Hi, Susan and Chris here again-- continuing our quest for the right rv. Toured the DRV factory and, are you guys right! We were amazed at the quality of material and workmanship.
Reality tells us, however, that we can probably afford a unit about 50% of the price of a Mobile Suites.
Any of you out there have experience with the Sanibel? We know not to expect the quality of DRV, but the 3500 appears to be a good unit. We have learned from you out there not to necessarily trust factory brochures or sales people, so your opinions would be welcome...
We toured the DRV factory on a Tuesday in early July of 2008 after touring the Carriage factory the day before. We promptly went to our next location and within 2 mos had custom ordered our 2nd Suite with all the features our 2006 36TK3 Elite Suite didn't have. They had upgraded some of the features in 2009, more in 2010, additional ones in 2011. But in 2009 models, they didn't have the exact floor plan we wanted. So we asked if they could change the peninsula kitchen into an extended Island. They could do it at very little cost and it made us very happy.
Since then, we've added even more features that make it even more comfortable. We've wintered in the north and spent summers in the south. So we know that Suites are livable all 4-seasons.
