Date Range: May 26 – 28, 2016
Summary: Our house is a DRV Mobile Suites fifthwheel. Since we were passing by Indiana on our way up to Michigan, we thought we’d drop into their headquarters in Howe, IN for a factory tour.

Things We Like About Our Mobile Suites
- Thicker insulation in the walls and floor than most RVs - R11 in walls, R19 in roof and floor.
- Real hung wood walls and cabinets
- Dual pane windows – this makes the RV much more insulated and quiet. When we are in our RV with the windows all closed, we hardly hear the outside campground at all.
- HUGE water tanks - we have 100 gallon tank for freshwater, 75 gallons capacity for grey water and 50 gallons black water. This makes it very easy to boondock for a long time.
- Carrying capacity – our rig is 12977lbs dry and has a 16500 Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), meaning we had room for 2634lbs of storage after subtracting for 100 gallons of water and 60 pounds of propane, which is on the larger end of carrying capacities.
