We have been searching for a new 5th wheel toy hauler to accommodate or full time RV lifestyle. We compared a number of RV manufacturers and different RVs to fit our full time lifestyle. We have finally made a decision on the best RV for our full time lifestyle.

Love it! Congrats! 🍾🎊🎉
What a great lifestyle you both have. Look forward to your coming videos. Stay safe. 😀
Thanks for your videos. You guys are great!
We are in the beginning process of choosing and narrowing down our decision. So your videos definitely help.
That's really cool Brandon....thanks for coming along! We're so glad we can help. Good luck with your decision and have a great new year!
I was going for a new Luxe or Riverstone. I was in the New Horizons Magestic rear kitchen at the Tampa RV show this year and was impressed! The Owner Cole was on point with all of my questions. Luxe is a great unit, service and no dealer network is a concern. Riverstone would not build what I want. After the New Horizons rear kitchen unit stole the show in 5th wheels, I am very happy to see Riverstone and DRV copied that floor plan and white cabinets. I can not afford a New Horozons and I have always liked DRV. I think I will,order a DRV 44 Houston next year from Rolling Retreats. I am impressed with the lady’s knowledge and expertise. I have looked a DRV by other dealers and she impressed me. I like the floor plan and the new decor. I also like the 15 inch frame and standard Moryde Independent suspension. I can also get an 8k diesel genset in the DRV. Luxe would not do that or the 220V dryer. Riverstone is a great unit for the money. 2 axles on a 42 ft. Unit has me a little concerned, especially with having to get the moryde IS as an option. DRV it is for me. I will be pulling it with my 2018 F-450 pickup.
Great points Big Dave....Alicia is one of the most knowledgeable people regarding DRVs and we don't think you'll be disappointed. Good luck on your new coach. Let us know how things go.
@@SuiteTravels Thank you. I will keep you posted.
I live up by Sandpoint, I will.haveto watch for you guys. My bff lives in Spokane along with my brother in laws
Sandpoint is an awesome place Lori. We'll take some friends up there to visit in the next few weeks. We'll wave as we go through!
We are expecting 110 degrees today
I live in Indian River Michigan I seen you guys when you drove threw Petoskey
That's so cool Rick! Did you wave? We didn't see you.....thanks for coming along. Have a great week!
Suite Travels where in Michigan are you now I would love to come meet you guys if that’s ok
@@rickross8648 We're up north in Christmas near Munising....
Sorry I just found out where in Michigan you are it’s Mannistee not sure of spelling. I have heard of it. Not sure what town it’s close too. Glad you love it there. Hope you enjoy yourselves. Sherri Weber
We're having a blast Sherri....we couldn't spell it either at first! It's on the west coast just southwest of Traverse City. What a charming little town! Have a great weekend.
Welcome to Michigan I have lived here all my life. You can drive 500 to 600 miles and never leave the state. Have fun during your stay.
Bob Godi Reese Ml.
Thanks Bob....we really enjoyed our time in Michigan. The people were so friendly and the sites amazing....we'll be back!
Congratulations. What is going to happen to your rig. Selling or trade. Can't wait to see. Maybe at quartzsite in January. Don
Thanks Don....our coach is for sale, but can't deliver until we get our new rig 😉. We're looking forward to a meet-up in Quartzsite this January - stay tuned! Thanks for coming along and have a great weekend!
Awesome! Congratulations!!! So glad that DRV modified a rig that is going to work for y'all and your lifestyle. Congrats on becoming the very first DRV Ambassadors. Well deserved! Safe travels! 👍😎🚍
Thanks Michael and Tiffany...really appreciate your kind words and your friendship!
What is the coldest you have had your RV in since you have owned it? I am thinking one day to go full time RV and haev been trying to do a lot of research for four season fifth wheels that will stand up the the weather condictions. Best of luck with your new RV when you get it.
Hi Karl. We've been in the 20s...but not by choice! We try and follow 70 degrees as much as we can. I can only count about 4 manufacturers that I would trust in the winter. The key is skirting around the bottom to hold the heat in. Good luck in your search.
Dreaming of living that life. Already have the X3 turbo, and the truck, so does that mean we’re halfway there?
👍👍
Thanks Joe....appreciate it.
Congrats!!! I don't think there was ever a doubt however LOL!!
LOL....actually we weren't sure what we were going to end up with. We gave them all a fair shot, but happy with our decision. Thanks for coming along guys. Have a great weekend.
