New Horizons RV - Frame
Просмотров 9 тыс.Год назад
New Horizons RV builds custom RV's to the owners specifications. They build their frame in-house instead of using "commodity" frames. That way you get a frame engineered specifically for your custom 5th wheel. This video provides a quick overview of the frame and some of the running gear. Looking for a manufacturer willing to implement your ideas for a 5th wheel RV? Take a close look at New Hor...

Walk thru of the interior of our 2021 New Horizons Majestic. This is a custom built 43' 5th wheel that is our primary residence. After fulltiming for 22 years and owning three other custom RVs, this is our latest build. If someone was interested in a New Horizons and did not want to wait the 18 months for a build, we would consider selling this one (assuming the floorplan worked for you).

not even close to a strong frame
Awe, come on Ken.
Hello Ken, are you an engineer? I’m not but, I’m a chassis builder. I part time build Drag racing cars, also I’m an aerospace welder for 15 yrs and I’ve been welding for 35 yrs as well. It’s a pretty good frame. But I think a lot of the welds could be better and, a lot of the brackets need to have doubler plates on them but, again they are a custom RV company sky is the limit. I’m not trying to be that guy.
Beautiful!!
I’m not too familiar with mini split systems. Curious how it works being 30k btu but then only 12k and 9k cassettes? How is that enough cooling capacity when most RV’s this size are triple 15k btu
What's the asking price?
Good video
Good afternoon, I’m watching your interesting video, you tell it very interestingly, you’re great, you can not only live in it, but also work, I live prosperity and success for you and your family
Looks like you need to wash it
It definitely needs a wash. I shot this quick video for someone interested in it. It will get washed a little later.
Jack, are the gear packs and the Jack shaft between them accessible for maintenance?
There is no real maintenance required. If you break a sheer bolt you can access that. You can also access the gears if you break a tooth. Both may require removing a panel under the rig. I've done both on my personal rigs with no issue. But in general there is little reason to do that in normal situations.
How does the length of this exact combination compare to the length of a F350 crew cab with 8’ bed?
This truck is 30' long, bumper to bumper. Yet maneuvers better than a CC dually because of the wheel cut and location of the hitch. It enables backing into spots that the CC dually would have far more of a problem with.
@@JackMayer Thanks for the information. I figured that it would have a better turning radius because the F350 turn radius is horrible. Even the F450 is much better.
C4YT!!!
Nice rig.
Jack, most units I’ve seen have a step up platform on the upper deck, why? And... if you want to use a DC to DC converter, is it possible to hide the cable inside the frame? (Never mind on my 2nd question.)
Omg this guys voice sounds like Saul Goodman
Very nice. Just one thing I would change. I would add fish plates from the hitch frame to the front uprights to the lower deck. But that's me. I tend to over build. I would also add gussets to the front hitch beam to the side box beams.
Jesus. Nobody asked
I thought the same thing. BTW, what’s a “fish plate “.
@@edgewood2441 A fish plate is a flat plate of steel that is as thick or thicker than the frames thickness. Twice as long as the frame is wide. If your frame is 10 inches wide between the upper and lower flanges than the fish plate has to be 20 inch by 10 inch.
@@peteengard9966 Thank you for the info and your time. Appreciated.
Jack ! may I ask why still the 5th chassis and not a full semi trailor example spacecraft etc, its got to be stronger allthough heavier I presume but with the increased class 8 semi towing these RV s would it not be less hassle , thinking of the increased use of full semi rigs overall its slowly becoming the norm to get away from the normal pick-ups style of old.
If you want to pay for the heavier frame go for it. It’s all about the money. You get what you pay for.
Thanks for the new frame video
Good video 😀 very informative 👍
Great video Jack.
That's a sweet looking, and well thought out truck bed. I really like the fact that you take care of the paperwork, transferring it to a RV. I will actually be looking to build one next year
You said this isn’t your first New Horizons . How is the resale value on your previous rigs . We have a 2020 Majestic and love it .
Residual value has always been above average, compared to other RVs. At least in our experience. But it is still not an "investment", but a depreciating asset - and should be viewed as such.
What is the purchase price of something like this? Thanks. Trying to compare to equal units.
