In this episode, we detail all the problems we encountered purchasing and traveling in our 2018 American Coach American Eagle 45A Diesel Pusher Motorhome.
As an owner of a simple 2015 Jayco Precept 29UM bought brand new (cheap Ford V10 A class gas motorhome), I never realized how fortunate I have been to have a trouble free coach that has worked reliably trip after trip. I will never envy you guys with your fancy diesel pushers ever again.
Hi Guys, South Carolina here. Just binge watched all 7 videos. I feel your pain. My wife and I also have a class A diesel pusher home on wheels in which to throw money at....lol. Anyways almost $290,000 and 6 years later i'm told it will be another $36,000 to re-skin and paint the coach due to delamination! oh well, I say it will probably be better to just keep her than to start over....You guys are a beautiful couple. Love your videos. Keep them coming.
All I can say is WOW!! Your channel name is so appropriate. Can’t wait to see more of your “adventures”. 🤔 Maybe I should rethink this whole full time RV thing.
I have watched all your videos and I am so impressed you are not furious as I would not be able to keep it together at this point. I have to admit I have an older (2003) Tiffin Allegro Bus and it is nowhere near as nice as your coach but it is reliable. Wish you better luck in your next coach as I sure hope you chagne manufacturers.
I sympathize with you. I have had nothing but constant repairs since I purchased my motor home. I am getting back into boating. Never had issues with my 42 foot trawler.
That is absoutely stunning, the rv is ok too. To bad it didn't work out. I've watched a few of your vids and decided I'd stay in hotels on my travels. I would have had that company in court.
DAMMMN!!! If it wasn't for bad luck you folks wouldn't have any luck at all. You guys have a great attitude. I lived in Houston and can absolutely believe brick off the overpass. Usually its semi 's they target.
You guys are living a horror story. I really feel for you guys. God willing you’ll get out of that coach and into a trouble free one. Good luck and stay healthy. 🙏🏻
Wow, just happened upon your story about your RV purchase. So sad how so many dealerships are complete liars, they promise the world then leave the buyer hanging. Years ago I purchased a new RV from a local crappy dealership, ended up dealing directly with Fleetwood/REV group Due to the incompetence of my local dealer. For me REV/Fleetwood was excellent to deal with. Yes it does take time when at their shop however every tech that I worked with as well as the service reps were all excellent. Presently RV shopping for another Fleetwood product for that reason. Hopefully you will have a similar experience
Wow!!! that's just terrible. We've had our vintage Airstream for about 15 years now and we are the second owners. I will never sell it or trade it we are just blessed to have started with something we can finish with.
Wow! We own (and live in) our 2017 Eagle Heritage Edition coach and I must say we have had nearly the exact same list of issues and learning curve that you have been through! It’s incredible how much you have to learn the tricks and tips for all systems and no one can explain any of them to you. We love our coach but definitely understand your exact frustrations! Thanks for your video. We are now subscribed!
What a series of one bad luck issue after another! Half way through the video with each incident I was like OMG, OMG, OMG, WTF!! This was almost like a movie! The only thing missing while driving to the dealership, "hey honey, our luck has been so bad on this, all we need now is an overturned broccoli truck that prevents us from getting to the dealer." As you both laugh at the humorous absurdity. One mile later: "Hey, what's that? Is that an overturned broccoli truck in the middle of the road??" I hope things have gotten better for you guys!!
You are the irritated travelers, but after all that you have been through, I would have to say that you are the patient travelers! I would have given up long ago 🤣 I think this would make a great show on HGTV
Can't wait to see the video of the big tow truck towing the RV out of the RV park on Monday and to the Freightliner dealer to get the death light issue taken care of. Let us know how much that tow bill ends up being.
