If your planning on buying a new RV, DON'T. If you must have an RV buy used. The last decade or so RV build quality has gone into the dumpster. Worse yet the warranties are rigged against the consumer. You can't even sue them but have to go to arbitration. Yes, the hire and pay the arbiter. Hardly fair. Check out Steve Lehto's videos on the topic. He is a consumer advocate lawyer dealing specifically in the Lemon Law. But has dealt with RV related law suits.

Let's be honest, nobody has ever called you "honey badger"...

how wide is the garage? let's see a 4 seat RZR Pro R in there. I still can't find any footage of one in a toyhauler.

Sounds like they still need to "Purchase credits" to be able to sell. I guess they can do that and add that cost to all RV's sold in CA. Not sure of that would put it out of reach for most consumers meaning they still can't sell them in CA.

I was wondering the same thing it’s up you know insulating the inside with inch and a half or inch foam but I like that idea what that insulation it’s a lot easier to work with

Why don't they stand behind their products. Seems like scuzy, unethical business practices. Can't they do the right thing.

CARB is a bunch of unelected bureaucrats with too much power. They should be shutdown along with the PUC and Insurance commissioner…..all of which are simply extensions of gov newsom gov corruption.

You can apologize for the CARB all you want. Bottom line, manufacturers will have to purchase credits, read permission, to build ICE motorhomes for sale in CA. Cost that will be passed on to end purchasers. Oh, credits will be a diminishing resource as the CARB percentage increases. Some chassis manufacturers are never going to build products that are EV. There would be no market for them even if they did, considering how motorhomes are intended to be used. CARB is committed to ending ICE in CA. That is stupid and needs to be stopped NOW, before it becomes critical to the marketplace. Your apologizing for CARB actions is counterproductive.

Airstream has NEVER been spacious. But they're still RELIABLE and retain their resale value. That's mainly bc of the Airstream fans keep paying high prices for the name.

Click-bait and I am sick of it, thanks HB!!

I think the issue is that consumers choice is limited by the regulations that limiting of the manufacture abilities will push prices up in certain markets, if not others. Really this burns down to tax money for carbon credits, that's all governments want here is the tax money......

Sounds like they put limits on em. Screw Limits.Why take on the risk of being sued for failing to jump thru the hoops? They could and should just do business in another state where they don't have to jump thru the hoops. Then if you wanna pay someone to jump thru the hoops for ya, well then thats gonna cost more.

Dont go to Jiffy Lube or buy Hyndais. I Do my own oil changes and drop the used oil to my local Jiffy Lube

Easier to just stay out of CA. I don't blame any of the manufacturers for leaving or staying out of CA instead of "complying " with their made up rules. Later.

What a great video series you have on this.

what is a "roof on the ladder"? 0:09

Wrong Wrong Wrong. Since none of the RV OEM’s manufacture their own chassis and depend on larger auto OEM’s the ones which manufacture zero emission units are the only ones who earn credits. The auto OEM’s would never allocate these credits to RV OEM’s nor is it allowed. How do you think Tesla has made most of its revenue? Not by selling cars but by selling EV credits. Same here, if the RV OEM’s want those credits they will need go buy them. This additional cost would significantly increase the price. But hey I’m sure you know more than both of the largest California news papers SF Chronicle and LA Times. Both have also confirmed the ban on motorhomes in California unless the rules change.

We also have a right to be told the truth about how EVs are hurting the environment as well and are not sustainable.

My bad, how many of the chassis makers make enough zero emission chassis so they can sell the other chassis? Does Freightliner or Spartan qualify any chassis?

Good to hear this data! Thankyou for that.

How many RV companies are using zero emission chassis?

Thank you for taking the time and doing the analysis. Now, I can back to shopping for my forever DP, here in Oregon! 🙂

Always appreciate the bottom line truth thank you. I agree the black smoke per se has got to go and that is nothing new.

Noise filter? Insert wife joke here..

Whst about the new CA RV rules?

Sound good

And fast forward they finally did what they always wanted to do!

Naw they call u that cause of ur two front teeth bro

I agree with you on economy. I’m so glad I learned about budgeting and living with my means in my early 30’s. I hope everyone learns this. If u can then u will set yourself for success no matter what the market is like.

Please credit me for using my pic in the thumbnail

Hi there, I’m trying to sell my late brothers 2016 Forest River Vibe. The consignment offered at CW was a joke. What can I do aside my RVTrader listing? It’s paid off, and I’d even be glad to trade it in, but for a much fairer value.

I am glad I found your video I have been looking at buying a fifth wheel with my half ton truck and now currently rethinking my decision

Man, this is really awesome. The only complaint I have is in living area has massive wasted space next to the entrainment center. If they’d shift it closer to the bed/couches they could put in a huge pantry. By adding that to this floor plan would be amazing. Not everyone wants toyhaulers for side by sides. We have a Goldwing and would rather have a massive pantry because we like to spend time traveling and need room for clothes/food/dishes and dog crates and their supplies

Any opinion on ATC toy hauler?

Are you working on a best/worst top 5 for fifth wheel toy haulers? Currently in the market and leaning towards Genesis. Your videos are very informative and have helped us immensely in our search! Appreciate you doing these for us folks on the west coast!

Just watched your last video. Looks like your cold is gone 👍

the repo market is hanging itself right now,,and i dont mean repossession of an RV...lolol

I'd counter just a bit. If you're 57 years old and start your own mobile RV service business in a "high density" RV area (Arizona, Florida, etc), then all of those RV owners, new and used, will be knocking on your door....as long as your rates are reasonable and your service is fast.

This will help me alot because i am using a Wilderness 97 31.5 travel trailer, and after this it helps because l am giving this to my daughter. And am going to get a 5th wheel RV. I was already looking at alliance, this helps.

we were born and bred to be consumers.. thats our job in the U.S. we are just like our inept government.. spend like drunken sailors.. the only way to stop people from spending is the banks need to kill credit.. and the Fed will not let that happen.. we are a consumer based economy.. if we stop spending it's over..

yep, my bad, I totally had the federal reserve print me 8 trillion dollars in 3 years so i could go buy that new corolla and a ps5. sorry!

Could demand increase for RVs if housing continues to become more unaffordable? Have you considered testing for Covid?

Yes, these are the times. Yes, people living way above their means. Will and are going to be underwater, and life is brutal at every turn. I do hope and pray for you and us all. That's all l have to say.

11-4-24: RVIA release September new Class A RV shipments and the news is devastating: Class A shipments from factories plummeted to only 442 units in September from 718 a year prior. That's only 15 shipments of new Class A motor homes per day for the entire nation. Nine month shipments of Class A motor homes is down 38%. Four years of Biden inflation and high interest rates have killed the US Class A motor home market just like Jimmy Carter did in 1980.

but we did have to buy food

👌🏼👍🏼

The industry will have to cut the salesforce to eliminate their commissions and use it toward discounts in order to sell... GARV showed up to 150K a year depending on performace.. I don't see that happening.. with that said, your honest opinion.. Grand Design Imagine XLS vs Jayco Jay Feather?
