"Luxury" motor homes, are more like matchbox motor homes. No structural frame, or any type of safety/security body. It's built to last as long as caulk holding it together.
They are incredible solid. You can see some of them after 30 years and more still driving around. It's a clever construction where even the closet and bathroom walls play a part in the stability. Overall it makes these vehicles a lot lighter than comparable ones made in the USA. We in Europe are eager to save energy by lightweight construction. Fibreglass and XPS foam are very rigid, the metal frame at the bottom is very strong. Not easily being realized by laymen, though.
@HolgerJakobs These are a death box on wheels. Have you ever witnessed an rv accident? The engineering technology exists to build them light and safe. However rv companies are well known for building cheap, leak prone, and dangerous vehicles. Profitability is important, but cutting corners and safety be damned, shouldn't be acceptable. More competition is needed in this market.

Back in 1998-2000 I worked at a large Recreational Vehicle Facility that hand built the frames and suspension for their 60' diesel motor homes. Everything was built within 3 miles from the main assembly line. Engines, Transmissions, and the sort were delivered right off the railway.

Although I would prefer to see more structural elements included in the construction of the motorhomes, I wish the American manufacturers took the time and effort to construct our motorhomes with thd quality they used to have and reduc the prices significantly. Today there is too much corporate greed while forgetting the quality in the American MotorHome industry!
The report is several years old, as can be seen by the COVID masks worn by the workers. Therefore, all prices meant are about 30 per cent too low. The original report was in German, but has been nicely translated.

22:46 Come to America and drive a huge motorhome RV whatever you want to call it All you need is a regular class D license with no endorsements Also I kind of wish tiffin motorhomes would take a page out of these guys book Because buddy of mine bought I don't know a 400,000 motorhome over 2 years ago And they still haven't fixed a damn leak in the roof And tiffin has had it over 6 months now And it's been parked in the same place my buddy parked it when he dropped it off
these specific RV's are not luxury RV's. these are mass produced bargain basement RV's. the exact f'ing opposite of luxury...these are consumer goods. They're built on a FIAT, for crying out loud, the 3rd largest economy car company in the world. luxury RV's are custom built and have actual luxury finishes and construction...not plastic and glue. real wood, real metal, real chrome, real veneers... alloy frames for the body, commercial grade chassis, brakes, and drivetrain...that sort of thing.
True. If you want real high-end motorhomes, look for Volkner in Wuppertal. "Volkner-Mobil | Reisemobile der Extraklasse". They cost at least a million € as opposed to the price of the Knaus shown here for less than 200.000€.
Still, the Knaus RVs are very durable and solid. It's a lot of engineering put into the construction, saving weight without compromising stability. We in Europe are eager to save energy.

A hundred thousand euro. That's cute. Look up American "class A" luxury motorhomes. You might be lucky to find one for that price, second hand. Most are 3-5 times as much. Washer and dryer, full kitchen, garage, fireplace. Not uncommon for them to weigh 12-15 tons.
@fookdatchit 4 years ago is old? I'm not talking about prices last week. Class A's have been that expensive for a while now. The "luxury" stuff in thr film is commonplace. Hell, my 33 foot tow behind has everything but the motorized TV.
there are 2 things that i don't like: - it is powered by a diesel engine. it should be fully electric. - the gas cooker. gas is the worst, least efficient way of cooking. i'd go for induction. oh, and solar panels on the roof (and on the outside walls?) wouldn't hurt either.
@@rbhe357 who said anything about "Leaving civilization"? besides, the future is electric, even though the USA is about to make a bunch of big steps back into the dark ages.
@mrxmry3264 Spoken like a propagandist who is out of touch with the US and have different views on where to take an RV. Where I go is 90 miles from the closest small town. No mobile coverage either. That is not uncommon in much if the US. If you ever want to leave the city it is very much not the near future.
Adhesive sealant is main ingredient in building this RV

In SriLanka the price is 500% times more high

driving around in a fiat with ikea furniture isn't my idea of vacationing
Looks like a Death Trap 😂
You'd think at the very least they'd put a roll cage in the cab and the seating area where those added belts are near the dinette.
No safety considerations anywhere.

To travel I need a vehicle, a camp bed, a sleeping bag, a gas stove and a few steel casseroles & thermos...and of course some money :)))
❤ i want one in America 😊
The forklift would wreck havoc on one of these! Flymsy frames and thin side walls.
yeah! No structural framing got me wondering if it wouldn't wobble while in motion....
A motor home is basically a caravan on a powered ladder chassis, structurally it is not designed for strength.

I had no idea they were so complicated! Wires, tubes, pipes, oh boy.

Cheap plastic, plywood, chipboard & glue oh including a Fiat all charged for at ripoff prices

😂😂😂 I see this long time
American RV builders should go here to take notes.!!!
Should they also use three exclamation points in addition to the period at the end of the sentence?
@ yes they should. Must be a liberal teacher.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@mikewarbin5776 A liberal teacher? Tf does that mean? You need help.
If you don't understand tells the whole story.
The stink of all that glue and fibreglass will take years to fume off. When it finally does the whole thing falls apart.

Come to America and drive a huge motorhome
RV whatever you want to call it
All you need is a regular class D license with no endorsements
Also I kind of wish tiffin motorhomes would take a page out of these guys book
Because buddy of mine bought I don't know a 400,000 motorhome over 2 years ago
And they still haven't fixed a damn leak in the roof
And tiffin has had it over 6 months now
And it's been parked in the same place my buddy parked it when he dropped it off

I like it! But the design of the external wall heating! Repair cost suck and who wants to smell coolant! Come on, that's a turd man!
Old motor homes used to be built right. New ones are all glue and Chinese

Also, this channel is engineering, don't use words like 'plastic'. Be specific.

Over priced as usual, wait for China to unveil its, low price with high end extra features
And ready to fall apart after it leaves the Factory.
