Does the 2016 DRV Houston have the same floorplan as the 2017 with the mini "Office" or tv area in front (forward) of the kitchen? Let us know how it works out. There are many days where having a separate office area would be nice for my work.

 

edit- Just looked at the link Big5er provided below. The Houston model I have seen had the 1/2 bath deleted and turned into an office area. That's why I was curious about the "office space".

I think you are thinking of the Cumberland floor plan. That is the one with the mini office/entertainment area separated from the rest of the coach.

 

Larry&DonnaAK have a Houston that we saw at the WCR. They had the center bath converted to storage. It was a nice floor plan.

 

Congratulations on the new home. We may be joining you in the DRV family soon. We're heading to Rolling Retreats next weekend to have some discussions.

Thanks for the link Phil. But Houston is a city not a 5er. But then since I don't have a DRV that may be the reason I did not know.

 

Nice rig Rocky. Hope you can enjoy it now and I hope the knee is all healed.

That's great news Rocky! There is a Teton Royal for sale in our town. I stopped to check it out a few weeks ago, but it turned out to be one of those "nice from far, far from nice" rigs.

 

Glad i stopped to look at the Royal, cause I had been planning on consigning our 40 foot Class A there, until I saw how this guy operates

Rocky, it's great to hear you are finally going to be able to put this behind you and move on. It looks like a great floor plan!

Congratulations on your new home. When this storm first happened I knew everything would work out just fine in the end. Hopefully we'll make it to Hutch this time and see your DRV. Only drawback is your going to have to park near Rick Jennings now, hahahahahaha.

Didn't Rocky get a DRV? And don't you have a DRV? Don't all those New Horizons guys have to park together? Need I say more?
