I Bought A Luxury 5th Wheel RV From Copart I Hate Thieves

I like to see this attitude man. You have skills, but more importantly you are willing to get things done instead of complain. Respect on that. Good luck

[@ekoe9034]

he complained the whole video about things that were stolen. justifiable to be bothered but to say he doesn't complain after watching this video is silly

[@charlesalaniz5296]

If the water gets anywhere near the bottom of the RV they’ll total it out cause of the mold the insurance did that with our new RV when Hurricane Harvey hit us in Beaumont Texas

[@jamacamecrazy5393]

[@TheJroddude]

How much did he pay? How much were repairs? How much is it worth now?

[@BradCulberson]

All the electronics may have been broken from flood and removed by the shop that did the repair estimate to get prices.

[@archdukeofsynth]

Nah, the original owner probably stole them to sell on eBay knowing the insurance adjuster would probably not notice.

[@Joe-vp5sp]

This is what happens a lot.

[@nncoco]

My guess too. He got paid out and a little bonus for later.

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

that's what I was thinking as well....

[@evilutionltd]

archduke the owner “stole” from himself. Errrrr!

[@zzanatos2001]

Instead of selling your old house, you should have rented it out and let the renters keep building up your equity. You could have taken out a home equity loan to pay for the RV. Then when your new house is finished, you could sell the RV and keep your old house as an investment property. Once the old house was paid off, you could have used the rent to buy another investment property. Once you get 7 or 8 houses with no mortgages and collect $10,000 per month in rent, you could retire.

[@lindalai9092]

That's how my Father retired and he lived a good life off of his real estate investments. I would never consider buying any RV.

[@teknowil]

you mean let renters shit on the floors. beat holes in drywall. tear doors off. make a skylight with a shot gun.have 5 dogs 10 cats a goat and a ferret..so ya renters

[@thekingsilverado9004]

Todays renters sure as hell ain't yesterdays renters.

[@zzanatos2001]

That's why you do a credit check, verify employment/income, get references, have them sign a contract, interview them thoroughly, and get them to agree to frequent property inspections. If you rent to military families and have any problems, all you have to do is contact their first sergeant or unit commander's office. Also - if you charge at least $100 more than similar rentals in the same area, it weeds out all the broke scumbags. It also helps to find someone who is looking for a long-term rental and offer a small discount for multi-year contracts. The one downside to renting to military families is if they get orders to move to another base - they have a legal right to void the lease without paying a penalty (but they still have to give notice, and they're still subject to a pre-move inspection and can forfeit their security deposit if they don't leave the property clean and undamaged.) Worst case scenario, they leave the place filthy and cause some serious damage to the property. Then you sue them and they pay up and/or declare bankruptcy and you're stuck with some cleaning and repair tasks and expenses. Where I live, modest 2-3 bedroom houses currently sell for an average of $400,000 and are increasing in value about $1500 to $2000 per month. That's $18,000 to $24,000 per year in pure profit just by owning the place - then you add the $1500 per month rent on top and you end up with $36,000 to $42,000 per year, per house. Even after insurance, taxes, maintenance and repairs, I'm still making money.

[@RememberPills]

WTF! Who the hell are you to tell these folks what they SHOULD DO?!?! F-ing people with nothing but a mouth, and no idea what they are talking about. Being a landlord to 10 houses is equivalent to 'cutting off the head of a dragon, and two more pop out'. Destroyed homes, squatters, violent wife-beaters, meth heads...10s of thousands of repairs, nightmare evictions...shut the hell up! Man find a life where your stupidity matters, and stop saying what other should do...you obviously don't know crap about much!

[@vh3531]

They didn't steal anything. This is what happens when you buy from a salvage yard.

[@One-Crazy-Cat]

V H yeah no kidding buys salvage equipment at deep discount and expects it to be 100% or something. Good grief some people want their cake and eat it too.

[@dw7598]

Isn’t copart the auction company that handles selling insurance totals??

