What a big difference in ride quality from my previous 2009 34' Ford V10. And, with Comfort Drive, that's the icing on the cake.

We have a 2015 DS and drives and rides great. When did a test drive I couldn't get over how quiet it was. It is noisier now because of all our stuff on board. It is a great machine! You won't regret it.

Between the tag axle, the comfort drive and the IFS, the improvement over my previous 41' DP is astounding to me.

You are right, RVRon. How could I have forgotten the other items that were important to me when I created my must-haves list (tag, IFS).

For what it's worth were still having a love affair with our 2008 Mountain air. The comfort Drive and tag axle makes all the difference. You're going to love your new adventures. Congratulations! By the way we have 93,000 miles on our girl now.

Long time and we have not heard from you in a while, Joe. How time flies since you and Lisa were in Marco Island.

But the reason I wrote is that I love her name: The Agrivator!!

Woofie used to rule but that name is the coolest.

Good to hear from you! Hope all's well on your end. We're still traveling full-time, it's been three years now, and this winter we're in the Southwest -- Phoenix, Yuma, Tucson. Woofie and the Nagrivator say hi!