@@SuiteTravels I enjoyed the ride, thanks.
For a full-timer, what is the advantage of the fifth wheel over a class A? You mentioned that Class A plus trailer want as good of a fit. I'm super curious why 😁
Hi Ryan. Everyone is different, but we feel the 5th wheel is a better fit for us. We like the fact that we can disconnect the coach and take the truck in for service, allowing us to still live in the coach. We also like the floor plan of the 5th wheel more than a Class A - to us it just seems more like a home. We travel in the west quite a bit and the mountains we travel across aren't much of a problem in our truck with 505 HP. If we hauled a stacker trailer behind a Class A we'd have to have at least 500 HP to carry the weight and a new Class A with that much HP is out of our budget... which brings us to the fact that the depreciation on a Class A is much more than a 5th wheel. Everyone has their opinions....and we feel a 5th wheel is a better choice for us.
@@SuiteTravels That makes perfect sense! All good points, I hadn't even considered that servicing a class A while living in it full time would be a huge headache!
Great Videos and Quality. Thank you.
Thank you Sig...appreciate your kind words.
I'd like to know what your travel costs and maintenance is per year.
We've discussed this topic before....but really don't have any hard numbers to share. We may need to come up with something though since there seems to be quite a bit of interest. Thanks for coming along - we'll ponder this one!
Congrats you guys! Fun times ahead.
Thanks Karen and Dave....fun times ahead is right! It was great catching up with you yesterday. Sorry the phone got disconnected. Michigan back roads don't have much cell service 😯. See you soon.
Congratulations on the build of your new home/ coach
Thanks so much Don. We really appreciate you coming along. Have a great weekend!
Michiganders. is correct! There is so much to see in the great lake state here enjoy it!
Thanks Vinnie....we're learning as we go along! The scenery is beautiful and the people are amazing. We really appreciate you coming along. Have a great weekend.
Congratulations guys can’t wait to see the new rig.
Thanks guys....we can't wait to show it! Really appreciate you coming along.
So happy for you guys!
Thanks for the kind words....we really appreciate you coming along. Have a great weekend!
NICE GRATS .. YOU GUYS WILL DO GREAT.. STILL DREAMING OF DVR
Thanks Rulon. Really appreciate the kind words and hope you have a great weekend.
Bring that Side by side to southeastern KY and we will show you some of the best trail riding in the country. Have fun and stay safe.
Thanks for the tip! That's one of the reasons we want to carry it with us all the time...you never know when you'll find great places to ride. We'll let you know when we get out that way.
Congrats Guy’s. I’ll keep and eye out for you as I travel from Va to Maine.
Thanks Joe....VA to Maine is still on our list. We thought about going that way this year, but COVID got in our way. Keep and eye out for us...hopefully we can cross paths.😉
Suite Travels I travel those states for work. I used to stay in hotels about 180 nights a year!! Now I tow my Geo Pro 19 FD .. it looks so small compared to my Brookestone 395 MB in the driveway! Lol. Stay safe. See you on the road.
Wow that’s Awesome,Congratulations,can’t wait to see it !!
Thanks Don....we're pretty excited (if you can't tell!). We really appreciate you coming along. Have a great weekend!
Thanks for the update! So exciting!
We love your community! We were able to meet a family today, and we had a wonderful time. Thank you for all you do ❤
Thanks Roy....that's great! You guys are some of the best people and we're proud to call you friends! Maybe we'll see you as we travel back west. Can't wait to see your new rig. Congratulations!
This really is Stacy, he won't write anything.
@@royabreu7942 Hahaha....that's funny. See you soon.
Wow, congratulations on having a new home and the first one in the world.
Thanks Dennis....we're really excited (can you tell??). Have a great weekend.
Great video folks thank you for the update I'm glad you're happy with your new purchase look forward to your next video God bless safe travels
Thank you Allan. We can always count on your for some inspiration! Be blessed and have a great weekend.
Kyle is great! Very passionate about his product and very knowledgeable. I need to play a tour my self look like so much fun
Kyle is a GREAT tour guide. He's very knowledgeable about his product and we really enjoyed our time with him. Thanks for coming along. Have a great weekend!
Congratulations
Thanks Mike...and thanks for being part of this great community!
Good luck
We had a mobile d build 2 years ago and even watched them at the factory as it was being build.
Let me tell you we had nothing but issues,the quality is not what it used to be and our dealer would not stand behind us period so we wish you all the best, we got rid of it after a year and went back to a Class A .