I googled what this is. First thing came jp wax the dealership these got it from , They still have this thing listed for $469,0000 , they've dropped 300k of the price. Don't know how when they have it
Maybe a yacht? being in FL. That’s what they call putting good money into bad. But if you have the big bucks it can be a tax write off depending on how the rig was registered. Renegade has the lowest problems in the industry. I think you both would be happy in an Icon. Not a diesel pusher not as high end as a bus but built tuff. A good extended warranty with 0 deductible. That’s the way I would do it with on-site service free towing while I’m in a five star hotel waiting to get back into my rig which includes putting me up in a hotel with my two German Shepherd doggies. Best of luck. Steve in NYC.
I feel so bad for you guys. I have a 2019 travel trailer and the quality is mediocre at best... But mine was only $20k. Did you ever consider a 5th wheel or a travel trailer?
Love u guys! What about videos about the daily check activities prior and during the driving? I also see you're good at cocktails... I'd also love a couple of how to videos...
I hope you learned your lesson on getting a Motor Home. You need to have it completely inspected and checked by a separate professional company from the seller, especially if you are remote from the MH's location. You can't trust any RV sales person or company. I hope you sued those guys.
The only way an inspection would have caught the leak is to drive it to FL and sit through a few big rainstorms. Probably why they were selling it in the desert!
It's obvious you two workout. How do you do it while on the road? I'm guessing you have a membership at a national 24 hour fitness franchise. Looking fit and amazing!
You guys are not meant to have a RV. Someone is telling you not to buy one. I shouldn't laugh but I thought those things only happened to me.. Good luck, I hope you will find one that works for you..
Usually they are good homes…looks nice. The old American Eagles seem more reliable. Newer does not always mean better. Why RV world is still in business is behind me
Not sure it would do any good to have a new coach inspected by a "professional". Unless an inspector completely tears down the RV, they really don't know what is truly wrong with it.
Good God! I would have gone batshit crazy by now with all the trouble you had with these two coaches! This is inexcusable the problems you have had with the latest coach. it's apparent that they did not do any prep work or go through the coach before you took possession of this thing. You're not living the dream you're living the NIGHTMARE! You would think when someone buys a Hi End coach the service would be excellent and gone over with a fine tooth comb before you take possession .
newbie mistakes!! Should have never taken delivery nor purchase. It's the ole snake oil I have to sell...and it will cure everything. Eeeesh!! You guys have a great sense of humor. But, usually money does. Merci
just watched this today realizing this is old, I guess I'll see what you guys ended up doing with this coach but, this dealer should have had their pants sued off foe their deceit
Sounds more like you guys were living the nightmare and not the dream. The takeaway I’m getting from your experiences that an attorney should be hired when purchasing a motor home. You guys should sue the crap out of that dealership.
Oh, this isn't good Mojo. The gods are working against you. Are you sure this desire of doing a road trip in a MotorHome is worth all of the trouble. So sorry for all of your frustration of dealing with questionable sales people. How do you keep smiling?
You didn't have a report made for insurance purposes (brick thrown from overpass)? Sounds like I'd be consulting an attorney about all of the money you've been out. For all of the money you paid for a nice ride, it seems to be a piece of junk. In all honesty, with all of the issues before you even took it from the lot, I would have walked away.
We love your RV and the much fun it’s bringing us...be safe, stay healthy.

The only person that pulls off a tank top! Wow! Simply gorgeous!
Wow, I don’t think I’d ever buy an RV after watching your videos!
You can buy one, just be prepared to fix it all the time!
Good luck with the factory. I wish you well!
This machine is gorgeous!
Very nice RV! Informative Video! Thank you!

my goodness. you guys are crazy patient. I can't believe you have had so many issues. I am sorry
Unbelievable events , admire your ability to grin ! don’t by a lottery ticket
From what I remember about my families Dodge motor home (mid to late 60’s) was the occasional flat tire. That RV was like a tank!
That is absoutely stunning, the rv is ok too. To bad it didn't work out. I've watched a few of your vids and decided I'd stay in hotels on my travels. I would have had that company in court.
