So glad we are finally seeing proper stabilizing jacks instead of the crappy scissor jacks! Good job Ember!
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!! 👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻
Ember is not the only company doing good work. You need to see Outdoors RV factory tour. That is quality work.
Hopefully Ember will make a large dual axle 25+’ TT SOON!
Agreed. I love the look and style they've got going, but for now they're all a bit small for my preference.
Some of those single axle trailers are $60,000+. Can you imagine what a 25' trailer from them would cost?
So next saturday you'll get to see my early access footage to exactly what you just described :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd oh boy, excited yes I am. 🙀
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.
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!
Wow.. wow man. Thank you
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
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.
Yeah they’re a new company but they aren’t a bunch of newcomers by any means
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!
I love the factory tours Josh. It's fascinating seeing how RV's are built. Very interesting.
My pleasure :)
Double lock nut a must, upgrade to disc brakes.
Love these factory tours! Fascinating to see the process. Again, great job informing AND entertaining us, Josh!
My pleasure, Terry!
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.
I can't tell you how much I love this and can't express how much I appreciate Ember RV for letting you do this. AWESOME!!
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.
Agreed
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
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.
I really like these trailers. Ember is doing it right. The only thing I'd like to see is a slideless trailer, with the flex space and a proper oven
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.
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.
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!
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.
Yeah that chassis system literally is THE basis of Ember's entire company. They quite literally built around it
Ember is setting a new standard of build quality.
Love it. It’s really cool to see Ember using the stabilizers now.
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.
Hmm.. not a terrible idea
That is a great idea
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!
TY for the nylon nut suggestion
Can it be ordered and delivered at the factory?
I love the synthentic floors. No more dry rot if you get moisture penetration!
Same is true for the entire structure really
the roof is basically a sidewall... except it's twice as thick
This is incredible that you got this access. Awesome info for us, and it shows they are proud of their process.
Lot of factories are pretty proud of their work and welcome me to come showcase what they do
I'm impressed. Can't wait to see the 26 to 30 foot models.
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!
Friday. 😉
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.
Thx for watching
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!
Agreed! Tracking elec issues is murder
Thank you Josh, Ember and the big B.
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.
You won't have to wait long. Literally next saturday I'm showcasing their first one
Thank you every one involved I enjoyed see how these are made
Glad you enjoyed it!
Do you have any
@@jessecain1646 we sure do! bit.ly/3TPOOFj
Thank you for showing the building of Ember's RV's.
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!
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.
Thanks Josh and thank the manufacturer for allowing us all to tour this facilitie with you great job keep it up
Thank you Ember! The quality of Ember seems so great!
It really is!
Love your factory tours video, saves time. Thank you
Thanks for the tour Josh. I always love RV factory tours.
My pleasure buddy!
Looks like a quality build.
Great tour
Ty!
Thanks a lot, Josh. Now I want that Ember quality!
Great tour! Looks like a great RV…really appreciate all the little details you point out, and watching one of these get built.
My pleasure!
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!!
Absolutely my pleasure
Thank you Ember, thank you Bish's, and thank you Josh
I feel I can safely speak for all of us when I say "it's our pleasure!" :)
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.
Great and informative video Josh. I truly like Embers. There will be one in my future!
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! I always enjoy your videos
My pelasure!
I like the size, not overly long!
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. 👍👍👍👍👍
My pleasure Jim!
Great review of the factory. I think that Ember is setting the bar for others to hopefully follow. Thanks Ember!!
I think so too!
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!
Always find it interesting to see manufacturing process of various products ! Slainte' ! Cheers !
Glad to be of service!
Thank you Josh. 👍
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.
Thank you Josh!
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
2023 will have dual axles and a few other changes I spoke to the company personally myself
Next saturday you'll get your first look :)
Thank you Dominic for the news since I'd rather buy a double axel RV.
Great video. Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍
I'm in love with Ember.
They have that effect on people
@@JoshtheRVNerd 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yep, even my Dad likes them. I shared the video.
Thanks, Ember! Thanks, Bish's! Thanks, Whomever!
hahahaah
Thank you Uncle Josh .
My pleasure!
Nice job. Thanks Bishs and ember!
Our pleasure!
Wish there was a love button!
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.
