today I am going to take you on a tour
hello and welcome back to the channel if you are new here my name is Charity and
my husband Ben is usually behind the camera sometimes he's on camera with me
but we wanted to take a moment to say welcome and check out all of the videos
that we have regarding RV life and RV living today we're gonna take you on a
tour of the grand design reflection 311BHS and I think you're gonna
love this model as much as I do for its family-friendly
floorplan so let's go inside and check it out
so we're gonna start in the kitchen because if you have a family then you
probably know that the kitchen tends to be kind of the hub of where everything
happens so there are several things that I love
about the kitchen setup in this particular model I love this is a huge
counter area so not only can you have kind of your coffee or whatever else
here but your instant pot anything that you need to set up kind of for cooking
if you use an electric plug-in griddle this is plenty of counter space to be
able to have all of those and then right underneath here are two different
outlets so you've got a total of four outlets that are right here back here in
this little storage area there's some USB port so you've got USB ports to
charge any devices there are so much cabinet space in this particular unit
nice big deep cabinets all throughout this kitchen area plenty of room for
storage you've got all of these drawers here you've got these drawers here and
then more cabinet space you know here this is solid but you've got plenty of
space in here so overall just love this setup you've got your sink here in this
particular sink is like your one big farmhouse sink right in here so you've
got all of this right here you can put this back on for more counter space
behind here are more cabinet options so you've got all of this space out here
huge huge open space down here underneath the sink area and then you've
got all of these drawers here is well three really nice sized drawers here and
then over here we've got the microwave can vac
of in combo now the microwave convection oven combo is absolutely wonderful if
you don't want to have to use the stove all of the time to use the convection
oven option in the microwave we use that in our rig all the time so you've got
your three burner gas stove here your oven down here and then of course some
storage right down here below the oven and then more storage here next to the
stove this goes back quite a ways so there's a ton of storage that is
available right here the other thing that I love about most of these grand
design models is they have a pantry this cabinet has a light that has a sensor
that is operated then when you close it it will turn off and then when you open
it that light will turn on so you can see into your pantry area which is
something that I absolutely love and then over here you've got your four door
norcold fridge so this fridge is about the exact same size fridge that we
currently have in our rig as well so this is a great sized fridge for a
family the freezer has two separate sides to it and I've been able to fit
one t of stuff in our fridge freezer for our family while we're on the road so
this is a great sized fridge especially if you have a family so let's come over
here and let's talk about the living space now I absolutely love this living
space with this slide-out gives you lots of room to walk around you've got some
more storage in your cabinets up here above where the TV is
you've got your sound system right in here you've got your fireplace which is
beautiful and then check out this little storage area right here this is perfect
for the kids DVDs or anything that you want to put in there next to the TV area
but perfect little storage area in there and then more storage here so I love
this networks great for books or anything that you want to stick up in
there I don't personally put out a lot of decorations but I love that there's
kind of these little nook shelves if that's your thing I would see myself
using command hooks and utilizing that space for those types of things and then
you've got more cabinet storage down here as well which is just absolutely
wonderful and then above word that the couch area is you've got more storage up
here which these overheads are great for storage we have some of these overheads
in our current rig and if you're curious about our current rig we'll put a link
up above to our RV tour of the RV that we are currently using so I love these
overhead cabinet storage in then you've got your couch here you've got the
heated the little lights and the cup holder the massage which is really just
more of like a vibration thing and then you've got your reclining as well so you
can just kick back and watch a movie or whatever you want to do so very nice
little couch setup with all of the cup holders that are in there and then the
dinette is also great because this can go down for sleeping if need be so I do
personally like the dinettes that have the option to convert into sleeping
space when needed now with a family I personally like to keep the dinette open
for eating but I like the option because every once in a while we have extended
family and the cousins and everything that want to come along in so that makes
for a great extra sleeping area when you've got that option so let's go take
a look the bunkhouse so back here you have a
whole separate kind of bunk room or what I would envision is the kids room so
let's go check it out
so I am loving this space for kids so you've got a bunk that is up here then
you also have this bunk up here as well as this couch down here now I love that
this bunk folds up and out of the way so you can have seating on this couch if
you wanted it or folding this out into another sleeping space if you needed it
so depending upon your family size lots of options for different size of
families another thing I love about this is again the storage back here is great
so you've got this very large storage area with a bar hang your clothes here
shoes under there you've got more USB ports here there is
