    It's always interesting to see all the different RV production facilities. We have been lucky enough to tour Newell, Newmar, and Triple E. Everyone has a different process and claim to fame. It's crazy to think Fleetwood can spec and install a chassis bridge to meet those tolerances and make multiple lengths out of the same Freightliner chassis. I heard about that in Freightliner school but have never seen it done! Thanks for sharing.

    There is no RV on the market that can be better then a Prevost conversion RV. This is a testament to the quality of Prevost. This is one of the biggest reasons you see so many NON Prevost motor homes for sale after about two years. Remember a Prevost Motor home conversion chassis is guaranteed for 1 million miles and the engine brake in is 60k miles, So if your paying 2 million dollars and up for anything less than a Prevost conversion then your buying garbage

    • @fuelyourwander
      @fuelyourwander  27 дней назад

      Sure, but every car on the road is garbage outside of a Bugatti, which is also custom/hand built and costs about the same as a Prevost. Most people cannot afford a custom built car or a custom built RV. I love the Prevost chassis (and Bugatti) but they are not affordable to the average person.

      I dont know much about the roadmaster. We have been happy with our engine and chassis - although we have two issues with our fan-clutch-gearbox - but overall it has been a great ride, easy to drive, very quiet.

    I have my serious doubts about their overall quality. For instance, the plumbing they install with improper clamps and faulty connections leading to leaks that can be impossible to fix. Poor quality air conditioners. Siding issues. The examples go on and on and frankly have me very scared of buying a new RV from any manufacturer.

    • @fuelyourwander
      @fuelyourwander  Месяц назад

      When humans are involved it’s never going to be perfect. We have been very happy with our American Coach, yet it’s not perfect and we have had a breakdown and some warranty work done. However, American Coach and Freightliner have stood by the warranty 100%. They are very complex vehicles, more complex than people appreciate given that they are a home on wheels repeatedly going through earthquakes every time they are driven.

      It is luxury for the money. It’s all relative. Sure you can buy a $3M coach and sure it will be nicer, but these are reasonably priced and quality for money.

    RV construction as a whole is trash. I've been through a major RV factory and the actual construction of these RV's is total garbage. Several hundred thousand dollars or millions of dollars spent on a motor coach and every year the owners spend several days having warranty work done or non-warranty work done. I know dozens of RV'ers that tell me every time the subject comes up that they wish they knew then what they know now about the after sale cost of owning a high end RV. Money Pit comes to mind. Living on the road is exciting, but the house on wheels is totally over-rated. The sales pitch is oddly reminiscent to a time share presentation. Similarly, the end result is the same. A so-called "investment" that you can't get out of once you're suckered into it.

    • @fuelyourwander
      @fuelyourwander  Месяц назад +6

      Anyone that buys an RV as a financial investment is simply not paying attention. An RV is a vehicle, a very complex vehicle. What other vehicles (other than antiques, classics, or unique sport cars) do people buy as an investment? Autos, trucks, farm equipment, airplanes, boats - they are all the same, depreciating assets that are utilized for business or for pleasure, not for financial investments.