[@BadHaddy]

It was theft. CoPart is NOT a salvage yard, it is an auction. Anything removed form the vehicle is theft from the insurance company that cosigned it to copart. I have had similar happen, and have been able to use copart's own pics to put a claim in against their insurance for stuff stolen from the vehicle between when pics were taken and the vehicle was in my hands. Insurance companies do NOT remove parts for sale before auction, because it violates 'unjust enrichment' statues in most states. Either it had parts stolen while it sat before it was claimed by insurance, or it was stolen by the shop that inspected and totaled it, or it had parts stolen at copart's yard.

[@robteleeiii8567]

Exactly. He keeps saying stolen, but it was being salvaged, why do you think you paid the discounted rate? Because you have to put it back together. What did he think, it would be complete, but they wanted to sell it at the lowest price possible? No, you paid for what you got, have fun rebuilding it.

[@darylzero3139]

[@dodgeguyz]

Mold has been around for years. All Of a sudden. NOw everyone thinks it’s deadly!

[@bustinyanutz4195]

Nothing wrong with living in that beauty.

[@ravenousjm]

nice work! Wife and 3 kids myself, we have been living in our 35 foot 5th wheel for over 2 years now after selling our house. We have paid off all debt and are currently saving while looking for land to build our own house on as well. There is an adjustment getting use to a smaller space but the savings has more than been worth it for us.

[@Falney]

You cant steal what you own. In all likely hood it was the salvage firm that took the parts (while in their ownership) then sold the rest as a chassis. You basically went to Auto Trader, brought a "for parts" car then complained about it being un-drive-able.

[@smartazz61]

I love it. People that are RENTING something it's owner won't live in complaining about mold. Brilliant. You just keep on renting.

[@crzy11000]

It is classified as non repairable because the water will cause mold in the insulation and probably electrical issues. You can't properly fix these units because of the way they are assembled. You would need to gut the walls and replace all the electrical. The corrosion in electrical causes fires as the resistance at connections increases . The wiring overheats and you get a fire. I bet all the components were removed by insurance to test at time of repair estimate. Water damage to electronics is why your rv was totalled. Insurance does not want these modules sold to someone else as usable parts. The parts eventually fail causing fires and more insurance claims. They want them destroyed.

[@polabexar]

tldr

[@crzy11000]

polabexar My point is the modules were removed so insurance doesn't have a claim on another Rv that used them as replacements when this Rv is eventually parted out.

[@crzy11000]

That is my point they weren't there when it was posted. They were not stolen. It was posted as non repairable to be parted out. By removing and destroying the electronics it saves some unknowing buyer from being sold parts that will fail and may cause fires and deaths.

[@davidhorne9984]

check the ducts in the floor for water damage

[@razor3003]

Best answer I've heard yet. Also, whatever you save thru a salvage sale you give back on the other end...I personally avoid those. Happy trails to-ya!

[@ladyizzabella]

I am also a full timer, and it sure is a good investment compared to an apartment. And as long as the flooring isn't squishy or sagging and the cabinets aren't swollen, you can't tell if it was flooded. I've flooded my trailer and my brother flooded his TWICE lol. Also, the "old people funk" that everyone here keeps screaming is mold is actually from the trailer sitting for a while. The one we bought was only 3 years old and had sat for a year in a covered area, and it had that smell. It still has that smell. Yours looks very nice.

[@davidpedder9048]

The partswernt stollen, they were salvaged by someone after the frailer was totaled. Who knows ? it could have been the owner or the insurance adjuster

[@kgb4187]

Insurance adjusters aren't allowed to take parts off

[@bubba99009]

As the previous owner you aren't allowed to take parts off something after the insurance company bought it from you and paid you for those parts. That would still be theft. Only the insurance company had any legal right to remove that stuff and they don't do that.

[@Banner1986]

Welcome!

[@troysharp5052]

Im an RV Tech never know with salvage units like buying Pandora's box would start on roof inspect seals all the way down through water system unit still had factory sticker so if its got funk smell yes could be black mold but also flush black tank sanitize fresh water tank and lines chances are it sat in the salvage yard with stagnant water in the water heater and fresh lines fill your fresh tank add 1 1/2 cups bleach to fresh tank pressure up with the pump run all your faucets till you smell bleach then turn off pump let sit in lines over night then flush lines and tank out with fresh water you will notice a dramatic improvement on fresh water quality. A sewer flush will help the black tank however if you have dedicated sewer will help from having to move the camper to a dump station frequently the gray tanks can be stinky too you can treat them as well... Good luck!!

