As far as I know, the Select Suites had the same wall thickness and insulation that the Mobile and Elite Suites models. I'm not sure that it has a "double" I-beam as I've never actually looked at the Select Suites frame, so I can't say too much on that. We started researching in 2008 and bought in 2010.

You might also consider registering over on the SOITC (Suites Owners International Travel Club) forum. I know that there are at least a couple of Select Suites owners there. I've seen their rigs at a rally or two. I just don't remember their names right now.

Personally, I'd never slam the Select Suites. I think the quality of build is still there, but just without the more luxurious appointments inside. As for looking, also check out Rolling Retreats in Elk City, OK. Alicia and Slade were buying Suites at auction and fixing them up before becoming full DRV dealers. They also have some used models, although they are likely to be Mobile or Elite Suites in the DRV line.
