I actually designed this floor plan for Grand Design but could not get them to make the garage a full 10' so our kayaks would fit. Therefore we bought the Keystone. Only the 380/381TH allows you to carry BOTH a motorcycle AND kayaks. You can also carry a jet ski or a trail sized side by side. If your less than 10' ONLY thing your carrying is a motorcycle!
We dearly love our 381TH despite what the uppity Montana owners say about High Countries! Having said that if the start building a wide body high end model in the same floor plan (with perhaps a wider garage on a wide body?) then we will gladly trade in the 381TH. Until then the snooty Montana owners (not all of them but they know who they are) can bite it. Besides when the million dollar Class A diesel pusher pulls up with the 24' enclosed toy trailer (with matching paint scheme of course) pulls up nobody with a 5th wheel is going to be bragging..........
If your on a budget and need the full 10' long garage, buy the 381TH. If you have the resources have New Horizons build the same floor plan on a wide body 5er for you (wish I had known about them before we bought the 381TH to be honest). If you have unlimited cash to throw away buy a Class A diesel pusher with a matching enclosed trailer (I will be the green guy next door when you pull up!).

I agree, we love ours, as a contractor I approach problems with the intent to correct them & move on to the next. I have fixed ours & am now starting to make some improvements & upgrades. We buy what works best for us, not out to impress any one, don't need the newest or best, thats not what camping is about. We had a wolfpack with no slides, always had a good time, now the 381 has a floor plan that is great for what we do & we are enjoying it. My advice is get what works for you & don't look back. mtlakejim, if this was based on your design, good call!