[@ront8261]

Beautiful RV!! I see a lot of folks speculating about flood water in the under floor insulation potentially creating mold, but I would think thats an easy fix too if their actually was? its obvious if their was flood damage, it wasn't deep. I don't know what the "non-repairable" means for you and if you will be able to get it titled again with an inspection; it would affect your future re-sale value for sure. But very nice job!!

We are looking for a deal like this to live in while we gut our home and rebuild it and I'd say you got a great deal at that price, I mean just think about all the variables you will have down the road. Make that place Solar, use EV batteries with a good inverter and if you ever want to travel you can, if you want to sell it after your home is built or you can just move. I bet you can still get back your money once it has upgrades like solar power. We used the Ford C-Max "Energi" lithium-ion battery which can be configured into any voltage you want, 12,24,48,or 60v, and we got them from LKQ. Get that 5th wheel off-grid and it raises the value.

[@Messy_Jesse]

Mold is typically no big deal. It's only a problem if you find multiple colors. I'd run the AC full blast for a week with a window cracked open on each side of the 5th wheel. Grab a moisture meter and periodically check the progress. You could rent a dehumidifier and have a certified water damage tech spray some sanitizer or sporicide if needed. People seem to freak out and rip walls down when they don't always need to be.

Had a mold specialist come in and sure enough all through the truck. Did a vehicle report and found it was in a flash flood (insurance report, user stayed 6 months after) in Nevada and mold expert said it had to be used in humid conditions to get as bad as it did. I sprayed bleach in the cold air intake and heat intake, still has a smell When we first start it.

the really amazing thing is if it was an ordinary trailer a standard driving licence would not be enough due to the weight, but since its a "camper", you can stick it on a pick up with a fifth wheel and tow it anywhere in the uk(as long as you passed your test before 1994 after that you have to pass a test to tow anything over 500 lbs)

Despite the zeros commenting on your post, I wish you luck in your project. It is your home and people should respect that. Which also brings the point " I hate Theives" comment. Being in LE for many years, I found thieves to be the lowest form of pond scum there is. However, without someone to buy what they steal, studies show that thieves sell 97.6% of what they steal, there would be no thieves. So, someone who buys from thieves or their fences are no better and only perpetuate crime. FYI, keep your fridge at 38 degrees. You are learning about buying from Copart or any other auction site. If the deal sounds too good, it probably is. You will gain a lot of knowledge as you rebuild your unit and don't look back or worry about what you paid cause it's too late.

I'm sure none of us can say for sure without really knowing them, but yeah I'd definitely be wanting all the help I can get. Also, where are the kids to help? My parents made me help with everything! Congratulations on the RV! I'm kind of jealous with how big that thing is!

[@markypolo55]

AE86: LOL. An Ex-Wife, obviously!

[@maplejakee]

lmfao, my mans going thru a heavy divorce

[@correr28]

Your doing thing's right, I bought a year old motor home and got it cheap, it only had 1,400 miles. Nobody wanted it because they trashed it, I clean it up and it looks brand new. they never took off the plastic off the mattress so I kept it. GOT THE FUNK OUT

[@JUST_ONE_ID10T]

non repairable means you can't get it legal for the road again and it should be used as parts. Sure it can be repaired but for some reason the insurance company didn't want it back on the road.

[@stella_rt]

BLISSFUL FAPPER I buy theses all the time. It’s more political than functional. We see this all the time

[@JUST_ONE_ID10T]

is it hard to get a title on one that is marked parts only or non repairable?

[@stella_rt]

BLISSFUL FAPPER nearly impossible unless you’re a dealer and then ask your self is it ethical

[@JUST_ONE_ID10T]

sometimes they are marked that way without there being a good reason for it. Then yeah it's ethical as long as it's safe and you disclose that it was previously marked as being none repairable.

[@johnpike9612]

nonrepairable DOES NOT mean it can't be fixed. it means that the insurance company didn't want to pay what it would cost to repair, anything ( absolutely anything) man made can be repaired for the right price.

