It is too bad that the SOITC website seems to be still down--a majority of the newer owners posted about their units there.

Be aware that DRV is now owned by Heartland/Thor....

As far a major problems, I seem to hear about those with just about EVERY brand now and again--seems the industry is still in the "Don't buy a unit made on Monday or Friday"--except that DRV units take much longer than a day to make.

I would get any agreement to have the unit serviced by a "properly qualified mobile technician" in writing from both DRV AND the selling dealer. The PDI is also a very important part of the sale--strictly dependent on the integrity of the selling dealer.

Rolling Retreats and RVs4Less seem to get good reports on the quality of the PDI that they do for the DRV units.

Have you considered a Mobile Suites instead of a Tradition? Have you looked at both yet? Recommend that you do that before purchase...

Let us know how it goes...

ON EDIT: I have assumed that you were looking at new--is the Tradition a used unit?