👍🏻
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😆
lol
Wow I have watched a lot of build Z of RVs here on TH-cam 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.
great video Josh keep em coming
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: th-cam.com/play/PLUT5NkY-l88wwo1dWEFta5iC7VZI7o97T.html
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
@@Murasamefox I know they're working on some stuff but they have requests to go in a LOOOOT of directions
Nice Tour.
thanks Ember
😊
Good to see plant tours to see how trailers are built
Thx for watching
Thanks.
Josh, this was your best video you have ever made.
Wow.. really?
Thank you!
What made this one so different/special for you?
@@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
Bro! I think I'm sold 😀
awesome video. Makes me want to buy one. Thank ypu
Nice! Ty for watching
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.
ROK and ROL at your service! bit.ly/3MawdRo
GREAT!!! MORE TOURS MORE TOURS
Thanks!
My pleasure!
Great video!
TY!
Love your vlogs!
Thank you 😊
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.
2023 models will resume the euro windows
Cool loved it
Ty!!
Squirrel!! Hahaha, Thanks Ember, Grate video Josh,
If you can go do the 22mls tour I really would like to see the assembling line in action.
Like always thank you for your amazing work.
Steph.
I'm way overdue on a cougar tour
Nice Sound of Music reference there at the beginning 😁😉
;)
Great video as always Josh. Can’t wait to get our 201FBQ and find out for ourselves how well these are built.
Do you have one on order? I hope she treats you well!
@@JoshtheRVNerd Yes sir. Coming up on two months ago with a local dealer. Estimate was 4-6 months. Full up with every option including max solar and 4 batteries.
More Ember!
ANOTHER Sneak Peek coming next saturday! :)
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.
Sectionalized yeah. Because of the suspension. The tires have to go up into that space
@@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).
Ember is made in Costco!?!!
:p
Thanks Josh
Thanks Bish’s
Thanks Ember
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
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.
I haven’t heard an estimated ETA on the windows. Only that the euro windows will be returning for sure
Picking ours up tomorrow ! 171FB
Wow! Congrats! Were my videos helpful to you in making your decision?
@@JoshtheRVNerd litte bit , consumed alot of content. Visited our local deal in Alberta Canada and just enjoyed them in person
Thank you, (again) for yet another great, in depth video! This Ember factory video is VERY IMPRESSIVE. Ember is definitely on our top 2 list! 😊
Ember is on our top two list also. Outdoors RV is our other brand we are looking at. What is the other brand you are looking at?
@@sparkypdx
Hey Jon, the other brand we're considering is the Grand Design Imagine XLS 17MKE or the 22RBE. HOWEVER, Uncle Josh JUST reviewed the new EMBER tandem axle 201FBQ. An amazing unit we feel! We're hoping that maybe they might offer it with a murphy bed instead of the fixed bed giving us that second seating area. We really don't like the bed being visible all the time - kinda takes away the "living area feel" we like. Naturally we could always go with a much longer trailer that would offer a separate bedroom, but that's something we don't want to do since it's just going to be the two of us and we want to be around 25 feet max in length. Maybe we're just being WAY TO PICKY!!! 😝 but this coach would be our last one.
Godspeed on your search and final choice! 🙏
@@moecabrera9595 Thanks for replying to our question. Wow both of those are nice. It is hard finding a shorter trailer with good “road mode”. And the new tandem Ember sure checks a lot of boxes. Good luck to you too on your search. Jon J
@@sparkypdx Yes! That tandem Ember is A REALLY NICE coach, not to mention the way they are built. VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE INDEED! 👍
(Did I fail to mention they're VERY IMPRESSIVE as well??? 😝)
Have a pleasant rest of your weekend!
Thanks for another great video. I would like to see a tour of Grand Design and Lance.
I wish Lance was closer but GD is in the neighborhood!
@@JoshtheRVNerd Awesome can you let us know how they get the R-40 numbers in there RVs
@@jims261 All it takes is marketing and your imagination lol
A king bed would be nice with a washer dryer
I'd like to see your opinion on the OBI brand of trailers.
Thanks everyone😊
Absolutely Awesome Vid; Best Factory tour you have ever done! Were there addl new models coming out other than the MLS?
201FBQ and 221MDB... quad wheels and walk around beds!!
@@JoshtheRVNerd TY Josh will be looking for reviews as I have decided that I want an Ember based on the quakity and build and will but for your delaership as hard to find in Florida
