I've heard so many stories of how dishonest RV dealers are. They make car salesmen look down right holy. The industry as a whole is very bad.

I bought a 1997 van and seven years later of living in it full time still going strong.

Never, ever tell the dealer or the manufacturer you are living in it full time OR imply you are. It's an easy out for them to void warranties and covered repairs.

My daughter bought a newFifth Wheel back in 2021, the shake down brought Out a couple of issues but she drove it south to Florida where she was able to find a place privately owned with 10 acres of land where others also lived. She has a beautiful place to park without being on top of another trailer. For $500 a month she has 💦 electricity ⚡️ and sewer. She sold her truck 🛻 and got a 🚗 new. There’s been issues with the awning and frig but for the most part it has been working out for her.

Great info! Back in 2019 our family of 5 lost our home of 14yrs. Basically we were homeless. Stayed in some motels, friends house, etc. Bought an old 1984 Honey with the cash we had saved and lived in that for 3.5yrs. With the number of folks losing homes, and resorting to the rv living it became very challenging at times to find a campground. My husband and son both worked locally so we were limited to a 20 mile radius. Between storage cost for our household items, gas and the ever rising cost of campsites, we were paying out on average $1400 a month to live cramped in an old rv. Not to mention the stress of moving it and praying we wouldn’t break down! Also many people don’t realize that if your rig is older than 10yrs, some rv parks will not allow you to stay longer than a 10day period on average. Even if it was a half million dollar 20yo rig.

This video is SPOT ON. We’re in month 4 of ongoing problems with our new $135K Thor Tiburon. I think our dealer did ZERO on the inspection it seemed to me like it was the first time they went in the RV. Every system failed so we had repairs done immediately +1 month waiting. Then we took home the RV - our solar also was not connected to the battery, our awning snapped. Now we’re on month 4 and the Rv is still at the dealership waiting for approvals from Thor, baking in the sun. Great video. Hire your own inspector!!!

The one thing I learned you buy an expensive RV drive it off a lot and it’s only worth half what you paid for it great video. Lots of great information. Take care. Be careful.

Used a tent for over 40 years. Never any warranty issues. Never any break down issues. Just a new tent from time to time. 😁

Saw a report that taking sea cruises is cheapest way to live, Personally, you wont catch me on one of those floating petri dishes.

Excellent video. Thanks! Never thought to hire an inspector to buy a new RV. Another tip for your viewers is not to rush the process and to make certain that all systems are shown to you; bring a notebook and take notes! Finding the sweet spot between talking yourself out of trying something new and bold... and rushing in. Ah yes. These YT videos really help. Godspeed!

My father would start his generator every month to keep the parts oiled, but when they went camping the generator wouldn't run the ac, refrigerator etc. He took it to the mechanic who told him during the monthly start up to run the ac to give the generator something to do. I still have his 84 motorhome and the generator works flawlessly.

The inspection is confidential and the results are ‘top secret’ 😂😂😂

I never buy a brand new camper.I purchase a RV that is around 3 years old, because the problems have been fixed by the person who purchased it brand new,

I have a friend who buys old Prevost RV’s and refurbishes them. We met him at a campground one time while he was staying in one of his RV’s. At one point, he paused and said, “listen!”…….”do you hear that?”………”something is breaking in my RV”

I have a $150,000 rv. I am fixing things constantly Sinks leaks because the manufacturer didn't put gaskets. I've had sliding doors fall off, a slide jam, etc.

2.5 years in a 100, 000 -29 foot motorhome. Bought it new. Always breaking down, hard to get in for repairs. Wasnt comfortable, glad I sold it.

You two did a great job. Well done. We have had ours now almost 8 years. Clubs have made a big difference on how often we use it and we’re a great way to meet new folks. When we bought ours were spent a few hours in models we were thinking about. Just sitting in there makes a difference on how well the layout feels and works for you. Stand in the shower, sit on the thrown, lay on the bed. This quickly eliminated models that were great on paper, but did not pass the sit test. One model we found I couldn’t even move in the shower. That would have been bad. Another we felt like we were sitting in a cave when we were on the sofa. Give em a test sit, and not for 5 minutes!

That’s why I walked away buying RV. don’t need more headaches and frustration in my life. Easy way for us, Fly to distention, Rent a car, Staying in the Hotel. Then sightseeing. Easy Peasy.

This is a great video, What kills me …is if you spent this kind of money on a car would you be treated this way…no….keep up the quality content :)