Happy travels and be safe
Thanks RV Home. We've had a few glitches with our current coach, but nothing that couldn't happen with any RV over time. The dealer we purchased from originally wasn't very responsive either, but we've found Alicia and Slade to be top notch and really try to get things right. That's why we're happy to partner with them and quite honestly we won't let anyone else work on our coach. Safe travels and hope to see you down the road.
Hi David....sorry to hear about your issues. DRV has been very responsive for us, but we have Alicia and Slade on our side as well. We really feel that they support their customers and stand behind them which is why we've decided to partner with them. Hope you're staying safe (and sane). Stay in touch.
@Morse Transport Unfortunately we purchased from the same dealership....and we weren't treated as we thought we should be, so we took a chance on Slade and we haven't looked back! They are rated in the top 2 DRV dealerships in the country and we now know why! We really appreciate you and your comments....and yes - God IS good all of the time! Stay blessed and be safe.
Congratulations!!!!! While in Michigan, get up to Sleeping Bear dunes (west of Traverse City). We found a great rv park called Lake Leelanau RV resort. Enjoy!
Thanks Michael....we don't have the SxS with us this trip, so we passed by the dunes. We've heard that it's an amazing place so we need to come back through when we get our complete rig. Thanks for the tip! Really appreciate you coming along.
Congratulations! Can't wait to see your floorplan ideas.
Thank you so much....we can't wait to show it off! Really appreciate you coming along.
You’d guys have one hell of of a great budget
We've worked hard all our life and tried to be smart with our money. This is our home, so we don't have the "normal" expenses that a sticks-and-bricks has. We've lived on a pretty strict budget most of our married life and now we're able to reap the rewards....we're very blessed.
Man those are some nice looking rigs :) Glad you finally made a decision LOL :) Its been great travelling with you guys, we've had a blast.
We've had so much fun traveling with you guys and are so blessed to be able to call you friends!
Keeping Up with the Jones Lol
@@SlowMomentum They've got to LOL. Still keeping your Bighorn ready for you. :) Safe Travels friends
I was looking earlier on RV TRADER. DIDNT SEE IT
Papa Drew is Next to try and keep up with the Jones. We have 4 acres in NE Louisiana that y’all are welcome to
Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing the new home.
Thanks so much Alex! We're really excited to share with you. Thanks for coming along and enjoy the weekend.
Congratulations!!!
Thanks Leslie....we really appreciate it! Have a great weekend.
Great news!! Can’t wait to hear more!! Enjoy more of Michigan!! Travel safe...
Thanks Robin....we can't wait to show it off! We're having a blast and the people are amazing. Hope you're enjoying your trip. Hope to see you at the Q!
I live in gwinn Michigan
That's so cool Erin. What a beautiful state! We've really enjoyed the scenery and the people we've met in Michigan....especially the UP!
I have a question... being so long even without the double tow, aren't you to long for state and federal parks? I'm sorry but just started looking at my options...ty! 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
It all depends on the park. As an example, we wouldn't fit in Madison campground in Yesllowstone, as it has a maximum size restriction of 30 ft. We would fit in some spaces at Canyon in YNP as there aren't any size restrictions. When we visit YNP we will usually stay outside the park and drive in on a daily basis, which is what we do in a lot of places. We have stayed at a National Forest campground just outside the west gate of YNP as well. We're currently in Michigan and we've driven through a number of Michigan state parks and we would fit just fine in a number of them. When we look for stopping places we will usually read the reviews, look at the google earth view and sometimes call the location to ask questions.
@@SuiteTravels Thank you so much for your information... you guys are definitely helping with our decisions on our future plans! Again thanks for your time! 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Howdy Jim and Kellie,
So happy to hear you folks worked out a deal and will soon be getting the trailer you NEED the way you WANT it. See you in Quartszite if not sooner.
Dave, Donna, Newt and Willy
Thanks Dave (and crew). We can't wait to get it out in the desert and have fun with it. Thanks for all the tips along the way....looking forward to getting together soon.
Congratulations!!! So excited for you two and the new Ambassadorship with the new floor plan and brand - way cool! Can't wait for the reveal. Maybe by the time your new rig is built we will be on the road but I bet you will have your before ....
Can you tell we're VERY excited 😉. As soon as you guys get on the road let us know so we can start to plan a get together. Stay positive and we believe it WILL happen soon. Thanks for being part of this community and hope we can get together soon.
