Thanks for this video Andrew. Best buying experience we have ever had was with Premier RV. Now, the whole team keeps our rig in great shape. During the PDI they replace items we never asked to be replaced. We continue our service there and see no reason to go elsewhere.

[@brittanymcdonaldbarr1106]

This is the information buyers need to see before purchase.

[@kooslehlogonolo2423]

Love how Gary involves his team in this video, this can tell you that PREMIER RV is about team.

[@jarredholt5037]

We need more companies like this in the Diesel Motorhome Industry

[@markbennett8685]

I am closing the deal on a motor home next weekend, and after watching this video, now, I understand why everyone calls the money pits. This gentleman quoted thousands and thousands of dollars.

[@kevinmichel9683]

We know those guys well. Jim, Gary, Louie are the absolute best....the other guys are equal to them as well. I highly recommend Premier! Thanks Andrew for highlighting this amazing group of guys!

[@CAROLUSPRIMA]

That guy gives me a good feeling. He doesn’t appear to try too hard to sell me. Maybe he doesn’t have to. I know nothing about this place but I’ll bet it has a good reputation.

[@smacdiesel]

I bought my Magna from Premiere a couple of years ago, they did a remodel and fixed everything. The best buying experience, the knowledge base there is unsurpassed and everybody works very hard. The Country Coach brand are true classics representing the Golden Age of American motor coach production.

[@bbayerit]

Great interview Andrew. Gary of Premier RV was a pleasure to listen to as he gave his expert opinion on maintenance necessities regarding motor coaches. He sounded like an engineer's engineer and is probably a great guy to work for and I would have no problem buying a unit from him and his business.

[@jstans78utube]

Good techs are worth their weight in gold. I have a lot rolling down the road, family onboard, knowing that you folks do it right is everything. I wish all RV dealers were as reputable

[@dogdad5353]

Great video Andrew! They are successful because they highlight and acknowledge the skill and talent of their employees.

[@bille2298]

WOW Andrew....its video's like this that give you waaay more cred !! anyone can show a Motor Coach... BUT stepping out of your box and doing more informative videos like this are very much appreciated....Showing ALL aspects of the luxury Motor Coaches instead of just being a sales guy is far more valuable....

[@teddyrivas1082]

Love your business, no BS, Right to the point, and giving the customer the right information,, and being honest! That's how to keep yourself in business! Perfect! I applaud you 👦guy's! Doing great! Doing it right the first time, and pleasing the customer with honesty and respect for their RV! YOU GUYS ROCK! HATS OFF TO YOUS ABAIN!

[@teddyrivas1082]

Again!

[@curtisnikel6427]

These are wonderful people to deal with. We bought our CC from them over 5 years ago and had a great experience. Since buying we have returned for service and are treated well every time. Who new buying a used coach could be such a solid experience!

[@hotdude655]

Wow this shop is probably the best RV shop in the country. Between all of them they got 100s of years of experience.

[@moonshinexxx420]

Very interesting video thank you both especially Gary for taking the time to talk to Andrew and give us an inside view.

[@gruponemesis]

I can not stress enough the costs of initial maintenance after purchasing from private party. Bought my prevost 1 year ago...20k in maintenance ive done to bring her back to glory. half of that was chassis at a prevost shop cuz ive not the expertise or tools for airbags etc etc. the rest ive done myself...save thousands in labor. She is back to her glory...but more is still needed. I will be painting her in nov...saving 30k there. i also will be going to lithium batts that im gonna build myself as well...again thousands in savings....yet thousands in material. great episode Andrew!!!!

[@bobabooie6389]

I would feel pretty confident buying a country coach off these guys

[@pianomanny1397]

Thanks for this video. It is these types of organizations that would convince me to purchase an RV. There is so much marketing in this industry that people don’t give as much consideration to the downstream service. These guys are great and love what they do. The RV industry should be held to this standard at this level of service for every dealership in the country. All the auto manufacturers have it at a fraction of the cost per vehicle than these products. Great video and thank you to Premier RV.

[@unpilot1]

6:28 Thats my coach with the motorcycle lift! Can't say enough about the folks at Premier....top-notch all the way. Thanks for sharing this video!

[@VitoF111]

Wow, what a great resource for motor home owners. So nice to see quality work. Thanks Andrew.

