He seems to know all of his employees by name. That isn't a small company and knowing every name is huge, plus his staff seem quite relaxed as bossman shows up so that usually indicates a very good place to work 😊
Great Tour. My wife and I looked at and walked through a 310RL this past Saturday (05/22/2021) and if the good lord's willing and the creek don't rise we'll be placing and order for one in the next month or so. I've worked in both the commercial and military aircraft production environments and Alliance seems to have all their stuff in one sock. Looking forward to potentially joining the Alliance family soon...
Family owned, made in the USA....quality control can never be ignored.....! Team work is ever so important! Impressed that the owners are active from the front door to the back door!
I loved it when he said " this is someone's dream we are building" just shows how much they care about the build quality for their customers. 👍
I love that the workers aren’t running around like crazy people trying to get as many RV’s done in one day as possible. Lots of attention to detail!
Thanks for doing factory tours like this, Matt. Seeing is believing!! Alliance is an American family business where all employees genuinely appear to be part of their Alliance family. Company values are reflected in product quality and in the relationship with customers across the experience lifecycle. It’s as simple as the golden rule.
Neat and tidy wiring. Thank God. I have no idea why other manufacturers can’t get this right. Looks like a great company.
Just went to the Hershey camping show. Loved the new Alliance 5th wheel. We bought one and so did our friends. Can't wait to use it. Thank you to all the people working there.
Impressive presentation, new Valor 36V11 owner since August 21-- Could not be happier, a few issues but with the help of Rob Boyer and Michelle all were addressed. Alliance more than willing to send parts needed to repair-being handy I've been able to do every thing needed except floor vinyl repair myself. Not ONE moment of buyers remorse, pretty hefty price tag but worth every penny--Thanks Alliance, Rob & Michelle
I LOVE these 5th Wheels, I can't wait for the day that I have the money to get 1. Love the involvement of the company owners.
I just wanted to tell Alliance that y'all sure enough makes some nice rvs. best of luck as a company.
Husband and i know we will be purchasing one. Can not wait!
This is a very impressive company! They want to get it right by the customer and the number of inspections and post production inspections should give customers the sense that this company cares about the final product! I truly love their floor plans and the MP model is ingenious! If I were in the market this would be my choice hands down! Thanks to Ryan for the tour and to you Matt and Will for bringing it to us! 👍 Great work!!
I really enjoyed the tour and the fact that Ryan takes the time to say hello to staff just shows how much he cares about his staff!! Ryan's interaction with his team I feel that brings loyalty and spills over to a better product. We have already watched I think all your videos on Alliance and you all did a great job!!! Wow! Quality RV's for sure!!
Thanks to Ryan and Matt for taking the time to show us the factory and operation. It's obvious that the owners are committed to making a great product. Thank you!! And Wull...hope you got that stuff off your fingers! 😃
If you are serious about great A/C, please go to an electronic inverter type multi-zone mini-split heat pump with multiple flush mount air handlers. These are surprisingly inexpensive, they far more efficient with SEER's up to about 25, they handle cooling AND HEATING without propane, they are far quieter, and longer lasting. They have no plastic on the roof to crack in the sun or cause leaks, or hit low hanging branches or overhangs or overpasses :-) or rob fuel economy while towing. Your big 5th wheel RV's have plenty of room underneath the floor to place and duct the "outdoor" unit. AND, there is no startup surge so you can use a smaller generator and/or inverter, and less strain on the whole power system. Its all a better experience for the customer, for the neighbors, and better for the planet. Please consider this! Also, upgrade your fiberglass insulation to foam. Foam has twice the R value which also contributes to lower AC operating costs and less pollution overall. These big RV's sit in the sun and suck electricity. Again, please take these two steps toward lowering operating costs and improving sustainability of these huge RV's. Alliance, you want to stand out and move the industry forward. This will do it.
Enjoyed viewing since had no clue how they were made. Nice to know they listen to customers suggestions.
Good video I really like this kind of video I'm a retired Residential contractor I really enjoyed the video thanks
"Ah" Is definitely the first word Ryan learned...
