Custom makers - reviews?

[ependydad]

Being that I'm my own special idiot, I have a list of wants that are likely not realistic but I'd still like to see someone try. If we go fulltime for good (we've been on the road for 3 months into a 14-month trip), I have been kicking around the idea of having someone custom design/build a fifth wheel for my family.

A few of the makers that I'm familiar with are:
http://www.recreationbydesign.us/
http://www.spacecraftmfg.com/
http://www.horizonsrv.com/

First, are there others? Does DRV do custom work? or do they just tweak designs?

Second, does anyone have reviews/remarks on the quality of these rigs?

Thanks everyone! It would be fun to meet up some day!

We thought we were going to get a 15 but later in the build process we were told it was going to be a 16. Only reason that matters is for resale, it would have a year newer value. No plans to sell!

Beautiful MS - hope y'all get MANY good years of enjoyment with it and hope our paths cross when we get out after I retire at the end of this year.

We had our last MS (a 2004 MS 36RE3, #1291) for 10 years and loved it. The only reason we traded for this one is that we wanted to treat ourselves to a new MS for travel after I retired. The new technologies and features they've come up with in the last 10 years make it even more enjoyable.

Hey Cummins, is DRV compensating you for the "pitch"? LOL I'm kidding.... :B

NICE trailer, sounds wonderful. I can just imagine what the inside looks like.

Obviously you knew (almost) what you wanted and they delivered! 2" risers would've been a nice "special" huh? :S

You definitely have a luxury Suite. Enjoy

Dan

Thanks!

Yes I should have had the risers! GRRRRR

Yes we are very happy with it, nothing is perfect.
