And there's way more to it than that. ## The mud room in the 2024 Cedar Creek 380MUD If you've ever spent a night in an RV – especially around dirt or mud – you can identify with the struggle of keeping the floors clean. Even with innovations like a built-in vacuum system, it's tough to keep all the dirt confined to where you take your shoes off. ![380MUD kitchen](https://imagedelivery.net/Jf9DRitYJ6pR6Mj8hCRBSg/15ab48b8-ccf0-4b24-4bf4-e93610365800/desktop1080) *Facing forward into the mud room from the kitchen* It's a great place to contain dirt and shoes as it's a step below the main floor of the RV. As an added bonus, it can turn into a contained pet area by adding a fence on one side. The height is also limited, but makes room for what you'll find above it: a loft, accessible from the front room just up the stairs. *But before you get there...* ## Front bedroom/office ![Just up the stairs facing forward](https://imagedelivery.net/Jf9DRitYJ6pR6Mj8hCRBSg/35fa4464-9d3f-47fc-554f-aad51fde5d00/desktop1080) *Just up the stairs facing forward* On your way to the loft, you'll enter the front room that has a desk, a murphy bed, and a jackknife sofa. ![Zooming out from the front murphy bed...](https://imagedelivery.net/Jf9DRitYJ6pR6Mj8hCRBSg/b34f3c22-e422-41a4-9620-d9f1ce8b3100/desktop1080) *Zooming out from the front murphy bed...* The door to the right, inside the front room, leads to a half bath. This is handy for anyone staying in the front room, as the main bathroom is in the rear of the RV, through the bedroom. ## Dual vanity bathroom ![The spacious bathroom with dual vanity facing rear](https://imagedelivery.net/Jf9DRitYJ6pR6Mj8hCRBSg/e965a63e-e7b1-4a57-0db7-221f31fa6d00/desktop1080) *The spacious bathroom with dual vanity facing rear* ## Other innovations To make up for the lack of available front-to-back space, the 380MUD hides the pantry behind the TV – a great way to take advanage of the RV's width with opposing slide outs – where space is at less of a premium. ![Hidden pantry behind the TV in the main room](https://imagedelivery.net/Jf9DRitYJ6pR6Mj8hCRBSg/6566899a-772a-41f9-5fde-64184eaaff00/desktop1080) *Hidden pantry behind the TV in the main room* ## But... The front room leaves something to be desired. With the murphy bed up, you'll find a desk near the window, but it's small. It would have been more interesting to have a desk integrated into the murphy bed frame when folded up so it could be larger. When the jackknife sofa is folded out, it's a tight squeeze. The TV is mounted in an awkward spot. And there's limited space to climb into the loft. All in all, the 380MUD is definitely worth a look if you find one at a local RV show or dealer. I love the direction Cedar Creek took here and look forward to see the refinements they'll continue to make. ## [Explore the Cedar Creek 380MUD](https://rvenvy.com/fifth-wheel-trailers/forest-river/cedar-creek/380mud) - [Forest River Cedar Creek 380MUD](https://rvenvy.com/fifth-wheel-trailers/forest-river/cedar-creek/380mud): 43 ft 5 in, sleeps 4, 18,000 lbs GVWR, MSRP $144,257 --- ## More from Spotlight - [Coachmen Teleos: Is this Forest River's answer to Airstream and Brinkley RV?](https://rvenvy.com/spotlight/coachmen-teleos-by-forest-river): The just-announced Coachmen Teleos might just signal a return to focus on quality instead of a race to the bottom on price. - [Newmar Dutch Star/Ventana 4369: Two late-model units just listed](https://rvenvy.com/spotlight/newmar-dutch-star-ventana-4369-for-sale): Two hard to find, well-maintained, luxury coaches at two price points just became available at a trusted, private party dealer in Tampa, Florida - [4 months in the 2021 Cedar Creek Champagne 38EKS](https://rvenvy.com/spotlight/cedar-creek-champagne-38eks-review): We bought a Cedar Creek Champagne 38EKS on a whim at the 2021 Tampa RV Show.
