Josh, I joined the channel to learn about RVs, but I stay because you teach me so much more... How a business runs, how an industry runs, how to be inclusive and kind, how to be honest, how to stay positive when things are rough, how to be a Dad and husband, how to stay safe, how to treat others fairly... I could go on. Thanks for all these lessons and more. I'll be sticking with you.

[@daleinarizona1561]

Josh, one thing I have always enjoyed about your videos is how honest you are when comparing different RV’s. I know you’re not comfortable with this change but I still hope you will continue to have success in your business future. Keep putting one foot in front of another. I am hoping to be a customer when we get closer to MY retirement. Thanks for your help and stay close to your family. It’s hard for you but it will be hard for your dad too.

Josh I'm emotionally torn. Love your character,channel and content content.

[@chrisanthony7478]

Josh, you have been such a blessing to the RV community with your videos. I personally learned SO MUCH watching your videos and learning so many details of what to look for in a rv. "You don't know what you don't know," and you and your family's decision to educate and be transparent with the rv community has been tremendous in helping create a more educated rv buyer/owner. In my opinion, this goodwill created is the best asset Haylett had, and we all hope Bish understands this and continues to build on it. We are with you brother, and look forward to a bright future! 😎

TY Chris. MORE TO COME!!

Looking forward to it all, Josh! I think that you're going to be a huge part of the future success of this new Bish's location! Btw... completely tangential... are you aware of how much you positively impact people? Not just at the RV dealership, but also anyone who watches your videos. You're like a nextdoor neighbour, whom we would all invite over for a BBQ, or for a get-together... share a glass of wine, or beer... and just have a regular good time. It's your personality, Josh. That's what keeps the 143K+ subscribers coming back. That... plus your honest and upfront information... as well as (queue the Barry White music for the ladies) your sexy Dad-bod! 🤪 I'll raise a couple of pints of cheer to you and all the success in the New Year and beyond 🍻😋👍

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

_"are you aware of how much you positively impact people?"_ *No.. No I'm really not.* I get why that should be more obvious to me, but from my perspective I'm usually just working alone. Even when I meet someone in person it's just me and 2-4 people usually. It's always small scale. I never _see_ that bigger picture. I see the numbers on the screen here but that's not quite the same as a personal connection I think. Truly appreciate what you're saying here

When you do have a chance to start introducing staff, I think it would be really nice if you spotlighted your sales staff. Then for those of us from out of town call to talk to a sales representative, we could ask for the one that seems to have the personality that would mesh the best.

There’s a new beginning waiting for you, your parents, the customers and your employees.

Look back on your time at Haylett not with sadness, but with happiness and remembrance of all the good times you had for that is something that can never be taken away from you. Always remember the old adage: You can't keep a good man down! Warmly wishing you and your family the very very best this coming year!

So many other vids on campers are just people giving just enough info to sell something. Not with you, my man.

[@rsmartin68]

From a buyers point of view, you doing videos of more brands is a very,very good thing. I have watched a whole lot of videos of other brands done by other dealers, some do a fairly good job, others skip soooo much information leaving the viewer with more questions than answers. I would have never considered buying some brands, as the local dealers where I am don't carry them, but now I not only know about them, but I really KNOW about them. So my first, unplanned and unexpected trip out to see you and the gang didn't work out a nice as we had all hoped, but that by no means I won't be back, and I'm sure as heck not going to stop watching and learning.

Josh, videos like these and the Haylett Way are the reason I came to your location. We live in the RV capital of the world and towed our ‘19 Apex Nano to your service center to have the WDH evaluated on our ‘21 Traverse. When my wife and I looked into a buying a used camper after sleeping in a tent for over 20 years, (not consecutively) I noticed the Haylett logo sticker next to the door. I told the owner that I watch that Josh guy on KZbin for information. The previous owner said they did the same thing when they bought it new. Zach from one of your previous videos looked at the hitch on our Traverse and told me he wouldn’t change a thing and if he took it all apart, it would look the same when he put it back together. You can’t find service like that! In return, I went in the store and ordered a cover and other items for the Nano. Best of luck on your new adventure and I don’t think your fans are going anywhere!

