This is a video taken from my new RV Masters Buyers Track video series! It's all about buying an RV, which includes more info than just tank sizes and sales gimmicks!
As a former RV salesperson, and full timer, I know both sides of the industry and I can show you how the sales process works, how to best navigate it, but I also provide information to help you determine if you even want to get into RV'ing!
In all, it contains almost 7 HOURS OF CONTENT - more than any other series I've seen. It's all you need to know about buying or trading an RV! And you can learn it from not only a full timer, but a former RV salesperson!
Videos include:
1. Start this adventure with your eyes open
2. Why it's so easy to lose the RV buying game
3. Renting vs buying
4. Types of RV's - Motorized Class A, B, and C
5. What you MUST know about towing
6. Types of towed RV's - Campters and 5th wheels
7. Towable floorplans summed up
8. Motorized floorplans summed up
9. What options come with this model?
10. Ambiguous RV language: A cake is not a cake
11. New vs. Used
12. Questions you REALLY should ask before buying!
13. How to narrow down the search!
14. About RV shows
15. The "usual" RV sales process - recognize what's happening!
16. See inside a sale
17. How to buy and save thousands
18. About trades
19. The sale isn't over - about financing!
20. What you must know about Warranties and Service Contracts

As I watched this video, I tried to think of a way to fully express how well done this video was. From the information you conveyed to your delivery, I have seldom seen a more value-packed KZfaq video and I watch a ton of them. You sir deserve some kind of award for presenting the information you do. The best I can come up with is that your video is at the information transference level of a TED talk!!!!! Kudos to you and the service you are providing your subscribers. All the best! Dan.

Artic Fox! I've transported over 100 RV's ,all towables and have owned 3 myself so I do have a dog in this hunt ! I actually have spent time inside them and mostly all were under built ! Northwood builds Artic Fox in Oregon. The big companies all manufacture there's in Indiana. Don't trust me, go into any Northwood's built RV with a thermometer than go into any other brand ! You can even feel the difference without the thermometer ! They claim to be built for "off road" use too! Try renting different coaches (brands) before you choose then give Northwoods a try ! Or become an RV transporter yourself so you can test out different companies😊

This was an incredibly helpful and enlightening video. My wife and I have been entertaining this RV lifestyle for 2 years - 4 RV shows - thousands of you tube videos, but we have not visited a dealer (yet). (I am not retired!) I despise car dealerships and I am sure RV dealers are even worse. Besides where I live (NE-NJ), RV'ing is NOT popular, and the closest dealers are 1.5 hours north (to NY state) west (to PA) or south to the jersey shore. For over 10 years, every car I leased, I only go to the dealer AFTER we determine the down payment and monthly payment thru emails. This is a difficult task - even these days. Then I will inspect, test drive, and complete the transaction if satisfied. They are all snakes, and most likely the RV dealers are the worst as you say !!! Again, thanks for these warnings and tips - some of which I heard already - you are providing a GREAT public service !!! We all thank you !!!!

Excellent video! The RV industry is all about sales, they talk about service but reality is that they can not handle the service volume. We had our first camper sent back to the manufacturer (we lived close) because the long list of problems (manufacturing problems) would have never been completed at the dealer's service center. In fact the dealer service center actually made one problem far worse! Generally speaking an RV owner should be a knowledgeable handyman. We are now into our second camper (upsized) after taking the first one from East coast to West coast twice and Upper Michigan and Texas also. Our worst experience was the defective refrigerator with an ammonia leak (woke us up, not a fun experience!) but it was replaced by the manufacturer under warranty.

One of these videos goes into great detail about the actual sale - what the salesperson is thinking, how you're going to be greeted and treated, and the actual negotiation and what's happening with the numbers and the multiple trips to the "sales managers office"... so if you liked this, there's a LOT more where that came from!

@stephenpowstinger733 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for a comprehensive View of the industry and the lifestyle. So much to think about. So many pitfalls. Unfortunately, I don't know of any consumer systematic scientific reports of the manufacturers and some of their models. You suggest they are all about the same but I understand some, like Airstream or Winnebago, should be of better quality - not merely more luxurious. Perhaps you cannot name names. Naturally, anything that runs down the road is going to have stresses put on it that would cause rattles, cracks and loosening. Using screws rather than nails or staples should be one thing that would help but I don't know which mfrs build in durability and ruggedness. The lack of a place to park it or hook it up, on the the road is a stumbling block to selling that puts a damper on the whole idea. I see loosening of parking laws in California due to an affordable housing crisis but I wouldn't want to infringe on property owners. Maybe I will take the plunge, maybe not.

I have been RVing for 50+ years and agree with what you say. I also have training in sales and know many of the tricks they pull. I tell them what I am willing to pay tax, title, and out the door. Buy based on price not payment. I never take a trade in with me nor tell them any information about what I have until the price is set. 90% of the time you'll do better if you already have the financing arranged.

@RVMasters 6 жыл бұрын

EDITED: Recent comments inspired me to edit this response from awhile ago: I actually don't recommend holding back the trade. Ultimately I think you should be upfront with the salesperson - I have a lot more to say about that in my training. But people do it, for sure.

@rexgambill 5 жыл бұрын

It's also dishonest. Yet you want the sales person to be honest with you. Can't have it both ways.

