Just looking for honest info
Comparing DRV Fullhouse, Vanleigh Ambition and Luxe. Noticed that the Luxe price point is substantially higher than the other two. In fact, approaching the cost of a custom New Horizon or Spacecraft...

I rarely chime in here anymore but this thread made me log in. Here's my .02 although I have no ownership experience. But we're in the long term market for our next toy hauler and plan to go high-end.
1. Maybe a year ago or so, Luxe pricing went crazy. Their toy hauler pricing had long hovered around the $175,000 mark, give or take. But I guess Covid plus "supply and demand" allowed them to add around 30-50%. For us, they've just about priced themselves out of our market. My wife and I had an appointment to meet with them at the Tampa Show last January but a rare NC snowstorm made me cancel due to work commitments. But when I spoke with them before the trip, they said they were so backed up with orders, they were at least 8 months out on new orders. Again, supply and demand can dictate a lot in pricing.
2. I like the build quality of the Riverstones but that one bike toy hauler is not what I want. If they could make a traditional toy hauler like dblr said, I'd strongly consider going that way. If they could make a side patio toy hauler, I'd probably be first in line! But Riverstone is going too price-strong right now as well. A dealer we visited in Myrtle Beach has a new 42FSKG "on sale" for $188,450. Not much of a sale price but the MSRP is supposedly $201,913. At least with Luxe, you have a much broader range of options, including changing up the floor plan a little if you want to. Luxe seems to be far more of a custom order brand than most others. I remember when Riverstone toy haulers were just a little over $100,000 2-3 years ago!
Luxe sent me an email wanting us to come see them at Hershey next month. We're on the fence for that trip. But as I eluded to earlier, I can't justify paying $250,000 for a toy hauler. Why buy such quality but have no money for any trips!
