For those of you that have been following us, you know that we just put a down payment on an OVR Expedition. Our build will start in March and will be shipped to Gerzenys RV World here in Lakeland, FL. We thought since we won't have our RV till March, why don't we take a trip to Nappanee, IN and see the new factory and how these RVs are built. This tour was very eye opening, and I gathered a lot of useful information that we will not find without going to the factory. I would like thank Adam Helfrich, inTech Customer service, for taking the time to show me around and answer any question that I had. We hope this video will be informative for everyone. We have also have provided some helpful links below that were provided to me.

Finally a showcase video that explain the insulation/non insulation of these rigs. Anyone have any apprehensive feelings on this besides me??

@fulltimethrivenadventures2686 Год назад

The insulation, or lack there of, is a problem. Our A/C runs constantly during the mid-day to try and keep the trailer cool. I wish they had a better option for sure.

@KhanhNguyen-il6yi Месяц назад

Looks like it's something we'll have to ask from each company before buying. Sus, I had my eyes set on the Sol Horizon. But I can't understand why they don't put more insulator during build. That space could afford another R5 of insulation. It can't cost that much more, and with that much exposure it shouldn't cost more labor time.

@KhanhNguyen-il6yi Месяц назад

The suspension is Dexter torsion axles.

@richardkoch8752 2 месяца назад

For the price and quality build it should have a walk on roof that would hold a elephant and it's twin sister!

@fulltimethrivenadventures2686 2 месяца назад

They were trying to keep the weight down and probably cut costs.

@bradmootz2196 8 месяцев назад

I am a big fan of the construction of these units. Im not worried about it being able to withstand sub-freezing temps. And the fact its aluminum us folks hauling them in the snowbelt (salt!) makes it less likes to deteriorate/rust. Looking at picking up a Discover soon.

It’s amazing how great, above the entire RV industry, Lance is made when you look at the manufacturing practices like this, or any RV factory in Indiana for that matter.

@newenglandrvadventures 8 месяцев назад

Lance is more like other RV manufacturers than intech. No one on the market right now has a caged structure like this. Lance the floor is floating on the frame and attached to the frame on the outriggers. Where as the floor here is part of the frame and walls. There’s no hurricane strapping here 😂

Suggest full composite floor and Azdel both inside and outside.

@rc2437 Год назад

I ordered the Navigate OVR about 4 weeks ago. I've got a build date for June which should tell you how popular these trailers are and a testimony to their overall quality. Hopefully I'll have my unit by July at the latest.

We should be getting ours by Apr. excited to get it ordered but the waiting sucks.

@@fulltimethrivenadventures2686 Hi...not to be too nosy, but what type of towing vehicle are you going to use? I have a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 V6 4.3 liter with 3.23 gears. The GCWR for my truck is 11,000 lbs which means it's right at the limit of towing the Navigate. My Chevy dealer told me that I'll have to swap the rear gears to a 3.43 in order to increase my towing capacity and perhaps some heavier springs for about $300. It's about $4k to change the gears but it's still much cheaper than buying a used or new truck for $50k.

@fulltimethrivenadventures2686 Год назад

@@rc2437 we are using a 2020 Dodge Ram. The Navigate was to much weight for us. That is why we settled on the Expedition.

@dlindsay1797 4 месяца назад

Needs closed cell foam blocks for additional insulation in the walls and ceiling. Needs R19 fiberglass insulation in the floor. What about the windows, double pane? Too bad! Nice design.

@dpl2617 5 месяцев назад

I am a bit leery of the taped on aluminum exterior skin. Also doesn't seem to be built with maintenance/repair in mind. Would hate to have a wiring, plumbing, or weld crack issue !! Also would like to see heat & hot water systems upgraded to modern offerings, and a generator. I am VERY impressed with the cleanliness and organization of the factory floor...

@fulltimethrivenadventures2686 5 месяцев назад

There have been some issues with the seems but they have addressed them quickly. They have also started to offer the on demand water heater and a generator option.

