The sleeping capacity of eight beckons friends and family, while the outdoor security cameras help ensure everyone’s safety.

My rating for the North Point 382FLRB is high. Justifiably so. One of the few things holding this model back is the lack of natural lighting. But altogether, this design fulfills the needs of nomadic full time RVers that want to bring the kids and grandkids on extended weekends. It would also fit the bill for weekend warriors that want to bring family members along. The North Point 382FLRB is a showstopper, with special attention paid to the kitchen’s residential functions and space, and a luxurious living area. If you are looking for an RV that will make you forget you ever left the comforts of home, this unit checks the boxes, even exceeding those comforts in some areas.

Key Areas We Evaluate for RV Buyers

Sleeping Space

The master bedroom in the North Point 382FLRB boasts a whopping king-size walkaround bed, with ample storage for full-time living. Across from the bed, there are two long, mirrored wardrobes with drawers underneath. Between those drawers sits a perfect little bench atop two drawers. (I love the additional seat here, because sometimes you just need a place to sit in your room that is not a bed.) Above the bench is a nook for a modest TV that won’t impede your ability to walk around the bed. 

Inside the wardrobe is an option to lift up some of the shelves, in case you prefer a taller storage space for hanging dresses or long shirts. Upon opening a drawer in this bedroom I was met with handcrafted dovetail joints, a reminder of the high-quality construction that this unit embodies. I believe that small details like this can shed light on the construction of other, less obvious parts of the unit. They could have easily put unfinished, splintery plywood in the bones of these drawers and cabinets, but instead they chose to exemplify craftsmanship in places where not everyone might notice. (That is something I can put my money behind.)

In the living room, there are two couches opposite each other that fold into sizable beds, comfortably sleeping four kids — or extended family and friends. If kids are staying in this RV with you, rest assured knowing that the kitchen and spare bathroom are accessible to them without disrupting your morning beauty rest in the king-size master bedroom on the other end of the unit. And the raised floor plan of the living space also gives the room a delineated appeal for guests staying over. 

 

 

Bathroom

The North Point 382FLRB is equipped with two bathrooms. That makes this unit a great choice for traveling families that don’t want to share their bathroom with kids. (I get it. I mean, sometimes a girl just wants to brush her teeth alone, without two kids underfoot.) The cozy little guest bathroom is tucked on the edge of the kitchen, for guest use. It is fully-equipped with all the essentials and storage. It is cleverly placed, at the edge of the kitchen where it can be accessed without disrupting the master bedroom. 

The master bathroom is jaw dropping. It is a suite in itself, packing enormity in full force. You might even be able to fit a treadmill in here and still be able to perform all your daily ablutions. I can say from all my years of residential experience that it is probably twice as big as any residential bathroom I have ever had. This is just another example of how the North Point 382FLRB will quickly make you forget that you are living in an RV. You may even be making an upgrade from your residential life into this unit. 

The dual sinks in the bathroom can comfortably fit two people without bumping elbows. The vanities are warm and back-lit, offering you a gentle start to your morning. There are plenty of drawers and cabinets to store all of your bathroom amenities, as well as hooks to hang your towels. The larger tiled shower is show stopping, with enough space for two, and a lovely wooden folding bench with a skylight above.

 

 

Living Area

From the kitchen, the living area of the North Point 382FLRB is a few steps away, elevated in height and luxury. One thing I find unique and surprisingly tasteful, is the delineation of the kitchen and living space. When I’m at home, in a residential house, I like to be right in the middle of the action while I’m cooking for everyone. Our kitchen and living room are one, and in a residential house that floorplan functions nicely.

But in an RV, cooking for guests in the middle of a living space can feel cramped and overwhelming. I welcome the option to have a separate, distraction free space for camp cooking. But if you want to be included in the party, no worries! Simply push a button and the TV will lower into a pedestal, reintegrating the kitchen and living space. Amazing! The duality of functional spaces is a treat to witness.

 

Amenities Galore! 

