I was an RV service tech 45 years ago. We serviced Nomad RV's, Palamino pop-ups and truck campers. All of our techs would go through the RV once it was sold and checked everything out: lights, hot water and cold water (leaks), propane, 12 VDC service, gray & fresh water holding tanks, pumps, refrigerators, everything. We went through the new & used trailers with a fine tooth comb and fixed any issues. One thing that I notice several years after that was the quality coming out of the manufacturers was going downhill, and fast. I had to take a Latham 5th wheel to Pennsylvania for warranty repairs and while the repairs were being made, they gave me a tour of the manufacturing plant, where they assembled these trailers and 5th wheel trailers. One thing I notice was at the end of the assembly line, where the quality control inspections were being done, was that there was hardly any lighting on inside the unit and there were 3-4 inspectors inside all huddled together. I couldn't believe it!! They just don't make 'em like they used to anymore!!!

So many things needed to be repaired and replaced. We figured out that the people who previously owned it ran it into the ground driving it through the desert. They knew it was going to be reprocessed so just ran it into the ground. We finally sold it after fixing everything and went with a new Forest River Berkshire diesal which we purchased in Alvarado Tx. Forest River was phenomenal with anything we needed help with in and out of warranty. We never took the RV to where we purchased it. We took it to FR approved repair facilities near to us in CA.

The “WHY” is a simple answer. Speed, a push for urgency and profit. We toured one RV shop, we went through the build process. They were PROUD that their teams could build the cabinets for everything, a bath, kitchen, LR and Bedroom in under 20 minutes, the single installer could install the cabinets in under 10 minutes. We are talking a single worker picking the cabinets up, putting them up holding it with one hand using nail guns with the other. The entire trim was done next in about 5 minutes, precut strips, guy moving so fast, tack gun popping away, no pause to ensure trim was straight, etc. Every time I tour and RV and see lose or crooked cabinets, wallpaper or backsplash problems, etc., I think of that tour. I get the need for profit, but when you’re paying $50k-$100k for an RV, you don’t expect the company to be proud of their being able to build the entire thing in hours.

Recently bought a Riverside RV 245RB. 2024 model, built in May '23. I'm in California, and bought it from a dealer in Ohio, near the manufacturer's plant. By the time it got to our house, the roof membrane had failed, and was a big balloon on top of the trailer. A light fixture was broken, and a window blind was shredded. Everything else seems to work fine. After engaging the Ohio dealer, who knows the manufacturer personally, and a few phone calls and emails, I was able to get the roof membrane fully replaced under warranty at a dealer in the central valley. Ultimately, in my case the General Manager at Riverside RV was responsive and the warranty work was done quickly. Bobby the GM was responsive, but I would counsel working directly with him, as the Warranty Manager's voicemail box is full and she cannot be reached that way. We are making our maiden camping voyage in a couple of days, and are happy that the issues were resolved. On the one hand, Riverside RV's customer service is not where it needs to be, but on the other hand they did honor the warranty in my case, and (except for issues reaching the Warranty Manager) the work was approved and done timely.

The worst part of this is that after you leave is when the problems begin and we are forced to make the repairs to get to our next destination and that voids whatever is covered. SADLY.

I am so glad that you fight for these people with the RV problems. My family had a 2012 Forrest River 5th wheel and we had good luck with it. I am glad you spread the word on your channel because my wife and I were looking to buy a motor home. Thanks to your channel, we will pay to have an inspection ahead of time.

Liz, thank you so much for the work you have done here revealing this industry! I am a disabled widow and I just can't afford to take this kind of risk, although, I'd like to buy something I can depend on to live and travel in. Kust a thought, but could you by any chance, make a web page that lists the different RV brands as well as the issues you have reported on in your videos, (adding to it as you go)? Seems we can't trust the traditional review system anymore...but I feel I can trust what you have looked into and found. And it would be a great resource for anyone looking to buy...before they buy! I'd be interested in an RV, if I could find an honest company, but I will not support this type of corruption, and many people would benefit from seeing a shame list. Thanks again, I hate to hear how these people are being treated...but I love that you are helping us navigate and avoid the companies that do not care about their product, reputation, or their customers.

