Has anyone on this forum looked at or bought this model DRV? It is the rear kitchen

We walked through one and took some video of it at Rolling Retreats a few weeks ago.

DRV had one to walk through at their plant (or at the rally?), my wife LOVED it! I wasn’t as excited about it. Not sure how stuff would ride going down the road.

NOT a fan of the RK, had ONE.

I would not like being without the BIG window in the back.

If you like the layout and think it is the best one for you, pull the trigger. DRV makes many different layouts so they will appeal to a wide verity of customers. I personally do not like some of there lay outs, but others do. Best of luck.

Nice to have options.

I'm with Cummins, I LOVE having that nice big window at the back to look through!

My wife wants to look because of the kitchen. Looking down the road to purchase. It does have a rear window. From the photos it has a rear window that appears similar in size to the others. Photo on DRV web page. Let you know next week as we are going to look at one.

Here is the video we made on that coach: https://youtu.be/IZIg2RrYBRY

I know the "popular" thing is to have the DARK wood these days. To us it gives a dungeon feeling. We have the more natural Cherry finish.

I have to say I like the rear kitchen layout and this newer lighter color combo MUCH better than the popular DARK.

Would I buy that combo? Don't think so but like I say it's nice to have options.

FYI I am going to email Alicia and tell her how happy we are with the Bosch 500 series 220V washer that would plug into the BOSCH 500 series dryer. They both will run off the existing 220V outlet. No need to swap sides either.

We like the lighter colored wood also that is what we have in our suites now.

I looked at one. Personally I do not like the rear kitchen. And there are some features of it that I would not want.

You get an extra gray tank, but it is not plumbed to the main manifold.
So you get a second sewer dump at the rear cap. Although it looks like an enterprising owner could tie it into the main dump

The spare tire is mounted on a BAL spare tire carrier (mounts top the frame)
There are some deep cabinets where items will go never to be seen again.

I would be concerned with the rear bounce and items in the cabinets.

Newer DRV's are using a 2" square tube for the trailer hitch now. No more 3"
