults comfortably. With the nicety of two bathrooms, there is never a line waiting for restroom privileges. The residential refrigerator, large cooking surface and oven makes you feel as if you are at home. The master bedroom’s 14” mattress is so comfortable one has challenges getting out of bed in the morning to watch the sunrise. This by far is the Best rig I have ever owned. Never an issue with any of the rigs workmanship. Grand Design did an Outstanding job with this 5th wheel. 5 Stars no doubt.