[@rp1645]

Thank you for talking about service Lube and filters on Diesel RVs. It speaks volumes about having a guy like ( Dave ) 😊❤ With that many years as a Diesel service Technician. This in my Humble opinion is KEY to looking out for all the under working of a RV class A. The owner doesn't see all this part of there Diesel Pusher RVs. MAN so,so important sense that is the parts that see the wear on the Road. There is a HUGE price difference on Diesel, but don't forget the Diesel takes more OIL in pan. On my Detroit Diesel 8V-71, just about 1 Gallon goes into the oil Filter alone. To fill my lower block it take almost 7 gallons. I also own a Detroit Diesel 353. It takes like 4 gallons and that is a baby compared to the massive 8V-71 The 353 still has a huge oil filter housing. My old girls take straight DELO 40 Wt. I keep a block heater on both. I use a magnet heater on 8V-71, it just sticks on lower oil pan, if you don't want to go through the trouble of putting a plug-in type heater like I installed myself on 353 Its just like your home water tank heaters The Detroits have the block hole for them. Boy in cooler weather 🌡️ they both start with Battery at proper voltage so smoothly.

[@byronwarren7779]

Andrew, that was a very thorough chat with Premier RV.....lots of service years with all of those techs and other employees. Yeah would definately have a look at Premier RV if and when buying a coach. Very impressive. Thank you.

[@philw7174]

Very good interview and video. Great video for Premier RV. Thank you Andrew, Gary and Jim. Happy trails!

[@ivanvarykino8202]

This was really an awesome presentation about Premier. Makes me wonder why Country Coach ever failed in the first place. Kind of sad that they made such a good product and so many on the road. But, great to see stories of people who take pride in their work and appear to enjoy what they do.

[@joelfrombethlehem]

Thank you very much for this video, Andrew. There is some excellent information on maintenance and costs was given by the techs.

[@stevecuthbert8856]

Andrew, I am a new motorhome owner it's good to know how we as owners can do some simple checks like the slide seals to catch something before a $200 job turns into 10k nightmare. keep doing these great videos for us owners or future owners.

[@dloneyv8]

Fantastic info! Just started shopping to upgrade our RV. Thanks for putting this video together!

[@jrs4ex]

I know I feel more confident cruising down the freeway knowing I have an annual full inspection and report to go along. These guys are top notch. Commercial vehicles require inspections annually in my area. But an RV can fall into a grey area. These RV’s are large vehicles and deserve the same maintenance and inspection schedules as commercial vehicles. Encounters with DOT/Police always go smoother when you have a clean and safe rig.

[@bseidem5112]

Yes, ALWAYS get your annual.

[@zjitterbug]

Thank you for your extremely valuable videos! You've helped me decide where I want to go to buy my motorcoach, even though I'm in Colorado. I'm going to be jumping into RV living full-time. Between your videos and James' videos (AZ Expert) I've learned so much about the different models, and how they are built. I thought I wanted a brand new one, until I started talking to my car mechanic, who used to drive a Semi, some other RV owners, and of course, watching your channel. I'm liking the looks of that 38' Monaco with the tag axel, but I'll have to see what the beginning of November brings around. Thanks again for your great video style.

[@onetpa]

Really great video, Andrew, thank you. Premier RV is a very impressive shop. The cabinet making is incredible, what beautiful workmanship!

[@dpl2617]

Fantastic video!! Love seeing a competent shop. Just one suggestion: A shop that sells and installs tires should have the equipment and techs able to do alignments !!!!

[@1sgbynum862]

Well done! I will definitely purchase my next RV/Motorhome from Premier RV

[@michaelthomas4125]

If you can afford to fill the tank it’s worth spending money for the maintenance being done, and documentation of maintenance always makes a vehicle worth more on resale.

[@jameskotsch8271]

What a great company and great people who work there.

[@bubbafringman1864]

Love Premier Rv. Sure glad we have them on the west coast.

[@mauricetucker8535]

Very informative video Andrew . Yearly upkeep on your HOME on wheels is very important for a safe ride ! Thanks again and to you and yours be safe and well !

