We have a 2005 DS. It is my favorite Rv so far. I love the way it drives and the large window in the back makes it easier to monitor our toad and backing up. Comfortable ride, has adequate storage but you do need to be selective on what you pack. For my husband however he hates the small shower. Installed extend a shower rod and it did help but the real issue is getting In and out with the step up and placement of the stool. It is a ssafety issue has we get older. At the present time looking around for a different unit. We actually averaged 9.8 mpg on our 3 week trip to the North East.
