Jo and I have also looked at the Carriage units. Unfortunately, even though Carriage may build their own frame, that doesn't necessarily translate into a better frame. DRV's frame is 15" of triple-box construction while Carriage's is 12" of double-box construction. Also, the wall construction and materials used that I have been able to see in the Carriage units don't match up to DRV.

I have to agree that one cannot expect perfection. When I used to sell cars, one comment that was frequently made was that even Rolls Royce and Jaquar also had service departments. Meaning that they ALL have problems.