@batshtcrazy5293 2 месяца назад

A good piece of advice, is buy something made before 2018. Yes, you'll have to do some upgrades, but hopefully itll be made better. Unless its anything associated with Thor, or in this case, Riverside. If you're ok with drivables, class A's tend to be nicer and better built. And ALWAYS get an independant inspection before buying! We're retired and very happy with our Tiffin Allegro built in 2016. To add, watch out though, because after 2018 Thor bought out Tiffin. Do your research! Its worth the time.

Our favorite server at our local restaurant asked me last night about recommendations for used RVs. They're looking at a Class C (because they have a Great Dane and a Mastiff!). The first words out of my mouth were "don't buy anything that was made during lockdown". The trailer in this video was purchased in 2022 and these manufacturers were trying to meet the increased demand by cranking out shoddy units hand over fist, sometimes using substandard parts because the supply chain was affected by lockdown. I also texted her today with a bunch of recommendations and first and foremost was no matter whether she bought new or used to make sure she got an inspection. They seem to be mandatory these days. And I'm going to send her a link to this video just to hammer that home.

We camped earlier in life and it was the best times ever for our young family. Whenever I get the urge to get back into it, a quick trip to an RV showroom kills off any desire I had. Some of the defects are so obvious it makes us wonder about the 20 or so others we don’t see. We leave with both our sanity and money but it’s a damn shame to be pushed away from something you love to do because of what industry has become. It’s not just the RV company but Lippert, Dexter and all the rest of the suppliers as well.

@upcountry4me 2 месяца назад

Good job Liz. Sunshine is the best disinfectant for these unscrupulous manufacturers and their networks of underhanded dealers and sales specialists. Your 40 plus years of research and experience as an RV owner and user has yielded knowledge that is quite valuable to prospective new buyers especially since you are current and up to date with so much of what has happened to quality construction, follow through and reliability. People trust you and that’s hard to come by. How about a new video with the Top 20 Tips when looking for a new or used RV. It certainly seems like in todays world the securing of an independent RV inspection and report should be a mandatory requirement before spending your hard earned dollars.

I am disgusted at the manufacturer. I am with you on the frustration that too many people are buying brand new RVs. If they insist on new, they shouldn't buy anything without enough knowledge to watch for these signs. I hope this couple hires a lawyer or at least file the safety issyes wirh NHTSA or the Canadian equivalent. This is fast becoming a major problem in the industry that should have some oversight like the aito industry. RVIA is such a self serving group - who cares if they "certify" RVs - they are on the dealers and manufacturing side, not the buyer.

@falcorthewonderdog2758 Месяц назад

Trailer RVs are generally lower quality than class A. Simple solution is to look for a low mileage used class A. The build quality in Class A RVs is leaps and bounds above and beyond any trailer of any confiuration. I'm in a low mile gas class A for 7 years. Have done a few repairs but nothing major after 7 years on the road. And like i said real quality build. Moen bathroon. Porcelain toilet. Queen memory foam mattress. Corean simulated marble couter tops. Maple cabinets. Leather recliner. Dual 18,000 btu central air. 5500 watt generator. Other than wear and tear and maintenance its running strong. Everything works. I have maybe $25k in it.

@trisheller2935 Месяц назад

Sir, respectfully…..We owned our first class C motorhome over 20 years and traded it for a brand new 2023Class C in Aug. 2022. It was ordered that January. We have had nothing but problem after problem. I have written letters to the dealer, sent countless emails, and talked to the manufacturer. I have threatened an attorney,but have been told there is no lemon law on RVs! (Guess I need to write to Pete Buttajed. (sp?)) I’m tired of writing letters. We have camped for 50 years (just celebrated our golden) and had only 4 units prior to this one. I am glad you can afford the best of everything Sir, but most of us out here can’t. The rest can afford attorneys to handle it with a letter. Happy camping . 🏕️

"Its like they don't want our business". Thats been my takeaway for some time. I'd been camper shopping for a while and candidly, was scared to buy one because QC was so crappy. Then it dawned on me when I saw one, Airstream. Although not perfect, I do believe their quality is very good for the industry and I have not regretted my decision to buy it. I hope the manufacturers are watching your videos, among others, because I can first hand say, i did not buy one of their crappy units and would have gone without before wasting money on their junk.
