DRV is mostly custom, they offer a dining option, but it's also a toy hauler and has the dining table in the very back just for anyone that might be unaware.
I noticed that the island is kind of close to the stove. Opening the oven door I don't think you could stand in front of it to get food in or out. I kind of missed it not having a dining table. It is a very nice RV though.
Love how open this toy hauler feels, I would have (little) passed the 1/2 bath since it's for guest and kids. Love the layout the living room area with electric fireplace. I love the 5th wheel units that split the front storage into separate compartments instead of 1 huge one. The rest of the outside storage is set-up well too.
The entertainment and 'fireplace' build out is exceptional... Speaks volumes. Did you meet Buck?! MHS is awesome to work with; we take delivery of our new motorhome in January/ February!
Matt you are 100% right on needing something larger than a one ton. It’s not tow that will get you, it’s stopping. These rigs are just a dream rig but man they are heavy heavy heavy.
If I had that, I would definitely put one of those hook-type locks on the pocket door that's between the main bathroom and the living room. I agree though that I'd much rather the bathroom be in the back since it has the half bathroom in the garage. And I would prefer a lighter color wood and the backsplash behind the stove? Great design but I'd prefer the sky to be blue. Still a beautiful machine!
Great review! I was starting to warm up to towables, but I'm very disappointed in the LX455 and am starting to slide back to the Class A. Three things I don't like: 1. All that space and nowhere to enjoy a meal. 2. Bathroom and toilet layout in the MB area needs lots of improvement. 3. Lack of basement storage and height of interior storage.
Like the videos and watch almost every day. You asked what we thought of the video quality a day or so, so I thought I’d chime in and say it wasn’t as good as normal today. Thanks. Oh yeah, Josh. Josh climbs on the roof. :-)
Forget Toy Hauling, use this for Tail Gating especially with that TV. Yes, the elongated potty is perfect. Remember, everything is bigger in Texas. Andrea, you look stunning in this video.
That MSRP is insane. I agree that it needs some kind of table or tables across from the tv. I need a place to put a plate and beer during my college football games that is close ot the kitchen.
I love Will, but Andrea looks a whole lot better! This is fabulous, but I have to agree that I'd rather have a dinette in the living area and the cabinets are so high I'd have to take you up on that step stool! LOL!! That being said, I love everything else about this Toy Hauler! Great video as always!
I have a Riverstone Legacy 42 FSKG , , I love the DRV, BUT, riverstone has Features that's ahead, Just saying, first time on your channel, enjoyed, Heard you mentioned from Chad & Tara..
very cool, agree with andrea on dislikes of shower location, and no tables for couch, but can always buy a couple fold up tables for that, will want them for outside or in garage anyway, 2 or 3 of those would cover all table needs everywhere, and stow away rather small (i have 2 that legs fold, then table folds in half itself, comes out to be the size of basically a larger painting, easy to carry, easy to store.... almost fit in that outside storage, real close, or just toss them up in that drop down bed and send it back up if dont need them. . cargo capacity, you could almost put a jeep wrangler in the back, would be close there too. that would be awsome if would fit lol. looks like 2 razers or up to 4 4 wheelers fit in there depending on their sizes, razers may have to be only 2 seaters not 4. msrp without discounts as it sits 249, seems to be a decent price for all you are getting here, this is a beast, and very well built beast. me personally shower location not bother me at all, rather it be different, but not a deal breaker by any means since i am single and at most would have a buddy or two sleeping at the other end in the garage, all the guests can just use that bathroom, washer dryer excellent, in something this size, it would be kinda nice to see a small shower in that 2nd bathroom, nothing big, not will tested and approved, just something the guests or atv riders can shower in real quick when done... not likely anyone will be trying to shave legs in there. again not a deal breaker, but you may end up with a line of people at main shower blocking your bedroom access (and possibly going in there snooping) when done riding for the day, especially if going to go out somewhere that