Because those are the alternatives I see to a DRV. Why on a DRV forum? Because DRV is the BEST of the consumer RVs that I have found, unless you go to truly ridiculously expensive choices like high end customs.

But a DRV still has rubber over plywood roof, and plywood floors, and houses that need to do 60 mph in rain just don't seal that well unless their roofs and walls are as close to one-piece as possible. And, DRVs are very heavy.

Sigh . . .

Hard to see a great solution.

Why on a DRV forum would we want to discuss alternatives to DRV's? I don't think you "get" it.

Your last post states that DRV is the BEST you have found, but then you go on to denigrate their construction.

I feel that you will still be around several months or years after today, still trying to find that "holy grail" RV that meets your expectations, both in build quality and cost.

The solution is to purchase a DRV, but you don't want to spend the money obviously.

Sigh.

If those are the alternatives that YOU see to a DRV, then go buy a horse trailer. We own DRV's for a reason... When you figure that out, you might own one also! By the way how are you going to tow your RV?