@@SuiteTravels Love your positivity.....Let's hope and that sounds like a great plan! Be safe and have fun on your travels while waiting on the coach!!
Debi
I’m VERY close to being able to join your village. I purchased my HDT last week and I’m so very excited. (I’m the one who was surprised to find out I could buy an HDT for about the same price as a one ton duelly). I’m currently looking at LUXE for my 5th wheel but haven’t written off DRV as they’ll be the next one I call to see what they can offer. I’m going slow to make sure I get as close to what I want as possible. I’ll be part time for the next 2 years and will then retire and go full time. It’s just me, by myself, so your village will be a big help to this single lady. Haha! When you do your first rally I will be there! Thanks for the excellent advise on the HDT. I’m thrilled!!!
That's so cool Lori! We had no idea you had already purchased your HDT - congratulations. It sounds like you've got everything planned out and we're looking forward to hearing more about your adventure. Make sure you call Alicia regarding DRVs and give her a chance to work on the right coach for YOU! We're looking forward to crossing paths on the road soon. Stay in touch and be safe.
Suite Travels Thank you! I’m very excited and will get in touch with Alicia in the next couple of weeks.
I’m excited for you guys. I’m excited to be part of the RUclips family. I’m just excited in general. Come on October!!! I wanna see I wanna see
Hahaha....thanks Joshua. This is such an amazing community and we're so glad you're part of it. Thanks for coming along and have a great weekend!
Come to grand haven Michigan!!
Hi Ethan....we passed through on our way to Manistee. We'll be back - there's just no way we can see it all in one trip! Thanks for coming along and have a great weekend!
We are really happy for both of you!
Thanks Chip....we are so blessed! We really appreciate you hanging out with us.
WooHoo! Sounds AMAZING! :) Can't wait to see the tour!
Thanks Tom and Lori....we can't wait to show it off! Hope to see you at the Q!
Congrats!🙂🙂👍👍
Thanks Maryann. Really appreciate you coming along.
So glad you guys found and are creating what you wanted and needed... I hope when I retire my setup looks like yours... thank you for taking us on this journey and look forward to trips to come ... and as for rolling retreats they are the type of people that not only you want to buy from but want to be friends with
Thanks Eric. Hopefully you'll get what you want - it all starts with an idea! We're very excited to partner with Rolling Retreats. They've treated us very well and we're blessed to be able to work with them. We really appreciate you coming along. Let us know what we can offer to help you plan!
Ambassadors!!!! You guys must be so proud!! I'm so happy for you two!! Congratulations!!
Thanks Sir Timothy....we are very blessed! We really appreciate you coming along. Stay safe and have a great weekend!
Congratulations. Look forward to the tour!
Thanks guys....we can't wait to show it off! Hopefully it will be done prior to the snow 😯. See you soon.
Congratulations on the new coach and becoming ambassadors. You will be great spokespeople. Hope we cross paths someday on the Oregon dunes (2019 X3)
Thanks G.....appreciate it. Would love to get together and do some riding. Have a great week.
I have a 2019 JX450. I look forward to seeing how your MX 450 turns out.
You've got a nice coach M&M. We really love that floor plan, the garage just wasn't big enough for us. Thanks for coming along and have a great weekend.
Congratulations guys! Cant wait to see it
Thanks Lisa. As you can tell....we're pretty excited! Really appreciate you coming along. Have a great weekend!
So happy for you. Can't wait to see it. Sure enjoy your video and travel though you. We been planning AZ. For 4 years now . I got the HDT smart car and the 5th wheel I just don't have the body any more. But some day some way we're getting to quartzite I fine you if you put your new flag out RV hugs Linda
We'll put the flag out for you Linda! Hopefully you can make it this year. Stay blessed and hope to see you soon!
Congratulations Jim and Kelley! I’m really happy for you! Can’t wait to see your new home. Oh glad you are in Michigan. I’m from there but now live in Nv. I loved Michigan but now in the winter. It is beautiful all over there. Let me know where in Michigan. If you can. Sherri Weber
Thanks Sherri. We really appreciate it and thank you so much for coming along. Michigan is beautiful, but can't imagine what it looks like in the winter! There's so much to see we'll have to make another trip!
