DRV Tradition RVs Reviews on RV Insider (6)
Avg. Rating

Bought 2014 Tradition DRV and paid a premium for what we thought was THE best 5th wheel in the business. Have had it in for repair almost every time we took it out. To date 23 items had to be fixed. Both air units replaced, slides leaked, trim strips falling off (4) of them, bulbs burning out all the time, I think last count (11). Now it is out of warranty.

**CAUTION** DO NOT Purchase one of their units. They do not stand by their product (that is a huge investment for people.) **NOTE - Their customer testimonials are all before they were bought out..** They have a KNOWN issues and don 't tell their customers. Within the first year, our front cap started to badly fade (brown paint color). I contacted DRV multiple times about this issue during that first year. They kept telling me it probably needs a good wash and wax. We spent more than $2,000 over a two year period trying to get the front cap to shine again. NOW we find out this was a KNOWN 2014 paint issue from the manufacturer. I contacted them again and confirmed they were aware of this issue. They stated its not a safety issue and has been too long. "Maybe if it was within the first year or two we could have done something." They really don't care at all that this was a KNOW issue. Seemed bothered that I would be contacting them about this issue after owning my unit for 4 years. Hell I just wanted to know how to fix it. Terrible customer service. - Good luck to you if you actually buy one.

We have had a lot of issues with slides. Fantastic fan knocking. Seals around slides are having to be replaced again. Furniture was too big and hit slide. Bulbs burning out all the time. Theater seating hit island and made a hole in wall. Kitchen slide hitting pantry door and tearing trim off. Now bottom of slides rotting out. Contacted DRV before and after warranty. With no resolve. Paid a big price thought we were getting an above average product. The old saying “you get what you pay for “ is not the case here.

I think this for the price is the cheapest built RV on the market today from the paint electric whirring the flooring the the bed frame the inter constitution for what we paid I think the omish or who ever built this spent to much time on the farm. I have lawyer.

We traded into a new DRV fifth wheel, a high-quality, 4 season, full timing unit! It towed nicely behind our GMC Duramax 2500. We were at the towing limits but it did well. We had to replace RV tires (E) and brakes way too early (less than 5000mi) and suspect that was due to the weight of the unit. We wintered in the Chesapeake area two seasons and were delighted with the efficiency of our "house". DRV service department have treated us well, correcting any of the original manufacture issues.

Not happy with warranty dept. With the lack of response and number of calls to get any problems resolved.
