Frame Flex: Who's fault is it? Grand Design or Lippert?

The RV industry is not backing their customers and will fail. Since 2009, the RV industry has been producing unreliable motorhomes, 5th wheels and travel trailers. In this video, I go over the reasons why they are failing their customers and what they need to do to correct the issues. I also go over T-Mobile and their pause on the AWAY plan.

CAMPING IN THE 1950S : Family Traditions That are Disappearing

Camping became so popular in the 1950s and 60s that it became an extension of the suburban dream. Keeping costs low for the larger families of the baby boom era remained significant.

    Interesting timing on this. Ironically, it was the atomic bomb that led to American E.W. Deming going to Japan in the 50s and helping them focus on production quality with his "System of Profound Knowledge". This and his focus on "statistical product quality", and continuous improvement were the precursors to some of the LEAN and 6 Sigma methodologies. This, combined with the Toyota Production System that started in their early textile business, led to the rise of Japanese auto making. My point is that we had everything we needed here years before our implosion....if anyone wanted to listen. Deming had been preaching his principles around waste and statistical management for years, but no one was interested. Sounds familiar. The auto-industry then was fat and happy and customer agnostic, just like the RV industry has been. I hope Elkhart gets a wakeup call that does not start with a very bright light.

    Doom! Gloom! The sky is falling! News flash folks, the quality control issues of RV’s is not a new phenomenon. I’ve had 4 travel trailers over the past 12 years. If you are the type of person who doesn’t know how to fix things or how to use tools and need to go back to the dealer to have a light bulb changed then you are in for a lot of disappointments. These things are a house on wheels that also need to be built as lightweight as possible so people can hitch them to their vehicles and pull them down the road. While towing they are hitting potholes, swaying back and forth while many times being overloaded by people who ignore their published weight capacities. Yes, there are no lemon laws, etc. So grab your tools and hit road. That’s how the game is played…….

    • @RV411CHANNEL
      @RV411CHANNEL 6 месяцев назад

      Slightly agree. My younger brother can't change a light bulb so he would be in that bag. I bought me a 2006 Holiday Rambler Endeavor. I'm lucky ennough to be mechanically inclined to change the oil, replace ATS and other things. With that said, here recently we seem to see a pattern with how the units are built since covid. They have gotten worse than your everyday problems. I bought a new travel trailer in 2022. Sold it a year later. The build quality was pure CRAP.

  • @sebastiant5695
    @sebastiant5695 6 месяцев назад

    A car is a highly standardized product, each manufacturer has maybe 20-30 models and they built them by the tens or hundred thousands. RV manufacturer have more models - and change them yearly and don't produce nearly as much. So the learning effect from a lean system doesn't pans out. I never buy a first year model car/truck - they usually get all the kinks worked out in year 3-5. I can do that because the same model of car is usually produced 7-10 years. Any RV is only produced for a year - maybe two when the floorplan is popular. The RV industry would need to slow down - build the same floorplan for a couple of years and work out the issues - optimize etc. But with the current "All new every year" sales model- that will be difficult. "New" does not mean good!! With the latest and greatest your always an free tester for the manufacturer.

      @RV411CHANNEL 6 месяцев назад

      True. I always tell me employees at my workplace that contractors need to "slow the bus down" and do things right out in our city of San Antonio. To put it in simple terms, the demand was so high during and after covid that things got VERY SLOPPY because they wanted to throw these boxes to consumers knowing that they'd have problems. Numbers don't lie. Not saying they're all bad but many of these houses on wheels are just bad. Not right. THANKS FOR WATCHING AND OFFERING YOUR OPINION.

    Thank You for this message. Having witnessed the Lean manufacturing transformation process in a steel company, and being on the team that facilitated that transformation in a global food processing corporation, I can confirm that it does improve quality, reduces waste, increases employee satisfaction, and increases profitability, and in very measurable terms. I’ve touted the concept on another channel where there is a push for a “continuous improvement program” in the industry, however, I’m not sure there is an understanding of the fundamentals and activities required to achieve that goal by the facilitator of that program. The industry itself, as individual companies, must decide to survive and thrive. The transformation can be done and in a relatively short amount of time. They’ve just never had a reason to improve,,, until now… Keep up the pressure and thanks again.

    T-Mobile announced a delay in rolling out the new plan. They claimed ‘technical issues’. To me this says, customer posts caused an uproar that got the attention of TM decision makers. That said, “we the people” (most) are always looking for ways to hack something. The T&C clearly states a fixed location. Address of account registration. I’ve had TM LTE since it rolled out. We’re in the north GA woods. The app usually show ‘good’ strength sometimes ‘weak’. Overall I am pleased. We cut the cord of $240.000 per month. We buy apps as needed if we want to watch a particular show. We have the no commercial Discover Plus app. $9.99 per month. It has everything we want to watch, or we mirror my iPad to watch RUclips.