[@whereman1199]

I’m definitely excited to see the next chapter on where this will take everyone and yourself to see all the new and amazing experiences that you will achieve to learn and grow thank you deeply for everything that you do have a wonderful New Years and ps you rock !!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Man.. thank you 😊

[@randallh9366]

Thanks for these updates, and for being real with the conversations. Business operates on relationships, the more healthy they are the more likely success will follow. Josh, you have brought a personal touch to this industry which is greatly appreciated. All the best to you, your family and the Haylett family going forward.

[@chrisgay7104]

Josh, looking forward to what you have moving forward. It was your videos that got my wife and I interested in a camper. It turned out to be the best years of our marriage before she passed away unexpectedly last year. I thank you for producing videos that got us out there to make the memories that my son and I will never forget. Thank you, Chris

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Oh my gosh. So sorry to hear that. Have you chosen to continue camping since?

[@chrisgay7104]

@@JoshtheRVNerd We had just purchased our 2nd camper but my son and I chose to sell it because it would not be the same. I definitely will buy another one and your videos keep me motivated to do that. It was too hard to camp in the same one.

[@Chad-zv5jf]

I’ll still be watching. It’s great to see someone so passionate about what they do.

[@jameskennedy673]

Josh, if We were closer to you than here in Texas, We would give you a great Big Texas hug, but We’re not so it’ll have to be a imaginary one. With you being a down to earth, honest, kind & caring human being, that’s one of the reasons that we watch you, plus man kind isn’t perfect. So my verbal adopted little brother, keep on doing what you have been doing all along with all of videos. We’ll be patient with you. 🙏🙏for y’all. We 😥😥also. Josh 👍👍👍👍👍👍have a blessed day today and God Bless, keep’m coming, stay warm, enjoy some time of. Have a safe Happy New Year

[@Cohiba2]

your not crying i'm crying.. or wait is that the other way around.. Congrats again and look forward to the new and improved future content.. Your love for your job and your videos even if they seem repetitive shows through and probably one of the many reasons people keep watching.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah someone's cuttin' onions over here

[@jeffstallings8737]

Do you know the name of the new channel. I would still like to thank you for the honesty and sincerity. You have not let anyone down! I still plan on buying an rv from you! Even though I could buy in Meridian which is 15 minutes away I and my wife fell in love with the Haylett heart!! Can’t wait to meet you in person good sir, God Bless!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Not a new channel. You’re still here. Just swapped the names Ty for joining me Jeff. I’ll shout next time I am traveling and hopefully we can meet

[@elainelamle2086]

Whew! Glad you aren’t going anywhere! Enjoy your videos & information! Looking forward to seeing what you have for us in the future!

[@rodf.7849]

Haylett has been a mainstay business in Coldwater for a long time. I will be sad to no longer see the name and logo on 12. OTOH, I too am excited to see a new business interest come here though. I hope it all works out. I am sure it will.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Bought my first car back when it was just Haylett auto. Then my second. And my third. And my fourth lol

[@tedcharp]

Thanks for update Josh. Everything will work for y’all. Thanks my friend👍👍

[@dougstafford9499]

All the best to you, Unc. Josh I wanna thank you too! You are whom we turn to for honest RV information with a touch of humor. God bless, my friend.

[@monicalifornia_]

You brought us all to tears Josh. You have a lot of faithful followers (and, im sure, customers) who will stick with you.

[@robertbrenner5316]

Josh, thank you for all of your excellent informative and entertaining videos. I look forward to many more. As a recent Haylett customer (2020 Cougar 26RKS) I do ask that you do a video on how/if current customers are effected by the transition to Bish's. Thanks again and good luck to you and all of the Haylett family in the future.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Pretty easy. Haylett customers are now Bish customers. You now have more places to call home if the need arises and you automatically become members of our diamond club. I will get more details on this out, but you’ll enjoy discounts on parts, labor, and no cost annual rv inspections and winterizations!

[@pamgrauerholz9403]

Be Blessed in the New Year! Thank you for all your honesty. We were blessed to get to visit Haylett for my bucket list and thank you from the bottom of my heart for the hats. Remember, when one door closes another one opens!

