How It's Made Recreational vehicles

[@Chilling4Shillings]

I'm pretty sure they don't solder the frame together. I'm pretty sure that they weld the frame.

[@lewandlo]

No solder is much better hehe

[@cobre7717]

They actually use a 60/40 rosen core lead solder

[@briangillespie4160]

Agreeded

[@glendasue70]

I came to the comments to say. Hope they didnt solder my rv frame together. I knew they were built cheep but danget!

[@UhYeahWhateverDude]

@@cobre7717 Hahaha...that's a scary thought.

[@AskRemy]

and there is the problem - they do all wiring and plumbing before attaching the walls - therefore they are not designed to service from the inside unless you are gumby

[@kevykev38]

She said they "solder" the frame together... LOL solder.....

[@AskRemy]

solder - weld - what's the difference - lol

[@RyanWhitaker32]

13 years later. got anything to say?

[@taylorthompson9752]

Nice 👍🏻

[@G35Jeesh]

This is why you buy used older units. You should see how they're made now days ... slapped together in 4x the speed if not more.

[@Kingfish0000]

Just a small correction: @0:41 the Narrator says "they __solder__ the frame parts together" That's called "welding" 😉 Otherwise, very brief though highly informative. TY!

[@derrickdry9770]

Am I the only one that closed my eyes when they started welding?

[@LifeOnHoth]

yes :D

[@cobre7717]

They were soldering

[@last.chance_24]

no but I did close my eyes when she called it soldering

[@nyc-brooklyngirl8340]

They make the floors so cheap. I see why after 20 years the floor has soft spots. And the roof leaks 🤦‍♀️

[@Thunderrolls87]

Mine was 16 and had to have entire sub floor and joices replaced. Poor workmanship.

[@mariacastro7355]

I'm surprised there is no metal frame on the top part.

[@YesYourRight]

After watching this why would anybody buy an RV. The low leave of craftsmanship and material... those workers should be ashamed. And I know this videos old but I can tell you they only use cheaper materials and cut even more corners.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

glad i wasn't the only one who thought this.

[@Thunderrolls87]

I was told by RV repairman mine is a 2007 he said in 2007 the quality was much better compared to now. That does not say much. But paid notvso great wages and piece rate they are basically forced to slap them together fast by the RV mfrs.

[@NoMoreCandies]

The voice from hell is here again !

[@veryanoynimouse]

Sodder the frame parts together??????? Is sodder some new kind of process that is better than welding?

[@TransistorBased]

veryanoynimouse Are you actually ok?

[@tedschmitt178]

veryanoynimouse it's "solder", not "sodder".

[@ElectronicsForFun]

she said solder. it's basically the same as welding but at much lower temperatures, typically used for copper like copper electrical wiring or copper pipes. you would never use solder on steal though because it doesn't get anywhere near hot enough to penetrate, it would just break right off.

[@roveringreverend]

I know this video is old but you guys are several decades after Europe in constructing RVs...

[@SamC379]

2x2 wood frame ? No thanks. I built my own out of a STEEL frame cargo trailer.

[@nomadman1196]

Same here. 👍

[@ElectronicsForFun]

did she just say they solder the frame together? that doesn't sound right. it looks like they're MIG welding the frame together, not soldering it.

[@Woraug]

Is it just me, or does it sound like a faint motor in the background throughout this video?

[@fullycharged2268]

I think that's supposed to be tool sounds

[@danielblanke9427]

I can’t think of a single reason to wouldn’t want to solder steel together.

[@bricology]

What does "...to wouldn't want to..." even mean? Soldering steel together (well, brazing it) is done with tubing and lugs with very tight clearances between them and the tubing. No RV maker in the world "solders steel together" for the frame; they _weld_ it.

[@silverhorder1969]

Damn they build those things cheap! I bet the mark up is 5x the cost to build!

[@AllForTheGame]

Duh

[@bobbyleglocks1992]

Solder?

[@EpicToTheLimit]

they are using a mig welder

[@cobre7717]

You can solder with a mig welder. These people in this video were definitely 100 welding.... but you can solder with a mig welder.

[@thomassmith2058]

Wait, wait, wait; WHAT? They SOLDER THE FRAME PARTS TOGETHER???? That's what she said!!!!

[@willsmith475]

RV’s are so cheaply made theses days

[@emilyhouse9642]

She said, "solder"........*enter butthead voice

[@sophierobinson2738]

Definitely not a THOW.

[@BeeEmmW]

@kevykev38 she didn't say solder she said SADAR

[@MrBlackbutang]

Jjjjjunk !

[@raymondpruitt3399]

A very expensive piece of crap.

[@bricology]

Crappy, crappy workmanship and materials. Also -- "...a thin wood called 'luan'..." No, it's called "plywood", and it _some_ varieties are made from wood called "luan" (pronounced "luh-WAN"). What they are showing is _not_ luan.

[@Laxpowertoo]

Nooooo! It's her again! Stop her talking someone!

[@BLANKMEMORYDATA]

sodder=solder

[@MrBlackbutang]

Don’t buy one.
