The hidden costs of RV ownership | Is it really worth it?

[@DevynTristan]

Trading success requires technical analysis skills, discipline, and emotional maturity. It’s not about timing the market, but being prepared for it. Sophia Haney’s wisdom, daily trade signals, and my commitment to learning have led to steady increases in daily earnings to over 16BTC. Keep up the great work!

[@JackRehand]

I hope this inspires someone to start investing today, regardless of age. I wasn’t financially free until my 40s, but I’m still in my 40s with a third property, passive income, and four of my five goals. Investing in the financial market was a wise choice. Thanks for sharing this incredibly inspiring video!

[@jamesanabel-w5u]

Diversify your income streams to boost your earnings. This year, I’ve successfully done this by investing while I work. I invested through Sophia Haney, the CNBC anchor who often mentioned her. She invested my startup capital in less than three months after getting certified.

[@JudithRadonlds]

I have been quite cautious to get involved in this specific industry, but I believe that this is the perfect time to do so. I went to a seminar where the speaker discussed how lnvesting in cryptocurrencies may result in gains in the near future of well over $4.5 million. I have to know which coin to buy with.

[@brickPalmerm-ki5er]

I invested across major markets and follow Sophia’s rules, a great financial advisor. My portfolio has grown by 20-30% monthly while my IRA stagnates. Her exceptional diversification skills have not limited my portfolio to my choices; they reflect her placements. She provided me with financial independence.

[@WaltRsDave-cs4zc]

That’s great! Your investment advisor must be excellent. I’ve read about people who improved their financial stability with investment advisors. Can you tell me who your broker is? I have $500,000 set aside for the stock market to boost my income.

[@Razamanaz77]

NIRVC is hands down the best RV company out there! And not to mention, no one does walk throughs like Angie, I have been watching her videos for at least 10 years now. You have a beautiful coach by the way! Safe travels 😊

[@fuelyourwander]

Angie is the best! We agree!

[@raoulroberts2024]

Angie and her chaptered videos are gold! Those videos are detailed, down to the test drive.

[@fuelyourwander]

😀😀👍

[@NJ-Cathie]

$4k for all that work is extremely reasonable. It is great when you can find a reputable service provider for your RV.

[@fuelyourwander]

We agree! 😊😊

[@francoismassin8649]

Angie ! Woohoo. The ultimate sales manager 🤩

[@fuelyourwander]

Angie is a rockstar! 😊😊

[@timaz1066]

It will be well worth your time investigating and installing one. I spent the time and installed one three years ago on my now 25 year-old Monaco Dynasty.

[@Tom.and.Missy.Northam]

Love NIRVC, We bought from them almost 5 years ago now. Very good experience and great to work with.

[@fuelyourwander]

Glad to hear you had a good experience with them! We do too.😊

[@dcasandman]

That’s pricey, but we just did 40k chassis service on Mercedes 2500. It was $3500 and they didn’t touch any part of the coach. That was Brakes, Transmission, fluids, wipers, filters, and lube everything. So that they did the whole Class A coach too is amazing

[@fuelyourwander]

Excellent point! It is all relative! 😊😊

[@Sabra-m1e]

Thank you for bringing us this place for our service center

[@fuelyourwander]

Thanks for watching! 😊😊

[@kar-r5i4f]

I bought a 2006 Class A Fleetwood Bounder 38S diesel pusher with a 300 C7 CAT engine almost 17 years ago used for $30,000 It now has over 95K miles, and never has this unit been to any repair shop. I believe that owning a RV of any kind if you want to save money you better be a DAMN good mechanic period, understand electrical systems. i still have all the same components like stove, water heater furnace, ac units ECT, that has never broke down and we live in it full time. Yes we have spent money for new furniture, Bedding ECT, our biggest expense is 6 new tires ever 10 years at a cost of 4k installed. We have had the front windshield crack, a few times , but our insurance paid for those windows, no out of pocket. We have been lucky, but I still say the most important thing is PM MAINTENANCE.

[@fuelyourwander]

That’s a great perspective - it sounds like you’ve done a lot of work yourself and it’s paid off!

[@johnbarton1878]

I've used the one in Nashville to have my rettrobands installed. While there they found one of my hubs had damaged lugs and hub. Jumped thru hoops to repair and had me back on the road in 3 days. If I have to let someone work on my motorhome they are at the top of the list.

