Lately, we’ve seen some DRV owners and enthusiasts asking online about DRV model numbers and names.
What do the numbers and letters in our model names stand for? Because we work with RVs every day, it’s easy to forget that our internal codes aren’t common knowledge, so we thought this would be an excellent opportunity to give everyone a peek behind the scenes and demystify our naming conventions.
The DRV brand rests on the shoulders of Mobile Suites, the foundational model that gives Full House something to build upon. Mobile Suites is DRV’s range of luxury fifth wheels, with models from just over 38 feet long to 46 feet long.
All our 46-foot models have three axles for additional support, and we name our triple-axle floor plans after cities: Orlando, Houston, Nashville, and Manhattan. Big floor plans deserve big names to do justice to features like extra-large living areas for hosting family and friends, spacious bunkhouse suites for traveling with guests, and master bathrooms with his-and-hers sinks for a deluxe tooth-brushing experience.
Mobile Suites models under 46 feet long have double axles, and we name them for the specific features and elements in each model’s layout. For example:
Mobile Suites
In Mobile Suites 36RSSB3:
- RS refers to the rear sofa, referencing the roomy living area at the back of the coach.
- SB refers to the side bathroom.