[@patsycraven3972]

Josh you have and are the best! So glad to have meet you and get a picture with you when we got our trailer earlier in his year (4/21) good tears and Happy New Year, here is too better things to come 💪🏼🙏🏻🥰❤️ we love Haylett and as longs as your staff is still there, we will love the new name also!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Ty Patsy and congratulations on your new diamond club status!! As an existing Haylett customer you auto-join the club :)

[@michellefoster7718]

I wasn’t expecting to cry either, but my heart is overwhelmed for you. I watch you from across the country in Florida, but I feel like I am going through it with you. You are going to come out bigger, better and stronger and we are praying for your transition to be smooth and unwavering. And on a personal note, What God brings you to He will see you through. Happy New Year, Josh and Haylett family.

[@nancyross3118]

Josh you are the reason I’m into RVing! Hubby thought I was insane watching you from across the country in Florida. After so much wavering over many years watching you we bought a used class A. I will follow you no matter what name is on the sign on the building. Don’t stop doing what you do! Your insights into camping and always changing industry are a big difference. Thanks Josh!!!!!

[@icare7151]

Change is guaranteed. Positive change is the goal as bumps are expected, so buckle up we’re going in. 🙂

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Exactly. Change will always happen. It takes work to make sure it's a good change. But put in the work and it could be GREAT

[@footstepsonearth1715]

So the real question is, "How do I get a Haylett Hat?". Always good to have you keep us informed of all the changes not just with the Biz change. Happy New Year to all of you and the Fam!!! Bummer on the Hat!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I wish we had some. We're just flat out :(

[@AdventureWithRaRa]

While we've never met and I'm not much of a commenter, your heart really does shine through. Thanks for sharing so transparently through this whole transition. It just proves the "real" we have seen up to now really is real! Just want to say "love you man!" as weird as that may seem... Have a blast with the new stuff and I hope you get to enjoy a little break as well.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY Tamara. Nice to hear from you :) Maybe just tap that like button now and then if commenting isn't your thing :)

[@michellefoster7718]

Tamara, I know how you feel. I felt weird commenting at first. I really just started watching Josh and other RV reviewers because my husband and I are in the market for our first RV. Josh’s guy-next -door persona just shines through his videos and his information base has been a huge help in know info what to look for and deciding what to buy. I comment just so Josh knows how he has affected my life across the miles. I can’t wait to finally get my RV in January and tell Josh all about it.

[@paulparsons5930]

Great job and look forward to continuing watch and make a purchase in the next few years. Always a joy to see what’s going on.

[@johnhenon1464]

Josh i want to wish you and family and your work family a HAPPY NEW YEAR. Wish you all the best in you next chapter in the RV BUSINESS

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY John! Happy New Year!

[@tjztyger]

"Josh the RV Nerd" is THE Gold Standard in online RV showcasing. No matter what flag is flying over the facility, YOU, sir, are the smiling face of the company. Bish is lucky to have you and the Haylett team, and I hope they appreciate & respect what your father has built. I doubt there's even one viewer who disagrees with me on this. Regardless of who signs your paycheck, I can see only great things for the future of the Nerd. Happy New Year, young man!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Appreciate that. Ty :)

[@richardbrock80]

I'm still purchasing my first 5th wheel from Bish's RV in Coldwater Michigan! Driving all the way from Port St Joe Fla to complete the transaction ! Yes, I'll pass a lot of RV dealers on the way, but I'm going to someone I feel I can trust

[@steveegbert3554]

Good job, looking forward to seeing what's new

Good luck Josh, we enjoy your videos and learned a lot when were in a market for a new camping trailer we won’t think twice in buying from u,CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR DAD ON HIS RETIREMENT 👏

[@w4gle1963]

We are here with you Josh! Just keep being Uncle josh and keeping us up to date on what is going on at Coldwater and with the industry. As Todd from "Switch It Up" says, "It's Fine, Everything Is Fine!" There will be some Hic-Up's, but it will all work out in time. Looking forward to 2022 and seeing what happens at Bish's RV Coldwater, MI.

[@brownwahyu]

You are one of the most amazing people on KZbin. My husband and I have watched so many of your videos. You have cheered us up when we may have been feeling down or stressed out. You remain the hero of Haylett RV.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Man Nadine.. you almost got me tearing up again over here. TY so much for your kindness today. Have a great weekend! :)