a mount here for a TV if you would want to put one in there tons of drawer space
so in our particular rig the storage tubs we use versus the drawers I usually
do one kiddo per drawer or per tub so plenty of drawer space to be able to put
everything per kid or however you choose to organize that but three of those
there and then these shelves that have this lid are perfect for things like
books or school books or whatever you need to put there the other thing I like
is this back here which because it's on the floor makes great to just throw all
the shoes or anything like that there that you don't necessarily want to get
into a drawer because there might be dirt and things here's something else I
love about this particular layout a second bathroom so you've got your
toilet you've got your sink having a second bathroom when you are a full-time
family is absolutely wonderful to have and if there's one thing I wish we could
change about our current rig it would be a second bathroom
because with kiddos it's nice to let them have their own space and how about
a second bathroom so great thing that I like about this particular bunk house
area so now that we've taken a look at the kids room let's go look at mom and
dad's room
now I love this particular space you've got a queen bed back here in the bedroom
but you've also got kind of this little mini dresser area with huge drawer space
I mean we're talking very large drawer space right here with these drawers
another one here a closet space here and then this closet also comes into the
bathroom area which will show that here in just a minute but another thing I
like about this particular model is all of the cabinet space above the bed
you've got plenty of cabinet space above the bed as these cabinets go all the way
across another thing is you've got your outlets here with this little shelf here
so one thing that's really great is you can put your phones to plug your
charters in here set your devices right up here at night if you wanted to or I
love that there's a little nightstand area as well and check this out more
storage down here so you can put more things down here as well
I love that grand design does such a great job of being aware of utilizing
space when it comes to storage because if you've been on the road for any
length of time or if you're considering going on the road you're going to
quickly come to the realization that storage space is at a premium and it's
nice to utilize any and all open spaces that you have for storage purposes so it
looks like this whole kind of closet area would be on the slide so the nice
thing about this is that this slide is going to come in this way so if you are
traveling with this rig you will still have access to this front bathroom
through the other door if you do need to stop pull over somebody's got to go
potty because that's gonna happen while you're traveling so it's nice to know
that you don't cut off access to any of your bathrooms as you're traveling when
your slides are pulled in so the nice thing about this particular floor plan
and set up is you can go right from the master bedroom into the
bathroom area you've got two separate entrances this one that goes into the
bedroom and then this one that goes out into your hall area the medicine cabinet
is all right here nice storage space that is all in here you've got your
storage underneath which is nice deep storage there plenty of room for other
things over here then this closet which kind of half of it is in the master
bedroom then happening that's in the bathroom so you've got this kind of
closet space here and then another drawer here which is great to put any of
your towels or anything like that where you kind of have half of that available
in the bathroom area so that you can use it for storage with things like linens
the shower here is decent size and I am a pretty tall person so with this
skylight being right above there's quite a bit of head space I'm almost 6 foot
tall and I have no problem with Headroom in this particular shower you step out
you got to kind of make sure you don't hit this but nice shower doors there to
be able to get in and out of the shower area and then of course you've got your
porcelain toilet right here as well so on the outside you've got some pretty
decent storage this storage does all the way through so it's passed through
storage here plenty of space to be able to store whatever you need to store
underneath your rig here and then you've got your propane in here for when you
need to fill up on your propane so underneath the front here more storage
so plenty of space to store anything that you need to store underneath this
area here and then over here on the opposite side of your pass-through
storage you've got all of your water hookups and you've got your handles for
your drain your tank so your gray and your black
tanks you've got your handles for all of those right here tucked right back in
here are your auto Levellers so this is where that you access those Levellers
and the little control center is right in here so in here you've got another
one of your propane tanks now these are 30 gallons each so with one on either
side you've got 60 gallons total propane capacity which is really nice to be able
to use your gas stove or if you need to use your furnace or if you happen to be
using gas to run the refrigerator so this particular rig has two separate
awnings you've got your main on in here and then you've got another awning that
comes out over that's attached to this slide but let me show you something on
this that I think it's really cool you have got a whole outdoor kitchen space
here so you've got your two burner stove here you got a sink here plenty of
counter space here to be able to prep food or whatever you like more storage
I love storage everywhere that you can have storage you've got more storage
here and you also have another outdoor little fridge here so these are great
for drinks and things like that to have outside so this particular setup is
perfect for you and your family to be able to really enjoy being outside and
have your outside cooking area set up for you all right here so thank you so
