How we fixed the trim in our Fleetwood Bounder RV
Great video
I heard from a certified inspector say the golden years for all RVs was 2000 to 2008 before the financial meltdown of 08.
Our 2023 Thor came from factory with over 300 defects. Currently in litigation like many others.
I decided to build my house instead of getting the RV. 😅
Congrats on the house!🎉 There's always RV rentals if you want to get out on the road! 😊

Great informative video guys!
Thank you! 😊
Hello @AmpedtoGlamp!! It’s been a while since I have posted on your videos. The main reason is I have been out RVing myself lol. Agree with you on all points. I have my Class A parked in my driveway and being in Alaska it’s rough in the wintertime. We have over 100+ mph winds for a week or longer and checking your RV afterwards is a must. I check mine at least once a month on the inside. The outside all the time. With catalytic converters being stolen on a regular basis it’s nice to keep your second home on wheels close. The horror stories we hear about stored RV’s having there catalytic converter’s stolen are higher than you know or think about. I missed the video on your possible new rig. Did an inspector look at it?
@907RVing glad to hear you've been out traveling and enjoying RV life! Oh wow! We didn't realize you were in Alaska. Those winds are brutal! We did an initial look over the RV ourselves and refused it before calling in an inspector. Too much wrong with it.
@ after just watching this video and seeing probably the few items that you showed would have let me know also to walk away. Glad you did. Personally I like the used Class A market myself. Pros and Cons to this as well. I like tinkering and upgrading stuff.
"facts," everything you said.
Thank you! We tried to capture as much as we could.
This video is packed with so much good information! It's crazy that even an expensive RV has so many problems!
I hear RVing is a lot like boating. Thanks for peeking in on the other mode of travel! 😊
Howdy and happy holidays You may want to converse with these great people Birds of the same feather ruclips.net/video/CY5CgTynJ-k/видео.html
Oh yes! We know the Adventure Bandits. Great couple!
I use the heck out of our class B Grech. One year old 30k miles on it. Stay in it 10-13 times per month. It’s been a beast. We take spontaneous trips once a month and never had issues getting place. Bonus of sprinter van is any sprinter certified Mercedes dealer will service it. We are looking at class As though and haven’t pulled the trigger cause all the issues.
We've heard a lot of good things about the Grech! Glad to hear you are getting lots of use out of it!
Great video. There is so much maintenance to be done even if you don’t use it and I think a lot of people miss that part of the buying process
That's very true! And to be honest, we had no idea how much maintenance was needed when we purchased our RV. Glad you enjoyed the vid! 😊
Have been following the rv industry for 35 yrs. Would not purchase a new unit. I look at the models sold by outfits like Premier Rv of Oregon & The Motorcoach Store. Although the Motorcoach store specializes in higher end units, they do take in well cared for & more reasonably priced units. Premier takes in the the best units from the heyday of the industry from Country Coach, Beaver, Monaco & Safari. These units range from yrs 2000 to 2017, were garage kept & meticulously maintained. Also, many of their techs originaly built & serviced these units. These manufacturers built units that had better quality than many conversions , at a better price. Thx again....
I want to visit motorcoach store to shop but 1200 miles from us.
@longrider50 So true! Those are two great dealers that sell quality coaches. Would love to have a Country Coach, Monaco or Prevost.
We have being trying to reserve at our state park (AZ), zero availability for areas that are warmer. I believe there were 4 parks that have availability but up north and we wanted a park in a “warmer” area. 🥶 Years ago, we lived full time in our class A RV for 3 years until we had our home built. It worked out well. Insulation is not too great during winter.
hmmm....I guess things are different as you move west. We'll keep that in mind. How did you keep water from in the winter? Did you use heated hoses?
@ No, as long as the water is connected and flowing no issue. We never had our RV plumbing freeze. Keep in mind that you’re running heat so the coach is warm.
200k is not high end, add a zero.
I guess it's relative. It's like looking at a 20K TT next to a $300K Class A. And, there's definitely a difference between a 400k RV and a million dollar Prevost. I view brands like Prevost as ultra luxury.
I wanna say thanks for always sharing stuff like this and for always being straight forward and honest. We are looking at getting an RV and starting to travel. So I have learned quite a bit from your channel and some others that share. God bless and safe travels
Thanks for your video
Our pleasure! 😊
well that's not entirely true i have a prevost liberty coach and i travel with it for 10 months at a time and it works fine
@@Rollingwithkenny yea. We should have included models like the provost as the exception.
@@AmpedtoGlamp Yes i paid over 2 million for my liberty coach and i just ordered a brand new one . Liberty customer service is excellent. and i keep my motorhomes in a warehouse with full hook-ups. and climate controlled warehouse.i been Rving for 10 plus years now. i do 5 months on and come home for a month. that's when i get all needed services done then.
Dream status coach
Great video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it! 😊
The problem with the RV Industry cross multiple areas: 1) Poor quality RV's coming out since 2020. 2) Getting service for your RV is challenging. Can take months to get in, and then more months for them to order parts and actually fix it. Fixes go wrong. 3) RV Park's require 6+ months advanced planning to get in 4) RV Park rates are unrealistically high 5) Storage challenge for many people (HOA regulations, high remote storage costs) 6) People have 2 or 3 weeks of vacation a year, making the ROI of RV ownership extremely expensive in comparison to standard hotel rates 7) RV travel beyond about 800 miles from your home require extended, long trips, which are challenging to escape your employer / business to take that kind of time.
