We’re considering buying a new 5W and considering a DRV Mobile Suite. I’m soliciting opinions of the Mobile and Elite Suites based on experience.

Purchased a new 2018 MS 04/18. Nice pretty unit. Our is a 39DBRS3. Before you buy look closely at the build quality. On the initial shakedown overnight we had poor heat in the upper bath area. Also, the shower wasn't properly caulked and leaked during use. On the way home the TV fell off its mounting as well as the fireplace from the drawer it was mounted to. That same drawer needed repair and the glide hardware has broken and will need to be replaced in the future. One issue you won't be able to see but will need to investigate is the ceiling fan. Ours was attached to the ceiling with 6 staples rather than screws and glue. The Kantleak water manifold in our unit is leaking badly and I'm in the process of trying to obtain replacement parts. Under sink plumbing in the kitchen island came undone causing a messy leak. Visit thorforums.com as well as suitesowners.com for additional information. Look beyond the pretty and at how it is built. I believe build quality may have suffered since Thor purchased DRV.

Every Suites I've seen is top of the line. Not many can compare with their 3 1/2" sidewalls and heavy construction.

No direct experience of DRV, but have you considered a VanLeigh 5er? Either Vilano or Beacon.