Literally ends every sentence with "Ah" 😆
Seems like a great guy. 👍🏽
Interesting but manufacturing floor could use some decluttering and organized.... inventory components... I see safety issues too ... I understand getting product thru tho... just my thoughts
Biggest concern I would have for the entire segment as a product is as a fire hazard. Seems very intuitive as a production system but if you're big into Factory Design as say Tesla is absolutely you can go full on Henry Ford if you like.
Ho man such a awesome place , I can't believe they push that unit by hand . Just listen to him talk about his produce you want to go out and get one . But I have another company 5th wheel we like it , but Alliance are just something else it will be our dream unit .
Great video, I love to see "how it's made" for RVs, sorry I'm late to see this one. I've had friends through the years overload their camper, and/or overload their tow vehicle and it's always a disaster. One of the things I wish manufacturers could invent, is a digital scale built into the camper, where an owner can check the weight of their rig before hitting the road. I always suggest that friends load up their campers to their "expected" weight, then go have it weighed, to see how close they are to the original manufacturer's limits. I would never carry more than 10 gallons of fresh water down the road, and always dump my black/grey water before traveling. Any extra water in the rig, just takes MPGs off your tow vehicle.
Yay, marine grade decking. I sure wish a lot of other camper companies used anything BUT chip fiber board. 20 years later, chip fiber board floors often are mushy and need to be replaced. Yay, he said, "eliminate carpet", I'm 100% down for that. If I want carpet, I can add it later.
Awesome to see the various step through of the campers being built. Loved looking down into the tops of the campers that haven't gotten their tops on yet. Very cool to watch them move the campers sideways, by hand. I really enjoyed the tour, thanks Matt and Will (keep your fingers out of the goo).
What a great operation. I like the involvement from the entire staff to make these units. Pride in ownership of each unit produced.
Thank Matt and Will loved the video on how they make these Fifth wheels. I love fifth wheels. That one you were I with office like that was a nice design/ floor plan. Really nice colors too. Thank you so much for that factory. A lot of hard work goes into making the fifth wheels.
Sherri
Very cool to see how they are made. Would like to see more videos like this
Fascinating tour! Thanks for giving us a behind the scenes look see!
5TH WHEELS ARE BEAUTIFUL..NERVOUS ABOUT TOWING ONE! NICE TOUR MATT!👍INFORMATIVE!
As I watch this on my phone at work 😂 but in my job it’s not all work for 24 hours.
Looks like good QC and a well built product. I’m impressed with his words about his employees. Terms like team and knows their names. He seems liked by the people who work for him. Too bad I don’t want a 5er.
You know I have bounced around from wanting a TT, 5th Wheel, Class A and Class C. This makes me want to reconsider a 5th Wheel. My only issue is Fifth Wheels are typically reasonably priced however, it's the tow vehicles that are way over priced. I'm sure with the length of these Alliance Fifth Wheels the average GVWR puts them into F350 - F450 and Dually range.
Overall, I think what I saw shows attention to excellence. I also loved how you have the Core Values on the wall.
Was looking at those. After seeing this video no way. Look how dirty that factory floor is. If they can’t clean the floor imaging how lazy they are with other stuff. Glad I saw this. Thanks for the review !
My guess is that they clean up each day at the end . They are working! I've never seen any construction site of any kind that doesn't have crap laying around during the work. Then it's cleaned at the end of the day. You're seeing pieces of siding, walls , cabinets etc that hit the floor as they are made and cuts are made. If they stopped to pick up every piece while working they'd never finish one. The owner doesn't strike me as the kind of man who would have a nasty factory and to me the floor looks fine. Also his employees seem to have a lot of pride also . To each his own opinion though 🌝
Weirdo
Weirdo
Have you taken any other tours? This floor is spotless compared th others.
Pink Doughnut You work for a competitor?
I LOVE the idea that employees are not allowed to bring their phones to the floor where they are working. EVERY place of business should have that rule.
What a great tour. Thanks guys.
Thanks so much for the great tour, we were going to get a bumper pull next year, but now we’ve decided to wait till Alliance’s is in production
This was great seeing how they are made👍
Good Video, What a super RV. Real empressive, Boss seems like a cool guy real good to see.
Great video documentary of this product! Great to see excellence in US manufacturing!
