DRV vs Excel
Between these two, which would you choose, assuming there's no preference in their floorplans? I realize you can't go wrong with either choice but I'd like to look further into little details... ...

And as a separate question to everyone - is it feasible for a buyer to directly order from the factory without going through a dealer? Factories aren't that far away from my location, so this is feasible. I've always wondered how you can specify some of the customizations you want through a dealer... As an example, I'd like to install 4 x 6V batteries along with the matching set of solar panels, which I don't think is a standard setup for any trailers.
Also, would any of these manufacturer accommodate requests like replacing their typical 40-ish inch TV with a 55+ inch TV on the rear entertainment floorplans? This could potentially mean no windows on the rear panels which would normally be present.
Some custom mfg. don't use dealers. New Horizons is one and there are a couple others. DRV requires a dealer but you can work the factory to make changes. Batteries are an easy add on for them and if they don't offer an option like the installed solar panels they will let you buy them and have them delivered to the factory where they will install them during manufacturing the camper. I had Sea Level gauges installed that way. The large TV is no problem either and they will delete windows if you desire. A dealer that posts on the Suites forum, Alicia from Rolling Retreats in OK, had a 60 inch, IIRC, installed on the back wall of her camper.
