We ordered our unit in Aug 2008 and intended to get a 36RSSB3. But we found out when we contacted a dealer by phone, DRV had just added a couple of new floorplans. I didn't like the desk/cabinet in the 38TKSB3 blocking off the view to the television and we definitely didn't want the peninsula island anymore.
The 38RSSB floorplan didn't exist for 2009. But living in our 2006 36TK3, we knew through the Suite forum members that it was easy to change a TK into an Island. Since we had granite in our Elite and both of us wanted a SB, we jumped on the opportunity to customize our new one.
They labeled the unit a 38TKSB. Frame show 38RLSB/38TKSB. They reconfigured the entertainment ctr and the peninsula countertop into an Island. We also had the Island extended into the living rm an additional 12" which gave us an end cabinet.
Kitchen area and counter in the slide is the exact configuration of the 36TK3 ES we had traded in. So the ent ctr is wider since we gained some length in the 38' living area.
From what I've seen in the new 2011 38RSSB's, they have enlarged the kitchen counter in the slide, while making the ent ctr somewhat smaller than our 71" one. So ours may be truly "one of a kind". Especially now with the 2011 dinette added by Indiana Interstate Ent.