If Alliance stays with everything they say and do with quality control all the rest of the companies will have to step up their game. We stepped in the Paradigm 370FB yesterday in Danville at RV USA and the 370 is an Amazing Unit.
Great video, we took tour in July with Bill Martin. Really good looking units. We had our mask on for tour in July
Just bought mine this past Friday, dealer is doing inspection and testing, so I hope to be in it on this Friday! So excited! Alliance even matched a mil vet discount with the dealer, so I got extra off!
Love watching the factory tours.
I’m so impressed with this company. My husband and I are more TT folks, sometime next year they will start production of their Travel Trailers...we can’t wait. Top quality company, top notch staff & owners.
Very interesting 👌 thanks for the tour
I am super impressed with this company and the owners. It’s nice to see!
Great tour! Impressive product.
Great video
A company doing it the right way
They seem to understand they are building dreams
Great video! Looks like a great RV.
Incredible company.
Amazing tour! Thanks for sharing Matt!
Very informative tour. Lots of great information about how these 5th wheels are assembled. You both asked some great questions. Will keep your fingers off the wet caulk.. LOL.. Great job guy’s
Great tour guys! I love these factory tours. Very impressive company.
Rumor has it Will still has black fingertips to this day. Amazing tour guys!
Awesome video! Big thanks to Alliance RV for showing us start to finish - Wow!
This was a really neat tour!! Thank you for sharing
I'm totally impressed!
Really great video! Love Alliance. Great company with phenomenal attitude and attention to doing right for customers and it also seems to their employees as well. Good stuff!
Very impressive, especially the chassis, that's a beast..
Another fantastic video!! I just became a subscriber when I saw you doing Alliance. I'll be watching you regularly now.
Nice visit! Thanks!
As an rv tech ive been impressed with alliance , of course theres an issue here and there but alliance stands behind their product which is rare. Only one i recommend when people ask which brand is best
WOW, this is so awesome. We are quickly becoming huge Alliance fans. We might need to go check out the factory tour too.
I am not in the market for a fifth wheel. But rather for an RV. But I thoroughly enjoyed this video. You guys did a great job, and it looks for sure like alliance does a great job also. Thanks again.
Owners on the floor i love seeing that. Willing to hop in there to push a rv. Team work makes the dream work. Now only if i could find a rv floor plan with a washer dryer under the floor in a outside bay.🤔 that way when you are running it, it's quit inside.
Impressive. Thanks. Looking seriously at buying because of this video.
Matt; I’m liking these. Thank you for sharing the content. Unknown you will have the best price for us
I love absolutely everything about this company and its product!!! This is ALWAYS how it should be done in America. Quality products, quality assembly, quality team work, quality atmosphere, quality transparency and quality results. Now if we could just make it more affordable...but I understand.
Impressive tour. Really like this brand.
Thanks for sharing, impressive company and owners who obviously care about their employees. Only negative from this is the debris all over the flooring...
Matt, this is Excellant ,please do more tours...
I know we will be purchasing one of these hopefully sooner than later!!!
We're on our third camper. Tent camped since I was a kid. After getting married my wife and I went from a pop up to a toy hauler TT and now have a 42 ft heartland fifth wheel toy hauler. We really like our fuel 362 heartland but we recently discovered the alliance 42V13 and it checks off 98%of the boxes. We're hoping to pay ours off in 2 years and upgrade to the alliance. Love the factory and keep up the good work. Only thing on the 42V13 we would change is the loft. We would like to see it accessed from the garage not the kitchen. Otherwise it's our perfect camper.
great video guys
Sweet, this video answered a big question of mine. Did they use Simpson Strong Ties (or similar) with the wood roof? YES!!!!! Now if they could just bump up their game a notch and exercise the use of spray foam insulation. I, for one, would definitely pay extra for that. I am talking about doing it right with a rig set up, not a few bottles of "Great Stuff" expanding foam in a can. Love the extra effort, which is why I bought an Alliance, as well as their customer support.
Outstanding video and outstanding individual in my home state of Indiana!! I’m from Ft. Wayne!!
