PROs vs CONs for Solitude 375RES-R
We are close to pulling the trigger on a 2020 375RES-R. We are planning to full-time and trading in our Class-C MH. Any thoughts on the 375RES-R? Good or Bad?
Thanks.

The 375 is a great floorplan but the cargo capacity doesn't match the storage space given. If you do a search you'll find several threads about the 375 and weight and suspension issues.

My wife and I have been researching for a long time and really liked the layout of the 375RES. However after digging deeper, I found the suspension inadequate considering the HUGE amount of storage space available. You might want to think about how much stuff you plan to carry. More info here:

I've had mine for 9 months now and really love it. The living space inside is amazing. The rear living room is what sealed the deal for me. As someone said, you just have to be a little careful and not overload it. You definitely want a dually to pull it. When I go full-time in it in a few years I plan on just clothes, food, and the essentials to set up camp in the storage areas. It really is a beautiful roomy rig. Good luck!

Nice floor plan. What scared us off the solitude line was lack of 3 axles which in turn reduces ccc and lack of 3 air conditioner option.
Price vs a momentum was close enough given the difference we couldn't justify giving those items up.
Start adding options and that ccc goes down quick.2019 Momentum 395

We love our 375RES, we store camp games in the rear, mostly on the curb site, nothing in the sliding tray, and hardly anything on the street side. On big trips, we take two 11 foot kayaks, they fit easily. Love this floor plan, we winter camp in New Hampshire, and enjoy spending a lot of weekends in our 375!

You will love owning a 375RES, it's got the wow factor like no other rv we have ever owned. If ours burned to the ground, I would go out and order a another one just like it. We upgraded the Westlake tires upon purchase, and will be doing a MorRyde IS suspension with disc brakes next year. Ours was ordered with Dual Pane windows, king bed, and heat pump on A/C.

Awesome! Yes, we are excited and are looking forward to getting it. Haven't decided on the dual pane windows yet (probably will). Definitely going with the heat pump. Also thinking about a tankless water heater. I know the unit has a 12 gallon heater standard. Any thoughts either way?