DAMMMN!!! If it wasn't for bad luck you folks wouldn't have any luck at all. You guys have a great attitude.
I lived in Houston and can absolutely believe brick off the overpass. Usually its semi 's they target.
You are both very calm given this cluster f&*%!
A gallon of gas and full coverage insurance should take care of all the rv problems ! Good luck guys!
But if that motorhome runs on diesel, an arson inspector would most likely figure out that it was torched on purpose.
You guys are living a horror story. I really feel for you guys. God willing you’ll get out of that coach and into a trouble free one. Good luck and stay healthy. 🙏🏻
Well now I know to be a millionaire like you'all before purchasing an RV! My goodness!
Wow, just happened upon your story about your RV purchase. So sad how so many dealerships are complete liars, they promise the world then leave the buyer hanging.

That is why I do not want to buy Class A RV. Thank you for the videos.
You are an amazing couple I really like to watch you
Wow!!! that's just terrible. We've had our vintage Airstream for about 15 years now and we are the second owners. I will never sell it or trade it we are just blessed to have started with something we can finish with.

Full time RVrs here, gave you a follow. And on Twitter. Talk about bad luck lol.
What a series of one bad luck issue after another! Half way through the video with each incident I was like OMG, OMG, OMG, WTF!! This was almost like a movie!

Great vids, I guess misery does love company...I thought I had bad luck 🤣
Wow ❤
Can't wait to see the video of the big tow truck towing the RV out of the RV park on Monday and to the Freightliner dealer to get the death light issue taken care of. Let us know how much that tow bill ends up being.
BEAUTIFUL RIG

I feel so bad for you guys. I have a 2019 travel trailer and the quality is mediocre at best... But mine was only $20k. Did you ever consider a 5th wheel or a travel trailer?
Just started following you all. I think you all have a 🍋🥵.
Love u guys! What about videos about the daily check activities prior and during the driving? I also see you're good at cocktails... I'd also love a couple of how to videos...
Coming soon!
At least you guys found all this out for the next owner they will probably get in it and find 20 more problems tho
Why did u chose the same MH ? It looks like the parts that they use are not prime parts.
Sometimes things just go bad by setting in a parking lot. I seen it many times.
Crazy experience lol
I hope you learned your lesson on getting a Motor Home. You need to have it completely inspected and checked by a separate professional company from the seller, especially if you are remote from the MH's location. You can't trust any RV sales person or company. I hope you sued those guys.
The only way an inspection would have caught the leak is to drive it to FL and sit through a few big rainstorms. Probably why they were selling it in the desert!
Yes yes yes
I would be the Homicidal Traveler. You have far more patience than me
It's obvious you two workout. How do you do it while on the road? I'm guessing you have a membership at a national 24 hour fitness franchise. Looking fit and amazing!
We carry hand weights with us, run, walk, Do P90X whenever possible and watch our diet pretty closely.
Trust no one with your rv!! I do all the work on our fifth wheel!! Your motor coach sounds just like our fifth wheel purchase!!
omg..get that black cloud away from you...i feel for you hope everything works out ... been there and done that
Always use an independant RV inspector before buying a RV, new or used!
You guys are not meant to have a RV. Someone is telling you not to buy one. I shouldn't laugh but I thought those things only happened to me.. Good luck, I hope you will find one that works for you..
I got it, don't buy new or a dealer unit!!!! Thank U. Sorry for the BS you went through..
The RV is just gorgeous, but what a nightmare it turned out to be.
It's beautiful but are you gonna drive this or sit? This is the 18.000 RV omg live the dream mean the nitemare
Is this the one you have all the problems with omg 😅😳
Ok, I was starting to look at American Coaches....... maybe not anymore....
Wow, this sounds like an Amish built RV in Indiana? Plagued with problems!
Are you guys still RVing? My gosh
Yep, still at it but with far fewer problems.
