National RV Dolphin LX RVs Reviews (14)
Avg. Rating

This is a roomy, easy to drive, comfortable coach with tons of storage. Not your average tin box! The quality components that are in this "home" greatly surpass other/newer RV's I've been in. You can see and feel the difference.

I loved the space it has and the shower with alot of room.Also the grey,black tanks have alot of volume room.The gas tank is huge too.Bed slides out in the bedroom making alot more room.The closet has alot of hanging space too.Tons of storage inside and out.The micro convection oven is great!The side by side frig freezer has alot of room and the icemaker is nice.I like the counter space with double sink.and the gas stove.The couch makes out to a queen bed and the bedroom bed is also queen.The table makes out to a bed.

The 2003 National Dolphin is the 5th Class A that I have owned. It is also the most livable and reliable one I have owned. The only reason I am selling is because I have purchased the next step on my path which is a unit in a 55+ place in the south. So now it's time to let go so somebody else can enjoy what I have for the past 4 years. I travel alone and have logged 20k miles. Never have I felt the need to worry about my ride.

This rv is big enough to live in.The couch folds down for a bed,and so does the table.The bedroom bed is a queen.Plenty of above head room throughout.Carpet in frontromm and cockpit and bedroom.Ceramic tile in kitchen and bath area.Pleanty of storage in each room.Many upgrades to the whole coach.Big storage for water and holding tanks for going off the grid for days.added sumo springs for better ride.Also sway bars for better control.Micro convection oven for bake or microwave.New breaks and rear tires,new batteries,newer slide toppers,new starter,custom curtains in front.Never smoked in.The new steps that come out for you when door is opened.clean.

The motorhome was easy to drive.The steering is easy.It has alot of storage inside and out.The two roof airs are nice too.The heater works great too and the refrigerator freezer has alot of space.The split bathroom is nice.A sliding door separating you from the main rv for privacy while in the Shower and also a sliding door into the bedroom.

We have lived in the RV full time for the last two and a half years and it is very comfortable. There is so much storage throughout that u did not lack room for anything. The ride is very smooth. The layout is functional and makes everything accessible.

Owned our 2003 Dolphin LX since new. Has about 93000 miles and no major problems. Routine maintenance (oil changes,tires,etc.) Still has original spark plugs and runs great. Replaced tv's with flat screens. Toilet area is tight for tall person, but nice that it is separate. Window seal gaskets are"creeping" on drivers side on 3 windows, but no fogging yet. Factory Monroe shocks worthless and should be replaced. Great full-time floor plan.

We have traveled all over the US several times in this motorhome. It has excellent inside and outside storage for all we needed to carry with us. Only breakdown ever was for a broken belt. We have been able to see sights that we likely would not have done with out such a comfortable home.

Our 2005 DOLPHIN LX is a good little unit, when we bought in 2015 we where a little apprehensive as the manufacturer was not in business anymore but we liked the look of it so much we made the deal. The fit and finish of this unit is superior to most new units of today and the options far exceed those available on new units. When we shopped we saw many new units and to get all the extras that come standard on the National was ridiculously expensive and the interior finish on the Dolphin could not be matched by the lightweight plastic and paneling use today. Being new to driving an A Class it took me about two short trips to become comfortable with the width and length of it but now it feels like my car. The suspension is close to perfect the only thing I had to get used to was it has a bit of oversteer but tracks very well on the highway and around town. I have had zero issues with this unit save regular maintenance, things like replacement parts where a little tricky but a visit to an RV Forum and problem solved, and most automotive shops and parts stores have the parts in stock. Motor Home owners don’t worry about gas mileage much but for me I like to tour so I checked it often, the built-in trip computer is not to accurate so I did my own calculations and was surprised at how economical she really is, with results in the 8 to 12 mpg range and that’s towing a 4 wheel drive Kia Shortage. You can feel the power loss when towing but I never was forced to pull over on steep hills just had to take it a little slower. The backup camera was always on so I could see the toed as I could not feel it. If you are looking for a 34-foot class A I would highly recommend the Dolphin LX and would not worry about National not being there the chassis is a Chevy workhorse and is supported north America wide, and all the Motor Home parts are readily available through RV Suppliers.

Our motor home layout is the best on the market Everything is planned well for convenience and storage as well as making a really comfortable environment to stay on for a few days or longer term I think anyone who has had a Nstional product would agree

Very good quality coach new batteries new tires and all very well kept.

I find the quality very good Workhorse engine and 5 speed Allison trans. are a great compo. Also love the way it tows our chev HHR.

VERY STABLE TO DRIVE THANKS TO THE WORKHORSE CHASSIS AND ALLISON TRANSMISSION. BASEMENT AIR/HEAT UNIT SUPER POWERFUL. BETTER GAS MILEAGE THAN THE FORD V-10. 4 DOOR REFRIG AND MICRO/CONVEC OVEN MAKES WIFE VERY HAPPY. DOUBLE PANE WINDOWS MAKE IT EASY TO HEAT AND COOL. FIBERGLASS ROOF FAR SUPERIOR TO THE RUBBER. ONLY COMPLAINT IS STEPS INTO COACH A LITTLE STEEP AND TOILET ROOM IS TOO SMALL. KNOWN FOR BEING A WELL ENGINEERED AND PROBABLY THE BEST QUALITY GAS COACH ON THE MARKET IN 2004. . .WILL BUY A 2007 OR 2008 DOLPHIN NEXT JUST TO GET THE NEXT GENERATION ALLISON..
