If you were looking for a good custom built item you had two options. New Horizons and Space Craft. Both build to customer specs and do top level work. They are also more expensive.

DRV has a hot or miss reputation. The apologists will tell you that all RV manufacturers have problems. The fan boys will tell you DRV never makes any mistakes. Others like myself are dearly disappointed in what happened to our rigs ands spent years as well as many dollars to fix the mistakes at the factory. Some of us are still dealing with problems years later.

If you are really going to go over it I would hope you are taking delivery at the factory. Dealers have a hard time making things right on their margin. Quite a few of us have found out that in order to get things fixed to what they were supposed to be in the first place, a visit to the factory or one of their 2 or three select repair shops also in the same area is in order.
