I’ve had 5 previous RV’s of all types including a Monaco DP. This one is the most quiet RV I’ve ever driven. The original owner had steering dampeners and heavier shocks installed which took all the wind resistance and effort out of driving. More storage space would be nice, but we’re exceedingly happy with this rig.

3rd owner, 59k miles. Carper removed, new Vinyl coated plank nicely installed! Had to replace Center control bearing and rebalance drive line. Vibration wore rear seal in transmission. ($1500) Love Chevy 3500 chassis. Easy breezy to drive for my spouse to drive. V8 6 Liter Vortex has plenty of smooth power to pull hills. I have a thumping noise over passenger seat head liner when hitting bumps in road. I isolated the wiring harness in cowling, still thumps! Wonder about cowling hitting top of cab? Any suggestions appreciated. Walter

I have absolutely loved this RV from the moment I first stepped into it. It has been a very hard decision to sell but I think at this point I will do better with something smaller. I like the bedroom in the back and also the fact that it has an oven which so many do not. I also like the entertainment center over the cab rather than another bed.

We bought this unit, 3rd owner, about eight months ago with 56K miles and appeared to be in excellent condition. I had all four brakes done, pads, calipers, turned rotors and fluid flush. We took it on a 1000 mile trip towing a Saturn VUE. Hard to check mileage because after 3/4 tank or so you have to baby feed the gas. Performed well, but was not stable feeling. On returning home (after replacing driver window regulator) I had air lift suspension added to rear. 100% improvement, now can control with one finger with bags at 70#. Now front section appears to be separating from body and I don’t know a repair at this point. The concept of this unit is ideal for one or two people. It is dry camp capable for many days with large heated tanks.

The RV is fine, although it is falling apart and needs constant repairs. I'm OK with the repairs, however, the real problem is the service stinks. Both from the dealer, Lazy Days in Denver, and the manufacture. I have emailed and called, having to leave messages because no one picks up the phone, and no one ever calls back or returns the email. Just absolutely horrible service. I would never buy anything from either company again. Tom

This has been a very good RV. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars on driving is that it eats a lot of gas. But, they all do. The floor plan is very comfortable. The wife LOVES the kitchen. Is really best for 2 adults and 2 or 3 small kids for sleeping. The quality is as good as you get in this class. We had a few minor things needing fixing in the first year. Warranty covered everything. I would recommend this RV for a retired couple with small grandchildren or a young couple with small children. We tow our 18.5’ fishing boat with this RV without any problems launching or trailering. It is a great size for traveling. Plenty of room but still maneuverable.