evening. and if all family or close trusted friends, now you have 2 showers, everyone get done twice as fast, 2 at a time instead of just one after the other for the next hour. this is the kind of thing i would totally just move into and live in.... get 450 or 550 to haul it around, put a jeep wrangler or even just 2 door version in back for getting around the areas you park in, 4x4, go to town for supplies... go to work if need be, etc. with 2 door jeep probably still have room for one other smaller toy, 4 wheeler, motorcycle, jet ski or something. save you the trouble of having to hook up and unhook truck every time you wanted to go to town or move the trailer, just leave everything hooked up, pop out the jeep and go. between trailer truck and jeep probably 450k setup.... but awsome if you got the money for it.
Hey Matt and Andrea - My husband and I have been looking at tow haulers both fifth wheel and motorhomes - the issue we are having is the max cargo weight that the garage can hold. Most of the ones we look at max out at 1,500 pounds, we have been trying to find one that can hold 2,000 pounds - It would be nice if in your videos when you have a tow hauler if you would mention the max cargo for the garage area. Thanks.
Just so you know Matt, I have a 2018 Ram 3500 dually specked capable of pulling 30,000 lbs. I passed semi’s climbing the mountains pulling my 42 ft 5th wheel no problem. My truck could haul this RV with no issue, don’t need f450. 🍻
First thing, welcome to Texas y’all. You’re talking about the shower, our guest would have to get their shower first, then that part of the fifth wheel would be off limits, but for that price storage could be more, also the main bathroom could be laid out better. As far as the tow vehicle, a F450 or bigger would be necessary to tow it. 👍👍the video
Hi Matt abs Andrea! My dislikes are the same as yours. My likes are the bedroom and bedroom closet and the kitchen. Thank you Matt abs Andrea for showing this Full House DRV.
Firs - Matt, Matt, Matt!!! What are the ramp / patio weight limitations? Fill in these blanks on these please!!! Second - I'm afraid I can't see MSRP in this one. Not even sure I see any discount price they would want as being worth the expenditure. It seems to me they need to be building these with enough quality so there isn't so much loss on the depreciation end of the deal. Spend $200+ K today, and be left with $50k or even less in 10 years assuming reasonable maintaining of the trailer looks like a very bad trade-off to me. And I love trailering!!
WOW!!! on everything, including the $$$ The way that Andrea's bundled up it must be in the 60's...poor kid. Love you both and great review. Wouldn't it be nice to tour Europe and review RV's and see all the different things that manufacturers over there are doing?
Omg we would love to take yall out to dinner on your next visit to Texas. We have 2 spare rooms also. And I gotta agree with Andrea's dislikes. Sending yall love from Fort Worth Texas. ❤
Love the fifty amp on elec reel. Love the slide side is painted TRU FBP (full body paint). So love the kitchen backsplash. Love the extra cabinet space above the washer dryer area I can put my detergent extra, extra vinegar (cause I disinfect my laundry with vinegar) , and my extra dryer sheets that I buy. ((But don’t like it too -look it dislikes)) love that sneaky skinny storage on side of fridge lol. Live the shower size and tile. Live the pocket 🚪 🚪. Always nice to have behind tv storage. Funny. They have step up and my dream Salem villa has step down 😆 I’d the closet cedar lined? I remember one of the tours with a rep -no name remembered sorry rep- had a cedar lined walk in ish closet. Dislikes No to the side ladder. Just no. Where’s the damn outer storage lol. Like wow. Don’t like but do like the tall cabinetry above the washer dryer area I’m Y’all height. Now I need to add in a step ladder 🪜 lol. And I’m afraid of heights. Like the serious catch 22 dub edge sword ⚔️🤷🏽♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤣🤣!!! No table for eating!!!😱😱😱 Lol called the full house 🏠 lol. Loving Andrea in towables **Pauly Shire voice**
Great review as always. Just a quick point of reference, most configurations of the F350 are actually more capable from a towing and payload standpoint as the F450 as they are both rated at 14,000 lb GVWR and the F350 has a lower curb weight, meaning more payload, which this DRV will definitely use most of for sure. The F450 brings the benefit of the wider front axle for a reduced turning radius. I think the only F450 configuration that will have higher numbers than the F350 is the regular cab with the 45,300 GCWR option.
