I agree; we have to put in the work before we make those crucial decisions.

A lawyer I know of that specializes in cars. He says, never buy a new RV. The warranties suck and are hard to enforce. Most of the time you need to take the RV to Indiana, where most are manufactured. He say what you should do, is rent several different ones so you understand what the differences are. Once you've settled on a size and style, you can keep renting that.Or, if you plan to use the RV for more than one week a year. Buy a used one. Chances are the current owner only used the RV for one week a year. They found and fixed the problems. They did modification you need. They took the hit on the depreciation. And chances are they only used it for a few weeks. Not much wear and tear.

You guys are so informative ❤

Very well said 👏

Great insights, thanks for sharing!

I don't like the Ekko, but am torn between the Condor and the Coachmen Cross Trail. They both have good points, and negatives.

Good. They have been bending the consumer over for the last 5 years. I was going to buy new. But I did a lot of research and didn’t see alot of positive feedback. If I am going to buy a project, I’ll buy something old. That’s exactly what I did. Picked up a 2 owner 2003 35’ Forrest river cardinal in immaculate condition for the age. Was kept under cover and didn’t move for 12 years. Owner stayed in it for 2 weeks out of the month over the last 12 years. The guy is also very meticulous. The only thing I had to do was re-wire the trailer light pig tale & put new wheels and tires on it. Paid $4,000 for it, spent $1,500 on 5 wheels and 14 ply tires, figure I’ll have another $1,000 in misc expenses including the fuel it took to get it out of South Carolina. This thing is solid. Going to polish the fiberglass, replace the flooring, paint the interior and do some nice counter tops / build a desk. All in I’m looking at $10k. For something that I own out right & I can tweak to my taste.

Great advice.

Thank you for sharing

I pump out campers where dump stations arent available. I see all the new trailers from all the brands. Anything new is nothing but a box towable box of issues.

I just found your channel. You guys do a great job of explaining things. My wife and I only camp 4-5 times a year. We bought a camper to fit that lifestyle.

There cant be many asset classes that depreciates faster and harder than RVs.

Biggest RV warning collection I’ve seen. Appreciate your videos… but sad my excitement for 36 ft gasser has now evaporated… I know things break but for goodness sakes.. no wonder warranties are a year

People can no longer afford to rent apartments--they are buying towables to live in. People can't get financed on the As, Bs, and Cs because they are considered a luxury item by the banks--and they are no longer interested in financing them.

A life is more valuable than the cost of a crash test. They should do the crash test!

Automobile Industry they don't test their Cars is an independent Third Party who do the test. RV industry is more like house industry or Boat Industry

OMG lol

50% off 2023 MSRP is 50% off of a fake number

RV trader is full of negative bias the prices that r stale r overpriced at mkt they r sold n u don't see them listed

I do not work for the RV- I do work in Finance in the Car Industry. A lot of your information is Biased and wrong information.. PDI is called pre delivery inspection- it’s supposed to be done to verify out of the factory that it’s up to par! Liquid accommodation- accessories- etc. Now in regards to the Price- it’s supply and demand- but more importantly it’s a buisness- nobody does anything for free! Regardless of how an institution makes their money! There’s no dirty secrets- it’s called buisness. I find that quite disrespectful actually.

Is easy we are fff broke and those fff thing that we shit dollars bills ❤

I wish they would have crash tested my current Class A as that would have prevented me, or anyone, from buying that P.O.S. Anyway, in two years my wife will retire and we have our eyes on the best floor plan ever created, IMHO. The Tiffin Allegro Bus 45 FP (Fully Pimped). We hope to buy a 2025, which will be two years old at that point. P.S. when I first moved to MD I stayed in a campground in PG county. Can’t recall the name of it or the little town it is in. That was 22 years ago.

Thanks for sharing. Please continue sharing this type of info.

Won't they be too old to be allowed to park in many RV parks before they are paid off?

All of the manufacturers love to talk about how important safety is yet name an RV with airbags? You can't imagine crashing a $200k+ RV? Well auto manufacturers who make cars costing over $100k crash them. Moreover, I an RV with an MSRP of $200k costs the manufacturer between $50-$75 (e.g., the dealer pays approx 50% of MSRP and the actual cost to the manufacturer cost is approx 50% of that or 25% of MSRP which is why they can discount them so deeply) to produce so that is not an acceptable excuse. Way back in the day Winnebago used to test Class A's even dropping them on their roof. Many RV stickers look like I made it on my PC and printed it on a dot matrix printer. Don't buy a Monday or a Friday build. When I see factory tour videos and I see workers performing repetitive tasks I shake my head why this is not automated. I own a 2017 Newmar that has had over $60,000 worth of repairs.

Maybe people aren’t willing to buy garbage, finally.