Hi Jim and Kelley! I wanted to let you know in case you are still in Michigan that our friends dad he left her a bed and breakfast. That’s where it’s at but I know you have place to stay. Also I wanted to have you check out if you want to go there is Mackinaw Island. That is a great place to hop in a boat and visit while you are there. You can see a nice big hotel from the movie Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reese. It’s called the Grande Hotel. They have home made fudge up there and what you call pasties they are like a pie but with meat and all kinds of stuff. They are good. Have fun and a great time there and great weekend. Sherri Weber
Hi Jim and Kellie! Such great news! Im so happy for y’all! Can’t wait to see the new home! Stay safe and I’ll see y’all in the next video!
Thanks Jim. If you get any more rain you're going to need an arc 😂. Hope all is well with you and can't wait to cross paths on the road.
May I ask why you opted out of the washer and dryer? Have you had issues with having one in the past?
We opted out of the w/d for a couple of reasons. To begin with, we didn't want the added weight that the w/d would have come with. We also like to boondock quite a bit, and water is a commodity while boondocking, so we didn't see us using it much. We use the area where the w/d would go as storage. We take care of laundry about every three weeks and we like to be able to use 3 or 4 machines at once and be in and out in under 2 hours.
Love watching you guys, the relationship between you and your wife is amazing. Happy to hear you found your RV!
Thanks Allen....we sort of like each other - and we're blessed to be traveling with each other's best friend! Thanks for coming along.
Congrats on all the good news, can't wait to see the new DRV,I think I joined your Rvillage group to,enjoy the channel
Thanks Matt. Really appreciate you coming along.
Congratulations this looks to be a great rig for your lifestyles and ours as well.
Dennis and Sheri
Thanks Sheri. We're pretty excited...but now we wait! Did you sell your truck? Hope to see you soon!
Congratulations you two!!! We're really excited to see the big reveal of your new home. You just reminded us, too, that we need to get our butts onto RVillage and join your community. Enjoy your time in Michigan - it truly is beautiful there, and safe travels. See you soon!
Thanks Bubba and Kat....looking forward to seeing the mods on Grace. Hope all is well and can't wait to get together again.
Awesome news!! ❤️❤️
Yes it is my friend! Hope you are enjoying your time on the other side of the state. Not sure exactly when we'll be back, but hope to get together before you leave.
Suite Travels as long as your back before the 20th this month, we’re here in Little Diamond Lk, we can see you. 😎
@@TomDealy1 Ewwww....that is gonna be close. Let us know what your plans are after that.
Suite Travels were headed from here to North American RV Park & Yurt Village for a couple of weeks. We will arrive here on the 23rd and stay for about two weeks.
@@TomDealy1 bummer....we may pass each other on the road....
Congratulations! Now the anxiety of waiting for the new coach will be killing you. :-)
LOL....thanks Bruce. We've waited this long, so a few more months won't kill us 😂. We are anxious to show off the new interior though...stay tuned!
First Ever! Congrats to you guys!
Thank you so much Glenn. We really appreciate you coming along!
Jim and Kelly, I am so happy for you folks! After talking about it at the WCHDT rally and now it's working out. I'm real excited that Thor is behind all this. Hope to catch up with you guys again.
Thank you Dave. We're very blessed and really excited to be part of the DRV family. Hope all is well with you and let us know how things are going with you guys.
Very cool. Congratz on all of it! I just hope DRV sends you to a RV show here in Cali :-).
Thanks Drew. It would be a lot of fun. Looking forward to our next visit!
Kaye and I just finished watching your video. First, congratulations! Now you get to be famous. We will have to get your autographs. Lol.
We just got our 2019. But now are looking forward to seeing the 2021 upgrades. You two take care.
Thanks guys....we really appreciate it. We'll have to get together and have a cup of coffee. Can't wait to show the new upgrades - we think they're pretty cool. Have a great week.
Jim & Kelley I luv your videos ,& travels but on this one i gave you a thumbs down. Sorry but I think your dialog could have been shorten by 8 minutes maybe 10. Sorry but i will continue to follow cause i do like your travels. We are slso getting a toy hauler cause we have a Polaris RZR we luv & want it to be part of our travels & adventurers.
Thanks Oscar. We really appreciate the feedback. We try and get better every week. Good luck in your search and appreciate you coming along. Stay safe!
Congratulations you guys. We are very happy for you and jealous at the same time. ( just kidding ) During this time of shopping different Manufactures I was curious what you thought about Space Kraft ? I was thinking that would be a good fit for your tractor?
Thanks Bob. We're really excited! Spacecraft would be a great fit for our tractor, but it was one of those that was outside of our budget. They build a beautiful coach and we've been invited to visit their facility and video their production, so we'll probably visit them in the future. Thanks for coming along and have a great weekend!