The amenities and spacious seating arrangement under ambient strip lighting sets the mood for comfortable time spent indoors. You will love hosting friends and family in this unit. Right before the football game starts, you can reach behind the sofa and push a button to deploy the TV from the pedestal separating the kitchen space. It’s a showstopper. And if you are a full-time traveling family, your kids will never want to leave the comforts of this living space. If there is a chill in the air, the heating option on the theater seats will give your bum a little warming action. The power recliners and butt warmer will keep you on the couch, cozy and comfortable until the weather is ripe for exploration.  

My only beef with the living space is the lack of natural light. The windows are small and sparse. For some that may not be an issue, but for me it’s a problem. 

 

 

Kitchen

Packing an RV refrigerator with all the essentials for preplanned meals usually requires a lot of sacrifice in a standard sized RV fridge. But here, in the North Point 382FLRB, eliminating bulky vegetables during your meal prep will no longer be a necessary sacrifice. This unit comes with a 21-cubic-foot fridge. The convection microwave is equipped with an air fryer, above a four-burner stove on a 24” range. Your work in the kitchen is appreciated in the North Point 382FLRB! 

I have to say that one of my favorite functional and feng shui elements of this RV’s design is the island/sink. I think it ties the space together and highlights fun features like the glass washer, vegetable finder, and button-activated drain adjustor. Nowadays with modern appliance designs, a sink is a thing of beauty. So, why shouldn’t it be in the center of a room? The island also offers a hefty amount of additional storage in the drawers and cupboards underneath it. 

The dinette shares space with the kitchen, under a small window near the entrance. It is cleverly constructed to roll out with ease, extending leaf by leaf to accommodate more guests. Fully extended, it will comfortably seat four. Others will need to sit in the living space available upstairs if the RV is at full capacity. The theater seats have rotating TV tables attached to the arms that will accommodate two more for eating. That leaves a tabled seating deficit of two, if you are at full capacity of eight. A great feature in this unit is the fully functioning outdoor kitchen equipped with a sink, two-burner stove, fridge, counter space, and drawers that pull out on durable tracks.

 

 

Four-Season Capabilities 

The layout of this design and warm ambient interior lends itself to spending time inside. So, if you plan to be somewhere with a harsh climate, whether it be too hot or too cold, the North Point 382FLRB is designed to keep you comfortable and entertained indoors. Let’s face it, a trip to the beach in the summer is great, but only during the early hours of the morning, and the twilit hours of the evening. 

This unit comes ready for the Overlander 2, 4, or EXT Solar Package, each inclusive of 200-watt solar panels, controllers, and inverters, allowing you to keep your appliances running off grid. The heated underbelly and heated tanks are another feature that will extend your camping season well into the colder months. The innoflame electric heater is a great option for when you’re plugged into power and want to conserve propane.  But if you do need to use your propane tanks for heat, you will have three 40-pound tanks at your disposal, keeping you from frequently refilling at the store. 

 

 

Storage Space 

The storage available in this is plentiful and intentional. Two passthrough storage compartments underneath the rig lends itself to ease and convenience. The outdoor kitchen also has a quant and clever drawer to hold some extra cooking tools. The king-size master bed lifts with hydraulic assisted ease offering massive storage space, easy to access, in the bedroom. For a sleeping capacity of eight, you will not lack in storage. Of course, this feature is subjective to every person. Some people travel light, and some people travel heavy. But whether you are packing heavy or light, there should be all the space necessary for eight people to bring along their functional necessities, toys, and creature comforts. 

There is a tall closet near the entrance door with a deep compartment for shoes. It comes with shelves that collapse so you can use the storage in different ways, depending on the season. In the winter you may want to collapse the shelves and use the space for long coats, but in summer you can use more shelves for smaller things.

 

 

Closing Notes on the North Point 328FLRB 

One of my favorite features in this unit is Jayco’s new Nuvo water filtration system. Living on the road usually requires sacrificing things like filtered water. But more and more, families are starting to feel the importance of clean, filtered drinking water. I appreciate having that option on the road. 

Another feature that I love is the security camera function. Whether you are camping in an area with extreme wildlife, or near a highly trafficked greenway or city park, it can really pay to have a security monitoring system for peace of mind and added safety.