[@rickhodges1731]

Be interesting to compare the annual cost to maintain similar gas verses diesel coaches. As well to compare the features and benefits of the two. We have had both going back to 1986. Have not had a current model gas class A. They have come a long way since the 80's and 90's. Our last diesel was a 2007. The first coach was a new 86 Sportscoach P30 Chassis 454 Chevy with mor-ryde tag. At the time it was a high line gas coach. Was an outstanding coach. Toured all the western states. Zero failures or breakdowns. Diesels were just being developed. The reality is things were far less expensive then than they are now! Over the years we had 1 class A gas, 2 class C gas, 3 diesel pushers and one 45 Teton 5th wheel.

[@jud2820]

3rd time l've come back and watched your video. Can't say enough about listening to experts in the industry, what to look out for and be prepared for. Thanks so much

[@mfowler4651]

I change the oil in my Cummins 5.9 ISB pusher using Rotella T4 15w40 plus filter for under $100 -- 15 quarts

[@gringochoppers]

Good thing I'm a Jack of all Trades and can work on my own vehicles because I'm not rich and able to whip out Thousands for maintenance.

[@garyag45]

These folks are the absolute best rv dealership I have ever been involved with, 2006 CC Inspire. 🤛👍🙏😎🦅🇺🇸

[@BayChurch]

I do it myself..was discourage at first but told myself if I can change my sedan’s oil/filter and generator oil/filter, I can do it on my class a motorhome..👍

[@tkoguy]

$500 to $600 for an oil change, what a joke.

[@burleigh604]

My car garage which i say should be rolled out to many others is that on my email with the report it has a video showing all area checked and highlight where items need changing and why also where the wear and tear is being done a lot. This gives you confidence that its not made up but video evidence too.

[@ghostman6074]

If I ever buy one I’m coming straight to this place periodT!!!

[@6582rg]

Well done Andrew. I’ve been waiting for this one. I love Country Coaches.

[@davidhannan2023]

Another exceptional video! Love to see Premier RV of Oregon back and get the details about what they do and the quality behind their work. Really like the fact that they will steer you in a way that you may not be thinking of but would work out better for you!

[@oreospeedwaggindoesamerica6078]

I started checking out their used coaches on their website after your last video. Now after this one I might have to book a flight to Oregon to look at buying one.

[@patrickgrahn2238]

One of your best vids. Very informative.👍

[@esco1578]

I really appreciate this video. Didn't realize how expensive rv really are.

[@DaveBrandt96]

Andrew, I must tell you that I totally enjoyed this video. In the mid-'80s, I was in the RV business, and my company was such that I could sneak away for a couple of days at a time. A friend of mine owned a dealership in what was then called "Traveland USA" in Irvine, CA, that carried the Country Coach Line. The result was that I would fly up to Junction City, Oregon, pick up a new Country Coach and drive it back to Orange County, California. I truly miss them because they were, without exception, one of the premier coaches in America. I only wish that, as a quite old retiree, I was able to still purchase one of those beautiful used ones as I still love their total commitment to quality but sadly, the budget doesn't allow for this type of expenditure.

[@sherrybyerly4199]

Sorry. RVs are completely out of our

[@jimbooth5486]

This is awesome. At Olathe Ford RV in Gardner Kansas we check everything like them

[@donalarid5483]

You ask the best best questions the information has been extremely helpful as my wife and I are doing our research in buying a class A .thank you!! So helpful.

[@terry3193]

Hi Andrew, this was such an awesome, informative video. I’m so glad to see ou doing some work back in Oregon. I really wish there was a place like this in the Colorado area as we seem to be in desperate need of a competent, knowledgeable shop like this. It’s just not viable to drive my ‘07 Holiday Ram let 45’ Navigator round trip to Oregon with diesel costing $5 per gallon but I’m almost tempted. I hope ou do some more of these type of maintenance related videos. Take care!

[@TheCrazyAztec]

Been WAITING for this video and hope to be cruising in one of these babies Soon ✌🏼

[@gonzaloburgos8642]

That is a great video and great recommendations to keep your RV in great condition Thankyou and great again great video 👍👍

[@davidjackman5773]

Great video, Andrew. I'm curious about repairing the A/C's that seem to be failing so much. All all brands, but I'm most familiar with the Renegade forums. There seems to be a common problem with a copper tube failing, from inferior copper plus inadequate care in bending the tubing. The claim is that a good A/C tech can replace that copper tube with a higher quality tube, add a schrader valve for service, and send the customer on his way. What do you know about this problem and potential solution?