[@troyarcher8163]

first thing you could do is build a 4' tall planter from redwood about 10' from the trailer on all 4 sides then plant already 6-8 foot tall italian cypress that will grow fast and taller providing you the most privacy legally since you cant build a 12 foot tall fence. I put a row all the way around mine and built an elevated redwood deck from the door 12 feet out to the cypress planter on that side. super private

[@brandoncaldwell95]

IDK, it probably was "flooded" but not like they were claiming. The belly probably got soaked, but nothing more than a tow through the rain. Owners probably took the payout and stripped pieces or someone else stole them knowing the prices and fled. Those Bay Hill models are pricey as i was looking at one. 75k is not a joke to repay..$1900 a month..

[@lmccluer]

My wife and I lived in a 40 ft with three slides, for 9 years total full time. We were camp hosts at a local state park for 6 months, and renting a house for the full year. We decided that was crazy, some friends had their camped for sake so we bought it. Like yours, it had problems, but ours was because it had been used by them at the same state park, but they quit and the camper was parked for three years without any use at all.

[@vr4junkie385]

What did it end up costing you?

[@visualpossibilities]

My wife and I are planning to do the same thing, but I have one question. How do you haul it away from the auction, if it is unregistered and has an unrepairable title?

[@michaelcarter2774]

Dude this isn’t bad at all. And I’m sure you saved Thousands. I bet the insurance company had all the components removed while totaling the trailer out.

[@BadHaddy]

Nah, that would be unjust enrichment in Texas. Insurance companies cannot sell the individual parts before auction. It is also NOT worth their time. It's more likely the parts were stolen while the vehicle sat. It was pretty targeted, so i'd suspect a shop did it. They knew exactly what parts were small, valuable and in demand (control boards and hydraulics.)

[@Ram-re5em]

I dont get these huge RV where can you camp with them? I have a 20 foot camper and take in in back woods to camp. Maybe Walmart partking lot is camping to some people.

[@MCscarfacematt]

this is nicer than my house but smaller then my bedroom

[@CombatDoc54]

Really liked this video. Good luck with your endeavours. You are fortunate to be able to afford and fix all those things yourself. I used to deal in Rv's and motorhomes. Just remember they aren't intended to live in full time. Two of the main things that break down in them when you do is the frig and air conditioner. They just aren't built as well or built to last when you use them on a daily basis for a couple of years straight. But then again, they may be fine. Good luck!!

[@andrewsmith-zi7db]

Like it a lot great videos really good content very nice bud

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Man, that trailer is WAY better than my apt here in France Trouble is I don't think that kind of 5th wheel RV is allowed over here But I love it

[@georgemulligan8958]

A man bun. Adorable

[@lynnanson4969]

Looks good and I can see how you want to save money..it's great that you can fix a lot yourself..kudos..you should get some air purification just in case..for the kids..it's know I almost died from white mold and I have asthma now from that..good luck to you and your family..happy land and home hunting...

[@SpankeeBLING]

That's a really smart move temporary living in it fella gutted about the items that were missing

[@pdm3kw1]

Nice video... I just had to deal with a leaking Jack for my motorhome... Do you plan on traveling with this on a regular basis? If not I would just get some scissor jacks and shore things up?

[@vaughanellis7866]

The real test is has it been approved the Mrs.?

[@charcoal386]

How do you know how to put that stuff back in? Do you have wiring diagrams

[@skeeter185]

That is a questionable wiring job inside that large compartment

[@atx-cvpi_99]

This RV came from New Braunfels which is not far away from where I live which is Austin.

[@mech5]

I suspect autocorrect strikes again. They typed gutted came up flooded.

[@Anitadubi]

Can't wait til they become old, and guess what you 2 are no exception😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 "Like they are above it".

[@stevemueller5844]

Awesome!

[@mrderekholmberg]

Great video, thanks for sharing - awesome 5th wheel RV. I'm hunting on CoPart for my first 5th wheel and I love the one you bought. Assuming the "non-repairable flood title" results in not being able to re-title the vehicle or get license plates for it or resell it with no title. Were you able to transfer the title and get license plates? Thanks for sharing ~~~ P.S. I think you got an awesome buy on that thing. I researched new ones similar to the one you bought with 2 bedroom, 2 bath and all those slides will run between $55,000 base to $92,000 + loaded.
