I love the new prototype with the Ember Track system, but hubby thinks it a wee bit too small. Looking forward to a slightly larger Ember. I am willing to pay the higher $$ for a bigger Ember. You get what you pay for and I am willing to pay for quality.
Ember is the future of RV’s. We have been dreaming about their campers from day 1 and we can’t wait to order our dream camper, ‘22+ Ember Overland 191msl. 😍It’s truly a game changer. We will be able to use it as retirees and empty nesters with dogs and also when we have our Grandson with us. It’s perfect 👌 Keep all those awesome ideas going Ember &Josh!! 👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻
these are such well made trailers.. I'm very impressed.. the one thing for me that is maddening for a higher end unit like this, is not having slam latches on the baggage or outside compartment doors.. I've had three trailers and they all had those twisty whatever locks they are, and without fail they always loosen or come apart and really are not stable at all.. i realize the doors are closing the opposite direction, but the slam latch should work the same way closing upwards.. but otherwise kudos to a great new brand with a quality build
I guess you’d better pick out the right floor plan because these things look like they’re built to last an eternity. What a beautifully tidy, organized factory.
I'm surprised they haven't moved this factory to Mexico, they could build the same thing at 30% of the labour cost, the expertise is there, they already build cars/suv's
Thanks for the tour Josh, and a HUGE thanks to Ember for allowing it. I believe you mentioned (if I remember correctly) in one of your first Ember vids, that they are some of the top industry folks who got together to create a new RV. They are definitely leading the way in quality over quantity, which is a rarity in this day and time. Unfortunately I don’t have the time to enjoy a camper right now, but when I do, believe me Ember is on the short list.
This factory tour is another great example of this channel's unique content! “Josh the RV Nerd” is the most informative channel while still keeping comical! Thanks to Ember, Bish’s & Josh for taking the time to check this out for us! I think a “how they are made” special would be super valuable in helping us newbies better understand the quality of the brand behind the scenes!! Thanks again for this awesome content Josh!
Very good built quality, there are a few things they are doing the same as the other guys but you can tell its better build quality. I liked seeing the aluminum angle around the floor around the tire to protect it in case of a blow out. One thing we use in our industry for nuts that are critical is prevailing torque nuts, no need to double nut the out riggers then. What i would recommend is using 2 bolts per outrigger and using a small aluminum plate. During the video it looked like some of the outriggers were over torqued and it was warping the floor material. If they were using 2 bolts per outrigger and using a aluminum flat bar to squish the floor material not only would it be stronger but it would reduce fatigue points. Awesome camper cant wait to see what they continue to build and the continued improvement.
Hi Josh - appreciate all of your coverage of the Ember. Try to convince Ember to move the propane tanks to the driver's side compartment of the front locker. That way you could easily get to the empty passenger side compartment from your campsite. Would love to store outdoor cooking stuff in there.
Those look like they are very well made! I’d like to see them expand into larger TTs and 5th wheels. Hopefully they’ll keep their current business model and not sell out to one of the big RV companies. That’s tends to make things worse because they want to cut corners and maximize profits. Another great video Nerd!
Glad to see the ember build process. These are very nice trailers. Makes me think of the Spartan trailers over the top build specification. One of the things which I noticed was the suspension sits in a specifically tailored pocket in the frame. It is not slapped onto the outside like virtually every other manufactures trailer. These also have a very robust construction throughout, bottom to top, front to back and even all the furnishings are stoutly built. A very very solid trailer. Nothing slap dash about these units. These are expensive and heavy trailers. However, the have earned their price point. I am very willing to bet these trailers will be very very expensive as old used trailers as well 10, 15, 30 years from now.
I love the new Ember with useful space. The one thing I wish they had was a bit bigger one with an oven. I am going to full time soon and that is kind of important. They are still high on my list even without that, but it would be a no-brainer if they did.
Really really liked seeing this video. Very glad to see the stabilizers finally come in and improvements like standard wiring harnesses. Great idea that Max solar can then be added afterwards. BIG SUGGESTION is to add nylon locking nuts to attach floor to frame. I have had to do this with every RV I have owned and manufacturers just need to do it at the start. Most factory tours make me worried about quality because their workers are running around so fast and crazy. This tour did the opposite. The pride and organization spoke volumes to the Ember Attitude. I really do hope my dealer in Truro Nova Scotia gets some Embers soon to look at. Really really impressed thanks Josh!
Thank you both for giving us an overview of RV construction. I love to see how much effort and quality they put into their builds. Josh, keep doing these videos so we, (the buying public), knows what to look for and have a knowledge of the product they are buying. For me, I tend to keep mine for long periods of time, (bought my Alpenlite brand new in 2004 and still have it today), so for my next purchase, I know exactly what I am getting.
