Ember RV Factory Tour!!

[@terryhaynes1596]

Hopefully Ember will make a large dual axle 25+’ TT SOON!

[@nickmiller7680]

Agreed. I love the look and style they've got going, but for now they're all a bit small for my preference.

[@416Burrito]

Some of those single axle trailers are $60,000+. Can you imagine what a 25' trailer from them would cost?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

So next saturday you'll get to see my early access footage to exactly what you just described :)

[@terryhaynes1596]

@@JoshtheRVNerd oh boy, excited yes I am. 🙀

[@leanngoodall7602]

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.

[@razorwired130]

So glad we are finally seeing proper stabilizing jacks instead of the crappy scissor jacks! Good job Ember!

[@Sunshine-mp7iu]

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!! 👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻

[@knucklesandwich8786]

Ember is not the only company doing good work. You need to see Outdoors RV factory tour. That is quality work.

[@AByrne]

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.

[@sgt.grinch3299]

Agreed

[@amateur_football9751]

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

[@joshuaalvino5900]

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!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Wow.. wow man. Thank you

[@Jim-iv7yq]

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

[@dannyvz2738]

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.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah they’re a new company but they aren’t a bunch of newcomers by any means

[@michaeldierks3708]

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!

[@icare7151]

Double lock nut a must, upgrade to disc brakes.

[@WanderingCarl]

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!!

[@doubled8247]

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.

[@terryglover6361]

Love these factory tours! Fascinating to see the process. Again, great job informing AND entertaining us, Josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

My pleasure, Terry!

[@richardbalding1101]

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.

[@americanrambler4972]

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.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah that chassis system literally is THE basis of Ember's entire company. They quite literally built around it

[@pattigrigsby9762]

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.

[@daleinarizona1561]

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.

[@ohhmg2130]

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

[@billhughes4731]

This is incredible that you got this access. Awesome info for us, and it shows they are proud of their process.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Lot of factories are pretty proud of their work and welcome me to come showcase what they do

[@purplebrick]

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!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY for the nylon nut suggestion

[@danjudge5214]

Can it be ordered and delivered at the factory?

[@razorwired130]

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.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Hmm.. not a terrible idea

[@slalomking]

That is a great idea

[@bootsiewhite]

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!

[@BrianWagnerTheITGuy]

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!

[@Jmat40]

I love the factory tours Josh. It's fascinating seeing how RV's are built. Very interesting.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

My pleasure :)

[@loriw2661]

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.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You won't have to wait long. Literally next saturday I'm showcasing their first one

[@wheresbrent]

I love the synthentic floors. No more dry rot if you get moisture penetration!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Same is true for the entire structure really the roof is basically a sidewall... except it's twice as thick

[@steventanner864]

Ember is setting a new standard of build quality.

[@bryana1942]

Love it. It’s really cool to see Ember using the stabilizers now.

[@CTP1111]

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

[@dominica2765]

2023 will have dual axles and a few other changes I spoke to the company personally myself

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Next saturday you'll get your first look :)

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Friday. 😉

[@ronbernier6377]

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!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Agreed! Tracking elec issues is murder

[@derrickstableford8152]

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.

[@daviddrury9869]

I'm impressed. Can't wait to see the 26 to 30 foot models.

[@Murasamefox]

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

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

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: kzbin.info/aero/PLUT5NkY-l88wwo1dWEFta5iC7VZI7o97T 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

[@Murasamefox]

@@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

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!

[@bond008a9]

Manufacturer / Dealer service is the achilles heel of RV ownership. I hope Ember does a better job than most other RV companies. Would like to see more floorplans with more functionality - dual axle/ oven option / dual sinks / non Murphy bed options etc. I like the idea of less maintenance. If they truly have QC that may set them apart from most manufacturers. The Ember price point is laughable and will be their downfall - $54K single axle with some cheesy two burner stove no oven no dinette etc? C'mon now 🤣