[@johnluck1923]

Wish Premier had a shop in SoCal, thanks for bringing this video to us.

[@steve337]

Big lesson, be honest, do good work and honest pricing. Then watch the work roll in.

[@yragoksel]

Awesome, very informative video, the guy from Premiere was extremely Pleasant and helpful, if I'm in the neighborhood looking for a motorhome up there I'll know where I'll be shopping

[@Lasertrac]

Glad you are spreading the knowledge and connections around. Good decision

[@robertlittle8672]

Andrew, very informative, great staff there,I can tell for sure.I was in boat manufacturing from 1986 to 2020.Now we are looking. Note; I Have watched ALL YOUR VIDEOS. THANKS SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO.!!!

[@thyhangman]

Made me look, already subscribed and liked all 6 videos! 😅 Keep them coming Premier RV!

[@johnswick4593]

There are two types of techs. Those that think they know what they're doing then there are techs that actually know what they are doing. I would not hesitate to take my rig to this company.

[@josephdavis4008]

Awesome interviews with GREAT information! Thanks for putting it out!

[@mikesummerfield5051]

Great video!! Seems like a first class company!!

[@Gagy260]

Andrew, Always great video reviews. Maybe in the works? What I would really like to see, if anyone is working on a heads up drivers display screen. Something more futuristic than what's on some high end cars now.

[@santiagojimenez8912]

Andrew you make absolutely great videos thank you for sharing all those videos because I have a 40 foot motorhome and I learn So much from your videos

[@upintheairstream8116]

Good questions Andrew and great info. We are still in an Airstream, but always think about a Class A.

[@russmarx4396]

Thank you Andrew for the insight thinking on buying a coach and these guys are very knowledgeable thanks again

Great Interview, Andrew… I sub’s Premier… I also wish we had a shop like that on the East Coast…

[@inventorcreator7267]

Great video Andrew and helps so much with my RV life. Re: matching aged cherry, etc....Have your fitter find a Chemcraft dealer or Cabinet supplier that will match the wood perfectly with the new wood to the old wood. There is no need or any acceptance necessary of mismatched wood anymore when you're customizing or repairing locally....it "can" be done. So feel comfortable about customizing what you would like. 35yrs of Audio/Video and Custom Cabinetry on Homes, RV's and Yachts. Thank you Premier RV...wish you were on the east coast as well. I'd gladly bring mine in for many things.

[@patriley9449]

This video confirms what I already thought to be true. I cannot afford to own one of these rigs even if someone gives it to me !

[@hayyarbrough]

Thank y'all

[@billmoore7133]

Well yes I was executive VP at Country coach when they went bankrupt, not sure but that sounds like too much information.

[@robfromtoledo9514]

I owned a 40' Monaco and did all the service myself and still spent around $800 a year to service everything and $4800 for 6 tires. There is always something that needs repaired or replaced. You have all the maintenance of a home and a vehicle in one.

[@MrCapeman1]

20 years in rving every time we brought the RV in it cost $1000... To this day a " camping unit"... wife would ask me.. how many camping units this time

[@tedbosgra1387]

Worked on coaches for years in Canada Michelin are the best for a smooth ride he can shove it with Toyo tires they are absolutely junk.Mich can handle the weather and -40 with no issues

[@kevinsmith5318]

Although i live in Canada i would definitely want to buy a coach from Premier based on this video. I am looking to buy a three season diesel pusher. Have you done a video on how to winterize a coach?

[@henrivanbemmel]

Ok ... great video to share the scope of this, but ... ignoring any financing costs ... Insurance on a $2 million RV must be $2000 a month Now, not only are you going to service it, and you have to budget in more significant repairs and buying improvements. I figure $10,000 a year. If you have to store it, you're not going to park in a farm yard. It's going to some indoor place @$400/month = 5k/year. So, I'm seeing $40k a year before you turn the key and pay for diesel and campsites. I have a 35 ft class A gas and my yearly costs not including camping are usually less than $4k/yr w/o huge major repair. In the end, it depends how much you have in your mattress I guess.

[@MililaniJag]

Great info! Thx!!