It is a custom unit, so it would depend on what YOU wanted in it. But on a Majestic figure on an average of about $5700/ft for most people. It can be done for less, but not much less. A Summit would be less than that, of course. A Summit compares well (price wise) with a Luxe or a DRV. A Majestic does not really have any comparison to a production unit - it would only be compared to a Spacecraft 5th wheel. (not the semi).
@Jack Mayer What didn't you like about the induction cooktop?
Not fine enough control over heat. A 240volt unit would improve on that, though.
@@JackMayer Ahh, ok. My home has an Induction(240v) and it's awesome. Has 20 steps in temp I think. When will you do the outside and storage areas. Can't wait to see what you did there!
Good video 😀
Are you able to record with a better camera so the video isn’t shaky?
Interesting that it is a little shaky in sections....I took a look at the original video and it is not shaky like that. Not sure what causes it but I might reprocess it and repost it. But probably not - I'm not trying to be a film maker....but I will look more into it for future videos.
Wow😍💖 This is so BEAUTIFUL and well done, great job! I love the contrasting colors, very elegant!!! I never saw this brand, this one though stole my heart! I wanted to add what a great job with the tour! You really explained everything so well, Thank you :)
Very nice...very pretty.. Congratulations....stay safe..J&A
RVH folks have it together. Very nice work on the rigs.
Very Nice 👍
Beautiful coach congratulations on your new home on wheels
Congrats Jack! Beautiful coach! Just ordered my 2nd one from Cole.
Beautiful rig! Do you ever make it back to North Ranch?
Beautiful rig...would love to see a tour of the outside!
Ditto!
I personally got to see the inside of your rig when we went to visit New Horizons factory and visited with Cole in Junction City. They were just finishing up your rig. I love the contemporary look of your rig. I love the floor plan although we would have added a 1/2 bath to make it look more like the DRV Houston floor plan which you obviously enhanced (in a very good way). Kudos to your rig!! Love it.
I like this color
Any more videos of your build Jack?
No I have not shot the "completed" video yet. But I'll do that in the next week or so. Was originally waiting for the furniture to come in and some punch list items, but we are far beyond that now.
@@JackMayer Admiring minds want to know!
@@lesgarten The electrical upgrades are gong to be totally different than what I indicated in the video. I'll use all Victron components - Multiplus inverters running split phase 240v. Fed by a 48 volt battery system with three (minimum) Trophy server rack battery packs (over 15 KWH of power). This will allow me to run my mini-split off of the battery bank. Roof will be covered with solar panels - probably the REC's.
@@rvhlifestyles-customhdts3166 I was looking at the Victron and wondered why you weren't using that. So that makes me feel better. You see it a lot on large Yachts, they must be doing something right.
@@rvhlifestyles-customhdts3166 Thanx for keying me in about the RECs. You gonna build your own battery packs?
Hi Jack Love this truck...Can You recall the WheelBase ??? Hope You Have A Great Thanksgiving!!!
Does RVH have trucks in stock, or only built on demand?
This is really really cool bed build truly like this style of bed wow this is really cool many blessings keep walking tall prayers 4 yall 👍👍💪🙂👍👍 🚐⛺🌌🌄🏞🏖
Hi Jack. Very nice and clean. Could you please send me a message with contact info? I'm looking to have these done for me. Thank you
How much is this to do?
Yes I wanted to know also. I was thinking around around 11k
Do you know anything about the wiring on a hot water heater for an rv? I bought a 6 gallon h2o heater and it's got the white, black, green for the power, but it's also got red green and blue, which I imagine goes to the switches. The wires coming out of rv are grey, white, blue, and brown. Not sure what's what. Lol
I’m not completely familiar with the big foot levelers. Do they have the sensors in the boxes that house the pumps and reservoirs or are the sensors somewhere else to control the leveling function?
There is a central control panel on this model that controls the levelers. Each leveler has its own pump and resevoir. They also make other versions that have a central fluid resevoir. We have always had the four point system (for the last 20 years), and prefer it to other offerings.
Definitely something to be said about only needing 4 jacks when all of these other frames need to have 6.
Curious about how to lubricate and/or service the hydraulic slide rams.
Nothing is required except to keep them clean.
Looks real good.
