Needless to say the DRV factory tour experience was the turning point in our decision. I highly recommend a tour of the factory if at all possible.
A Factory Tour is definitely an eye opener. We also went to Carriage and then DRV back in July of 2008. We wanted to compare their high end Royal's to our Elite. The Carriage Tour was taken with a Cameo owner who was in for warranty work. He had been on the DRV tour the previous week. While David asked questions to the Carriage employee, the Cameo owner kept telling me how DRV compared. He couldn't stop raving about DRV's differences.

The next day on DRV's tour, we saw the changes on the 2009 Suites. We couldn't wait to get to our next project and order a new Suite. Also on the tour was the Cameo owner's friends who owned a Montana.

PS: Dale, Thanks for the link to your Suite. It's always fun seeing the custom changes. It gives potential owners fantastic ideas.
