We had no major problems on our Custom order back in 2008, except the shower leaked and there were potential leaks which we found under the kitchen sink and tightened easily. It was delayed a week because of the couch, but we took delivery in about 10wks.

We picked our new Mobile Suite Estates up last week, after over 14 wks. So far, the only major problem we had was the DirecTV roof dish couldn't get a signal. But thanks to Slade and some unexpected bad weather including 4-5" of snow, we were able to stay in OK next to their shop until he discovered the problem. Once a short piece of cable was replaced under the roof plate, we had satellite, not just OKC locals from roof antenna.

The only other minor issues, small section of Elite backsplash on one side is loose, poor caulking in shower track (which David fixed this weekend after letting it dry out) and the panel around the bathroom wall behind the bedroom slide-out was never stapled on the upper section. Will get that fixed soon, too.

Other than that, we haven't figured out how to get the outside TV a satellite picture. We had the Genie receiver installed and were going to add a Client to it, but the Tech wasn't sure if it would work. At least we now have Whole-Home TV connection to one of our old HD DVR's in the bedroom.

Haven't found any leaks or flaws and it was basically built exactly to our specs. We had numerous adds and deletes and are thrilled with it. There are a couple of things I don't like. But we have some ideas in the works.

We added a few shelves this weekend and hope to get a closet unit built, too. Was surprised to only see a bar on right side, no shelves like most of the other Estates. But David is handy and we'll design something to work better than what the factory "would" have installed.

Good Luck with your new Elite.