LOL sure, blame the side ladder when the channel has perfectly working USteps. Next thing you know you won't be taking out the patio/ramp too right? I would like to see decent-sized ovens in travel trailers too, though.
I agree with Andrea, I hate that bathroom. I feel that a RV this expensive, they could have done a better Job. Hands down the Grand designs are much nicer than those one.
I think with vents in the floors, carpet on the slides, bargain brand TV's and mechanical sofa, this is far from premium compared to other brands. Womp, womp....
1 dislike would be the vents in the middle of the floor..dirt collector, dog tag catcher and stepping on them barefoot isn’t the best feeling. If you could find a Luxe, a review would be worth watching.
DRV is a Thor industries brand. Hence, it has the same component as Keystone. Their brands include, airstream, crossroads, cruiser, Dutchmen, jayco, tiffin, vanleigh, Thor, Starcraft, entegra, keystone, kz, highland ridge and heartland. It’s nice to see more of the Thor Industries brands since you have gone independent but I do miss the forest river brands.
Matt that is one huge 5th wheel , did not like the Bath area either, the weight was astronomical . Plus no dining table except in the Toy hauled area .. Sorry will pass if push comes to shove.
Likes: build quality Full body paint King bed Dislikes: no outside storage other than the garage. Restroom being separated No place to eat in the kitchen. With all that said if I could afford a DRV I WOULD HAVE ONE, just not a toy hauler.
👎 overpriced 👎 outdoor storage 👎 cheap roof 👎 no dining area 👎 carpet & mid floor vent 👎 too durn tall 👍 real stove & oven tho the fridge is a bit big 👍 washer/dryer placement 👍 pass thru bathroom & 👍 half bath for guests or when in the back. 👎 silly small sink tho in main bath
Dislikes: stove not centered, floor vent and carpet, rear bath sink has no counter space and rear bath location not good. Likes: size of bedroom, washer/dryer, size of garage though interior built for tall people.
I'm sorry but Im not like this for the price! No power, heated and massage seats. Don't really like the bathroom layout. No storage around the TV. No full length tie downs like the valors have, the weight seems like a lot..I get its more luxurious but my 45 ft voltage is 4k less. Don't like the w/d right by the door. Should be a coat and shoe closet. The rear bathroom is tiny. No cup holders in the back couches. No lift. The water capacity is only 100 gallons. The freaking leveling panel is exposed outside so someone can level it and even steal the thing. No coffee bar area. I do like the back splash and paint. I like the valor, voltage, momentum and raptors better.
It's a towable party bus and not much of a toy hauler. At this price point it should have a air compressor with inside & outside QDs. All of the accent lighting looks 6k but the regular facon ceiling fixtures are 4k and look out of place. It's ridiculous that somebody isn't making 5-6k ceiling fixtures by now.
Dislike... Why .. Why.. Why.. Is The Out Door Panel To The Hot Water Heater Not Painted.?? Really... On A.. "Top Of The Line" .. "Luxury".. DRV.?? $240,000.00... WHY.?
How the hell are you gonna say blatant lies? DRV is certainly not more expensive than Luxe and New Horizons. In terms of overall quality and reputation, DRV isn’t even close to Luxe and Luxe is even a step below New Horizons
Always love your videos even though I may never buy anything you show. Great to see Andrea on the towables channel. ❤
I guess I'm one of the people that like the bathroom layout. The fact it is passthrough creates a lot more room.
Andrea is absolutely right! The bathroom setup and lack of a dining arrangement suck. There is nowhere to eat, or work.
DRV is mostly custom, they offer a dining option, but it's also a toy hauler and has the dining table in the very back just for anyone that might be unaware.
A Towables video WITH Andrea? Christmas has come early! Thanks for the long trip to make this review possible, we appreciate it.
Matt dressing like Day 1, Andrea dressing like an absolute boss, y'all are so cute!
A quarter million dollars and no dishwasher? I thought it was full of options.
The dishwasher is an option in the island.
I noticed that the island is kind of close to the stove. Opening the oven door I don't think you could stand in front of it to get food in or out. I kind of missed it not having a dining table. It is a very nice RV though.
Love how open this toy hauler feels, I would have (little) passed the 1/2 bath since it's for guest and kids.