In a few years I plan on buying a fifth wheel toy hauler but I really like the toy boxes I hope they come out with one by then
Matt and his Co rv critic are the best for videos
Matt, I am NOT looking for this type RV, by any stretch. But your intro made me stay anyway!! I'm not doing 3 & 3 since this wouldn't be an option for me.
I hope to see you in Tampa in January!!
I can’t wait to buy ours!
Just bought mine excited to get it on Sat
Had a fifth wheel years ago and loved it. Was able to put the dogs in the back and had two way comunation from the trailer to the truck, so if I road in the back I could comuacate to my husband. What size truck would you need to pull this rig? Thanks for the wonderful job you are doing.
Man bro, I was just in Elkhart & Goshen over the weekend. Just came home, coulda met ya
Great video 👍
My favorite fifth wheel!
Thank you!
Great job … I think that I will change from a River Ranch to a Paradigm
I just went to general RV in Birch run to see an alliance, which we really thought was going to end up on our very short list of fifth wheels. All of these factory tours and the owners knowing people by their name was impressive but after touring a couple of units they are less than appealing. The staples on the ceiling were covered with some sort of a large blob of silicone so the ceiling looks like it had white blotches on it everywhere. It wasn't as noticeable with the white ceilings but one ceiling was a light tan color and you could see the blotches all over the ceiling . Many of the 45° corners were not lined up properly. The fabric on the bottom of the slide was bunched up on the right side. What really steered me away was the generator door on one unit; I had a hard time opening it and thought it was locked for a second but then realized it was so misaligned it was hard to open and when I went to close it I had to push the left side towards the right side because it was so misaligned. After I finally got it closed there was no gap on the left side and a large gap on the right side. After touring three, we were not impressed. So disappointing after watching the factory tours.
Hopefully they will see your comments here and address those issues.
Nice stuff
I have been looking for a 5th. Wheel for a long time. I'm extremely impressed with Alliance! I was going to get the 390MP but after watching this video I spotted the toyhauler. The new Valor looks like the perfect 5th. Wheel for me. Please tell me it will have a 13 foot garage! The 11 foot shown on the web site is to small for most 4 seat side by side's.
I would like to see a RV manufacture put hardware cloth down first on the entire chassis to RODENT PROOF the RV. There are so many increases for rodents to come in.
So true
Seam like they can make the TV and pop up hide away so you can have more counter space and hide the tv when not using it
Over years and various brands I’ve seen torn spring hangers, and inadequate support under tanks. Finally a company tries to improve…. Azdel isn’t likely to cure all delamination, but I’d expect it to help.
Overall I really like what I’m seeing from this company. Haven’t seen them certify something for below zero. Maybe that could be a next step.
One day I will one of these.
Great Video, Matt. I do have a question. Why don't they use a wall or separate compartment for the water works panel? Otherwise I was very impressed with how they build the fifth wheels.
Well fine. My wife told me were getting one
I just want to know when they are going to get into the Class A business... they would own it!
a question, I have seen some manufactures will slide wood inside the tubing for additional fastening strength. Why do they not do such? Maybe they do not mechanical fasten any of the tubing but only weld?
I'm in the market for a full time luxury 5th toy hauler with a minimum 3" wall. Currently there are less than a handful of manufactures that provide that but none meet the quality control standards that I see in Alliance. Hopefully some day before I die I have one that wasn't made by an Indy pit crew!
I think lots of RV companies start out this way, small factory, smaller number of employees and so forth but along the line they get caught up in adding more units, more floor plans, less hands on to get the units out the door. It would like to know what RV companies pay their employees an hourly wage rather than by the piece. Quality really seems to slip when piece work is done. Thats why RV companies are trying to focus on a better customer service department because they understand most units are flying out of the factory. Sure, you can a PDI facility and if that's the case, why do so many units get to the customer with so many problems?
I like this company very much. A question though. If someone purchased a unit from Alliance, can they arrange for factory delivery or does the dealer have to provide the delivery point?
My husband is in the military and we need a home that can PCS with us. We have moved on average every year and I don't see us slowing down for a long time.
I'm just really curious about the customization options.
I guess that means I'm just going to have to give them a holler tomorrow.
Looks like a great new company trying to do things the right way. If you took a shot every time this guy said him uhh! you’d be dead.