Glade you picked DRV...We tried your dealership..😒 didn't get treated like you did...but thats ok...we had our customized at a different one...looking forward to meeting you on the road next year...take care...be safe..J&A
Thanks J&A. Glad you got what you were looking for. A dealer that you can depend on and that you're happy with is VERY important. Looking forward to crossing paths soon. Stay safe.
That's great. Hope you have it match big red with red on it 😁
Hmmmm....stay tuned! Thanks Chuck we really appreciate you coming along! Have a great weekend.
Haha - Michiganders 😁
We're learning Hank 😉. What a beautiful state! Thanks for coming along.
Suiiiiiiiite!!! So my question is.... what’s happening with your current rig? Is it for sale! It’s a beauty-I’ve enjoyed visiting with you guys several times in it. 🥰 And, are you still headed our way? REALLY hoping to hang out before we leave here. Love you guys! ❤️
Oh my gosh Jeannine....we are so excited! Stay in touch....we weren't sure what to expect from the UP, but are getting closer to having an ETA soon. The grand baby's are calling! Our current coach is for sale 😉 but we obviously can't deliver until our new coach arrives. Hope to see you guys soon. Let us know where you're heading from there.
Can I ask why u chose drv over luxe? I looked at both and found the luxe appeared to be better constructed?
Hi Rael....in our opinion, we liked the hung wall construction in the DRV better than the wall construction in the Luxe. Interior comfort was another factor in our choice - the Luxe seemed cramped to us both in the bedroom as well as the living area. We also had issues with Luxe responding back to us with questions we had. We felt if they weren't responsive now, what would happen if we had an issue after the sale.
@@SuiteTravels yes I hear ya. I heard God and bad about both. Good luck with your unit!
mr. and mrs. ambassador this is the jester just kidding that's cool fyi i will be in Algonac State Park as the Campground host 0n 13 of this month for weeks fyi thank's that cool be safe have fun
Thanks Vincent....we are so blessed! We thought about going up the east side of MI, but opted for the west side this trip. What an amazing state. Enjoy your time and stay safe.
Lol you'll be broke quick with a rig like that. Every thing on a semi is expensive, your at 10 tires just for the semi. I would buy a bus and tow the car.
Well Fred....everyone has an opinion! I will tell you that in over 4 years of RVing with our HDT we have spend much less for maintenance than we did with our previous 1-ton duallys. We considered a Class A, but the 5th wheel suits our needs so much better. Have a great week.
I'm new to all this and was watching your channel as well as the Jones. I watched why they chose a Volvo. I am curious why you chose a Western Star?
Our choice on the Western Star was pretty easy...it was for sale and set up exactly the way we wanted to tow! We love our WS and are very happy with the purchase. Thanks for coming along Joe....really appreciate it!
Do you need doubles endorsement no your license for Oregon & Washington?
No Lance. Neither state will allow private double towing at all. It's a little frustrating, but the law-is-the-law. Have a great weekend.
Can you explain why you didn’t go with the luxe 48fb or the 44fb? I’m also in the mix of choosing a toy hauler and am stuck between drv lx455 and the luxe 48fb. Would love to hear your opinion.
Hi Hunter. They're both nice coaches, but we felt a little cramped in the Luxe. The bedroom seemed small in the Luxe and we're not big fans of the L-couch. We like the "hung wall" construction in the DRV vs the laminated wall. Those are our choices....and everyone is different. We also have had great success with Alicia and Slade at Rolling Retreats. They really try and make sure their customers are satisfied and are a great resource if something goes wrong. Slade has a PDI list that he goes through before the customer is even notified that their coach is ready. DRV is all they sell, so they've seen it all. Hope that helps and you find what you're looking for.
So what’s the appropriate delivery date, never mind you just answered it
LOL....thanks for coming along!
So glad you’re checking out my home state! Great dunes, lakeshores and beautiful roads. I’m from Grand Rapids area and spent a few years riding motorcycles on the west side 🥰
And we like to call ourselves Michiganders 😎
LOL....thanks Terry Jo! What a beautiful state and the people are amazing! There is no-way we can see it in one trip.....we'll be back! Thanks for coming along and have a great weekend!
I live in white lake Michigan
Hi JD...you have a beautiful state! We stayed a couple of nights south of Lansing and it gets prettier the further north we go! Thanks for coming along and have a great weekend!