gotta love those Floridians bundling up like it's -50f outside when it's really 50 😁 love you guys!
Matt you are 100% right on needing something larger than a one ton. It’s not tow that will get you, it’s stopping. These rigs are just a dream rig but man they are heavy heavy heavy.

As a couples coach, the bathroom is amazing! But your right, with additional people it gets weird.
That MSRP is insane. I agree that it needs some kind of table or tables across from the tv. I need a place to put a plate and beer during my college football games that is close ot the kitchen.

Hey Matt and Andrea - My husband and I have been looking at tow haulers both fifth wheel and motorhomes - the issue we are having is the max cargo weight that the garage can hold. Most of the ones we look at max out at 1,500 pounds, we have been trying to find one that can hold 2,000 pounds - It would be nice if in your videos when you have a tow hauler if you would mention the max cargo for the garage area. Thanks.
That's a class A motorhome price. Wow
Just so you know Matt, I have a 2018 Ram 3500 dually specked capable of pulling 30,000 lbs. I passed semi’s climbing the mountains pulling my 42 ft 5th wheel no problem. My truck could haul this RV with no issue, don’t need f450. 🍻
I love the kitcken..I use to cook 🍳 for a living 😋 that kitchen would make me very happy 😊
That shower is a hard no

For that price there's no excuse not to have a full fiberglass roof
That MSRP is absolutely NUTS 🥜.

Great job on this video. Looks better than any apartment I could afford.

does the ramp turn into a patio?

I liked it! Was the bedroom closet lined with real cedar wood?
Very nice but NOT the most expensive toy hauler.
Always better to see Andrea
How short are you people?
MHSRV has great photos of units, but they don't budge at all from their online prices (and they aren't always the cheapest).
Beautiful paint Job, pretty big where would you park it? Not sure I like the shower placement. Over all nice toy hauler!👍
Just a FYI...F350 and F450 Have the exact same GVWR
Ats would be cool to see
Don't like the bathroom, the stove not being centered in the counter, and no dining ability in the living room. Waaaay too expensive as well
sales tax in TX is kinda high thats why this rv is expensive
LOL sure, blame the side ladder when the channel has perfectly working USteps. Next thing you know you won't be taking out the patio/ramp too right?
I would like to see decent-sized ovens in travel trailers too, though.
I appreciate this video but the Luxe Toy Hauler absolutely stomps on this DRV for luxury and quality. It's not even close.
Considering the Luxe MSRP is $100k more...
LIKE THE KITCHEN THE LAYOUT THE BATHROOM DON’T LIKE THE MASTER BED SIZE IT NEEDS TO BE QUEEN SIZE BED THE CARPET THE 1/2 BATH TOILET REPLACEMENT
I agree with Andrea, I hate that bathroom. I feel that a RV this expensive, they could have done a better Job. Hands down the Grand designs are much nicer than those one.

$200,000 G’s ish?.. I’d check out the Luxe Line-Up of 5th Wheel and Toy Haulers.. More Contemporary Looking.

Cheap electrical or non-electric appliances in a very expensive Toy Hauler. I would go with the Cyclone over this one.
Matt that is one huge 5th wheel , did not like the Bath area either, the weight was astronomical . Plus no dining table except in the Toy hauled area .. Sorry will pass if push comes to shove.
No place to sit and eat

I am only 4ft 6in so I would need a fireman's 🪜 ladder