[@fuelyourwander]

That’s great to hear! They seem to really care about their customers.😊😊

[@sickjohnson]

That shop looked awesome! Glad you found a good place to get the service done plus fix the few things you had concerns about. I was expecting you to get those fancy run-flats devices...they looked very good. Got to see 11% of Axle for 2 seconds...😁

[@fuelyourwander]

Axle didn’t get to spend too much time in the shop…. He was stuck back in the hotel! 😀

[@sickjohnson]

[@shamelessstacib7351]

It cost $10000 for a few new gaskets on my 20 year old BMW 745Li, sooooo this is reasonable for something like 12 times the size 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@fuelyourwander]

100% agree! Great perspective! 😊😊

[@bodriver9719]

All of this is great info. Thanks for the video. As for the cost, while it seems high, you would welcome this price over the cost of an annual inspection on a personal, single engine piston aircraft. Trust me on this!!! 🤑

[@fuelyourwander]

We’ve never owned a plane, but I’m sure the costs are insane! 🤪

[@PatriciaCentralFlorida]

Awesome price! Well worth the money

[@carlosandrescaicedovallejo6034]

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

Have them look at your jeep while at it….lol…..I forget the girls name, but her walkthroughs are excellent/best (okay Angie)……I guess she is a woman and not a girl…..lol…PLEASE do not tell Angie their prices are reasonable……I always say “you will always get F_cked with costs at any marina doing work on your boat, but are you happy with the service”…..Thats all that matters for me “service and finding preventive things”……Seems like a go to place for RV’s…..Did you buy your RV from them? Chris, remember happy wife (I can finally say this), happy life……..

[@ericramey6743]

We did not purchase our Ventana 4334 from NIRVC because the floor plan was being discontinued and availability was limited. However, we rely on NIRVC in Washington, DC (technically located in Manassas, VA) for all our service needs. Even though this location is temporary and lacks some of the extra amenities found at other NIRVC locations, one thing remains consistent-the exceptional customer service, clear communication, and the feeling of being treated like part of the NIRVC family.

[@fuelyourwander]

It's great to hear that NIRVC continues to deliver on customer service, even at their temporary location.😊😊

[@DLVRYMN]

High marks for this shop. Thanks again for another informative video.

[@fuelyourwander]

We agree! We are big fans of this shop too…

[@JayNagel]

Premier rv in junction city (eugene) oregon is a great option too. You should stop by and check them out if you are in the area.

[@fuelyourwander]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@timaz1066]

I would recommend to Chris to look into the FASS to protect the complete injection system on the engine.

[@fuelyourwander]

Thanks for the tip. I have heard about FASS but never spent anytime researching it. 👍

[@JakobSmuk]

I love the vid

[@fuelyourwander]

What was causing the rattle noise by the fan clutch?

[@fuelyourwander]

Fan clutch appears to be bad - or going bad. I have a new one so I can replace it while we are parked in Palm Springs.

[@DoctorSkillz]

Chief, I appreciate the insight into your experience with NIRVC. What did they find with the concerns you had with the fan clutch?

[@fuelyourwander]

They recommended a new fan clutch… We have one now which I plan to replace this month.

[@TexasSteele67]

Super Informative' great information

[@fuelyourwander]

Thank you!

[@cmoore7821]

Watching you in the service bay, underneath your coach where car dealerships won't allow you go. And then it hit me why they do that. It isn't insurance. It because car dealerships don't want you to see the repairs that they don't do that you pay them for. They don't call them stealerships for nothing.

[@fuelyourwander]

That's why I really trusted the guys at NIRVC. They answered every question, showed me everything they were doing, they had nothing to hide because they are good at what they do! 😊😊

[@scottkeasler9317]

I have to ask what was the rattle you were hearing around the fan clutch and also, did you find out anything on why the previous failures?

[@fuelyourwander]

They suggested the fan clutch be replaced for the rattle. I have a new one on order and will do it now that we are parked in Palm Springs. They didn't think it was an immediate concern.

[@ernestbethel2035]

Just dropped 7k on our 10 year old rig. Took her in for an oil change and they found several issues. They are pricey to own.

[@fuelyourwander]

We hear ya! Its worth it in the long run! 😊😊

[@carlosandrescaicedovallejo6034]

Can the wood colors be chosen to your liking?

