Hey Blue Ox! What's up with RUclips? Another time I wasn't notified that you dropped another video. And yes I have notifications on for your channel. I love what you do for all of us that watch you guys. Smart people will always get an inspection. Otherwise you really don't know what you're buying. Almost no dealerships are honest and treat their customers right. Another one that wasn't inspected at the manufacturer or the dealer but I bet they were charged for it. Want to make a dealership sing? Tell them if you really inspected the unit then nothing will be found but if they do find stuff you take off the cost of your inspection. That will make them run backwards so fast it will be like they weren't ever their.
🤣🤣 right? I don't know what's going on with YT...a lot of weird things is going on. From no notifications, unsubscribed people, no traction in algorithm...they probably have their own financial reasons ?
In Ohio in my back yard the eclipse was great . But I drove to sweet water Tennessee in in 2017 for that one .. camped in my rv on a back road .. love my 20 year old Winnebago. Class a .. this new stuff is like wtf !
So those that complain about the inspection cost, just need to watch how many people walk away from their deal or the nightmare, after you complete your inspection or sometimes by Noon!
C4bo. I noticed something odd. The countertop orientation. The raised portion pattern went one way and the lower part the other way. Minor but would bug me. I also dislike grained wood mismatch. Rock on!
What about something protruding on the outside wall you mentioned in the beginning? We never heard any more about it. I’d be concerned about a future crack? Was it anything to be concerned about?
Like I said, nothing we can state as problematic inherent fact...just tell tale for me to dig more into the overall possibility of mishaps from manufacturing day.
We are in Southern Missouri. Sat on our driveway with our darling young granddaughters with our glasses on and enjoyed the full eclipse. It got grey out not dark and felt cooler, but 30 minutes south in Branson it was dark. Our daughter was down there. All in all it was a memorable day for sure. Love your video’s and your attention to every detail……
Our son lives in Fleming Island by Jacksonville and he said the same thing. I hope the other Manufacturers slow down and build better RVs. With your help I think it puts them on notice.
With your inspections the folks always get their useful information to use how they wish. Some will go forward with the purchase and others not, but you always lay out the truth for them to decide. Another great video. Glad to see a well built, almost!
Does this Cougar use BAL Accu-slide or BAL Exact-slide mechanism? Rigor RV Repair hates Accu-slides. What's your take on these two different cable slide technologies?
We saw the eclipse in my front yard in Massachusetts had 93% totality, unlike you guys who give us 100% all the time. Did the buyers get the slide fixed?
Your RV is a home on wheels, why wouldn't you pay to get it inspected like you home. I mean you can get one done for $500 bucks but is it any good? Did they really check everything? What's in included in that price? Is your home inspector going to say something like "Oh I don't inspect chimneys or pools you will have to hire another guy for that" Each of those guys is 500 bucks too! $1500 bucks and interviewing your inspector is well worth it. I would rather hire someone like Blue Ox who is going top to bottom, inside and out, down to pulling engine oil samples for testing as an entire package deal vs trying to hire 3 people to do all of it. In the end hiring those 3 at $500 is the same $1500 and way more hassle of scheduling 3 people! Who knows if they will catch everything. The engine inspector could see something that Body inspector didn't see but thinks "Oh that's part of the others guys inspection I don't need to report it" The customer is the one left suffering.
You know I don’t know why people don’t get inspections, they will pay for $12 coffee but not something that will save them thousands? Goofy Are you thinking about doing a video on products you should never add to your RV for us non RV folk? Thanks for your videos it’s given me extra pause when I look at rigs now..
Every issue with an RV seems to cost $1,000! If you prevent 1-2 problems, it's break even or better! As many problems as you guys seem to find on any inspection, even if it's "warranty" stuff, the time , inconvenience, downtime, and expense it saves should justify it. Lots of the stuff you guys find, probably wouldn't become apparent to most people until after the warranty expires!
@@blueoxontherun9188 You have to stay within your wheelhouse. Just had this conversation with a friend tonight. You can be the smartest doctor or scientist in the world and sound like a complete idiot in a room full of mechanics (and vice versa of course). I’m an engineer/machinist/mechanic type, and have done pretty well inspecting stuff for myself, and paid for the stuff I missed by having to fix it myself. I so much appreciate what you and others do and try to do the same by sharing what I have learned.
IMHO, people who don't go for an independent RV inspection, tend to think it's a new unit (what could be wrong?) , the dealer is already charging 1K for a PDI and I trust they will fix whatever they find.........so why do I need to pay twice for the same inspection? Only later do the see the error of their ways, and by then it is too late. BTW, Johnny's eclipse shot got my attention.
Some people are smartening up...they do not accept the fees from the dealership's inspection and request BOE inspection. We will buy, contingent to our RV Inspection team report. Smart dealerships actually prefer our report, as the issues to be fixed are logged in and already figured out 🙄. Lesson that consumers will learn slowly but surely. BTW now I know what discipline you used to study and teach...x-ray vision 🙂
This is a really good one, thanks again 🙂🎉
Dover Tampa! A new vacation destination! 😊
A lot of motel on wheels for sale there 🤣
Love your videos.
Thank you for your appreciation 🙏
Wowzer!!!!!