@tylersrubar6451 3 месяца назад

I know the aluminum skin is stuck on with the special tape, but is the trim around the edges applied after, kinda holding the skin on too? Hard to tell on the video.

@fulltimethrivenadventures2686 3 месяца назад

The black diamond plating is put on over the aluminum panels and sealed

@kirkkramer2412 10 месяцев назад

Looks like a “down time “ for the video. I wonder if they run three shifts ( 24hrs. A day), they could double their production.

@123JumpingJacks 9 месяцев назад

How do you check seals on roof without being able to walk on it?

@fulltimethrivenadventures2686 9 месяцев назад

You have to use something like a strip of plywood that span across at least to roof joist to disperse and hold your weight.

@alowatsakima8950 Год назад

Are those 4 wheel brakes?

@fulltimethrivenadventures2686 Год назад

Yes they are.

Is an articulating hitch an option?

@fulltimethrivenadventures2686 8 месяцев назад

Not sure. That would be a question for inTech.

@jeffb.2469 Год назад

Any regrets about your purchase so far. How would you compare this model to one of the Airstreams?

@fulltimethrivenadventures2686 Год назад

We don’t have any regrets. The only issues we have is that the insulation on the OVR is lacking. Not sure what Air Streams use for insulation. I think for the money though the OVR might be a better value.

@truthseeker111 11 месяцев назад

The Ember is a much better build. Seamless exterior, R-Value, Euro windows, walkable roof, Truma components, Curt suspension, 5th wheel black water flush, Flat Jack tongue jack, Wheel locks etc.

3M Tape To Hold The Outside Panels On???

@fulltimethrivenadventures2686 Год назад

Essentially yes it is taped on. I believe they do this will all different lines of their trailers. Seems to work pretty well.

@Captndarty Год назад

@@fulltimethrivenadventures2686 yeah, I was surprised to find this out when one of my panels popped off a couple inches on my flyer Discover. I was less than pleased as you really couldn’t get back in between to re-adhere it

@JustSimplifying 9 месяцев назад

I've been considering one of these and it's great to get the build questions answered. I'm fine with the 3m tape. People would be surprised if they new how many high end products out there use just adhesives. This includes lot of commercial applications in the transportation sector. It's similar to ZIP tape for a house. It's great as long as you apply it correctly. The margin of error is the only concern. You'd almost need to add a blower door test as part of the QC as they go out the door to verify. Even if it was random sampling you'd be able to calculate your failure rates and then return to analyze your application process if needed.

@ddxfs 11 месяцев назад

It's very unfortunate that it looks like a lot of it is well built then they just use a sheet of bubble foil for "insulation". That's almost as good as nothing

@fulltimethrivenadventures2686 11 месяцев назад

We really like our OVR but the insulation is one of the major down sides. I understand the reasoning behind not taking the time to fill all the different gaps in the frame with better insulation but it does cause the trailer to run hot.

@JustSimplifying 9 месяцев назад

@@fulltimethrivenadventures2686 Yeah this is a big miss for me. I totally understand how they came to this decision and am willing to sacrifice Azdel sides for the aluminum frame. But I'd also be ok spending a little more for the rig if they had down spray foam insulation in all of the cavities before applying the exterior skin.

@LAP1050 9 месяцев назад

The inTech representative needs some practice, not the smoothest presentation.

@JustSimplifying 9 месяцев назад

I actually preferred that. He was honest about the weak points in the build and that it's only a three season camper. If they were too smooth and polished I'd almost be more suspicious of the build. The fact that he normally doesn't get in front of the camera also means he probably is usually working on design or other build processes.

I’ve met Adam when we did our tour to see our Terra Oasis being built. He’s a customer service guy who does tours once in a while. Except today, someone shows up for a factory tour with a vid cam, and I’m guessing he drew the short straw. He s a good guy, not a game show host.
