Drv Elite Suites reviews

I am the second owner of my unit. Having owned several RVs am satisfied with the fit and finish of the 2019 DRV product. It is unlikely that I would buy a model newer than mine. A change in ownership has led the DRV corporate mindset away from providing their customers a quality product relative to the premium price they demand. This is based on my conversations with other DRV owners. I have lived by myself full time in mine for nearly three years now. I can honestly say I'm a proud owner. These units require upkeep. I would budget $3,000 to $4,000 a year in routine maintenance. To all potential buyers, you cannot neglect the care of your coach. They need TLC. If you take good care of your DRV it will take care of you. I have had only a few interactions with DRV support. With that said, whenever I am in need of a part or have a question concerning a repair, I have been very pleased at the timeliness and professionalism of their team members. Show less

The overall construction so far is above most RV ‘s that I’ve owned. However this is a 2024 model and they have put a stereo system in it that has no remote so you must get up to change the sound for the tv surround sound in a cabinet that is 6’5” from the floor. Needless to say my wife is barely 5’tall. I’ve spoken with everyone I can at DRV to no avail . The simple fix is $110 from another source to have a tv sound as it should be in the current century.

My wife and I enjoy the Snowbird life with our DRV Elite Suite. We spend summer at our home in New Mexico and 3 to 6 months in Texas during the winter. Our DRV has proven to be a comfortable and efficient home in the winter with temperatures as low as in the 20's at night and during the heavy Texas rain storms. The beautiful hardwood cabinets provide more than ample storage throughout the 5th wheel which is a priority for any experienced RV'er. We love the outside shades on the windows which keep the interior very comfortable without having to lower the solar shades or night shades. The automatic hydraulic leveling system works perfect and simplifies setting up. The reason we are selling our DRV is we have purchased a small home in TX and no longer have need of a 5th wheel.

It was love at first site! We quickly felt the solid security this RV has with the quality of the craftsmanship. My only drawback was the accessibility of the high cabinets because I'm very short. So I simply made sure there was always a small folding step stool inside the RV for me to use. I would highly recommend a 2016 DRV MOBILE SUITES 36rssb3 because of its comfort inside, it's appearance inside and out and last but not least is because towing and setup are made easy. Three things this RV has that we're NOT on my "must have list" are the dishwasher, the washer and dryer and the Sleep number bed. Guess what will always be on my new "must have list"! Show less

We lived in this unit while relocating from the NW to the mid-west for 6-8 months. the unit was previously owned by a widow who used it for 6 months, then upgraded to a motor home. This unit is solid. Well insulated. Extremely user friendly. Comfortable in all weather conditions. it has all the amenities of an apartment on wheels. highly recommend the brand. Show less

We have been FullTiming since 2003 and finally had to go off the road. It’s been a wonderful life and we’ve made a lot of great friends. We started in a Teton then upgraded to a 2010 Mobile Suites and finally this 2017 Mobile Suites. We special ordered it so it has a lot of extras and we were lucky enough to be where we went to the factory every day as it was being built and checked everything out. It is a great unit and we hate selling it but it’s time. Show less

I moved into my unit not anticipating to live in it more than 1 year. Life circumstances happened and I decided to stay living in it. It’s been 8 years of full time RV life and I was very comfortable. This unit is a 4 season rig and a pre Thor build. Outside of normal maintenance, it’s been a great rig. DRV has been good about responding when I needed them. I went back to a sticks and brick home to be closer to my kids; and the unit is currently for sale. It’s in great shape! Show less

I am a travel nurse and have been living full time on the road for 19 years. Most of those years were in a class A but we needed more space and decided we wanted a 5th wheel. We did research on which was the best 5th wheel for quality and livability and found that the DRV was second to New Horizons. We looked at both and quickly came to the conclusion that New Horizons was simply to heavy and we didn't want to have a 4 ton truck to pull it with. We have been very pleased with the DRV and haven't had any issues with it. The overall quality is better than what you will find in less expensive rigs. All RV's have issues from time to time but if your looking for quality materials and comfort then a DRV is a good choice. One tip: Don't buy any RV that doesn't have a fiberglass roof. Show less

To be fair I love the look, the layout and the amount of storage inside and out and these don't come cheap in price so you would expect that everything you can't see would be also. I've had mine 9-months and it's been out only four times and it goes straight back to the rv repair shop where it's been ever since I bought it. Every trip It has a new list of repairs. Simple things like crown molding falling of to the ground on three occasions to black tank pipe strapped up to tight and splitting open flooding the underbelly cover with sewage all the way to the front of the trailer. Refrigerator sent out not working from factory, made 4 attempts to repair it spending more than it was worth so frustrated with taking it in I just paid for a new one myself. Let out a full sink of dish water only to look down as the water ran to all four corners of the floor turns out the pool hose that was used as a drain line was held on to the hard line pvc pipe with dollar store duct tape instead of a hose clamp and it popped off. Thr bedroom pop out seal was ripped on delivery so much so i could see outside no problem. Counter top wood splt on two counters. Paneling popping off walls. Trim falling off. Cabinet bottom fell in. Two rouge screws up through floor. Base boards popping off. Ceiling puck lights wired up wrong so when you turn off the kitchen lights the ceiling lights would go on. Electric toilet flush lasted two and ahalf trips. Gray tank flush valve leaks. Shower doors installed wrong so water would spray through the overlaps on the floor so on our way home the handle/ lock broke off. I'm so tired of trying to get DRV to help i just went and had a custom shower door installed on my dime.This is just the big stuff. DRV has never once said sorry and when the one and only time they just reached out when they saw my bad reviews I was told they would repay for the new shower door for all my grief just send them the receipt the next day I got an email saying they refused my request for reimbursement because I didn't fallow warranty protocol.

After learning a bit with a older class A rv for 3 years I decided a 5th wheel was a better fit for me then also I want space and comfort because we planned to live aboard and travel After two trips across county Georgia to California we took the rv to Alaska this is we’re the rv proved it’s true 4 season capability. We ended up living in Alaska for five years and we’re very comfortable we did not dry camp very often but we could manage 3 days at a time but this was before solar chargers and I never installed a generator but we did have two batteries My only regret was selling it hope this helps Show less