What do you think? Did we miss any misconceptions?
I went to an rv show in brasil in November, the quality and fitures are amazong and the prices 40% less than the US.
Price, qualitu, customer service off the roof im new in rv and loking for 15 hears old or older grits
Had a friend buy a brand new cyclone 🌀..the roof peeled off the 2nd week he was on the road..🤨
Forcast prices
The very end of this video made me LOL so hard!!!!!! John was like "I'm DONE!!!" lol
Halfway through your video and I am noticing you’re not mentioning brands. What kind of weak ish is that?
Sure...now your rig will be at the dealer getting fixed for THREE years.
This was a fun visit! I've always wanted to visit Colonial Williamsburg and your video makes me want to go even more. 😊
It's a very immersive experience and an interesting way to learn history. Hope you get to check it out!
Umm random Australian here, great video, I love the casual / social history like this. I have been looking at Colonial Williamsburg on RUclips for some months, but had never seen it at night, That did look eary/ slightly scary/ Gost like stuff. Well done for doing it Would I do the Payton Randolph House, possibly, but may have to sike myself up a bit first, being there and hearing the statistics - yeah about that ohhhh. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed the video. There's no way to capture all the great history of Colonial Williamsburg in just one video. If you ever visit it's worth taking the ghost tour but be prepared to leave a bit rattled. There's definitely a strange uncomfortable feeling while in the Randolph house. And, what makes it worse is that there is no electricity. So your inside by candle light only. Thanks for watching!
Would love to see Williamsburg
It's a great place to visit and it's huge! You'll need at least two days.
Love Williamsburg for touring. Great place.
We love Williamsburg too!
Wish I had known you were in Williamsburg. Would have joined you. Only live 30 minutes away . Love Newport News park for camping.
We'll be back again and we'll let you know when we go.
Okay. Great . Thanks.
I usually drive at 65 too but lately I notice that if I go 55 the wind/engine noise are reduced significantly so when I want to relax and not in a rush I drive 55.
I thought the Gerry Curl faded out ages ago
You were at one of our favorite state parks. We were there for Thanksgiving weekend
We love that park too. It's a must-visit! Wish we had more time there.
Nice Video Guys. Williamsburg is one of our favorite go to places. Of course, we only live about 45 minutes from there. And we did the Payton Randolph house tour and it was just creepy. That food looked amazing! Thanks for Sharing.😊
Thank you! Really great experience and we look forward to going back again minus the ghost tour! 😅
Hello, Great video. If you don't mind me asking what braking system did you get for your toad? Thanks.
Hi. We got the patriot brake system but I can't really recommend it. Had some issues with after about 6 months.
@AmpedtoGlamp sorry to hear that and hope it gets better. 🙏. Is your maximus-3 working well for you? Again thanks.
@javiermartinez9355 love the Maximus
We had a great visit in Williamsburg. Would you go into the Payton Randolph house?
How muchweight can one add to cargo carriers on tge slide--wont it wearout the slide motor faster? Maybe only store light stuff like toilet paper, garbage bags, undies and tyty whities.
Guys, I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, and I love your passion and concern. As an OLD RV’R, I can understand the frustration folks have. I’ve commented before, 40 years of RV ownership, and yes, I’ve seen declines in quality. But I’ve seen quality decline in my cars, my trucks, the parts at Home Depot, the junk on Amazon, the quality of home construction, home appliances and list goes on. I saw the auto industry make some horrible cars in the late 70’s and 80’s. My 84 Cadillac’s engine burned out at 26,000 miles due to a design flaw. Cadillac didn’t go away. The RV industry isn’t going away, and junk motorhomes ( I can name a few) have been around for 20 years. Motorhomes have always been high dollar , high maintenance items, just worse now but good products can still be found. My advice to ANYONE considering buying an RV of ANY TYPE: do lots of homework, don’t get fooled by glitz, be reasonable in your expectations, consider used between 2014 ad 2019, do MORE RESEARCH, and always get an RV INSPECTION from a reputable source. Keep the Faith. Life’s good.
Excellent advice everyone needs to know! Thanks so much for sharing and thank you for your kind works. Safe travels!
Give me a brand new small RV ,,donate ,,giveaway,,that will brighten up the bad publicity of take ,take,,, and no give give ,,, especially for all the money they have made ..
Thanks for all your great content. Always look forward to your new releases. Would you buy a Fleetwood diesel pusher based on experiences with your Bounder? Seems like Rev always makes it right 😮 eventually
Well.....we did purchase a Fleetwood DP last year but it had so many issues we refused delivery.
One more thing try to buy a floor plan that been produced for many years. One it’s been around because it’s popular. 2nd more important is by now the problems in manufacturing has been solved . Use common sense in buying a RV. The more it’s build by a car company the better. Stay away from class A built by low wage no union workers.
Good advice!