Right ??
Eclipse? Not in Duluth, MN😂 Just another dreary, foggy day here. Good video. I haven't really looked at the Cougar models before.
Me neither 😁
Brunswick,GA. Great inspection as always and I’m still looking. Looking like you were at CW brave buyers right there!
Right??
@@blueoxontherun9188 the last place I would go to. Right?
Watched the eclipse at the beautiful Ferne Clyfe State Park, Illinois, with my son and daughter-in-law. 🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘
So those that complain about the inspection cost, just need to watch how many people walk away from their deal or the nightmare, after you complete your inspection or sometimes by Noon!
Right??
Someone was telling me lately how many millions dollars of money pits we avoided for customers 😒 right?
We are in SE Michigan, Southeast Michigan got to see 99% of a total eclipse during its peak coverage.
Wow...we had nothing changed really 😕
I have a 2021 keystone cougar 30RLS never had a problem.....They been around for years....Thank you Great video.....
They most have a consistent production line for sure! Lets hope it last 😉😊

You're a car fanatic it shows 🤣🤣🤣 streamline , it's all about the lines 😉

Wow.i know the buyer is going to be happy😅
I hope you still are 😁🙃
Nice trailer you guys but I’m not a big fan of the cable driven slides
Hey! They're trying everything as some people hate in-wall motor(schwintek)

Well nice to hear you had a good time!
It stayed as normal daylight down in Tampa 🙂

Hey! If we can create a ripple..it would be great 😉
Do you have a link to the light tester you said Bruce makes/sells. Thanks in advance.
Send a message through our website. We'll contact you!

Nice rig! About time they started to build them right again!
Reasonable price for piece of mind. BTW, 8.75% sales tax in central NY. Taxes, politics, weather, we can’t wait to get out of NY state.
😁🤣
Love the video, thank you so much for sharing the extra information on what you guys do with tools and the detail inspections that get done!
We're trying to take time to get you involved 🙂
Forest River or Keystone? Which has the best quality?
Constantly inconsistent 🙄
C4BO!!!

Exactly 💯 they now have the tools to make an educated decision 😉
No free Refills! lol. What is it about the showers!
I think they all missed "shower sealant 101" 🤣

Does this Cougar use BAL Accu-slide or BAL Exact-slide mechanism? Rigor RV Repair hates Accu-slides. What's your take on these two different cable slide technologies?
I honestly don't have any position on either one of them as I do not get to repair them 😉😁...
Does the cougar come with a cement pad mattress or xtra xtra firm slumber mattress ? Just saying 😊
🤣🤣
👋🙂
My husband and I were watching the eclipse from our balcony in Pennsylvania
Thanks for replying to me on your website for an inspector. This video was saved.
We saw the eclipse in my front yard in Massachusetts had 93% totality, unlike you guys who give us 100% all the time. Did the buyers get the slide fixed?
Next time we follow up 🙂
Inside, at the gym. I'd have the minor issues (including the slide) fixed before taking ownership.
Another nice fine cubo
Maine. Total eclipse was awesome.
Cool 😎
Port Charlotte Florida I love your videos they are very informative
Well thanks for chiming in 🤙
🌑 Solar eclipse, or not, never being left in the dark with these guys watching your back.😎
Thank you 😊
Nice unit. If they can fix the bulb seal then it’s good!
We were outside in upstate ny when it got dark and then it it was day light again.
Most interesting 🤔
Another great video
C4BO
I was in west MI during eclipse . . . Only partial here but all the birds & critters got silent for almost an hour . . . They know . . .
I was in Endwell NY, cloud cover, saw nothing :( C4BO

Burr.....little nippy out by the end of the video
During the eclipse I was taking a nap
Never got dark here.
I would rather spend $1,500 than to lose $78,000
Right?? There's a lot of unaware or uneducated people out there 🙄