The Embers are fantastic! I really like the no outside speakers. No need for them with blue tooth speakers. I have never seen an Ember I didnt like. Thanks Josh!
Awesome. Really like seeing how stuff is built and put together ( probably why I have a bazillion daily pictures of my house being built haha ). Thanks Josh for taking us along. Thanks to Ember for allowing you to video a great tour!
I'm so intrigued by this new, wonderful builder! Great ideas for layouts and options! Looks like fantastic quality too! Heading to an RV show next week. I'll be fangirling all over the place if EMBER happens to be there.
These are the future of travel trailers. They are built to last. I love your tour videos. It is fascinating to see how these come together. Thank you to Ember and their employees for letting you film them. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to film and edit the video. Please keep them coming.
Excellent video Josh! I am so glad that manufacturers are finally going to standardized wiring harnesses it makes troubleshooting so much easier. Now I would love to see wiring schematics included or online for a small charge. I come from an aviation background and wiring diagrams help immensely prior to ripping and tearing into things. Thanks again!
Trailers where a leak won't be catastrophic. FINALLY!! So many smart choices by this company. I'm excited to see that new "double axel" model I peeped in your MSL video!
I’d love to see Ember build a dual axle at some point. I know they’re designed for off roading so they won’t be huge. I’m thinking 20-25 feet, somewhere in there.
As an ex sparky who also was a partner in a fitted furniture company, I’m impressed by the attention. Yes it will take time, but this will be my next trailer, esp. before I do the Alaska highway via the top of the world route from Dawson city. My last run there broke even my Hummer.
Drove through Indiana yesterday on day 7/8 on the migration from AK to PA. The whole family was laughing as I excitedly pointed out all of the RV manufacturers and saying I want one of those, or this, or that one😆
Thank you for making this video. I had no idea Ember was making such a great product. Never really looked into them. With the new models you have peaked my interest!!
This is what I call a "buy once, cry once" purchase. Super well built to last decades although not the cheapest. You defintley get what you pay for with Ember.
nice definitely going to consider one of these even though its a single axle, I like their compact size and seems like the build quality is way up there
Another great video Josh and thanks to Ember RV for letting you take a tour and for continuing to listen to its customers & potential customers. Love all the quality control!
Thanks Josh for all this info and insight on this new company. 2 things, I would like to see a floor plan with a private bedroom personally. Also maybe a couples model that is built for remote workers in mind. That has not really been done right yet.
Josh this tour is fantastic, keep’m coming. 👍👍👍to Ember for listening to what customers think & want, also keeping making improvements. Josh 👍👍👍👍👍👍. Also I like that they don’t get in a rush building these & make Michigan size mistakes 😂😂. Josh you may have videoed their biggest one & I missed it, if not I’d like to see one, thanks
Thanks for the tour Josh, it's always nice to see the way companies do things, whether its the same way or different ways. Can definately see where Ember goes beyond some places. Though I'm sure the more eagle eyed viewers of yours can probably spot ways they can improve even more.
I am catching up on videos. This looks to be a well built unit. I appreciate the quality of these units. Thank you for the tour. Keep up your great work. 👍👍👍👍👍
Originally found out about Ember through a mixflip video of Ember at an rv show in reno. Quickly realized while watching about Ember that it was the trailer the wife and I were looking for. After a quick search to get more info your channel popped up and from the in depth review to the continuous follow up videos I knew I needed to subscribe. Great channel, love the enthusiasm, Excited to see more on Ember, and Can't wait to start saving for one for my family
Wow TY Richard! So far I've been able to get footage of every model they've made and am only waiting on the 221MDB for updated "full" walk-thru footage Here's a playlist with all of them: ru-vid.com/group/PLUT5NkY-l88wwo1dWEFta5iC7VZI7o97T If you watch from start to finish, then you can see where they've already made improvements and updates based heavily on the viewer feedback shared
@@JoshtheRVNerd I have seen in a few of your videos how well they are listening to their consumers, which is amazing to hear a company is taking serious notes from its buyers. Looking at the 191mdb, gotta fit 3 daughters and a wife who loves a dining table to eat at together. I'm interested to see if Ember is gonna create a full blown toy hauler instead of just the pass through (amazing design feature by the way). With their current floor plans and designs I think it could be really cool
Ordered a 191MDB two days ago so it’s kinda cool to think that one of these being built could be ours. The new stabilizer jacks look cool but i am concerned about the windows if they are having supply issues again.
