    As alluded to, the "no carpet in slide" is not an option. GD started this about the middle of the 2020 model year production run. Prior to the changes, the pin boxes were RotoFlex and there was carpet in the slide. After the changes, the pin boxes are MORryde and there is no carpet in the slide.

    If the outside kitchen you're asking about is the one that slides out of the main basement storage area, it is HUGE and occupies roughly 75% of that area.

    Are you the person with a family of five and a need for storing products in the basement? Fuggedaboudit with that kitchen installed. We bought our trailer off the lot and it had the kitchen in it, so I've seen it. As a condition of purchase we had it removed and got a credit for it. There are just two of us and we pack pretty light but there's no way we could live with the tiny amount of storage space left when that kitchen was installed. The 377MBS storage area may be a bit larger to begin with than our 310GK, but the kitchen would still be a very big hit on that space. Plus a big hit on weight - I'll bet it weighs well over 200 pounds.

    Just the furniture changed in 2018 models when Linen began appearing. If anything else changes in later model years it's pretty subtle; I've been in 2019s. Maybe someone who has a 2020 will jump in.

    Got it, then that takes up way too much space for our purposes.

    Yes, we were considering placing our product in the basement if I can figure out a relatively easy and efficient way to cool the basement, but that is not looking too promising. We were considering the basement pull out kitchen if we were not going to place product down there, but, not if it takes up 75% of the space. Thanks for the info.

    I just got a 3'x6' folding table from Wal-Mart and a Weber Q2200, completely satisfies our outdoor kitchen needs so far. Stows easily in the pass through when not in use. I modified my Weber so it hooks up to the trailer propane quick disconnect fitting. My trailer has a built in outdoor kitchen by the bunk room and I actually just tore everything out and put in shelving there to store stuff.

    On the generator, it will definitely be cheapest to get the 5500w factory installed. If you decide to not do this and get your own, get the 7000w. Exact same footprint as the 5500w.

    Don't know if the carpet on our '18 377MBS is good to have or not in the dining area. The 6 and 12 yr old grandsons can make quite a mess if you don't watch them. No outside kitchen on ours either...use the cargo room for a Coleman RoadTrip grill and a 22" Blackstone grill. I bring at least one plastic folding table. I take a 80 qt boiling pot and burner if we plan to boil seafood. I like the room in the cargo bin on the 377 and no slide out to hit your head on above it!