[@fuelyourwander]

Yes. They have many options to choose from.

[@Sabra-m1e]

What new vehicle did you get?

[@jasoncruz3506]

I’m definitely gonna check them out for my Super C future maintenance closest location to me was DC any news when their new location will be opening up

[@fuelyourwander]

Highly recommend them. We were very impressed. No news yet on new location 😊

[@admranger]

Sounds like a cool shop! Hopefully you didn't stay in a hotel up by Nellis. That's not the, ummm, most attractive area in Vegas. The Element in Summerlin allows dogs, and it's near Red Rock for lots of hiking and other activities. Plus Summerlin has a ton of parks and trails Axle could have explored.

[@steves3688]

For me I drive class c's for the exact reason you guy6s discussed. I don't trust others to work on my stuff. Class C I can do 95% of the work myself...and that 5% would only be bodywork...the rest I can do...If I had to pay for that stuff I likely wouldn't be rving thru the years,

[@fuelyourwander]

I hear you. It is much simpler to manage the work on the class C. 😊

[@clarkharms]

I wonder what your total costs for 30k miles is. Include all maintenance and anticipated maintenance, repairs, fuel, resort rv park fee’s, and the big one depreciation. I have the money to rv just not sure if it is worth the expense especially when considering the quality of life.

[@fuelyourwander]

In our experience and the way we RV, it costs us about the same as living in a house. But the difference is a house typically appreciates in value, and RV never will. But we look at it as an investment in experiences. It’s certainly not cheap but worth it to us for now!

[@carlosandrescaicedovallejo6034]

the exterior colors of the bus too

Wow guys, that price seems very very reasonable, where you happy with those figures? They look a very knowledgeable outfit, and if you the customer feel reassured, that a big plus, piece of mind a big thumbs 👍 up, awesome video 📹 really great viewing 👍 ❤❤

[@fuelyourwander]

We agree! It seemed very reasonable for all of the activities they performed.

[@davidcrawford219]

Please design a coach / RV for a single person . Designed around a Heated Sleep Recliner. Don't want seating for 8, thank you. 🐬💦

[@fuelyourwander]

We completely agree, a single person RV would be great!

[@Kevin-pj7rl]

Since I live here in Lebanon TN it will be a good time to sell your well kept used coach to me and you can buy your new one to drive to MI from here.....LOL Im in the process of wanting to sell house and move to RV full time. No I dont want the JEEP!!!!! I want to move back to MI since that is wjere all my family is since I lost my wife a couple months ago. Would love to meet you both while in town for sure. Fairgrounds are 10 minutes from my house.

[@fuelyourwander]

That sounds like a great plan for you!

[@jillchenicek9197]

Where did you stay in Vegas. Would have loved to meet you.

[@fuelyourwander]

We stayed at a hotel near NIRVC since we were getting the coach serviced.

Hi 👋

[@fuelyourwander]

Thanks for stopping by! 😊😊

[@davidcrawford219]

4 grand, i can stay at a resort for a month 😮

[@fuelyourwander]

Yeah not cheap. And that’s just maintenance 😳

[@DanchoM63]

Why would I pay 2k for registration??

[@fuelyourwander]

It’s an exclusive event put on by NIRVC. Costs money to do the event and it includes a lot like 4 nights of RV camping, all meals, nightly entertainment, educational seminars, etc. You get that back if you buy an RV at the expo or within a year of attending. Incentive to have serious buyers attend. After attending lots of RV shows, we wish we would’ve bought ours at an event like this one

[@XavierZinkel]

$4,000? They saw you coming 😂😂😂

[@fuelyourwander]

They did see us coming, we scheduled an appointment. The value was far more than the price. 😊😊

Question, did they pull any codes from the ECU or TCU? Awesome video with a lot of detail! Angie seems like a very genuine person and this video proved it!

You just need to have millions really to own one ! No I don’t have millions or a motor coach!

[@hoppy6663]

I have a grand design moment 351 and a diesel truck which I purchased in 2020 and 2019 I’m under 130,000 give or take , with the prices I’m seeing on line today you would be crazy to get into camping with out having millions! I would not want to replace what I have now by today’s prices! So yes you do need millions for these huge motor coaches you are showing in this video!