Hi from Mexico! This is an excellent video, i specifically searched out on your channel, as i had a question which needed answering re: the floors, and if they are rotproof! And, thanks to this video, i've discovered that these beautiful quality built units, use composite flooring vs.plywood! I think Ember is like the Rolls Royce of the trailer industry, I love the "gourmet kitchen on wheels" Ember model!, it's totally awesome throughout!!, with an emphasis of course on that beautiful kitchen!! Loved it so much, put it in our playlist; 1st class living! We do creative vids from here in Mexico, all subjects, globally, including travel!
These are incredible RVs. Thanks Ember and Josh. I’m considering their products when it is purchase time. I’m looking for a smaller 15 to 17 foot square drop.
Wow I have watched a lot of build Z of RVs here on RU-vid and I have never been so impressed of this entire unit the company in the testing that it does the use of asdel it's part of it's awesome this this I would definitely buy of course I haven't seen the price yet but I'm going to check it out I live here on the West Coast Oregon I don't know whether they're available out here thank you so much for the video and you are definitely worth your weight in gold as a tour guide as knowing what you're talking about your presentation and knowledge makes this in all of your videos exemplary thanks again.
We do appreciate your videos... your honesty & obvious integrity, is very refreshing. We are very researching this Ember & your videos are helping more than any others. We are concerned about the window change - due to the supply issues... do you have any idea when they'll have the original european windows again? Thank you for what you do.
@@JoshtheRVNerd because you were able to do the factory tour during off hours really showed how Ember is putting quality & innovation into their product. I don’t mind a heavy duty price tag as long as I am getting a heavy duty product. And your video showed where the money was being spent. Thank you Uncle Josh
I Would like to add a small note with Terry I prefer the 191 but with a dual axle. That would reduce the tongue weight from 800 to Maybe 600 or 400 increase payload capacity of The trailer and allow me to use the additional payload of my truck half ton
Thanks Uncle Josh! Thanks Bish's! Thanks Ember! I liked the "quiet" tour with live footage added where applicable. Of course you know us, we have to ask... Do you have any plans to do a Grand Design factory tour? Also wanted to give a quick chuckle after seeing your debut on the main Bish's channel. We can't wait to buy a pair of Newmars, each one including our very own Uncle Josh to laugh along with.
I would love to see Ember tackle something similar to a Grey Wolf 24js. Something just for two folks, and made for the long run. With four tire suspension and the cargo weight load of 1 1/2 ton or more. And definitely with about 1200 watts solar capable. I am brain storming hard right now.
Manufacturer / Dealer service is the achilles heel of RV ownership. I hope Ember does a better job than most other RV companies. Would like to see more floorplans with more functionality - dual axle/ oven option / dual sinks / non Murphy bed options etc. I like the idea of less maintenance. If they truly have QC that may set them apart from most manufacturers. The Ember price point is laughable and will be their downfall - $54K single axle with some cheesy two burner stove no oven no dinette etc? C'mon now 🤣
Thanks Josh and all of the Ember crew -- I'm glad I went hunting for this video (I'm way behind on my video watching). I'm very glad that there are options for folks who don't actually want outside kitchens or bunks. I love max solar and walkable roof (while I don't plan on winter camping I know snow happens unexpectedly - at least here in Colorado it does). And Josh for a big door example just use a giant pizza :)
I'd like to see Ember put this out on the trails like the Black Series HQ 17 & HQ 19 have videos. Right now, Ember performance is only on paper drawn by engineers. Let's see it perform. RU-vid, the land of video proof. 🤔
Awesome tour and good info. I thought it was interesting they covered most of the wiring and plumbing before they let you video the underbelly. I wanted to see their wire management and how well they secure wires and plumbing lines before putting on the covers.
Wasn’t that they covered it before I got there. I just kinda kicked in the door and they were kind enough to let me work Factories have stop points at night so the morning crew knows exactly where to pick up
Great video! It looks like the underbelly enclosure is several sections. I like to see good access for repairs or customization. Tank heaters are a huge plus too, though it would be even better to see insulation.
@@JoshtheRVNerd Little details like that make a huge difference for someone thinking of doing some customization, or thinking of long term ownership and ease of getting to things. Having to take the whole underbelly down for a minor issue is a huge pain (or expense, if you have someone do an after warranty fix).
Can you do a factory tour of Outdoors RV in La Grand Oregon? Also, where is the aluminum structure in the touring edition? Is it built inside the panel wall??? Thanks for your videos. They're awesome.
LOVE Ember RVs! Especially the 201FBQ. I only have 2 problems with Ember...needs more CCC and there is not a Ember Dealer within a reasonable distance from my house in Knoxville, TN.
