Mobile Suite 36RSSB3

Walt · 04-20-2018, 10:41 AM

Getting ready to order Mobile Suite 36RSSB3. I'm trying to get the exact measurement of the length and height of the trailer. The book says 37' 2" but that is from the center of the pin to the rear bumper. I'm looking for the measurement from the front cap to the 2" hitch or bumper. The exact length is important as I have limited space where I store the trailer. I'm also considering adding the 2" riser and need an exact height measurement with 2 AC's and satellite dish. I currently have a Mobile Suite 2010 32RS3 that rides a little nose high.
Thank you for any information you can provide.
Walt

I highly advise the 2" riser as ALL of the newer trucks will require this. My 2016 DRV with 3" risers is 13'5" at the highest point.

FWIW, my former '05 36TK3 actually measured 37-11....
Current 38RSSA measures 39-6

x2 on the riser addition, and the 13'5" OAH.

I haven't measured the actual length, but I park in a 60' garage, and hooked up to my LWB, SRW truck, I can barely close the door and still have a few inches at the back. I have measured the height as my garage has a 14' opening/door. When the door is fully raised, it's about 13'6" and I have to let the air out of the air bags to clear. The highest point on the trailer is ~13'3" when it's level, but on the truck it rides a little high; that's why I have to deflate the bags.

new to the forum new to mobile suite just ordered a 2019 36rssb3 toured the plant last year and was very impressed . after having several 5 ers hope this is the one that lasts . gotta wait 10-14 weeks for it to be built . walt if your thinking of ordering keep that in mind also I ordered because of a 2,000 dollar increase may 1 ,

Walt · 04-29-2018, 09:40 PM

Sunbirds, Thank you for the heads up about the price increase. My dealer told me about the $2,000 price increase so I ordered it last week. I won't be taking delivery until middle of August. It takes about 3 months to build and ship. I've ordered the 2019 36 RS3 which is a split bathroom and a special build. We like to be able to use the bathroom without putting the slide out. I'm trading in my 2010 MS 32RS3.

I measured ours when we first got it and it was right at 40' total length.

Walt · 05-01-2018, 08:00 PM

I finally heard back from the factory. They said 38' 7" and add 7" for ladder. so that adds up to 39' 2". Thank you everyone for the help. Order is in, so now all I have to do is wait.

sunbirds · 05-07-2018, 01:33 PM

well all we have to do is wait Walt mine was ordered in Michigan close to the plant so I'm hoping a short turnaround delivery also hi volume dealer we will see. Keep me posted on updates if you don't mind .

Walt · 05-07-2018, 05:24 PM

Hello Sunbird, We are going on a long trip with the old trailer and won't be back until the middle of August. It should be at the dealers when we get back.

sunbirds · 05-07-2018, 08:41 PM

happy and safe travels

kannon · 05-30-2018, 09:32 PM

Correct my 2018 36rssb3 is 39 ft. 2" cap to ladder.

Walt · 05-30-2018, 09:41 PM

kannon, Thank you! That confirms what the factory told me. Mine goes into production on June 15th. Walt

sunbirds · 05-31-2018, 06:25 PM

production june 15 walt is that still on tap for august pickup just wondering I ordered mine when you ordered yours i've herd nothing

Walt · 05-31-2018, 07:16 PM

Sunbird, Yes, August pickup is still good as far as I know. The West Region Sales Rep gave me the production date and said that 3rd week of August is still good. It may be in sooner but we won't be back from our Oregon trip until the end of the 2nd week of August. The dealer knows our plans and said the 3rd week should work out. Only problem is we have to drive to HOT HOT Lake Havasu City, AZ where it will probably be 110 or more degrees! Do you know who your Factory Rep is? He/she can find out for you. I placed my order with the factory rep who happened to be at the dealers place. He knew what could or couldn't be done at DRV. We made all kinds of changes to the trailer, just like Rolling Retreats does. I even had to sign off on the floor plan changes since we wanted the split bathroom. Walt

Sunbird, If you want to see what your new 2018 DRV 36RSSB3 is going to look like go to YOUTUBE.COM and put in 2018 DRV Mobile Suites 36 RSSB3. One is with the Hazelnut and the other is with the Mocha Cherry interior.

sunbirds · 05-31-2018, 09:47 PM

walt I actually seen a 2019 36rssb3 at the tampa show in march just like we wanted interior but partial paint was wrong color and had a generator . I also wanted frosted glass on shower slide toppers and dinette awning . so I had to order it my rep is Dwayne Kazmierczak and he is telling me late august early September . picking mine up in Michigan no dealers in western new York my rv the rep says my unit has to go thru engineering as well before production with all the add ons the wife and I did . john

Walt · 05-31-2018, 10:38 PM

John, Mine had to go through engineering also. All the add-on's must have added more engineering time to yours than mine did. O'well we just have to be patient! And I'm not! The 2019 changes look nice. Walt

hdrider · 06-01-2018, 12:08 AM

I would be curious to what type of changes you have been able to make that it would take going through engineering. When we toured the plant every time I asked if we could have something done we were told no. We were told no enough times that we are now looking at going with New Horizons so we can get what we want.
Maybe DRV can actually do enough of what we want that we could still go with them and save a little money.
