​@@JoshtheRVNerd To be honest, I have to claim ignorance where destination RV's are concerned. So, the contrasts that you made against 5th Wheel RV's really stuck out. You really do give a lot of great info in your videos, Josh. Useful info, too! Maybe you should rebrand this channel, or start a parallel channel named "RV 411 w/ Professor Josh R.V. Nerd" or just "Haylett R.V. University". ;)

“Head room in the bedroom” That’s what she said 😂🤣. You’re adorable Josh. This is why I’m watching a destination rv video when I’m not even in the market for one. I really love that you talk about logistics of where you’re putting the model and insurance issues etc. I would have never even considered those things. Your videos are informative AND entertaining.

We try. Some places see it as the customer's responsibility to have pre-checked stuff like that, but the way we see it there's no way most clients would even know to look into potential problems like insurance/detachable tongue. It's OUR job to make sure they're getting the right one the first time

These videos are priceless to most any buyer, rather a first time purchase or a 2nd, 3rd, etc. I appreciate your hard work, explaining the details, and the time you put into all of your videos.

Hmmmm. We live in southwestern Florida, just south of Tampa. We are looking for a weekend/getaway place to use in a resort/RV park just north of Tampa, in Pasco County. We don't have grandkids and our kids are late 30's so no need for the loft(s) however the upgrades intrigue us and we would like them. With the unit being a Florida based unit, there is NO DOUBT that the 2nd A/C unit, and more preferable would be heat pumps for the 2 weeks of winter, would be a requirement. Your videos are super helpful, thanks for your honest and complete reviews.

There's more of them out there than I think folks realize. Much smaller market vs. common trailer/fw's, but plenty still.

Factory 2nd air is usually cheaper, though we'll do our best to try to balance that for a client. RV Warranties typically do require the RV to be at a dealership. We offer local mobile RV service, but understand factory warranties do not usually cover the cost of service calls So basically.. it's something you need to budget/consider before the purchase.

Josh we purchased a 2020 Cedar Creek Cottage 40CCRS, made by Forest River. It is similar to the Grand Lodge, but even a step up above it in luxury. We have tent camp, had 2 Jayco pop up campers, and a Jayco Designer 5th wheel, which all of them were nice, but each was a step up. We have a lot on the river and bought this one for our last camper. We love this camper and it is a second home. Everybody that drives by compliments it and is amazed of the luxury and cost. A 5th wheel equivalent was the Cedar Creek Champagne for 30,000 more since these are made by Forest River I just wonder why are you not carrying them. Thanks

I would move the trailer twice a year possibly and rarely 3 is that justified for a destination trailer? Or would a fith wheel be a better option?

It’s really a personal / subjective kind of thing Dusty. There’s no WRONG answer here - just the one that works best for you. In that case I would lean to fifth wheel, but that’s me

Another ❓I see that Wildwood Lodge offers the 4002Q model the 2 full room and bath, exactly what I need yet I did not see that design offered in the grand Lodge floorplan would that 4002Q be offered in the grand Lodge designation floorplan and well.

My question is does adding second air at the dealership void the manufacturer warranty or should you order the rv or destination trailer from the manufacturer that way. cause if for some reason there is a problem I don't want to be stuck between the manufacturer and the dealer.

@JoshtheRVNerd 4 жыл бұрын
This is a great question and I'm surprised nobody has ever asked it before! So you know there's never a case where you straight "Void your warranty" -- it's not an "all or nothing" kind of thing. Modifying an RV in one area or another may affect *that area* of the warranty So the answer to your question really depends on what is deemed the source of the defect. We back all our work here for a year, so either way you're covered.

Neither is better.

Question & Comment ... Question: Is an 'on demand water heater' a possible option on either model? Comment: My personal opinion is that any unit capable of two A/C's should actually have two. Regardless whether it will be in a very hot climate or not. One, it will allow the sharing of the workload, especially in extreme heat and .. Two, it will still keep you somewhat comfortable if 'one' decides to quit working.

*WATER HEATER:* No factory on-demand options available, but we can handle that here at the store. Swapping out the Grand Lodge's XL water heater for the On-Demand model might be a bit trickier since it's not set up for something remotely similar currently *A/C SYSTEM:* TY for the feedback. I agree completely

I generally really love your reviews, but this time I was frustrated by the fact that, out of a 24 minute review, you spent the first 10 minutes talking before we even saw then inside of the review. This was meant to be a comparison; not a discussion on the pros and cons of removeable tongues!

I respect what you're saying, but it's also our job to make sure customers are proactively notified of potential pitfalls as well. I sometimes need to trust a viewer to skip about with the trackbar if they are only interested in specific aspects/areas of the RV.