@roydavis2242 5 жыл бұрын

How is it dishonest? I want to know what the real price of the unit is. If they ask if I have I trade in, I say that is not relevant to the price of their unit. I want the price it will cost for me to take it home, period. You'd be surprised how little they actually give on a trade-ins.

@rexgambill 5 жыл бұрын

They typically give about 60-75 percent of wholesale book value, because then the dealer has to turn around and sell your trade at a profit in order to stay in business. That is only a surprise to the naive.

Very well said about buying the right RV. Your plans/requirements can change quickly after buying, take that into account. When your 12 year old son goes from under 5 ft to 6'5" in a few years he doesn't fit in his bunk anymore and it's no fun. Also - those people assembling RV's are unskilled surge workers. The safety standards are also fairly low, the weight ratings are not consumer friendly and are not based on real-life scenarios.

The rest of my training is to set your expectations properly so you don't get upset over stuff that is "normal" in the industry (but not good). Then even more training on how to use and drive/tow it, so you are confident and don't make expensive, easy mistakes. Overall, I love them, but to really have fun with them you have to navigate the industry. The other thing I'm trying to point out is that you can't make assumptions about the industry. If you read the many comments on my different videos, you'll see how people react to this information: some don't believe it, some disagree this is a reality, and some will tell you it's dead on. But as long as your eyes are open... it can be a blast!

If they are not turning or in a garage with the doors closed and window shades down. Unless you can take them off every day and bring enough in da house? China/ Korea Or even: MADE IN THE USA! They will each try to meet the LOWEST STANDARD POSSIABLE and charge the HIGHEST price imangineable! Brand New ST tires will disinergrate at 63.1 mph at maximum pressure, sooner if the get sun burned?😡 Harbor freight $10. Wal-Mart $20 : garbage bag? 20 year supply $8. Unless they have a sale?

The Auto Industry used to be like that. You had to be aware of "Running Inline Production Modifications," The Auto Industry handled it by listing vehicles by Year and "batch number," when they changed a particular part out. The last company I know that did that was International Harvester with their Scout in the Late 60's, but other smaller companies like Studebaker, Checker Cab Car company and American motors did that until the late 1950's and early 60's. They used this system last on Postal Jeeps. I was wondering if the RV industry might be doing the same when they have to change out a vendor for a particular part.

@JohnsDIYPlayground 5 жыл бұрын

I've worked for a supplier to all the big OEM auto manufacturers for 20 years. Every single one allows for running changes during the model year of production. It's much more a formalized process from decades ago, but I can assure you that a car you buy at the start of a model year is NOT made from the same design level of parts at the beginning. Things happen... sub suppliers go out of business or we are forced to make design changes to lower the piece price.

With the amount of "full time" RV'ers out there, no wonder their rigs break down.

Hence the reason cargo vans are selling like hot cakes and so many more people are converting them to be used full time. Your thoughts?

Having owned 7 motorhomes in the last 35 years, I would say that the first thing a potential RV buyer should do, is to rent different RVs in similar styles to what they might purchase, the first year. Also, the potential buyers need to address the fact of where are they going to store their RV. I have found that the best place to store one, is at home, if you have the space and the town that allows it. We are lucky where we live to have a space I created that has water, electricity and a sewer outlet. Also, think about sun protection and also be aware that you might live in an area where you need to winterize your RV. This is very important so do your research. I have always bought used and most of the time it has turned out good. I prefer Ford chassis and motors. Presently I have a V10 motor and so far it has been reliable and the performance up hills, etc. is quite good, but it cannot pass a gas station very well. I stay far away from Mercede$ (had one that cost tons of money to keep running). There are thousands of Ford dealers around the country, but not too many Mercedes dealers, plus the cost of parts can be crazy high. When you Google for parts, type in "Made In USA" plus your item. Stay far away from any "Made In China" parts, and especially plastic items. Good luck and happy camping.

excellent video! You really need to have some technical expertise, Motor homes for example are not "big cars" you can live in. You have to be able to handle day to day issues if they crop up. You need to technically grasp all aspects of your rig. As was said; they are not houses on wheels. I prefer mid 90's used class C on a ford e350 chassis with the V10 Vortec. most will leak over the cabover at some point (duelly excepted are Born Free or Lazy Daze all season rigs etc) roof sealing is envitable, so learn how. plumbing, redo all with PEX pipe and sharkbite fittings. Electrical, replace all with lights with leds, learn solar and use Lithium batteries. Sine Wave Inverters for our now delicate electronics etc. Im not scaring anyone away, I just enjoy rebuilding old rigs and making them better than the factory product. New rigs are wonderfull, but i would buy at a least two year older 2018. Full life left and the chance to learn your rig mechanically from the wheels up, and your not losing 20 grand when you pull if off the lot. To be honest, if cant use a screwdriver just remember that fact that you cant just call a contractor to come over and fix your issue.

I've been watching your videos for a while now and I have to admit you scared me off from buying a couch... Please answer this before I make a mistake. What do you think of the 2018 Airstream Atlas Murphy Suite?..I'm really thinking of purchasing this one. Please help.

Great question! I'm very cautious to make recommendations for a variety of reasons. But I will tell you this much: I've never heard of anyone having problems with Airstreams. I've been told by many people they are high quality, very functional yet simple, and their owners love them. I've also been told that they hold their value more than about anything else - it was once said it'll never be worth less than half of its original price. I don't know about that, but I do know Airstream owners love them. Hope that helps a little!