Omg I would be so stressed out from all this I would literally be a basket case
Say no to class A's.Maybe check out a super c from IWS.
Usually they are good homes…looks nice. The old American Eagles seem more reliable. Newer does not always mean better.
Why RV world is still in business is behind me
One theme I noticed in these vids is that they never have these rv's inspected by a person they hire.
Not sure it would do any good to have a new coach inspected by a "professional". Unless an inspector completely tears down the RV, they really don't know what is truly wrong with it.
You actually are living the dream you have a beautiful wife
Good God! I would have gone batshit crazy by now with all the trouble you had with these two coaches! This is inexcusable the problems you have had with the latest coach. it's apparent that they did not do any prep work or go through the coach before you took possession of this thing. You're not living the dream you're living the NIGHTMARE! You would think when someone buys a Hi End coach the service would be excellent and gone over with a fine tooth comb before you take possession .
Lemon law should have been in affect since you were the first owner
Yeah, we didn't want to go through that again!
It’s crazy a manufacturer can get away with that crap! Karma will get them! Someday very soon I hope!!
Do other RV people have horror stories like you because you can't be that unlucky
Need to be a mechanic. At least y’all aren’t giving up.
The dream was more of a nightmare
newbie mistakes!! Should have never taken delivery nor purchase. It's the ole snake oil I have to sell...and it will cure everything. Eeeesh!! You guys have a great sense of humor. But, usually money does. Merci
They still gave this thing listed for $469,0000 , they've dropped 300k of the price
just watched this today realizing this is old, I guess I'll see what you guys ended up doing with this coach but, this dealer should have had their pants sued off foe their deceit
I would pin this lemon and find a 10 year old Liberty Coach. It would be way better and the company will stand behind it. Terrible.
I'd take it back then I'd sue the crap out of them
If it weren’t for bad luck, you guys would have no luck at all… sorry y’all have experienced all this. I’ve done it for 30+years.
Get your pilot's license and you'll see the world
Wow, you are fine people but much too trusting. Why not just get an RV from one of the companies that stand by their product. Good luck to you.
Sounds like they were trying to scam you from the beginning!!
You need a Winnie
Been there, done that!
I learned long ago....never buy any 'demonstrator vehicle'. Never, ever worth it.
Sounds more like you guys were living the nightmare and not the dream. The takeaway I’m getting from your experiences that an attorney should be hired when purchasing a motor home. You guys should sue the crap out of that dealership.
If ya buying a RV, go ahead & buy a wrecker to go with it......
You guys need to get something smaller, and less fancy.
Fancy = breaky
Broccoli the motor home didn’t last lomg
The broccoli spill was an omen.....GO HOME, GO HOME!
Oh, this isn't good Mojo. The gods are working against you. Are you sure this desire of doing a road trip in a MotorHome is worth all of the trouble. So sorry for all of your frustration of dealing with questionable sales people. How do you keep smiling?
You didn't have a report made for insurance purposes (brick thrown from overpass)? Sounds like I'd be consulting an attorney about all of the money you've been out. For all of the money you paid for a nice ride, it seems to be a piece of junk.
In all honesty, with all of the issues before you even took it from the lot, I would have walked away.
What a nightmare y'all have been having with RV's. Very discouraging.
Absolutely Horrendous disturbing and the funny part is MADE IN THE USA and Junk unreliability Rust chassis to the maxy max.
Ok only half way through this video. Do yourselves a favor and never ever buy a plane!!!😳😀👍🙏🙏👌👌
Motorcoaches seem to be a huge scam.
Disaster……..inexcusable.
well, I have learned three things from your your videos. I'll never buy a RV. You must be made of money and I would be in jail for assault.
Jesus. Christ.
Buy a Honda and stay in hotels.
Money pit
If I was you, I would get out of the RV business you have got screwed almost every day. You just got bad luck.
Give up!
After watching your troubles, I wouldn’t have one of those things if it were given to me.
