It is refreshing to see the AeonRV and the amount of care and thought the owners have put into their product. I have been very interested in the Winnebago EKKO since they came out in 2021. However, there seems to be some major quality control issues on the EKKO that vary from year to year making the EKKO much less appealing to me as time goes on. Many of the issues could be solved with proper quality control and systems management. The AeonRV is now at the top of my wish list when I am ready to transition from a class B to a B+ rv. I expect that to happen in the next couple of years as we get things set up at home to go travel for 6-12 months. I like the ease of using a class B but it just does not have quite enough room for a longer period of time or in colder environments. The AeonRV has all of the features that I like. Only thing is that I would prefer is a mounted manual Fiama awning that covered more of the passenger side of the rv. That can be remedied though. Thank you for the update!
Wonderful to see the evolution as you expand, your pride and confidence is palpable, Jim, congratulations. For video updates, take a B roll during production hours showing the building, office, machinery, and hands on crafting-narrate that video to give us a "wider" view of operations rather when the camera is in tight following you. All very exciting, thank you for the presentation.
Great job Jim. Much better on that eye contact. Beautiful shop, I absolutely love what you guys are doing over there and where the RV industry is headed thanks to Guys like you raising the bar for the sub par quality coming out over the last decade and will force the competition to step up or step aside. Keep up the great, I wish you the best of luck.
FRPs are very strong. The box is held together at the edges using fiberglass pultrusions that are also incredibly strong. Finally, the cabinetry is designed to give extra support to the box, like a rollbar. Overall the box is much stronger than a typical RV built with an aluminum frame.
We us a special lightweight high quality thermally fused laminate plywood that will not swell, squeak or fail in our use case. Our cabinets are very unique, lightweight and installed with polyurethane adhesives. You should check them out in person. We prefer not to build our cabinets out of plastic and HDPE is quite heavy, does not hold screws well, and in our opinion is not a good choice for off-road cabinetry.
Can’t stand a class B plus with non-Dooley wheels. It looks so weak. By the way, maybe it’s a good idea to do a tour when people are actually working so we can see what’s going on.
@@JoshuaMartian-go3tm I’ve never said dually wheels make it look “HARD”, stability is very important and that specific wheel set up, will help with cross-winds + importantly, towing capacity. Especially if somebody has to take out a mortgage to buy one of those units.
We prioritize off-road and dualies are not quite as good. GVWR is up to 9,950lbs and OCCC is 1,000-1,500lbs. Towing up to 4,500lbs, which does not really change much with a dually because the weight is higher. With the suspension modifications we make it drives great on and off road. thanks for your feedback.

It's great to see this update on the manufacturing progress as I just "reserved" one for myself on your website a few days ago.

Thanks 👍
Excited to see all the progress. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I love the facility. Your product looks great from what I've seen in your other videos. The RV industry needs quality products like yours.
Thanks!
Congratulations! It looks like a great facility. You are making great advances!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for providing a tour of your new space. Looks great!
Great video Jim we’re really looking forward to getting ours and plan on visiting your facility this summer
Sounds great!
Awesome progress!, hope to see you running at full speed!… so you can offer a Sprinter chassis later on…
We have no plans to ever build on a Sprinter. Transit a better platform for our designed use cases.
Does Aeon RV have any Financing options for customers or is cash the only way to purchase?
Yes, we have financing options. Reach out to us at sales@aeonrv.com for details.
Congrats! It would be nice if a 20 ft long (bumper to bumper) is added to your design mix. Thank You!
Noted!
Do you have any additional structure framing for the box? Hard to imagine the foam panels being strong enough on their own.
FRPs are very strong. The box is held together at the edges using fiberglass pultrusions that are also incredibly strong. Finally, the cabinetry is designed to give extra support to the box, like a rollbar. Overall the box is much stronger than a typical RV built with an aluminum frame.
Very brave to start building these in terrible market
Thanks, we do have a 1.5 year backlog.
@@aeonrv touché!
Nice info;I wonder what you're selling here? Show a finished product at the beginning?
This is a tour of our facility. We have other videos that show the product.
Ah, wood cabinets. A deal breaker. Why not HDPE?? It doesn't swell, squeak or fail.

Do u mean when it's busy with a lot of noise? lol DUALLY wheels don't make it look hard. It makes it look heavy. haha ;)

@@aeonrv I appreciate the breakdown. Thank you so much.
