A question for you Grand Design Solitude 390RK owners....We are considering trading our Heartland 5er for a Grand Design Solitude 390RK-R. We have not been to visit one in person yet for a myriad of reason but I wanted to get some feedback from current owners of that model before we go to the dealership.Can someone post a photo of the inside of the coach -> looking from the door back to the kitchen with the slides IN? I can't see to find a photo of that anywhere.Are you able to control the slides individually? Since the refrigerator and kitchen are all the way in the back (which we think we like), it kinda makes it a little more difficult to stop by the side of the road for quick lunch if you have to run out all the slides.We are not full timers (weekenders trending towards anytimers) so our unit has to sit in a covered storage facility for a few months at a time. Due to size/width restrictions, I have to store my RV with slides IN. On my current 5er, we are able to leave the refrigerator doors open to help with ventilation, mold, sell, etc. Is this even possible with the 390RK? Last question - tell me things you don't like about your 390RK.Thank you.Chris

I wouldn’t take anyone’s word as answers for your questions. An in person inspection is the best source.

I can't answer your question specifically but we really like our new to us 2018 Solitude 310GK. Grand Design owners have a very active forum here:Grand Design Owners ForumYou'll probably get more specific answers to your particular model there.

Ron - time to change your signature?...Rob

I found a video on youtube that shows the control panel (at the 42:30 time). Looks like there are four individual slide switches.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKhthTAqXvQ

One thing in GD's favor and it's not even GD sponsored is the Grand Design Owners Forum is without a doubt the best brand forum on the net.
I read it everyday as you can always learn a new trick or two. Very little bickering over there and lots of helpful advice for GD owners.
I think that is a big plus for many. It may be kool aid drinking but as we all know RV's are money pits and most all will develop a problem eventually. So having a place thats brand oriented really helps.

Sorry can't help with the slides.

That forum was a lot better prior to Winnie coming along.

Actual Grand Design factory reps used to frequent it then a good number of mods jumped ship over to the new factory sponsored forum when Winnie came along. It was quite full of drama at the time. There is little bickering due to the fact its heavily censored, posts /threads are deleted at will, even more so than here, and anyone posting negative experiences are bounced out in short order.

I can't answer your question on the 390RK, but I can tell you that I just traded a 2016 Bighorn for my new Solitude 310GK and the fit and finish is far superior to the Bighorn. I had loads of Bighorn issues in the first year and essentially zero issues at PDI and first trip with the Solitude. Good luck!
