    You could check with Customer Service at Grand Design and ask if your interior cabinets are the same stain/shade as a 2020 Solitude. Minwax Jacobean 2750 is a perfect match for our cabinetry.

    The Chatham Maple of the GD Solitude is tricky, and you are against a piece of photolam versus the real wood used in the cabinet doors and drawer fronts. As @Second Chance suggests, Jacobean is a fair complement. The challenge you have is that maple is not just maple, and the particular species and well as how and where the lumber was taken from the log (peeled in case of the plywood) take stain VERY differently. This is why so much maple in cabinet work is not stained, just sealed whether with old school varnish, tung oil, or polyurethane. Gel stains tend to be the best bet to even out these variations, but you're past that point. You may wish to do a little experimenting with sit time, number of coats, or blending some colors to even out between the frame and the panel. If you go to a good woodworker's supply, they often have manufacturer-trained specialists that can just eyeball what you are doing and get your color where you want rapidly with the higher-end finishing material available there versus big box and general handyman supply houses. If you are curious, GD does not actually stain their hardwood. It's all a spray-applied colorant coat and why they get more even results between the solid hardwood and plywood panel inserts where they use actual wood materials.
