The 19 lxe has a bunch of additional standards for this year. vs prior years ,and the std discovery. I looked at several at the Tampa show. I believe they upgraded to Villa seats and couches among other items like aqua hot with heated floors . Full tile showers etc. I pulled drawers etc and the display coaches all appeared to be well built but it was first day and the mob hadn't pulled things apart yet. I also didnt get down and look behind cabinets like i would have if i was a serious buyer. Storage was large with the high frame rails.
We liked the fact REV has a NW service center.since we spend a lot of time in Oregon .. not the MidWest. I'll be interested in how actual owners feel. They were starting at "about" 40% off as a "intro" ;) to the new model. $235 range for the $ 375 factory sticker models... A bit More $ for the +40 tag models your looking at
The Ventana's were much higher at least in the 40 up models. Good luck in your research

Looking in the back of a Discovery, you'll see the engine view blocked with a rear radiator, which says to me....don't even bother going inside.
The reasoning behind this, is for another story and there are many such threads covering the subject. But again, it's not just about how the radiator is mounted for convenience, either, but does save having to check out all those other things for quality in workmanship.
